He's gone. Deal with it. It's just baseball. If you guys hearing/reading about it then don't f***ing read this thread.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 04:58 PM) Sorry Debbie, they'll be over .500 this time next week When has this team shown that it has the balls and production to consistently keep winning!? They take one step forward, then two steps backwards.

You just know the Sox will get back to .500 and within a few games of first, only to drop back to 6-7 games under right after.

This is terrible. My thoughts out to the families affected.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 10:30 PM) 4765 Did the mention on ESPN get us more members?

Sucky game but man that was a blast. I was there in a suite because a vendor brought us in, and then won a raffle for a Paul Konerko signed jersey. Now I need to find a framing place.

Yup, he was a bit smug and pompous in his emails to me, but I believe he finally saw (and admitted to me) the flaw in how he presented that quote. I appreciate the change Mr. Greenberg.

Leaving work soon to go to the game. A vendor is sponsoring a suite for us as a networking event. First time ever in a suite box, I cannot wait!

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) I know what you're getting at here, but this season is not good. I'd rather see a young team full of guys trying hard than the crap I'm seeing now. On a side note, I never thought the team would be this bad without Konerko. It's amazing to me how different the team seems without him. BUT OZZIE AND RONGEY SAID ONE PLAYER DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!1111!!1!!!!11!!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:41 AM) While all publicity is good publicity. I find it very offensive to have this site being labeled "racist". Up until 1967, it would have been illegal for me in certain states to be married to my wife due to us being of different races. So when someone labels the site that I own as being racist, I find it incredibly offensive and upsetting. Yup, and when friends and family that are also Sox fans and read these articles know that you are a poster/member of this website, it hurts. Especially when you respect the board community and know that these allegations are completely false and unfair.

Over the past few weeks I've been watching Breaking Bad, and I'm hooked. I'm about halfway through the 3rd season now and it's just been fantastic. Two things I just don't like so far: 1) Skylar, she turned into a mega b**** 2) Hank, they are killing his character's personality that I loved in the first two seasons.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) I don't understand why the world needs a Total Recall remake. The original is still perfectly awesome in every f***ing way. Damn you Cohagen!!

He offered this:

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) I'm going to put a kabash to any talk of that right now. A, it isn't libel cause he's reporting a quote from someone else. I would like to see a retraction though. I, personally, would be jsut fine with Quinarvy's "Edit" idea. I expect that at the least.

His response: Very smug.

So Mr. Greenberg responded again with: He just doesn't get out that paragraph reads like it what was meant at Soxtalk.com. My response: His response: Very smug.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 10:15 AM) And unfortunately, that is where it will get left. I'm sure there will be no follow up.

Mr. Greenberg's last response:

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 09:54 AM) Well someone has to actually look at reality when it comes to Tebow. The Broncos' beat reporters in Denver are admitting Tebow isn't even close to Orton in practice, and honestly is getting beaten out by Brady Quinn. So now Hoge is an ass because he is pointing out that Tebow lacks any actual NFL quarterbacking skills? It's still early in practices, I'll give Tebow that. But that organization made a terrible mistake already giving Tebow the job publically.

Got this response: I replied that the way he quoted it made it read that Ozzie Jr. was referencing this site specifically.

I sent a personalized letter, had some anger behind it but no profanities or insults.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 07:51 AM) We had a very vague comment from Mark Teahen that turned into an umpteen page thread about Oney's subsequent twitter-tirades. Now, we have a stickied response from a player's wife regarding derogatory comments made by Oney. I believe that positive things came out of that thread, and I think Lauren Teahen has shown herself to be a strong, dynamic woman who won't take any s*** (good for you). However, there's a larger lesson in this. Can the focus on Oney Guillen please end? When we talk about Oney Guillen, he is the only one who wins. He is obviously not in this thing for anything but attention. He has added nothing of anything value to this organization from a baseball standpoint. He is a truly pathetic excuse for an adult. However, we are fanning the flames. If we all truly believe that this organization needs to get back to having two eyes on the baseball field, let's have the fans here at soxtalk lead by example. We are renowned as some of the most knowledgeable and passionate fans in baseball. Let's add to that reputation, rather than the reputation a lot of other organizations have. Many fans believe that Oney represents all that is wrong with Ozzie, and therefore making a big deal out of this translates to trouble for Ozzie and hoping that he gets canned for some link to this. But Ozzie has withstood bad seasons, insults to the gay community, countless tirades, etc. He isn't going anywhere because of this.

What a complete dumbass, you just flat out deny that s***. JR is loyal to a fault, but I can see this being Ozzie's undoing. Going to Reinsdorf with such arrogance appears to be a death wish.
