QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) Now this is blasphemy. Paulie is part of the reason we have a World Title Flag, I will never boo any of the boys that brought us 2005, even the joker who manages our team. I'm not saying I condoned it, but saying if Paul Konerko - heroics and all - can go into June last year hovering around .200 (2nd straight year of subpar play), draw boos, and handle it like a professional athlete, surely Wise, who is basically a nobody to this franchise and fanbase, can handle it too. And for all of the people throwing out the Brian Anderson strawman - if he was batting below .200 and striking out in 1/3 of his at-bats, he would get booed too. It doesn't matter who you are. If you suck long enough on any team, in any sport, in any city, fans will lose their patience with you.

QUOTE (SI1020 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) I don't really believe people come to this forum to learn, but rather to flame each other. You don't post here enough to make sweeping generalizations like that.

I forget how that happened. Didn't Congress go around Jackson to set up the charter? Or did it happen after he was out of office? And yeah... boom and bust cycles happen. With or without the Fed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Because the world didn't have boom or bust cycles before the National Bank was set up by Jackson? I must be reading this wrong, Jackson hated the idea of a national bank. Actually to the point he kinda single-handedly caused an economic crisis.

BA has sucked and been booed before. s*** Paul f'n Konerko got booed last year. Nut up.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 04:48 AM) Why don't all you idiots that love obssessing over how bad Wise is get it through your thick skulls that it's not his fault he's playing CF for the White Sox...it's KW and Ozzie's fault. If KW offered any of you scrubs half a million to go play 3rd base right now even though you guys suck to high heavens,how many of you would turn it down?Not many if any at all I bet...Wise is not very talented,we get that,but I don't boo White Sox players when they are trying their best,it's the organization's fault for not putting quality players out there. One more thing,this whole team is crappy,stop pretending it's only Wise fault we stink up the joint. BA is a dud,only thing he's got going for him is his glove because he looks lost at the plate. Hey, why don't you call people more names when you disagree with them? Oh, and this has been said several times in this thread already but watch the video, where he specifically addresses blaming KW and Ozzie. That's ok though I guess... we'll boo KW and Ozzie next time they have an at-bat or take the field. Oh, wait.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:59 PM) It's a joke, since Crede hit a walkoff slam against Lyon this year. I'm not a Crede fan, and was just baiting the crowd. lol, sorry. I have a defense mechanism that kicks in when I see that now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Dye with a great pitch to hit, and fouls off the hanger. Crede would have hit it out. Please stop

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:48 PM) Maybe the Sox will announce something tomorrow? Maybe moved from the 15 to the 60 Day DL? The 15-day DL doesn't necessarily mean 15 days. It can be longer.

Eh free speech means nothing in this case. Certainly he is free to say whatever he wants. But if people have a problem or want to call him out for what he said (which I am not doing, btw) then he is not at all protected from that. It comes with the territory. In fact, if Fox decided they wanted to fire him tomorrow (not saying they will because that would be f***ing dumb) and citing that as their reason, then they can.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) Touche. You got me there. But if Thornton comes in and gives up a hit, other side is saying we should of put Curtis on. Naw I think we all have enough confidence in Thornton to put that on him if he doesn't get that out.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:08 PM) Why was Brian Anderson playing in left-center? Cuz he thought Polanco was going to pull it into the gap, probably?

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:06 PM) Loaded for Polanco. I don't like this. sigh... yeah

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) AJ being AJ? According to Gameday he's already seen 3 pitches... that's astronomical.

There's probably legit medical reasons to do late-term abortions... but it had better be damn good. Not a reason like "I'm not ready to have this baby now." No, that is a decision you make and act on as soon as you find out you're pregnant, if you must... after about the first trimester, the window closes IMO.

Well, in fairness to O'Reilly, late-term abortion pretty much IS killing a baby (look up how it's done, it makes my stomach turn). I might be confusing it with partial-birth abortion, but pretty much the same concept.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:47 AM) After a sighting of the Bronze Titan, Buehrle needs to come out and put the clamps on the Tigers again. Since everyone else has said it and it hasnt worked, Im going to say it now: If Beckham plays today, he gets his first hit. And I firmly believe once that first hit is under his belt, he is going to take off. I'm late, but good call.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) I hope Ozzie realizes these guys are his future. As in, his job security is more or less directly tied to how these guys perform. Yes indeed.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:03 AM) I don't see any issue with anything Josh said. He's right. He was bad, but had improved noticeably, then got replaced while he was improving. The promotion of Beckham was done at the wrong time, for both Josh/Gordon AND for the team, I agree with Josh on that. I honestly think people's vitriol on here, about him being a mental midget (which looks to me to be far from the truth), and all that ridiculousness, is mostly due to his error yesterday potentially costing the game. Fields' fielding has indeed been a disappointment, no one could say otherwise. But the presence of Beckham on the team will only make Beckham, Fields and Getz WORSE in the short run. Now that he's here, I hope KW has the sense to make another move to let 2 of those 3 guys know who really has a starting job. Otherwise, this little experiment will continue to be a disaster. He IS right, it's just... time and place. He shouldn't be saying anything right now.

Wow, I didn't realize until just now that Daisuke's ERA is over 7

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) Poor AJ.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) At first I thought this thread was made because Pods joined the whine club with Fields and Wise. Yeah I thought it was a new thread too, I'm glad I remembered I chose not to participate in this thread, lol

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) This thread needs more fat jokes...then I would really laugh....more fat jokes cause it never gets old,ever. Its so original. sorta like dick and fart jokes. (Ironically, my Facebook status is about dick and fart jokes)

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) Haha, what was he supposed to say? Other than nothing, which is the correct answer, but this is purely rhetorical Basically, just about anything besides basically calling the entire fanbase fairweather fans when you have a .150 batting average and you were playing like s*** even before your injury. About the only thing worse than that would've been a revelation he was a child molester. It's like he WANTS the fans to hate him now.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) first fields now wise. so many whiny b****es on this club. Seriously. Anyone thinking the Sox could get some big sponsorship bucks out of Vagisil?
