Owning a gun is completely pointless, and doing a lot more harm than good, if you don't know how to use it. Actually it's ridiculously irresponsible and endangers others unnecessarily with little benefit, and if it wasn't such a slippery slope I'd say anyone that doesn't know how to use a gun either needs safety and marksmanship training or needs to surrender it. This is doubly true for assault weapons, and besides having an armed rebellion against an oppressive government (something that only wingnuts really believe and say to each other usually, and something that's completely overblown too) while I'm not arguing that they should be illegal, I can't really think of any legitimate uses for them either. You can use it in your house, but you'd f*** everything up, and probably stuff in other rooms and maybe even your neighbors too. And that's pretty much what shotguns are for anyway.

I heard LeBron is signing with the Chicago Sky

If there is Pods hate on this board (not talking 2009 when he was actually good) then it's a correction to the excessive ballwashing and unrealistic expectations.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) All I remember from 2006 is defending Mackowiak tooth and nail. It was bulls*** that Ozzie kept trotting him out there, I felt horrible for Rob. I was actually sad to see him go. I'd get pissed off when he'd play CF, it was obvious he couldn't do it and that was where he was worst on the field. Might as well put Konerko out there. But Ozzie kept putting him out there, again and again. And again. And again.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) Or maybe the fan base is smart enough to realize managers have to say they like their current team and need nothing else. Not really... read random comments outside of Soxtalk sometime...

Ok I found it, it's Article VI This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Question for some of the states-rights people here: how do you view this issue? Most (all?) states-rights advocates are right-leaning and I would assume support gun ownership rights, but this ruling makes federal law trump state and local law. People like to ignore the part where the Constitution says federal law trumps state law, though (granted, I can't name where exactly it says that in the Constitution anymore since it's been too long)

I actually would prefer that Ozzie never said another word on the subject ever again.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) You called the Threets move, do you have some inside info or just lucky guess? Put it this way, when he talks, you and I need to pay attention

He might be an upgrade at DH if he did that full-time... and I'm only half joking

Watching live Twitter feeds totally made watching the BET awards worth it

Why?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 06:44 PM) The people? You mean greg? There were 2 or 3 people.

I don't really care if Ozzie believes it or not (I think he does) but I'm tired of hearing dumbass comments like this.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:41 PM) Mariano Rivera has allowed 17 H+BB in 27.1 IP this season (0.622 WHIP) oddly enough that is not the best in baseball and by a pretty wide margin. Luke Gregerson of the Padres has allowed 20 H+BB in 38.1 IP (0.522 WHIP). The all time record for a reliever in a 70+ IP season is Dennis Eckersley with a 0.614 in 1990. lol @ the people who thought Jenks should be on the All-Star team

I'm thinking Kenny already learned his lesson... Ozzie will never be anybody's GM

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

This is almost cruel.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) I just wish he would go up there with some kind of approach when there are men in scoring position. Does swinging at anything within 6 inches of the strike zone count as an approach?

I really missed Quentin... the real Quentin, not the Luis Terrero wannabe

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Ozzie does seem to want to stick with his original roster guys. I reckon it's more like Kotsay is a lefty and playing the percentages though I really wish Ozzie played percentages, instead he just randomly picks r/l matchups and mocks numbers. My #1 pet peeve with him

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Yes. And f*** Chicago for not dumping the BP sponsorship.. but I guess it fits right in to accept dirty money in these parts. Pretty sure they didn't have much of a choice

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:57 AM) He probably doesn't say it if he isn't pretty darn sure that it's happening. And he has a reputation already, but don't you think it'll grow to redunkulous proportions by calling the biggest free agency move in NBA history? I guess you have a point. I'm just saying I thought his reputation was pretty solid already

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:40 AM) You kinda answered it yourself... I did? I was trying to say he doesn't really have anything to gain by saying that
