Viciedo Nickname Misconception: it was never "HoT FiRe", it was simply "Hot Fire"
I've thought about a Soxtalk Mount Rushmore before. Your list is very good. i see you have Tim Anderson at catcher. I think one should simply be "greg775" . Tim Anderson at catcher would fall under that. The guy has been running the long con for over 15 years. I don't know if he has ever truly broken character. If you were to tell Soxtalk forum members to name the first 5 Soxtalk posters that come to their mind, I'd wager that greg is the most mentioned person. greg most definitely has a spot on the Soxtalk mount rushmore. I've always thought about it in terms of members. This is mine. greg775 - as stated above SS2K5 - most consistently active moderator throughout the time here. Lot of posts. fathom - longtime active poster, including gamethreads. Known for.gis trademarked pessimism. He's the classic pessimistic fan. Chisoxfn - he made this place (I think)

Viciedo Nickname Misconception: it was never "HoT FiRe", it was simply "Hot Fire"
HoT FiRe is the original nickname for Dayan Viciedo. It was one of the more highly disputed nicknamed in White Sox history. It was created sometime around 2011 by joecoolman aka chiliirishhammock aka the official Soxtalk nicknamer. Some loved it, others hated it. One important distinction with the nickname was the spelling of it - alternating capital and lowercase letters. This nickname was created around 2011, long before alternating capital and lowercase letters was used in a condescending way as it is now. However, new shit has come to light regarding the nickname. It turns out the alternating letters was never part of Dayan's actual nickname. See below by the creator of the nickname. In your opinion, does this diminish the quality of the nickname? I personally think the alternating capital letters defined it. Dayan will forever be HoT FiRe to me. If we could be some input from @ChiliIrishHammock24, that would be appreciated.

How bad are the Cubs going to be in 2021?
Sadly some here hate the Cubs as much as they love the Sox. I agree with you here. A crosstown world series would be a dream. I made a poll asking if people would want a crosstown series, but more people than not are too scared of losing to the Cubs and wouldn't want the series to happen at all.

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
I already suggested that and said I would do it. I asked who is with, specifically to Balta. I got crickets back from everybody, though.

Typically I would agree, but DUIs are pretty cut and dry, and the evidence points to him being above the limit and a jagoff.

@southsider2k5 should we boycott the ball club once any player gets busted for using illegally purchased steroids? This can influence minors to use steroids and result in serious consequences and an early death.

Sox hire Ethan Katz per WSD
Had to reread the article to see what you were talking about. I'm indifferent when it comes to barstool, but that line was completely unnecessary for the article and reeked of jealousy. Why even waste a sentence in your article to complain about who the White Sox reported the story to? I expect unecessary complaining like that out of Julie DiCaro. In fact, she will probably steal that idea and then find a reason to call southsidesox sexist as well. Also, Barstool has a female CEO and plenty of female employees. The sexist claims just make me laugh.

Jesus fucking Christ man. You've managed to compare a DUI to slavery. You took this WAY too far.

I'm happy for Jose. I don't think he is able to keep the necessary production up to win MVP in a full season, but I sure hope he does next year.

Who do you have in mind? Probably easy to tell based on when they both post, unless said person never posts here. I know I have no room to talk, but the constant posting of fake tweets just gets old.

I'm getting a little confused here. Are people saying that Dave should burn/ditch his source, because it may be Reinsdorf, out of "morality"?

Harold is much more connected than that chump Jeff Passan ???

He mentioned a guy named Mr. sugar Penis who has broken stuff. Said it isn't Mr. Sugar Penis that gave him the info, but somebody similar to him. Biggest part is that Passan says that he thinks the new drops regarding the story isn't over. Maybe we'll see footage soon? Wetbutt or katy perry's bootyhole broke the news possibly?!?!

Because fake rumors suck? You constantly share tweets from a bogus account. You already denied it is you, but I feel that it is you. Why keep sharing his tweets?

Why again do we keep sharing rumors from Al's Cheesy Beef, an account made days ago that is a clear parody account?

Are your friends filthy loaded, or is this a commercial boat that is part of a business? I don't know much about boats, but it must be big if you can take it down to Puerto Rico.

Fair point! Honestly I had no idea guests could report posts. It seems like a very easy way for people to troll mods and waste their time.
