That's just damn embarrassing.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) No worse than any other at the big sites. I think it is actually.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:07 AM) I've always hated it and still do but could care less if one starts up. I just ignore it and carry on. Whenever everyone else stands up and you just sit there, people stare at you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) The wave is a disgrace to all sports. Boo on Sox fans for doing it. Kill it. Twice in one night where I agree completely with Greg. What the hell is going on?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) If the Sox don't add a bat, I'd like to see Castro ATLEAST be the DH more, if not get more starts at C. eh you really don't wanna DH your backup C if you don't have to

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:22 AM) I see the Wave at every Sox game I go to, and it usually goes all around more than once. I hate it. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I hate it.

I endorse this whole-heartedly, I actually feel kind of embarrassed when people start doing the wave and I get irritated when people repeatedly try to start it and the fans near them (rightfully) kill it each time by ignoring it. Can't take a hint.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) What is your definition of more? What I said? Or what the other poster said? Or ? In no way can it seem like AJP is being demoted or you can say goodbye to team chemistry. What you said.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) Not unreasonable at all. But make him the starter?? Why? AJP is doing fine. Castro is doing fine. Start him when Freddy pitches? Of course. Against all lefties? I wouldn't be against that. Rest AJP a little more than normal? Fine. But AJP is the starter. There are things about baseball that include chemistry. This team has it. It would be insane to "demote" him. Just insane to team chemistry/unity. I don't think Castro should be starting. But I definitely think he should be playing more (until/unless he stops hitting).

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:59 PM) Why? It seems to be working just fine starting AJP the majority of the games. Omar looking good tonight after getting no love in the game thread when the lineup was announced. Good job Paulie, Quentin, Castro, Beckham, Freddy, Beckham. 11 in a row at home. I like it. Are we seeing the same AJ? This is one of his worst offensive seasons in recent memory. It can be described as mediocre at very best (defense has been good though). Meanwhile, when Castro plays, he rakes. Suggesting Castro get more playing time isn't unreasonable.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:33 AM) Yep, Yahoo is my favorite sports site on the web now because it mixes official AP stories, blogs, and columns really well IMO. I also agree with the post you quoted that ESPN simply can't be treated as a news organization anymore, I almost think that's obvious at this point. Yahoo commenters are some of the stupidest on the internet though... both on sports and on regular news. To get worse you'd have to go to Youtube.

I thought it was a settled question for a long time now that the government isn't isn't in the business of engineering, never was, and never will be, and has no ability whatsoever to do things like fix the leaking well. Or to control disasters of unprecedented size (especially considering how the laws are written). Why is this being talked about?

Damn dude did you have this thread ready to post as soon as the last out was caught?

Also one time in the Army they woke us all up at like 4 am for a surprise health and welfare inspection (checking for cleanliness and possible drug use) and had us in this holding area. This being the morning I had to pee so I saw a sergeant standing by the door, I said "excuse me, I gotta use the bathroom." He sighs and kinda rolls his eyes and opens the door and I walk in, and... he follows me. Caught me completely off guard and I realize the reason he was standing there was to prevent people from flushing drugs down the toilet or whatever. Even though my bladder was ready to pop I just couldn't do it with his ass standing there watching. Had to go back 15 minutes later.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Ever been in your car, stuck in traffic, when suddenly, out of nowhere, you get 'the rumbles'?? You know you have about 5 mins to get on a toliet. One of the worse feelings. In high school once in 7th period (last period of the day) I suddenly had an onset of the BGs and I managed to hold it until the end of the period, so I ran to the bathroom on the 3rd floor... come to find out none of the stalls in my ghetto ass school had any toilet paper. I went to the 2nd floor (barely making it and fortunately it was right next to the staircase), same thing. I desperately went down to the 1st floor thinking, surely the 1st floor bathroom, the main one, has some toilet paper? Nope, and at this point I was out of options. To make matters worse I had to walk home from school. 6 city blocks, 3/4 of a mile. Awesome.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) It's amazing that Kostay still gets to play so much even after sucking for 4 months in a row. It's amazing that he doesn't suck when he doesn't play so much but he is basically being encouraged to suck.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Do you extend him after the season? You kind of have to... I mean, I wouldn't expect these numbers from him next season, but yeah, he can still play.

f*** yes! Back to back b****! I swear those looked the exact same shape and to the same place.

From reading his Facebook, Ochocinco appears to be really excited.

BTW, just because someone is posting in this thread and going along with or against certain points doesn't necessarily mean they want Kenny and/or Ozzie fired, the assumption is kind of annoying. Personally, I like Kenny and want to keep him and don't really care if Ozzie stays or goes (I'd really support him staying honestly, but the fact that he is so married to out-wasting by doing s*** like sac bunts by good hitters with fast players on base, or that he doesn't appear to even look at basic splits when he decides lineups and matchups and mocks the idea really pisses me off).

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 07:26 PM) Think about a girl giving you oral sex. That might help. It's actually physically impossible to do both of those things at the same time

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) Posted this in the trade catch-all thread. So in the last year the Phillies have been able to trade for Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay and it looks like Roy Oswalt all while not sacrificing anything from the major league team and holding on to their #1 prospect in Dominic Brown. Yeah, farm system depth is really overrated. Yeah, I don't get why this seems to be so hard to explain. The farm system doesn't guarantee you success but damn does it make things easier. Downplaying it is like saying "I don't think it's important to have maximum resources." "I don't care what you managed to do in Vegas with $5000, I can have just as much fun there with $100 so it really makes no difference whether I have $100 or $5000 when I go"

f*** it.

None of us Jordan supporters can really criticize TOO much considering he used to do s*** like this too (and worse) and the media more or less protected him.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) i really don't care who has the better minor league system the only thing that matters is winning at the major league level. One could translate to the other but winning is all that matters. The World Series wins puts them up there of course but again if you look at how awful they were before hand their system was bound to be good with all those years of higher picks. Having a non-s***ty farm system (with talent constantly coming in due to good scouting, drafting strategy, and player development) makes it MUCH easier to compete at the major league level.
