September 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Ok, I whipped up a petition to send to John. http://www.petitiononline.com/rooney/petition.html It's a lot easier than message board signees, and we can also say that we gave it the major league effort trying to get Rooney to stay. we should make this its own topic at the very top of the soxtalk.com pale hose talk main area.

I think it would be cool if all the message boards really worked to get a nice amount of signatures. Like I said, the odds of it working are very, very slim, but we can at least say we tried and we can show Rooney that we appreciate all he has done for us.
September 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) Lowballed isn't even close to what I would call it. The word used was "sickening", IIRC. What I don't understand is that Farmer will be back. If they lowballed Rooney, wouldn't they lowball Farmer, too? Or did Ed just have a different contract or did Ed just take what they were giving him? Interesting that they agreed with one but not both.

Can we edit this one into the first post?

September 3, 200520 yr I made a .tk page to point to the petition, so that we have an easier link. www.savejohnrooney.tk
September 4, 200520 yr People Rooney ain't comming back, I don't know why even try. It is a nice gesture don't get me wrong and rooney is very good but the decision is made.
September 4, 200520 yr I signed the petition. Who's the ASSHOLE who had to put all that garbage in and promote their assanine blog? Lowlife scumbag are the terms that come to mind when thinking of a person who would do something like that, and if this is a personal attack, I really don't care, because this person deserves every word of it.

You can't do a damn thing to delete anything either.
September 4, 200520 yr I also think it's pretty cool if you go to www.petitiononline.com we're in the top 10 active petitions.

I'm a dunce. I want John to get this petition somehow, and I think my best bet would be giving it to Brooks and then asking Brooks if he can forward it to John. Maybe I'll copy the html and get rid of G-man's mean comments as well by just making a new web page. Hey aboz, can you put the link to the petition in the first post of this thread?

September 4, 200520 yr Good news! I contacted petitiononline and they gave me admin powers to the petition. The result: I deleted all the garbage by the trolls! W00t!

September 4, 200520 yr Hey, I've got an idea guys. Just to make sure everyone knows that this thread is here, we could get the forums to mass email their members with a link to the petition.
September 5, 200520 yr signed the petition, and read a few... i couldnt help but laugh at this quote tho! so funny! "I wish I knew how to spell disseminated"
