Leonard Zelig Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Robbie Alomar & Carl Everett returning jokes stopped being funny a few years ago. "(fill in the blank) says hi." As a way to refute somebody's post is way overused as is the method of "fixing" somebody's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the double beat down topic. We should just number that one and save time. When Oz does something stupid Comment #167 Reply retort #168 Saves us all time.

fathom Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Can we add: - terrible attendance - Contreras' arm slot - not holding on runners - Swisher is off the juice - minor league stats - Chris Rongey's an idiot - piranhas - signing Scott Boras clients Edited May 13, 2008 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ May 13, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) Anything suggesting removal of Paul Konerko after he starts the season slow, because it always turns into a 30+ HR and 90+ RBI season. The overeaction to players both ways. Ex: Paulie is horrible or Swisher is god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely disagree with this...if you look at the Bears site, you'll see frequent posts in a game thread about how "X" player should be benched, "Y" should be released, and this coach sucks. A game thread is more like an in game blog than a discussion board....but if people want to change the way it's handled on here, I don't blame them.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 MBINAA was always my fave. I mean, seriously. As if this was a discussion that could ever result in an answer. The term "ace" is so subjective, it makes for an impossibility of logical discussion. Its like asking if jelly bellies are indeed the bomb. JBANTB!!!!!!!

Its like asking if jelly bellies are indeed the bomb. JBANTB!!!!!!! That's why it's so awesome. It's a subjective term with no true definition, yet back when Mark Buehrle was a good starting pitcher it seemed everyone had an opinion on the subject and they couldn't wait to express that opinion with their fellow anonymous internet people. A debate with no true answer that everyone wants to argue about? Sign me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 the loss of Aaron Rowand being the main reason why the Sox lost in 2006 and that the Thome trade was absolutely terrible because of that Thankfully, he signed with San Francisco.

I guess this thread's purpose has been fulfilled, eh? Nobody will admit it, but that's the reason this thread was started. Wait, who was suspended and for what? I've been browsing the game day thread and nothing outrageous stood out. I hope we're not traveling down the path of WSI. That is, censoring ourselves for questionable reasons-- and for who, exactly? The children? The media? We don't need to impress anyone with the civility of Soxtalk. That's what WSI doesn't get. No one is impressed with their lack of negativity of "dark cloug" behavior on the main board. I understand there's occasions when posts may go overboard. Reasonable censorship is fine in this cirumstances. And if I missed whatever was removed then it's my mistake. I'd just like to believe this isn't the start of something more.
