QUOTE(scenario @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) IMO... I don't think this is about Buehrle... it's about Danks. I think they're concerned about something they see and they want to get another look at Masset starting. I wish that is the case. But if it has hooves and runs by the barn, think horse, not zebra.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 10:11 AM) Fair enough, but our entire legal system is based on the "buuuuttt your honor, jimmies judge told him that he could go out and play" logic. Precisely because things don't fit in a nice hierarchy we are forced to balance, weigh factors, and decide between course X and Y. It's a perfectly plausable, and logical, argument to use societies history of accepting alcohol as a legal drug to make the point that others should also be legal. Edit: And I totally agree that our "logic" behind making some of those determinations are often mindless and completely arbitrary. All good points. And I don't necessarily disagree with them. Perhaps this becomes more an issue of strategy? If we did go down that path, and use the comparisons between marijuana laws and alcohol, would it not be equally logical to conclude that we should ban alcohol, just like we ban marijuana?

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 10:07 AM) lol, i have some friends who have very boring jobs, so they go onto these blogs that post stuff like this. It's good for me because I get all the good ones without searching through all the bad. I was thinking what would jenks type into google to return that search?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 09:06 AM) Joe isnt helping the situation batting .080 either. Tough situation, you have to play him to show his rehab progress, but want to hide that .080

The Sox stance and track record with Boras is going to keep making this difficult. Everyone in baseball knows the situation and will low ball.

QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 08:43 AM) If Rowand REALLY wanted to play in Chicago he would of taken the 4 year contract... He's full of it Nothing in life is that simple. There are priorities and realities. I am certain there are a number of people here who would love to work for the Sox. Would they give up $75,000 jobs, homes, and college funds for their kids, to take a $15,000 intern job? Of course not. But I don't believe they are lying if they say they would like to work for the Sox. So we know that it isn't worth a few million dollars to Rowand to play with Joe. Hell, I'm not certain how many diamonds that would make Joe, but certailnly more than 7.

QUOTE(max power @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 08:12 AM) My opinion was blatantly misrepresented dozens of times in one post. I'm not going to let that happen and unfortunately you are doing it again right here by applying something I said before to my reaction to something said later. You took a post I spent 7.5 seconds on and did a great job of refutting in. I should have realized that someone here had studied this in depth and would expose me for the fraud I am. Relax, enjoy your moment in the sun

QUOTE(max power @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 02:26 PM) Not sure why you think I care so much.

There is also a script running that my browser rejected. Not uncommon, but something to be aware of.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) Hilarious Hey Jenks, how did you find that gem?

I'm looking at the reunion website and thinking, who the hell are most of these people?

Couple of things in case people were wondering. Asked first He has a number of posts here, not registering only to promote some site. Asked first Seemed like a great application that members would be interested in Did I mention he asked first? Not a direct copy of soxtalk Yeah, he asked.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 06:10 PM) Also I still don't understand why you don't like bringing alcohol into the argument. I mean, if you're seriously against alcohol being available, then ok. If not, alcohol is used as the base of comparison as its the only "legal" drug in the class we're talking about. Because that comparison works both ways. As others have noticed, we allow alcohol, which is way worse than pot, so therefor we should also ban alcohol. It isn't logically more valid than buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut Johnny's mom is letting him go. For a wide range of reasons we have allowed certain things and banned others, do you really think they all fall in a nice neat hierarchy? Once we start placing them on some scale and making it fair, we need to throw out our entire system.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) A 42 year old woman I used to work with died a couple of days ago from liver and kidney disease brought on by alchollism. I really don't know what the real long-term health ramifications are for smoking weed, but it can't be worse than that. Another reason why we should bring back prohibition.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Oh, so you are talking about drinking rubbing alcohol? IN that case we should ban Sterno as well since thats the same chemical formula, and homeless people melt THAT down and drink it, true story. I hadn't really considered just how bad alcohol is, and use to think dry counties were kind of stupid, but you have opened my eyes. Thank you.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) Alcohol has zero medicinal value and has not only horrifically higher impairment, but also can kill you in a short period of time. Alcohol kills people by stupidity and also by its chemical makeup. Alcohol is used to sterlize instruments. But you are right, alcohol should be banned.

I did not state my point very well. A very small percentage of cough syrup users are trying to get high, and a very small percentage of pot smokers are helping their Glaucoma. Most smokers will be partying, and this should be a bigger priority then worrying about cough syrup abusers.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 13, 2008 -> 03:44 PM) So are you suggesting like Clemens, Bonds, McGwire, etc, are Hall of Fame deserving, but some players, such as Ruth, Aaron, Mays (and from this era, Pedro, Maddux, Henderson, perhaps Griffey) are more deserving of like a Hall of Immortality or something such as that? Basically, yes. Cy Young, Mays, Ruth, Williams, Aaron, etc.
