Steff Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 damn good source, that is, Steff and if an official request is needed for their file, all we do up here is write "I request a copy of [whatever] under the Freedom of Information Act" but if you have friends who will just copy, nothing wrong with that either - it is public record I'd like to see the extension park when USCF got its name to see where the contract to keep the Sox in chicago was added. Good luck! I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe Frank or Mark can just drive on down there and pick it up for me on their way over to our place for dinner Friday night...

southsider2k5 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Thanks for the input fellas. cwsox, you seem to make the most sense. I may have been a bit harsh. southsider2k4 thanks for your 2 cents, but you can have it back and aboz56 my message was thought out. The thing I think you guys are missing is that I'm positive that she is not the only one who knows people in the game or in the business, yet she is the only one who constantly boasts about it. Personally, I don't understand the little "cult following" she has on this board. We make fun of cubs fans for being sheep, but this board is very similar in regards to her. The way she began this post, "I have the CBA....Who wants it?", like she's dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit. Rather than tactfully saying, "if you'd like a copy of the CBA, leave your email address and I'll send it to you". I'll be the first to admit that she does quite often have very interesting information to share, but IMHO, she quite often comes across with an "I told you so" or "look what I got" or "look who I know" or "I'm right, you're wrong" type tone to her posts. If you want to look at message history, how many of your messages are of this exact same variety. Just about half of your message are attacks on the same person. And if you had read any of the other threads, you would have realized that her message was a continuation of another thread where the CBA had been talked about, and she said she was going to try to get it for everyone else who had been asking about it.

Sorry man, I don't live on this board or hang on her every word. To each his own though. Thanks for doing the stat totals for my posts, that should come in handy somewhere.

The Critic Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hey, maybe Steff could have made it EVEN WORDIER like THIS: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Soxtalk message boards - lately I have seen much discussion about and reference to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Major League Baseball Players Association and the various ownership groups involved in and tied to Major League Baseball. I am pleased to inform you that I have successfully acquired a downloadable copy of said agreement, and I personally am agreeable to forwarding this document to any and all interested parties. If you wish to obtain, via email, a copy of this document, please acknowledge said interest within this thread and share an email address at which you can be reached. Aforementioned document shall be delivered to you electronically with due expedience." "I got it - who wants it" works fine for me. And sounds like SOMEONE's a little bit jealous of Steff's celebrity friends... STEFF - HOW DARE YOU MAKE FRIENDS WITH FAMOUS PEOPLE!!!! You SHOWOFFY KNOWITALL BETTER-THAN-THOU SNOB, You!!!!! Of course, don't listen to me, I'm probably just another blind follower of the Cult Of Steff!! BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Steff Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 ROTFLMAO Critic!!! In all seriousness... I'm really sorry if others feel the same way as PB. I've pretty much stopped sharing things I'm told here (after the last fiasco and a series of PM's I just don't think it's worth it) for fear that if they aren't right I'm going to get hung and skinned ala Heads deer kill last year . Cult following... that's a good one. Shame on me for making friends. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach23 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'm probably just another blind follower of the Cult Of Steff!! I am part of the steff cult as well. The meetings are fun. We sit around drinking beer and worshipping the "doable" one while waiting for a silver and black comet to come and take us to one of the moons of Uranus where we will cheer on a baseball team that never loses. The cult leader is RPS. You should see him in his robe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stuff could be completly ficticious and would be more intersting than anything that porn renting doucebag has to offer.

Patrick_Bateman Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! You got that right, keep on following. Nice try on the rewording, only it would have went something like this.. "I was out the other day with Dave Wills and Mark's Dad talking about the CBA and we stopped off to get some lunch and ran into Sidney Ponson. Anyway, after lunch, I dropped off Willsy and Mark's Dad at PK's house in Bridgeport 'cause Mark was visiting with Paul. They asked me if I wanted to come in for a few beers, but I told them I had other plans. Without them, I figured I could get some real work done, so I called up Sandy Alderson and asked him to email me a copy of the MLB CBA and he told me sure thing Steff. You know, most people would have to pay $20, but Sandy and I are tight. So now I've got it, who wants it? Okay southsider2k4, you want it,... sit down,... shake hands,...rollover.....good boy. Okay, here's your copy. Who else? The Critic. Okay Critic, what do you say? "Baaaahhh" "Baaaahhh". Good boy, here's your copy. HSC's Biggest Fan...kneel before me and kiss my feet. Good Boy, you are a good servant. I'm like the queen bee here at soxtalk.com. And for the last time, Colon is going to the Yankees and there is nothing wrong with Sid's arm."

Chisoxfn Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I'd definately like a copy steff jason@futuresox.com And bateman, if you dont' like steff, leave your opinions about her to yourself. Steff doesn't go out rubbing her noes like NANNANA I know him and you don't. She's a nice person and is nice enough to share what she hears with us. Is everything right no? (rumors are exactly that rumors, she hears something and she informs us sometimes) but she isn't just sitting at her house making it up. Instead why don't you focus on the Score since Konerko has yet to be traded and well, they must know someone too Steff = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 ever have a day where you've had enough? I have. This thread is about to be as pointless as any we have ever had and as potentially destructive. Jason, I see you are out there. If you weren't, I'd be be real inclined to close this before this fight gets to be more more than it is. And it might be just be me but there are days when the shouting and verbal trumps of each other drive away all and any joy of being here. Damn it all I come to get away from stress. Why can't people here go without having to have the last word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
