If we had more than 2 political parties, there would probably be an honest-to-god socialist party. The reason there's not is because of the legacy stigma attached to the word. Most of the people who I hear shouting it out (this doesn't include most posters on this board, obviously) really don't have a clue what it means, they just know/think it's bad.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 09:35 AM) I remember back before that draft, my friend and I were co-hosting a sports talk radio show on our college radio station and were begging the Bers to take Leftwich. They didnt. Took Grossman... neither player panned out. oh well. Yeah, for different reasons though. I don't think Leftwich's actual production has ever really been in question, it's whether he could stay on the field long enough for it to matter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) For those who wanted VDN run out of town after, I don't know, 20 games or so. What's your opinion of him now? What coach, and please don't say Mike D'Antoni, could've done more with this team than VDN has? And don't give me the ",Well, I just don't think VDN can lead us to a championship" or "I think we just need a more experienced head coach," fluff. When you consider what a disaster last season was, how imbalanced the roster was/is, the injuries, ect - what's your opinion of the job he's done for THIS season? I never was on the "FIRE VDN" bandwagon nor was I one of the ones calling for Pax's head when he was signed, but I still think there were better options out there at the time. Then again, I didn't really expect to contend either, although I don't really think much of a 7-8 seed as an accomplishment. This will probably all be irrelevant next year.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 09:33 AM) Is it wrong to punch someone in the lower spine for not walking up the train station escalator during rush hour? No

This just looks so odd to me:

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) The next problem comes Saturday when the Twins start left-hander Francisco Liriano. Getz bats left-handed, and Brian Anderson will start in center field in place of Wise. "I might lead off Josh Fields," Guillen said. "Josh Fields is not a typical leadoff guy, but he will get on base and will give you good at-bats." tribune.com/sports I'm fine with that.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 03:53 PM) When you go to San Fran you should check out Fort Worth.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) This will be the 4th year where Brian Anderson will not get consistent AB's.......anyone think of that. He has not gotten a regular set of AB's since 2005. I believe the White Sox totally f***ed up any chance of him making it as a an MLB player. Pathetic that Wise is still in there, s*** play lillibridge. 3 and 2006*

lol! Seriously? He is literally being Joseph McCarthy.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) a - ok lostfan, how is the title incorrect. does he NOT defend it? does he (or his admin) NOT want to expand it? i've yet to figure out who that's wrong. yes it's simplified, but nonetheless accurate. That wasn't why I said that although I don't really know where you got the "expand" part from since all the DoJ did was dismiss another case. I was saying that it seemed clear to me he didn't read the article.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) I love Quentin, and I love this team. But something has to be done with all these cloggers in a row. Quentin is not a clogger, I'm not sure why people lump him in with Thome-Dye-Konerko-AJ.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) OK so lets hear that chorus of boos then...where is it? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Now please for the love of god stop whining

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Our pitching especially our relief has been awesome so far. Word

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) Go sign up Byron Leftwich as backup. ^^ I heart Leftwich

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) This is disgusting to watch. This may be the worst offense display in three games that I have seen from a Sox team in quite some time. Toronto last year maybe

Is it just me or does it seem like MLB loses pitchers at a rate of about one per year, for various reasons?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) I will drive after 2 beers or 1 other. Nothing beyond that, and I'll always have a water before I go too. Never again will I drive when intoxicated in the least. If I have more than 2 beers I always have about an hour buffer before I drive. I don't like taking chances.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) If Getz had not lucked out and actually did hit into the double play, would the crowd be booing? Please just stop

Yes, very timely DP there.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) Oxygen intake, they both blink... Both carbon and water-based life forms

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Wise swings and misses. Hawk says it was his best swing of the season...yikes. Ground out. It probably really was, too.

I still think Wise sucks and I'm still a major critic, but I feel much better about it now.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) Wow, that didn't take long. The only question now is why Anderson isn't in the lineup. AJ in the two-hole worked surprisingly well last year. I'd rather have Alexei there, but I can't say that I'm upset about it. Eh, I'd rather AJ not be there, but nobody on the team is really much better. I'd rather give Alexei more at-bats, but it's not like we're talking about a significant difference. Besides, Alexei kind of sucks right now.

Well that didn't take too long.

Which you still have yet to lecture us on
