Texsox

Being that most of the time the only way I can follow the team is via press accounts the press is more important to me than to y'all.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) I'm sorry.. but so what? I'm just not a Bonds fan and think he is a disgrace to baseball.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) No, I mean that he knows nothing. And he admits as much. I'm not talking about basic ideas and stories taken from blogs I mean reading entire entries from them and not giving any credit. He's pretty well known for this. Since I don't read many blogs, it's new to me. Also, keep in mind I'm in a small market without any choices.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 08:26 PM) "f**" has been a slain term for "wuss" for quite a while now, at least it is where I grew up. I'm surprised you've never heard it. And what is your definition of wuss? Isn't wuss a slang term?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) And what exactly do you like about his show? The fact that he knows absolutely nothing about sports and the small amount of sports knowledge he displays is taken directly from Blogs? First off, there are absolutely nothing on radio or tv today that can't also be found in blogs and on message boards, so the fact that with hundreds of thousands of people all communicating, that most are saying things that can be found elsewhere, isn't that big of a deal. I am certain that I just thought that up, but someone could find a blog somewhere that also said it, did I plagiarize? I like his guests, I like the pace of his show, I like that he will take the unpopular positions at times. And if you really think he knows absolutely nothing about sports, you probably mean his doesn't agree with you.

Whata ass!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 6, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) Aside from Dan Patrick, he's my favorite sports show on the radio. I guess that makes it just the two of us. I like his show.

I just received this through one of my Scouting lists. My prayers to everyone whose life is less than a peaceful ideal. The nurse's name and position was deleted before I received it.

QUOTE(shipps @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:26 PM) After spending 5 hours of my Saturday night at Buzz,I just want to reiterate how much I hate going to clubs.Spending the hole night talking to people 2 inchs away from your face with their breath smelling like crap and JackDaniels.And those who you would call good dancers are really just drunken body movers who wax their eyebrows twice a week and wear pointy shoes from Aldo.I dont get why would anybody enjoy being around a bunch of people like that every weekend. That pretty much sums it up. I enjoyed them a lot more when I switched to be the designated driver and would just make certain all my buddies embarrassing moments would not be forgotten and would be safe. I also met some nicer ladies that way.

Most teams seem to have a few guys wearing the uniform.

Please tell me that Bonds will be wearing 24. Crap, he will be wearing it. I'd rather have any honest player wear the number before him. The Cubs have 4 players wearing the number. I wonder if Thomas will be wearing it for the Blue Jays.

Go Frank!! I am so glad he gave the Sox a couple "home town discounts" to stay in a Sox jersey.

Happy Easter. The happiest day on the Christian calendar.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 11:57 AM) I'm not. If there is a possibility my life or the life of my family could be ruined, there isn't a chance. You have mentioned that a couple times, could you elaborate? I think I know what you are driving at, and frankly if this law doesn't offer you some comfort, I'm even more confused about the law. You clearly are a get involved kind of guy, or else you would not have placed your name on a ballot. Are you more concerned about retaliation through the courts, or retaliation through intimidation or worse?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 12:09 PM) What are you trying to do - see how many kids you can scar for life in one sitting?!?!! Yes we are. My program directorm who happens to be a sweet third grade teacher with grown children has an evil streak I really enjoy. She's waiting until Thursday to show the movie so at least most of their week is over, they leave on Saturday. I have a pretty good Fender PA system coming and may add a sub woofer just for the dum dum dum of the movie. I think the realism of being out there on the water and all the sounds will add something, And finally, the coolest part are all the dolphins that are seen swimming in our waters, Or are those great whites

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) And now you tell me how "tired out" makes ANY sense in the context of the statement. It doesn't. He's lying through his teeth and for some unknown reason people are going right along with it even though it doesn't fit. Like I said, I could really care less if he's using the word 'f**' to mean 'wuss' but to lie about it in this way just makes him look like a complete fool. And "you always homosexual out on me" makes sense to you?? Must be a generational thing but his version makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than yours. Why would you use a sexual term in that place?

Help settle a bet. Was Jaws (the original) a horror movie or something else, perhaps a scary action/suspense? We are planning on showing it this summer at my Camp. Midnight movie, out under the pavillion, surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico. Sounds like fun to me,.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:27 PM) Cheater! You changed your guess--it was substantially lower earlier today! I think you are thinking the sub title in his self congratulatory 20,000 post thread,.This wasn't edited at all.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) No,Tex just chooses to ignore what refutes his argument. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=1380223 I listed the section of the bill that specifically refers to what Tex claims, and it makes provisions to take care of people who knowingly submit false reports. Oh, and if they are wearing that black, oversized hooded sweatsuit when it is 90 degrees out, I am gonna report it. The problem becomes proving it was a false claim. Think OJ. His only punishment was in civil not criminal court. I am not ignoring it, but it is a very weak provision. Anyway you slice it, this takes away the innocent person's day in court. That is who is being punished by this law, that is who's rights are being tossed aside. Second part, report it. But remember, down here we see people getting off planes with big heavy jackets and it's 80 degrees here. It's an airport, you have to know where they are going to where they came from.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Ok, now I'm convinced you haven't even read what this law does. The law stops people who report suspicious activities from being sued. These lawsuits would be brought by INNOCENT people who are the subject of those reports. So this law stops innocent Americans from their day in court. Instead of a Judge or jury determining if that specific situation has merit, these lawmakers have decided in advance that there are no grounds ever for someone being sued. Clearing the way for people to report anyone for any reason. Someone wearing a black, oversizes, hooded sweat suit, damn, that's suspicious, better report it. I believe that innocent Americans always deserve their day in court. This law takes the rights of innocent Americans to seek compensation in a court of law. So we take away their rights and give it to people who may or may not have committed slander.

The Voices in My Head

If the kid is the courtesy runner and then enters the game, what are the team's options?

Balta seems to be on a posting tear. So let's play, guess Balta's post count. Enter your guess as to his post count total on Monday afternoon at 5:00 pm. I'm taking 20,307

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 12:58 AM) I think I'm going to die. I play in a weekly soccer league (pretty competitive league but in the end its still for fun) but with our busy season just ending we were down a few players (no subs plus 2 short) and I now feel like I want to vomit. To make matters worse all our players that were there stepped up and played our best games only to lose near the end. Grow up, get fat, and stop that s***.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 06:17 PM) Here's another black helicopter thought for you on this subject. Syria is credited with the back channel diplomacy that got the 15 UK sailors and marines sent back home this week. Notice how that was timed with Pelosi's visit? Kind of like the hostages getting released as Reagan was sworn into office?
