QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) My condolences to the Adenhart family and the other victim's families,what a totally avoidable tragedy...I swear,the human race needs to cull some of it's dumber members. Nice word bro

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) You are a jack ass and you can't even see it,it only has to happen once and even if the accident is not your fault,just for the fact that you were drunk,you'll be the one held responsible.Stop driving drunk,if only to cover your own ass if you don't care about anyone else. Sorry, don't give a s***

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) What did you think of the new Fast and Furious? haha, man this guy is awesome

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) What? You don't find it odd that a major league baseball player died in an '01 Mitsubishi Eclipse Convertible? That is a high school parking lot car. A girl was driving

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) My one last attempt. Think Dante Stallworth. Even if the guy he killed was completely out of his mind by wandering into the street (I have no idea what actually happened), Stallworth is still in deep, deep trouble because he was legally intoxicated at the time of the accident. Good luck overcoming that fact in court. So, you might be the greatest driver in the world even when intoxicated, but if someone else does something stupid and causes an accident, the risk increases exponentially that you'll get some blame for it. And if someone is hurt and/or killed in the accident, I sure wouldn't want to be in that position. Donte Stallworth hit some guy at like 7 in the morning, in Miami Beach, who was rushing across the street to catch a bus. Six lanes!!! Once again, I will repeat, driving where I live is not like it is in most places.. especially between 2-3 in the morning. Yes, I understand the risk involved and the consequences that can come from it.. but I honestly don't really care.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:58 AM) Your point regarding overreaction to the commonplace on account of celebrity is well taken. With all due respect, your rationalization of your drunk driving is not. I'll venture to guess that the majority of drunk driving accidents involve drivers with attitudes similar to yours. I don't know you, and apologize for sounding so judgmental, but I highly doubt you're as different from the rest of us as you seem to imply. If I'm wrong, I apologize and congratulate you, but even if your conduct has and remains "victimless," your behavior is still unrepentently criminal. Please reconsider, if not for your sake, then for your family's (and, in case we ever attend the same ballgame, my own). Peace. No need to apologize, I understand what you are saying. However, like I already said, a lot of people are running red lights/messing with their radio/speeding. Thats not what I do, and I know people have a hard time believing it because they all say "Well thats what every person who drives drunk says" but I have been in the car with other friends who driving drunk and it really isn't the same. I guess it is criminal but then again I do a lot of criminal things so I don't really think that matters much. And im not some alcoholic. If we ever were at the same ballgame you wouldn't need to worry because I wouldn't be drinking. The only time I ever drink ANYTHING is at the bar, other than that I don't touch alcohol.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 10:39 AM) You are? Your comment in the ShamWow hooker thread disagrees with this comment. Thats not fair, the original pictured posted in there were not the same as the ones that were later posted.. I was tricked into that one!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 12:54 AM) Well, personally I have never had any personal contact with anyone who has been in an drunk driving accident, so far. So, my largest contact with hearing about these incidents have been ones told my cheesy school videos, or famous athletes who have been involved. And Ive lived in urban and suburban areas, so I should be more exposed to this I guess. Basically, when famous people are involved in these incidents it just reinforces to people that "oh s***, this is real. this can really happen to me." I think that same message is applied to people who know friends, family, etc who have had similar experiences. And I agree with that, but what I don't agree with is it having to be someone famous to get a message across. The message should still be the same regardless of who is involved. And as far as movies and school videos go, they are always overblown into trying to scare people into not doing something. Have you ever put on those "drunk goggles"? Looks NOTHING like it does when you are drunk, its more like for the person who has the worst eyesight in the world without glasses on. Some people are just incredibly sloppy drunks, while others are not. And in somewhat the same type of situation, how about the man who got killed at the Angels game the other day when getting into some fight. I don't recall seeing anything on this site about that, however, if it was a professional athlete who was killed in a fight we would all be giving our prayers and saying "oh what a tragedy".

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 12:37 AM) So, youre saying that drinking and driving doesnt affect you. Fair enough. Maybe others are in a similar position where it also hasn't hit them personally, and maybe seeing an athlete like Nick be killed by a drunk driver sends a wake up message to them. Wheres the fault in that? There is no fault in it I was merely saying that I personally find it annoying that while many people every day die from drunk drivers the only time its really ever brought to attention is when its someone who is either a professional athlete or a celebrity. Why does it have to be someone "famous" to send a message? There is no difference between someone who can throw a baseball good and Joe Schmo in Denver, Colorado. If I lived in a large city or it was like early in the evening, I wouldn't risk it. However, I feel comfortable in my ability to get myself home safely without driving like madman in my setting.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) So whats worse, being shocked by the incident and vowing never to drink and drive again? OR Saying that its stupid to be shocked by this incident because its a commonplace event that can be avoided, YET you still dont do anything to change your own habit of drinking and driving? I don't need to change anything, I don't live in Los Angeles.. I don't live in the actual city of Houston.. I live in a place where driving home at 2-3 in the morning means you are generally the only car visible.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 12:11 AM) Please stop. I will not. I am an excellent drunk driver, and when you see stories like this there is always a main cause (I.E. blowing through a red light) that is totally unnecessary. Sorry, but I see no harm in driving 2 miles to my house from the bar at 2:30 in the morning when there is rarely a car in sight aside from people leaving the bar and cops, a lot of them, and I have never been pulled over. Why? Because I drive the speed limit, I stay in my lane, I don't run red lights or roll through stop signs. There has only been one time in my life when I was too f***ed up and couldn't drive home and that was after getting hammered at the bar and then taking some colossal rips off the bong and even THEN I was smart enough to tell myself, while extremely f***ed up, that I was too gone to drive and I didn't. Other than that, I am a very coherent drunk..

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) LOL, how far you have come from "We dont need Cutler because we dont have Wide Recievers, and he is overrated anyways" zzzzzing!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 11:19 PM) Did I or anybody else insinuate that drinking and driving was cool until this incident? My situation was over 2 years ago. And I haven't gotten behind the wheel of a car drunk since. I didn't all of a sudden become reformed yesterday. I wasn't trying to call anyone out by that, it was more directed towards how you only really see this when a professional athlete/celebrity has it happen to them when it happens countless times every day somewhere without the same response like they are any different. Edit - And I drink and drive all the time, so clearly im not trying to point you guys out and say you're horrible or something.

Disgusting

I really hope they are booing the s*** out of these assholes.. The Sox, not the Royals.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 12:31 PM) Pavano has given up 5 runs so far and only recorded one out. Go Brandon McCarthy!!! McCarthy looks real good so far. Struck out the side in the first.

Its so annoying to read these stupid RIP threads and see so many people claim "I will never drink and drive again" just because some baseball player dies when ordinary people die from this ALL the time and its never mentioned.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) Wise is going to go 4/4 with 2 2B a HR and a SB tomorrow. Book it. If he does I am sure there will be a line of people ready to complain instead of praise

I guess im gonna be the one to say give Wise a break. He had a good spring and weve played ONE game. Yeah, he sucked ass, but he has been thrown into starting CFer and leadoff man and ide imagine its a lot of pressure on him. If he is continually garbage (Which I know there is a 99% chance he will be.) then you know they are going to make a move anyways. But come on, there shouldn't be people calling for his head after one game.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) Fair enough point, but I still want him to do well and I want us to win the division. Bah, I don't give a s*** about Joe Crede.. Thanks for 2005, but you aren't a member of the White Sox and that's were my loyalty lies. I could care less what other players do when they move on, I am a fan of the White Sox not a former White Sox player on another team, especially a rival team. I hope Joe sucks it up to be quite honest. Whatever helps the Twins be bad this season, im all for.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) Really? GTFO, because that's all you are going to get this year. Haha, I was joking But seriously though, I was surprised no one mentioned we didn't draw a walk

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) I'm all for big families, I want a lot of kids... but there is a big difference between that, and having 10+ kids with several different women all by the time you are 20. Not to mention impregnating a 17 year old when he was 24. That just shows a complete lack of morals and complete disregard for human life quite frankly. 1. Im sure he didn't plan to have kids with several different women, some guys prefer to raw dog it and use the pull and pray method.. Its possible he is just unlucky, but I think its fair to say no one WANTS to have several kids with several women. 2. Plenty of people sleep with multiple women, there is nothing immoral about that at all. Sex is awesome, and if you enjoy it why wouldn't you have sex with lots of people? I have a friend that is in the 100's, none of them have gotten pregnant and hes not a condom man, which brings me back to point #1 that maybe he is just unlucky in that department. 3. Are you saying that a 24 year old sleeping with a 17 year old is immoral? Or is it that she got pregnant? Is that because shes 17? Do you realize that in most places being 17 is legal age of consent? Or are you saying sleeping with someone 7 years younger than you is immoral? If shes 24 and hes 31 is it still immoral?
