Adam LaDouche, I want my money back. thsanks, douglS

his line is okay, but he still looked like a statue, who would hire a statue, first thing I said the first time I saw him bat? What was the first time you saw him bat, prolly onening day 2015 just like me? thanks, Douglas

LaRouche looks like a statue, but he looked like a statue in 2014 too, didn't anybody see that before they hired him? He's a stiff, I would just dump him and write it off as a bad deal. Why keep him around like we did the other Adam, he's a cancer that needs to be cut off at the neck. And he says he's sorry and he should be booed, but he still cases his checks. If one of these stiffs would come out and say don't pay me, now that would be something. How 'bout this, Adam Ladouche comes out and says don't pay me until game 162, and then, and only then, pay me if you think I deserve the money? thanks, douglas

we talk about the Yankees, anyone but me remember when Bill Veeck invented the exploding scoreboard? Casey Stengel would have his players run up and down in front of the dugout with sparklers. That's the kind of show we don't have anymore. thanks, douglas

back when Bill Veeck invented putting player's names on the jerseys, it was the road uniform only. His reasoning was visiting teams players wouldn't be recognized and associated by number to hometown fans. I think we should go back to that, I see some of the teams no longer have names. thanks, douglas

there isn't a single position player that doesn't need improved. I suppose you could say that about every player, even Mickey Mantle, but these nine guys on the CWS all just plain suck. Gillespy should not be a major leaguer; Alexis is clueless, Adam LaRouche looks like a statue at the plate, ever look at him good, stiff as a board? You can go down the list everybody on the team a bunch of losers. It all point to Robin Ventura gotta go. thanks, Douglas

how's 'bout this>>> fire RV, hire Ozzie, Sox win the pennant!!! thanks, douglas

Ozzie was there yesterday blabbing to Kenny. Let's dump RV, he don't even have a pulse, and let Ozzie put the uniform back on. thanks, douglas

my original thought got lost in the rhetoric, can a manager impose appearance code? The owner/boss wants some semblance of class befitting an elite member of society. It was many many years ago we were staying at the Drake hotel downtown and the Pistons were in town and staying there. Those guys looked and dressed like they took pride in their game and team and not like a bunch of slobs. If I was manager, as long as you had a uniform on, clean shaven, no jewelry, short hair GI cut preferred. When not in uniform you still had a code when in public. I know members here will say as long as they perform, they can look like clowns is okay, not the point. thanks, douglas

it was talked about a little on the TV yesterday, but what is America's fixation with facial hair? I watched American Idol last nite and all three Ryan Secrest, Keith Urban and Harry Connick look like they hadn't seen a barber or a razor blade in months. The Sox lineup looks like the players are auditioning for Smith Bros cough drops. Can the manager impose appearance codes or is that a thing of the past? thanks, douglas

I never read or heard any details, but the word out there was he was a party boy. I guess you can't hit the big city lights every nite and still be on your game. Too bad, he could resist everything but temptation. thanks, douglas

I hate to see Stoney go, I like him, smart guy when it comes to the ins and outs of the game. thanks, douglas

who's better, Hawk and Stoney, or Harry and Jimmy? thanks, douglas

I have only been a member here a month, and it's been a rocky road. I suspect I'm a little too far to the right of most members of this board, nothing I can say will change that. You all will have to put up with an uneducated bigot and a loudmouth, i hope i can still visit here if my posting privileges are revoked. ................. thanks, douglas

foot in mouth well deserved, tough crowd here. thanks, douglas

baseball has been very very good to Diane V. how much has he made in the last 4 or 5 years? More than enough to go back to Havana and sit on his front porch and eat tacos and get big and fat and live like a king. thanks, douglas

yeah righty lefty but maybe it's just how I remember Horlen. He pitched a couple important games at the tail end, won a couple and if I remember, he lost one to Catfish Hunter. thanks, douglas

yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys are the best. I don't know why, but Danks kinda reminds me of Joel Horlen, remember him? thanks, douglas

yeah, let's not forget Bobby Jenks, we'll call it combined shutout. I wonder if Danks could have sustained the 9th, we'll never know. thanks, douglas

most historic game ever, surpasses the '05 postseason, not even close. name any other single game that had more impact. Johhny Danks will always be remembered for his performance that nite. I think he still has it in him and he will shine in 2015. thanks, douglas

what did Samara ever do? Are we forgetting that Danks pitched a shutout in arguably the most important game in White Sox history? thanks, douglas

if I had any wishes, catcher, 2nd and 3rd base and then we'd be done. thanks, douglas

why are you guys apologizing for him? Adam Dunn sucked, he was awful, he was the worst p[layer to put on a Sox uniform in the last 20yrs, name me one worse? and who got paid more? Oh, he was a nice guy in the clubhouse, who gives a crap? For 56mil we paid him to be terrible, I could be as good as he was. we made him a rich millionaire he's laughing all the way to the bank. I hope I never see or hear from adam dunn ever again, geeez! thanks, douglas

you guys are way too kind, he stole my money and for that there is no forgiveness. His body language and the s*** eating grin on his face every time he drew a walk was one reason I could not stand to see him in the batter's box. Draw a walk, I'm not paying him to draw walks, I could bring back Smokey Burgess to do that. Why they let him sit out the last week so he wouldn't break the all-time strikeout record i'll never know? Would have served him right. thanks, douglas

Me and Linda watch Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump. This season has Johnny Damon as one of the contestants, and a few of the tasks are fund raisers. The key to winning is to call on your best buddies to make cash donations and document the results. These Celebrities can garner some big bucks but it seems the pro sports players have a rough go. Damon was only able to accumulate $5000, while one of the Hollywood guys was able to earn $165,000. Linda asked what's with that, I thought these ball players made so much money? And it's true, baseball players are the elite of the pro sport world when it comes to salaries, but evidently not when it comes to charity donations. Or maybe Damon doesn't have any friends? thanks, douglas
