QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 09:34 AM) Kind of like "change"? Yes, but worse. There is no tradition of "change" in this country but there is a tradition of "freedom" and everyone knew what it meant until about 2003. Now the word makes me cringe.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) ROFLMAO remains my favorite piece of internet lingo. I try to use it in everyday i speech. ROFLTEUVADIAPOP Rolling on the floor laughing that I end up vomiting and drowning in a puddle of puke

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) You've nailed a few babes, eh? Well obviously.

Yeah, I am a tool.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) You know what would make me happy? Going to the Metrodome and not hearing the embarrassing comments which come out of Hawk and Soxtalk concerning the stadium. It's f***ing pathetic listening to people blaming everything on a the dome. And it irritates me watching games because our players become little women there. They believe the stories of vengeful baseball gods living in the bowels of the HHH dome, and as such, consider no lead safe and every misplay or opportunity wasted as a "here we go again" moment. For the record, I get the feeling Soxtalk is just as disgusted by what you're complaining about here.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) Dye has been turning singles into doubles and doubles into triples for several seasons now. He looks awkward going to either his right or left, has absolutely no makeup speed, and even his arm has deteriorated to some girly side arm throwing style. I know people talk about him as a future DH, but if he is, I don't believe we'll retain him over Thome. Not with Thome still producing at an acceptable rate, and within reach of #600. If he continues doing what he has done with the White Sox, it's not unreasonable that he'd hit #600 by September of next season. After then we'll cut him. You mean doubles into singles and triples into doubles?

I didn't think anyone could make Michele Bachmann look reasonable and sane, but Taitz has managed to do that. The woman just comes across as straight up imbalanced.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) Exactly, the Palin phenomenon is so much bigger than one person and is universal. You can participate by thread jacking! See how open Palin 2012 is?! It is an amazing paradox, it's not just about Palin, but it's all in her name! It's cosmic man. A beautiful thing. So what you're saying is that Sarah Palin is actually Orly Taitz? (every time I see that name I think "Oily Tits")

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) The questions in that handout FreedomWorks® are all along the lines of "when did you stop beating your wife?" I never thought I'd hate the word "freedom" so much, but it's a corrupted, meaningless word ever since it got hijacked and used as propaganda.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:49 PM) For real. I was expecting her to be smacking bubble gum and wearing giant hoop earrings. lol. I thought I was the only one. She doesn't even have a New York accent. I was actually a little disappointed to be honest.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:09 PM) moran has it on point: http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/dem-re...2009-08-06.html "Moran contended that the protesters had little credibility in that “they are being financed by the industry that makes billions of dollars off the current system so that they can pay millions of dollars to lobbyists so those lobbyists can generate a handful of people who will do their bidding out of ignorance, anger or whatever.” The protesters feel like they have a right to shout down town hall meetings, and they do, but someone needs to tell them they look and sound like screaming f***ing idiots and their overall contribution to the dialogue is less than worthless.

Is it just me or did coverage of Sotomayor being Latina and the constant mentioning of the fact that she grew up in South Bronx projects make it seem like she would sound like Rosie Perez or something? For some reason I expected that the first time I heard her talk but she sounded like any boring legal scholar.

I hijacked this thread a few days ago, it's not about Palin anymore.

QUOTE (Cochise @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 03:44 PM) Santana has thrown 18 pitches in the last 2 innings. 6 up 6 down. I hate this team. At least this game is bringing us back to earth. A team that plays defense as poorly as we do does not do well in the playoffs. This is an example of what a horrible post looks like.

QUOTE (DanksFan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) If there is one thing I really hate, it's inconsistent umpires. You're f***ing paid to be consistent, on top of your game. For f***ing f*** sake. Hawk? You post on Soxtalk?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) I believe John Danks and his famously poor bladder will let their performances speak for themselves. Ok so this approach didn't work. Mental note made.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) I want a pledge from everyone on Soxtalk -- dont make any excuses if we cant score less than five runs off of Santana. He's terrible. Please, just avoid it. QUOTE (DanksFan @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) I love how this ump won't call the corner strike for Danks. Santana gets them but Danks doesn't. It always seems like there's that dumb ass umpire that favors a righties pitches over a lefties or vice versa. ... just saying

Stop walking guys Danks.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) Beckham's August line: .467/.467/.933/1.400 Why haven't they just declared him MVP, GG and Cy Young winner yet? Duh he hasn't pitched yet. He's been too busy finding homes for orphans in his spare time to work on pitching. Not that he needs to, he just doesn't want anyone thinking he's a slacker.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Did you throw any perfect games? I did with Danks in 2K7 once.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:44 PM) White Sox, 26th in MLB Fielding Percentage at .980. 3rd in total errors committed (leading the entire American League), with 82, trailing only: 1. Washington Nationals, 98 2. Arizona Diamondbacks, 88 Besides moving Dye to DH, where can we get improvement in this area? Signing a leadoff hitter who can play CF at a high level? Keeping Beckham at 3B, Ramirez at SS and Nix/Getz at 2B? Or moving Beckham to 2B, leaving Ramirez at SS with Nix and/or Getz traded and a veteran 3B brought in (along the lines of Herbert Perry in 2000)? Are we sure we wouldn't be better off with Nix playing more against RHP than he has been, because of the clear advantage he provides defensively over Getz? How much can Getz improve defensively? Finally, with Fields and Viciedo defensively-challenged, dare we come into the season with either one of those players pencilled in as the starter in 2010, if they did make the internal decision to move Gordon over to second? lol, dude you're funny... totally out of the blue, again.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) First off, that is hilarious. Second, I was at that game, too. It was great. lol. It's funny that I read that because I mentioned something like that to my wife this morning, on South Park they had Cartman going "I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive."

I wasn't on this board for the Vazquez trade, what was the reaction like?

Zawahiri is offering a truce if American troops leave the Muslim world. lmao, go f*** yourself Zawahiri.
