QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) He does look awkward in there (like he always does, but he also kind of hits like Moises Alou). He did have a walk and almost a base hit in that game on Sunday though. His flyout was hit harder than probably half of the players on either team hit that day. It was sad.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) iPhone 4 has been pre-ordered. There must have been a million people pre-ordering this morning, as it took me more than an hour just to get my order in. Site kept timing out. I'm expecting the AAPL shares to peak about 10 days after it gets released and then I'm going to sell.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) Because it *IS* "AMNESTY". They came here knowingly breaking the law and CHOSE to do it anyway. Now, they get off like they didn't ever break our laws. Here's a suggestion. They all need to have crimanal documentation on their records when they get granted their citizenship by Barackus the Great. But you know that won't happen. Then, when they get their background checks, employers can decide if they want to "overlook" the little issue on their record That's not the same thing as amnesty. You want to get rid of them all and make them start over if they want to come back? Ok, fine. Valid point. Now how in the f*** are you going to do that?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) the majority of people in the country support the much maligned AZ law (according to this CBS News/New York Times poll). the poll also shows most people support 'make them leave' or 'only can stay as guest workers'. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20004030-503544.html That's why I highlighted "or go back home" Sending them all back is impossible (not impractical) but voters aren't really that bright and generally don't understand anything that takes more than about 2 sentences to explain and can't be bothered with it (I'm serious).

It's the Pirates (seriously, it's the Pirates) but a win is a win.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Oh, the ironies of this post with a t w I S T of two years ago. The difference is, this guy is blowing it hard core and is still loved by the masses. The part you all want to gloss over is HE KNEW how bad this was day 3 - that's when all the offers of help started pouring in. What was he doing on day three? Flying on AFOne b****ing about AZ immigration and bashing Republicans for taking in part of the violence tendencies that this law was introducing. Negligence, baby. Barack Obama is 100% negligent. Period-io. Yeah, no, not really, when's the last time you've heard actual left-wingers talk? I mean, given general election in 2012 against a Republican (name one) they will probably still vote for him, but loved by the masses? Come on now. That hasn't been true for probably a year.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 11:26 AM) It's a seperate offense: Title 8 Section 1325 I'd like them to pay their share or go back home. It being difficult to do isn't a justification for illegal activity. I agree that in the grand scheme of things, cutting in line as you put it isn't THAT big of a deal. The problem is what they do when they get here, which is accept the benefits of being a US citizen without paying their share of the cost. Without looking at polls I would assume most people are actually ok with this line of thinking. Paying a fine is acknowledgement that you broke the law and it's a punishment. But when that actually gets put into a bill it gets called "amnesty" by the screaming morons who make it to TV.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) And whose bright idea was it to dump Pods after having a career year? He's batting .282 right now with 18 stolen bases. We've been over this ad nauseam... KW did try to bring Pods back but he wanted multiple years at something like 7 million per

On the surface at least it looks like good news for the Afghanis because they've had nothing but terrible luck since 1979 (actually before that) and right now that country contributes nothing positive to the world, nothing at all.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:59 AM) Amen to that. What the hell were those two 3's he shot at the end there.. they were better off trying to take a real shot than watching Kobe try to do a 360 contorting three that wasn't anywhere close to going in.. And why does everyone hate Rondo? Hes awesome.. Last year's playoff series vs. the Bulls when he was playing dirty

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Anderson never really agreed to change anything in his approach, until it was way too late. Fields is a bit harder to explain, but "slider speed" bat is part of it. His defensive woes didn't help matters much, but it seems he could have been at least an average LF or DH offensively based on 2007. Then again, hopefully we're not saying the same thing about Beckham 2-3 years from now. That would be too painful. Anderson would do it in practice, and seem to get it, then in games would go back to whatever he was doing before.

Watching Beckham bat makes my head hurt.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) Other than greg, he never had any supporters. It just gave people something else to complain about when there was already plenty wrong with the team that was much, much more relevant than not having Scott f***in' Podsednik. Are you in the official Chicago White Sox group on facebook? If you had been reading the comments throughout April and May you'd see people saying the same thing over and over... then someone like me and a few others would have to state reality, like about how the Sox ACTUALLY DID TRY to bring him back, the contract demands, the fact that he was on a ridiculous hot streak at that time, etc.

Obviously as a Sox fan I don't want it to happen, but I won't really be mad if Strasburg dominates the Sox... say, he breaks the single-game strikeout record, or no-hits them, something like that. Call it lowered expectations or what have you.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:59 PM) I would of assumed the Lakers have more bandwagon fans. They both do and when I look at my Facebook news feed it's hard to tell who's more annoying. I haven't watched a single game this series and I've only looked at box scores at the end. I have zero interest in it. I said earlier it was like watching the Yankees win the World Series... might as well go to the casino and root for the house.

I really can't stand Boston, and all the bandwagon fans they have from other cities in my news feed that I wasn't even aware watched the NBA, but anything to help me strike down the myth of Kobe Bryant's immortality among his obnoxious fanboys, I'll take.

lol at this post. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=2175454

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) I just completely disagree with that line of thinking. I really do. I agree with Greg. Stop the presses. lol.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) You know what, I was hoping we'd no-hit. Why not draw national attention to our woes while also embarrassing the team? If it meant Williams was one minute closer to breaking apart this filth and ending the super-fan talk around here of winning through June on a .700 clip I was all for it. It's already embarrassing enough.

If we lose, we lose in peace.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Reason I disagree is cause then the Cubs fans would have to actually acknowledge they're playing baseball this season. Every Cubs fan I know acts like they're not even following the team this season. Operative word highlighted. These are Cubs fans.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) Kotsay on deck. s***'s getting even worse. Kotsay is decent if he's used as a PH.

What'd Gordon do? I came downstairs to type on the computer... s***.
