QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) So you believe the source *and* more importantly believe we can't possibly do something better than England? I believe we can do better than England. Hell, I believe we are the greatest nation on the planet and can do anything better than any other country if we try. But I'm a liberal, we're pretty crazy that way. No. Liberals hate America. You're not a true liberal.

And I don't want to hear about how someone in the temple should have been packing to return fire.

I hate humanity.

Keep this motherf***er around.

I thought it was really cool, then it wasn't.

That. Was. Nasty.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 01:04 PM) Not only them, but AJ and Beckham too. AJ might not leave but if it is just Peavy/Youk/Beckham, thats still a lot of holes in the rotation to fill How is Beckham leaving? It's his first arbitration year, right?

Brent Morel is pleased. Unless the Sox work out a deal with Youk.

I don't think Floyd is god-awful (he is certainly the most frustrating though, because he's either brilliant or cannon fodder), but I do think he can be shipped in a deal similar to Quentin's if Kenny goes after another righty. It's also worth noting there's a SMALL precedent. If the quartet of Peavy-Sale-Quintana-Liriano goes all '05 Postseason for us, I can see Kenny bringing them all back and then doing a big splash type move, such as the Thome and Vazquez moves combined for another ace. It'd be insane, but I could still see it happening.

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:29 PM) Starting pitcher still picking the uni? That's kind of cool if he did. I miss the black uniforms. Seriously, where are they? f*** these red power ranger ones. And also, Steve finally got his GT. And it's Quin-style.

Second time I saw it I had to do crocodile tears Also, I agree with the notion that Ledger's Joker > Hardy's Bane. Hell, Ledger's Joker > Any movie villain.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 12:33 AM) Yup and f*** Pujols for mouthing off to AJ. I'm letting someone else (STEVE?) start a game thread, but it was a good run Quin. 90% certain it'll be Steve. He'll make the next 10 at minimum. Edit: I was also at the game, if my anger is considered late.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 08:01 PM) If I witnessed something illegal/criminal involving a football coach, and I reported it, I'd have zero reason to believe that the university would fire me. This was not the case at Penn State. That is the definition of "Creating a culture of compliance". It permeates the school. Everyone knew who was in charge, and you didn't cross that guy at Penn State. That is not an issue of Spanier, Curley, Paterno, and the other guy whose name I've forgotten. That's not even just a board issue. That's an entire school issue. Two janitors caught Sandusky raping a kid in 2001. They discussed reporting it, and then realized...it would cost them their jobs. THey chose not to report it because they could not afford to lose their jobs. This is not just the janitors at fault. That is the definition of a failed culture of accountability. You can judge those janitors if you want...but that is not a decision they should ever have to make...between their family's lives and doing the right thing. Penn State defied federal law in order to maintain their lack of accountability in the football program, failing to meet compliance reporting steps. That isn't one guy doing that, that is not just the athletic department doing that, that is something permeating the administration. This.

Choose five. I'm going Sale, Quintana, Peavy, Liriano and an new RH (I'll take a shot in the dark and say E-Jax). I feel Sale and Quintana are the two locks. I think Peavy and the Sox come together on a deal in the $13M-$15M range for three years, plus his buy out. I think Liriano pitches fantastically down the stretch and Coop wants him to stick around. Then, I think Humber/Floyd/Danks are all gone via trade. Floyd in a Quentinesque dump. For some reason, I also feel some team would just take Danks + Humber for another Quentin type deal. Then I feel Coop would try to get E-Jax back as the right hander...him or McCarthy. I'd like a five of Sale-Peavy-Liriano-Jackson-Quintana. Four pitchers with nasty stuff and Buehrle Jr.

f*** Mike Trout. And the wind. Dunn's was GONE if the wind from RF hadn't blown it back in.

I tend to ignore them...excepg ince. They asked me if I believed in God (after asking for directions, like Reddy said earlier). I didn't think and said no. Then they started telling me I was an unclean sinner going to hell blah blah blah. Then I got on my knees and clasped my hands and dropped this on them: "I I know oh noble servant of Christ. Please, share thine Bible with me as it commands you to for I was lost but now I'm found after your threat of eternal damnation." No response. So I took an offensive. "Oh, no answer? You can't spread God's teachings but feel qualified to give His judgement, even though he kinda says in the Bible only he can judge, so guess you're joining me in Hell. Which you most likely base off Dante's Inferno. I'll be in the first circle of virtuous pagans while you get to chill with the Malebanche and roast like a motherf***er. And I just showered, so I'm clean and smell good as hell." Then walked away as they continued to berate me.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) Bad things happen when Bret Ratner is in charge Like writing out half the cast. But still, Cyclops always took a back seat to Wolverine in the movies, despite being the leader who Wolverine is supposed to butt heads with.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) I'm convinced J4L is right about you, Luc Longley could throw a Bulls jersey on and you would go on about how that was a savvy move to add a smart veteran that could nail the mid range jumper and also plays with his back to the basket. Don't play the "you guys aren't good fans" card just because we refuse to ignore the massive warts on this team. 15 games = 1/4 of the games. OH BOY THAT WAS SUCH A FUN 25 PERCENT! +1 Beverly sucks. And I've like the moves they've made and I still think their being cheap.

I'm cautious of Days of Future's Past. It's a great story...but the X-men movies all take extreme liberties with the property. And Dark Phoenix should have been worlds better. Also, with Wolverine, it becomes Wolverine feat. Some Mutants.

Yeah, that ump is a b****.

LINEUPS TO BE ANNOUNCED, BUT MOST LIKELY ALEJANDRO DE AZA - CF KEVIN "HAHA VALENTINE" YOUKILIS - 3B ADAM "THREE WAY" DUNN - DH That nickname is totally a reference to how he has three outcomes, nothing perverted. Perverts. PAUL "2005 ALCS MVP" KONERKO - 1B ALEX RIOS - RF AJ PIERZYNSKI - C Angels fans love AJ more after last night. DAYAN "THE TANK" VICIEDO - LF Dayan is friend to all. ALEXEI "THE CUBAN MISSILE" RAMIREZ - SS GORDON "BACON SLAYER" BECKHAM - 2B

Play this, then start reading while it goes. Last time we saw our heroes, they defeated Mr. "I Don't Like Pitching at the Cell" in Greinke. The Sox angered the Angels with another questionable call at first followed by a tight game at 6-6. Then Alex Rios happened. And all was right on the South Side as the Sox walked off into the night. So, let's get to today's matchup. In this corner... G-Floyd 8-9, 4.28 ERA for Floyd, who has been performing great since his return from the DL with a record of 2-1 and ERA of 1.33. VS. Ervin Santana 5-10, 5.97 ERA. Fun fact: He is the other Ervin in LA who goes by "Magic". Difference being this one sucks. This would be like Boozer going by "The Big Hurt" SOX LAUNCHED FIREWORKS INTO THE SKY AS RIOS HAS HAD A COMEBACK YEAR FOR THE AGES. SHALL THEY CONTINUE WITH THEIR WINNING WAYS? AND DEFEAT THE TEAM THAT (as pointed out by Kyyle) TRANSLATES TO THE THE ANGELS ANGELS. THEN BASK IN THE GLORY OF SEXY, LEAD BOOSTING VICTORY? YES. BECAUSE f*** ALL THE HATERS. THIS. IS. WHITE SOX. BASEBALL. AND NOW, FOR YOUR CHICAGO WHITE SOX.

This made me laugh and is something I feel is relevant to this thread.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) You've had some tough things happen to you and your family. Hopefully the next 4/5s of your life will be dandy compared to some of the problems you've had in the first 1/5th. Yeah, I haven't had a hard life (my dad makes really good money as a self employed lawyer, my grandma was wealthy from her dad), it's been a painful one. Dad getting death threats my freshman year of high school (in the name of God no less, and it led to the school placing an administrator to shadow me, unknown to me), a family friend committed suicide after my dad showed up to her house to break her garage window (she tried to suffocate by running the car in the garage...left a voicemail on my dad's phone, my dad breaks the garage window, she shot herself), dad getting cancer (though it was very brief, it's gone now), grandmother getting ALS. Sadly, that's just the half of it. Also being like, the sole Jewish kid meant no one else was at my temple services and I got left out of a lot because everyone else had friends from Church. I had my best friend though, so by around high school I started having more close friends. Why do you think no one guesses my age on the board the first time? Because I had to grow up fast. But yeah, not a lot to make me believe in a God. And you know what, if I'm wrong and there's a heaven after this life, I'll look St. Peter in the eye and be like "well, s***. I was wrong."
