What you suggested doesn't make much sense. How would switching schedules have any effect on the issue? Why should any Chicago Public High School student listen to you when rappers and professional sports figures are making millions? Beastly, its rather simple to explain: some students/teachers don't care about their education. Repeating guidance counselor rhetoric and spouting inspirational ideas won't do s*** if no one is willing to listen.

I knew when the 1st base umpire called the grounder 'foul' it would cost the Sox. Shingo has exceeded career totals in innings pitched and Hawk/DJ have noticed him forecasting his changeup. It may be wise of Guillen to significantly limit his use the remainder of the season.

YES! Game ends when Bret Boone is tagged out at third. Look at him, crying like a little b****!

I guess it was too much to expect a Sox minor league pitcher to succeed in his first appearance. I'm not making any judgements on Baj (good or bad), just noticing the trend.

Bogan is not your typical highschool Beastly-son. Attendance for majority of these students is a problem, and completing homework is damn near impossible. Teachers just aren't going to care whether or not its done correctly. Heather, you can't dispute this....yet. You're still the bright eyed, fresh faced college graduate eager to teach. These kids will break your spirit soon enough. There will come a day when all you'll care about is collecting a paycheck.

I4E's requested anyone to provide evidence of another organization, besides Muslim Extremists, who commit a larger preportion of the worlds terrorism. You posted several examples, and I merely stated Al-Qeada overshadows any of those events. I never intended to draw a definite conclusion on Al-Qeada or its relationship to world terrorism. I don't have statistics available to prove my case other then what I view on TV. And I'm sure someone will state, "you can't believe everything you see on television!" I agree. Did Al-Qeada's (among other Muslim groups) hatred towards the United States begin following our occupation of Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War? Or as George Bush indicated, "they hate our freedoms and despise our free society?" Whatever you believe is the reason we're disliked, no one can refute the impact this Iraq War II will have on the next generation of terrorism. US may disrupt global terrorism for the next 5 years, but what happens after that? Will this "War of Terrorism" ever end?

The terrorist attacks referenced are seperate events from different organizations. Al-Qeada, both in death inflicted and number of members, far exceeds any group on that list.

I agree it's overbearing to label 99% of the worlds terrorist acts on Islamic Extremists, but can we assume they make up a large majority?

Watch out Randar or this thread will be moved into the Roadhouse and locked. You've been warned! SERIOUSLY. Bullying message boards is the only satisfaction I derive from life. Happy Birthday deuce.

I love threads which damage Egos.

I'm betting these poor bastards are just inhaling air and any feeling of "euphoria" is themselves losing brain cells. How much fun could this actually be when descriptions of AWOL are the following: It is not something people are going to get very drunk on. It is designed to allow people to enjoy the effects of alcohol mixed with oxygen. It promotes a sense of well being and a mild euphoria. It is a fun new legal way to take alcohol. Even though I'm not getting drunk, and all traces of alcohol are dissolved in water, the $3,695 price tag (for myself and three of my friends) is simply too tempting to pass up.

Bad idea. There's a record of inventory with each shipment of videos. Last year my friend was arrested for stealing over $200 in DVD's because the manager decided to compare lists of DVD's checked into the computers to that shipped to the store. There was a discrepancy. He was charged with misdeamor theft but only had a small punishment (fine) due to a previously clean recored.

There's only one Australian Sox fan on this site. s***, probably one in the whole Eastern Hemisphere. For those reasons Dbaho's homeland deserves my vote.

There's no question JR would pencil Diaz in the 5th starters spot if he had a good September. He's f***ing cheap! Any excuse to save money will not be overlooked by such ambitions as a World Series championship. Then we'll begin another year of KW begging Sox fans to "cheer for what they have" and point out how the rest of the division is weak. :puke

That's why I'm weary of any success Joe Borchard might have in September. If he were to hit .280, 8 HR's, 30 RBI's, and limit his strikeouts is it because the pressure is off or he's finally feeling comfortable at the plate? I'm positive KW (and Hawk) will use it as proof Borchard is living up to his potential.

Its ridiculously strict. Question a moderators authority, rules of the board (as TMAR did), or act out of line ONE time and you could be banned. I notice many soxtalk members who post over at WSI and I have no problem with that. Afterall, its a White Sox message board and were all on the same side. What perplexes me about our fellow fan site is their new found arrogance now that the media has recognized them. "OMG, DAVE WILLS MENTIONED US!" Now, to properly represent the White Sox community, threads which showcase negativity or heated debates are moved to the Roadhouse. Browse the forum; there's over 20 locked threads. ALL WITHIN TWO WEEKS. Our site has yet to collect that number in nearly two years. Another noteable difference between the sites is the moderating team. Theirs is compiled of disgruntled, arrogant nerds who have no life outside the message board and attempt to justify their existence with an internet dictatorship. Again, browse through the Roadhouse and you'll be grateful of the leniency of this site. Truly the opitimy of mod-abuse. Answer this for me: if any WSI member were to have questioned the removal of a members administrative power (cwsox) would they still be around? Likely not. For anyone not familar with the history several prolific members had with WSI you may think I'm overreacting. "It's just a message board," some will say. Last year, before I began consistently posting here I never would have devoted the time to bash another site. But after reading the abuse of power transpiring at WSI a rant was in order. I'm sorry for hijacking your thead chisoxfan. Good luck with the WGN superfan contest.

Question: If Sox were still in contention, and Garcia was experiencing similiar tightness in arm, does anyone believe he would be sractched in place of Jason Grilli? Hell no. This is our investment for the next three years. If a four-man rotation were implemented and Sox clinched a playoff birth, I'd venture to say Garcia would spend significant time on the DL come next year. Tomorrow's loss may be significant, but I'm glad Guillen recognized our position in the standings and realized there is nothing to gain from trottting out an injured player.

SS2k4, you read through his archived articles? Two more posts (including one immediately proceeding his other rant ) are linked below. http://www.omgn.com/nexus.php?Item_ID=52&Offset=20 http://www.omgn.com/nexus.php?Item_ID=46&Offset=20 I don't understand why he insults Soxtalk, its members, and WSC to an audience that likely doesn't care.

If not for his poor start to this season, Santana would likely become a frunt runner for Cy Young. s***, if he continues on his current pace he may surpass Mark Mulder for the honor. If there's one flaw in Santanas game its his penchant for serving up home runs. Don't know how many box scores I've read where Santana has given up 2 hits; both home runs.

Sure. Dodgers were playing some of the best baseball in the major leagues during July. With a several game lead seperating themselves from the Padres, all Los Angeles desired was another starter (preferable with playoff experience) and a CF. While both needs were fulfilled, Depodesta traded clubhouse favorite Paul LeDouca and setup man Guillermo Mota (both essential to success of the team) for Hee Sop, Brad Penny, and Steve Finley. I simply don't understand why Moneyball Jr. would break up a core team in 1st place. Mota is essentially the piece of the trade which baffles me the most. Before this trade, with a lead following the 7th inning, the Dodgers were a virtual lock to win. (36-0) First day after Mota is traded bullpen loses the game. Yesterday, Eric Gagne throws three innings for the first time since 2001. Either Gagne will begin to consistently pitch more than one inning, or the bullpen will have to step up to compensate for Motas absense. Both are troubling signs. Dodgers failing to acquire Randy Johnson and Charles Johnson surely compounds the misfortune of this trade.

Yes, he should slapped with a banning. If Beastly was shown no mercy during his 5 month suspension, the least our fine moderating team could do was with hold Brandos meager 30 day slap on the wrist. I told myself something immediately after posting earlier in this thread. If Reesdi were NOT Brando, a moderator would surely make a valiant attempt to prove it. Not exactly a name you'd wish to draw similarities with. Whether claiming the IP addresses were different, or simply stating their opinion (as I'm doing), I expected a rebuttal. NOT ONE has surfaced during the 13 hours since Jordan's first post. Is it possible in this time frame not one moderator/administrator viewed this tread? Certainly a possibility, but in an attempt to build a conspiracy theory all information is spinned to validate my point. My conclusion: Brandofan was given the opportunity to start fresh under a new name; as Beastly did last September. Difference being Beastly quietly posted among Soxtalk for nearly a month (before his discovery), while Comrade Brando couldn't lay low for more than ONE DAY. Guess when you write like a poetic douchebag you're easy to pinpoint. Don't take my comments to harshly Brando. You're still my guy, but you simply ignored all rules of secrecy/obscurity/concealment tought by your homeland. Today, the mother land cries tears of Vodka. Not that its unusual to drink heavily in Russia, but seriously you poorly hid your identity.

Good observation. The styles of writing are strikingly similar between reesdi and Brandofan. If its truly him, our comrade still has half a month of suspension to serve.

I agree. KW's ego forbids it. Why promtoe a young pitcher with ONE career win while Contreras has the "stuff" (and prior success) to succeed as a starter. What good would Contreras be out of the pen if Felix Diaz can't pitch past the fourth inning? His role is better served pitching six innings, compared to the three a long reliever would warrant.
