QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) What if he did something like Paterno, won a national championship, but protected or excused Sandusky? Would you take down his statue? What would Ozzie have to do that you would consider indefensible or not part of his acceptable "entertaining Ozzie persona"? Um, Caulfield, I'm gonna stand up for Greg here. Idolizing Ozzie is one thing. Protecting him like the Penn State Paternites is different.

The Miami Marlins thread
QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 05:50 PM) Why can't we see that? Because we're not buffoons. It's because this is the Greg school of arguing: 1) Feign ignorance and ask a question that he knows the answer to. 2) Wait for a large argument to be placed. 3) Cherry pick one point, repeat same argument. 4) Deny stuff. That being said Greg, these forums would be less interesting without you.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) I'll take a vote. Do you all really want me to go thru that long, well thought out post point by point and re-but? I will if you want that. I dont think people want me to do that. I love hawk, but he is going to make the current guy look good, which is fine. I like Ventura as well. Ugh. This argument confounds me. My god. they bring in a closer for a gadzillion dollars; you have to pitch the guy in the closer's rule. It's the closer trashing their season, not ozzie. Now I guess it's to the point he's going to have to do something; Oz has indicated that, but he STILL doesn't want to replace Bell. My guess is Bell will start the second half as the closer, as he should. See what happens. Or closer by committee, but you got to go with the high paid acquisition; why can't u guys see that?? It's called a TEAM; gm acquires players; you play them. Now the closer can be kept out of a game or two, but until the GM disposes of him, he's the high paid guy who plays. This is sports; this is life. Your argument confounds me. The Giants sure as hell didn't rely on Zito.

Club Level Seating @ The Cell
QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) My Mother is a huge Sox fan and I want to take her to Elvis night, Aug 3rd vs. the Angels. I see where I can snag some Club Level (Sec 318) seats for about $75 per ticket. My question is, have any of you sat in the Club Level recently, and if so what are the pros/cons?? They have their own vendors? They have an AC bar or restaurant? Their own bathrooms? How's the view? Any input is much appreciated!! When I was there the food was good and the view is the best in the park.

Favorite Potato Chips
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) Pringles version are better imo. I'm not a fan of Pringles flavored chips. I love the original Pringles, but the powder on the flavored ones are just...blech. Also, add Jimmy Johns BBQ chips to my list.

2012-2013 NBA thread
Noah looks like a steal contract after this offseason. Also, I'd take Ellington and a second for Korver. I'd rather have Korver, but I really like Ellington out of college. Maybe going from the environment of the TWolves to the Bulls could help him. Also, I miss being able to like Jesus Shuttlesworth. Ray was one of my favorite non-Bulls.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) I think there are rules against attacking people. Domino Drunky is kind of mean. Your attack takes away from your well thought out arguments. Translation: You have defeated me, but I'm going to ignore it.- Story about Dunn and his child
QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) Wasn't there a former Bear player who died recently having a seizure while driving? No idea. I'm just saying, you can get f***ed up even if you're not in a vehicle.- Catch-All Anything Thread

Edit: For example, when I came to, my hand was red, my contacts had popped out from impact, and the ER thought my spine might be broken. I wasn't driving. I was outside.- Will the Royals ever be good?
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 10, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) Oh, OK. I get it now. KU fans shouted s*** at a Quidditch match? Geez. Yeah, it was ridiculous. I love their team though. One was a guest on my podcast. Another brought me water after we thought I had a concussion at the Midwest Cup.- The Miami Marlins thread
QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 12:26 AM) Can't sneak anything by you. FUN FACT OF THE DAY: At the All-Star break, Dunn, Konerko, Pierzynski, Rios, and Viciedo have combined to hit more home runs than the entire Miami Marlins team. Oh, and just to further prove that Ozzie is a brilliant manager and not some idiot who is the constant force behind all of his teams underachieving, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT THE MARLINS RECORD IS 41-44 BUT THEIR PYTHAGOREAN W-L IS 37-48? OZZIE THATS WHO The most hilarious piece of all of this is that the Marlins are in the first year of their new stadium, and they are 12th out of the 16 NL teams in attendance. and just so I can sneak one in...Ozzie is a terrible manager who should quit at the end of this year because of how ridiculously poorly he has managed that club. If you gave that team to about 29 different active managers and 10-15 retired managers, they'd be over .500. Hell, they may as well name Joey Cora the manager because it seems like he's doing all the work anyways. VIVA LA OZZIE!- Offical Soxtalk All-Star festivities thread
