QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) Krush/J4L. If you want to discuss your personal stuff, do it over PM's. This isn't the place for it. As a whole though, the purpose of this thread is to offer a reminder that while we as mods/admins aren't quick with our ax, the site still has rules that you agree to when you sign-up. And those rules, to be frank, are very basic in nature and in essence go back to the golden rule. Treat others with respect. If you do that, then you will be fine. There is nothing wrong with a healthy debate and sometimes things will be said, but its how you handle the debates that matter. If after a debate, you can look at that poster and realize that there is nothing personal involved, it is just two very passionate sports fans debating a topic, well then you've handled yourself appropriately. If you remember that, and most of the people here behave that way 95% of the time, then there is nothing wrong. The key is to remember the 5% of the time you don't, and move away from that. We aren't talking about banning the whole site, we are asking that you treat people with respect. Be cognizant of what you post and one well written post > 15 one liner posts. That isn't to say there isn't value to a one line post. Sometimes there is a purpose to it, but if it is just to say, you suck or idiot, well, don't make the post. For the post to be "stupid" it doesn't need your response, people will read it and figure it out and the lack of responses will push it down to the end of the board to never be seen/heard from again. One thing that I do have a problem with is if a person has an agenda or if they are a troll and it is important to realize you can be a White Sox fan and still be considered a troll. If your soul purpose of posting is to make a rise out of people, that is being a troll. 99% of you don't do that, but there are some on this board, who have gotten away with being a troll for far too long and I'll be frank, either cut it out or you'll be finding another place to post. And for those of you that fit in that category, you will be warned (and you will receive a notice from the mods/admins). No one in this category (like 2 or 3 posters) can say that they won't get an opportunity to prove themselves. Can someone stop hacking Jason?

Do they also boycott shaved people?

Do they also boycott shaved people?

Sale, Cain, Weaver McCutcheon, Hamilton, Kemp

Yeah, I don't eat there.

I'm just gonna go the way of Qwerty

One thing that will help GotG is that supposedly Thor will be in it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:39 PM) f*** the Marlins. They were never significant to begin with. Question is are the Nationals that good? How would they far against top AL teams. How did they get this good? By not having Ozzie But seriously, they got this good because of sucking and getting Strasburg and Harper. Then pulling off a great trade for Gio. Fleecing the Twins for Ramos (though he hasn't been playing this year, still a good deal). Having Zimmerman and Zimmermann. Drafting Storen. Signing E-Jax. Now obviously they lucked into two of the most talented draft picks of all time, but some good moves by that f***er Rizzo.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) There's just something about the potential of a broomstick getting shoved up my ass that takes the fun out of it. Even if it's by accident. I'm gonna have to agree that while frightening, that has never happened.

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Yep, nerds sound about right. Yeah, but its that the fact that they're athletic nerds who played all types of sports in high school gets overlooked. I've had somewhere around 20 people come to one practice and leave because they think it'll be whimsical and a Harry Potter fan club. Then they realize we really don't talk about Harry Potter, get tackled, and it takes athletic ability.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) How can you not love this guy? You tell me one other sports manager/coach who talks as candidly as this guy? I'd love to hear his take on Rios' improvement. It would be a doozy I'm sure. I'll respond in a manner you'll understand. BECAUSE HE'S NOT f***ING LOVABLE WHEN NOT WINNING AND TALKING s***. TALK s*** WHEN YOU'RE WINNING. NO, 2005 DOES NOT COUNT AS WINNING IN TWO THOUSAND GODDAMN TWELVE THEY DON'T TALK AS CANDIDLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE CLASS. ALSO, OTHER PEOPLE KNOW WHEN TO SHUT THE f*** UP. OZZIE DOESN'T. HE WON'T CAUSE RIOS IS HIS FRIEND APPARENTLY. REMEMBER BOBBY? HE s*** ALL OVER BOBBY WHEN HE LEFT. BOBBY SAID NOTHING. OZZIE IS A PIECE OF s*** MANAGER WHEN HE'S NOT INTO IT. HE'S NOT INTO IT. HE'S GETTING DRUNK AND PLAYING DOMINOES. HE HASN'T HAD A NOTEWORTHY SEASON SINCE TWO THOUSAND f***ING FIVE. THAT WAS SEVEN GODDAMN YEARS AGO. DESPITE HAVING LOADED TEAMS IN 2006 AND 2011 HE UNPERFORMED. MASSIVELY. THE 2010 TEAM WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF NOT FOR THE STUPID ROTATING DH s***. 2008 COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IF HE DIDN'T HATE SOME PLAYERS. HE FAILED. HE DIDN'T PERFORM. NEITHER DID THE PLAYERS. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE MR. CANDID LOUDMOUTH JACKASS ON THEM ALL DAY. IF I TYPED LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, COULD YOU TAKE IT? There, I combined your unique haiku-posting style with Ozzie's yelling and swearing.

I just want to point out you can't bleed White Sox red. White Sox black or white? Different story.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) Regardless of how I may feel about the sport, it was a great article. And Im sure people thought other sports were silly when they started, think basketball and throwing a ball into a peach basket. And intially you couldn't move with the ball. What shocked me is the fact that Kissimmee, FL's local economy is projected to gain $7M off this years world cup

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 12:15 PM) I just don't see it being fun, it looks incredibly stupid. Holding a broomstick between your legs? OK. I guess if you're a huge Harry Potter fan, you'll do anything to be "part" of it. I'm honestly not too big a Hary Potter fan. I read and loved the books, but that was years ago and I stopped watching the movies after the second. The broom made no sense to me at first either, I was dragged along by a friend. It was awkward as hell at first, but now I don't notice it. It is a good handicap though, or you could just run holding it with two hands at full speed. Once you get past running with the brooms (it takes a while) it's incredibly fun. However, it is fun when passer bys mock us at practice and then decide they'll jump in for a minute to show us how great an athlete they are. Then me or another of our players levels them with a tackle.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 11:17 AM) I think KW would be considered a master thief if all of this happened

Start learning catcher and OF Brent.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) Hernandez profiles a lot like Quintana. So what deity/mythical creature do we roll with this time?

"To be honest, whatever people say about me and the White Sox, I am a true White Sox," Guillen said in his first professional return to Chicago since his exit two games before the end of last season. "Put it this way, 21 years with the same organization. Nobody can say (expletive) about me in the White Sox organization. Nobody. I am a true White Sox. I spent more years in the White Sox than anybody out there. The White Sox will always be in my heart." Kenny: 3 years as a player, 20 years working in the organization. 23 years. Coop: Organization since '88. 22 years. Baines: 14 years as a player, 8 as a coach. 22 years. Ozzie, recheck your math. "First of all, they're my friends," he said. "Rios is my dear friend. I cannot say anything about Rios because I knew him before he came to the White Sox. With Dunn, if there's one player I have more respect for in the game than (Jim) Thome, Konerko, I think Dunner is." Pretty sure he hated "Dunner" "Wait a minute," he said. "(Expletive) Chicago media. That's why people talk bad about Chicago media. How about Mark Buehrle? He's a nice guy, so no one say nothing about him, huh? All right, Mark Buehrle left Chicago in mourning, but you don't say anything about him. That (bleep) don't sell." That's right Ozzie, Mark Buehrle left the same way. "(Former Sox manager) Jerry Manuel, if he was here, not any of you guys would be here," he said. "Ozzie Guillen is here, look at you (expletive) guys making a line." Let's throw Manuel under the bus while we're at it. http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/id/...-sox-better-him

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) Really, really great to see Humber pitch 6 innings and only give up 2 runs against a decent offense. This. Maybe the injury was really bugging him. And Suck it Bobby V!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 01:04 PM) Chicago - the 2011-2012 home of the sports injury I think Herm was traded for the Bulls staff.

Humber throws another perfect game. Then sucks again. Just to f*** with us.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 11:19 AM) http://www.suntimes.com/sports/cowley/1379...-scores-to.html Just admit it: You miss Ozzie Guillen. Then again, denial is the first stage of grief. The first line: We know you do Joe, we know you do. Second line: Joe's in denial because he know's he'll be out a job soon.

RZZZA has almost 800 posts in almost a month. Damn.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 07:54 AM) Wow. That sounds like a terrible movie. Really wish they did something more interesting and relevant like Black Panther or Namor Apparently the script is fantastic, which is why it got greenlit.
