QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) I've explained my handle around here a few times, but we have some newbies, so here goes .... YASNY takes the first letter of the phrase (and the song) You Ain't Seen Nuthin' Yet. It evolved from a phrase I would use a lot in chat rooms to a handle. No, it has nothing to do with New York. You mean you aren't a Carl Yastremsky fan? Actually that is what I thought at first.

This one had Mexico plates so who knows. There are a number of cars that are legal in Mexico and by extension, legal to drive within the border zone. It didn't look like a mail car, it was new and more of a car.

When we are willing to live like workers in Mexico, Hunduras, Sri Lanka, et al then the jobs will return.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Would you be this apologetic towards Boras and his clients if we had given bums like Bobby Seay and Bobby Hill the big signing bonuses they wanted? Boras overhypes all of his clients. It's not like every player he works for is a stud worth a ton of money, although Boras seems to think so. Boras was hardballing the Brewers over Dan Kolb, who had a garbage 2005 season with the Braves. The point I am making is arbitrarily not negotiating with someone because you fear losing doesn't hurt anyone but the Sox. Boras works very hard for his clients, and they generally do very well financially. Now to hear some people here, every free agent the past year should be kicking themselves for not signing with the Sox and winning a championship. I find it very silly to blame Boras when a team overspends. What does he do to make them over spend? Are they spellbound when they look in his eyes? Does he secretly speak in subliminal messages? Is it magic?

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 03:47 PM) I think the "Worlds greatest" font needs cleaning up, let me know if you think I should bother. I think the double border would be better like ver 2 of the first one which was sweeeeet

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) Not true. you have 15 tries, assuming you remain above the 5% threshold, before they kick you to the veterans committee. Sutter got in on #13. Thank you, I must have mis heard the report.

I was passing a car today that had "right side steering" and wondered about the pedals. Is the gas to the right or left of the brake? I've always assumed that the gas is always operated with the right foot, but then got to thinking that may be innacurate.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) I need some advice. Where can I buy something for a 3 week old fetus? None of the stores seem to have that size. Well if you think that fetus (I'll use baby) will grow into a puppy or kitten, go to Pet Smart, if you think it will sprout tires, may Advanced Auto, but at least in all the areas I've lived that baby will need infant clothes after leaving what should be the protected womb of the mother. And Kap, you are welcome. I don't think we have blamed the thread started before for actions of everyone else. Perhaps we should thank Jason for this forum and Soxtalk

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 10:04 AM) Regarding number 2 ... The Sox have lost 3 1st round draft picks that failed to sign because Boras was their agent. The Sox got used by and lied to by Boras in the Alex Rodriguez free agency. The Magglio Ordonez situation went right into the s***ter when he signed Boras as his agent. The Sox have every reason to choose not to negotiate with Boras. Of course they can choose not to negotiate with any agent, in fact they can stop signing players with J or T in their names, or who are born in odd number years, but any arbitrary inflexible rule hurts the team more than Boras and his clients. As was mentioned above, know what you are willing to spend and don't spend more. It isn't like Boras does some weird hypnosis thing. The reason so many Boras agents have signed elsewhere is the Sox rarely sign the top free agents, regardless of who the agent is.

I have to agree with him. Maybe next year. Sutter got in on the last cance ballot. BTW, Sutter will not be wearing Cubbie blue

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 07:11 AM) Abortion, my friend ... that's what I call murdering babies. I was talking about the philosophical backing of abortion, by liberals. I never said liberals murder babies. Stop twisting my words. LOL, OK YAS, I'm not taking the bait.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 07:27 AM) The early satellite radios weren't good. The quality is a lot better now. Now the talent is crap and the sound is better

Boras is the #1 agent in baseball. You could field a pretty damn good All-Star team with his players. It seems in the past the Sox have throw in the towel because they are afraid of getting out negotiated. At least they are trying in this case. If I was a player, I'd be knocking on Boras' door and asking him to be my agent.

Yeeeeeees! Finally something that makes it seem like nothing has changed . . . some scrap heap, catch lightening in a bottle, cheap bodies to talk about. That's what I've been missing this off season, instead of guys like Thome. I love being champs

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 05:58 PM) I'm sorry, Howard who? Howard Dean? Maybe he's on against Rush?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) So be it, then. In general, any philosophy the believes in the murder of babies and attempting to exclude God from our society is in my opion, Godless. If the shoe fits ... Liberals murder babies? :headshake BTW, there are liberals in Church with you. Too bad that half the population that voted, voted for the liberal candidates the last four elections. So in your opinion, half of America wants to drag the country down the s***ter. you must be S c a r e d

Incorgbl's finest moment IMHO was the Bartolo Colon song he claimed to write. Funny stuff.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 12:25 PM) Unfortunately? You want a Godless America? No wonder the liberals are dragging this country right down the s***ter. Which proves the authors point that in many Churches, members must worship the GOP along with Jesus. Even YASNY believes that liberals are Godless.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 10:56 PM) Wait....we are allowed to post on other message boards!??!??! It's our little way of making the whole internet better

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) What screen names do you use elsewhere? I use a different one for every site I visit. I've used my trail name Jimbow (kind of like rainbow), Jimmybw, Lem Siddons after my favorite fictional Scoutmaster, Scouter, Peddler, SOMF, and a couple others I've forgotten. Should I also list the ten sock puppets I use here?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) I don't know what ESPN and whitesox.com's numbers look like, but we did pass WSI for total posts during the summer. They do still have more members however. There is no accurate way to really determine "members", because it really is just how many screen names have been created. How about Soxtalk: Over One Million White Sox Fan Posts and One World Championship! Soxtalk: World's Greatest White Sox Community Soxtalk: Southsider2k5's #1 Choice to Post

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 12:13 PM) Don't forget that for a long time he refused to tell us who "his" team was because then the arguements would just degenerate into "your team sucks more". He's a D-Backs fan... OMG! LMAO

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) arent you tempted to just let him have a shot at being a poster here, just to hear his "realism"? I mean, we have the ultimate trump card now, and the team doesnt look to suck next year. If he got out of hand, buhbye.... i know its not realistic, but its funny to see trolls actually have nothing to say anymore. There was a guy named Cubster over on the chicagosports boards who promised playoffs and a championship in 2004, and he hasnt been seen but twice in a year now. Once to admit he was wrong. Another troll we don't hear from anymore is Incorgbl, I do miss knocking his pompus ass around. In fact, he has been the only poster here I really didn't mind calling out.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 10, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) It's not just one church - its far too many of them. The Silent Majority, etc. Sometime a while back the Dems and GOP dealt out cards in a vast game, they divided issues and special interest groups. Both groups had winners and losers among them.
