June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:36 PM) Oakland isn't exactly a place with a clean reputation either... Lol - yeah, well, he didn't stay there long, either. He was traded to the Tigers in July of 2002.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:38 PM) THREE MODS IN THE TOPIC!! WHO WILL COMPLY WITH MY DEMANDS Too much caffeine today?
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Too much caffeine today? I believe Paulie is his father.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Too much caffeine today? How about I like my superstars and don't want rumors spreading because of a website. The internet can be dangerous like that, in case you haven't heard. Paul Konerko has given us enough that we needn't assist in any idle bs speculation about him.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) I believe Paulie is his father favoritist ever having surpassed Frank f***ing Thomas and y'all better recognize. Fixed. Sixteen thousand square feet, people.

I understand what you are saying, and the thread title was indeed changed. But as we're not WSI (I feel like I keep saying that today), we don't generally quash entire topics of discussion just because they are controversial.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Steve always gets what he wants by yelling loudly. Fixed

Didn't you claim earlier that Alex Rios rapes bunnies?
June 24, 201114 yr It was all a misunderstanding. Someone just overheard a conversation about how good of friends Konerko and Jack Lalanne were. Edited June 24, 201114 yr by kjshoe04
June 24, 201114 yr Baseball made their bed. Nobody is above suspicion. But who the hell knows what goes on behind closed doors? I'm not going to worry about it until somebody fails a test, grows two hat sizes, or hits 50 homers in a season out of nowhere.

But as we're not WSI (I feel like I keep saying that today), we don't generally quash entire topics of discussion just because they are controversial. My request first and foremost was simply to change the topic title, because the thread inhabits the "Title" portion of the page and is the strongest section in the page in producing search terms and results.

But as we're not WSI (I feel like I keep saying that today), we don't generally quash entire topics of discussion just because they are controversial. Understood, but I totally see his point. Remember the Damon/Clemens post by YAS in that one thread years ago? It made its way to Sports Illustrated. Google caches sites all the time. How awful would it be if something like this merely even led to the slightest hint of unnecessary suspicion about him?
June 24, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) Someone mod me so I can make this ever important change like a responsible person. You may de-mod me seconds later. ORRRRRRRR save us all the time and hassle and just f***ing do it. I am angry now.
June 24, 201114 yr If konerko hits 50 this year, more talks of this will come. Trying to delete topics about it won't help that. As southsider2k5 said, the blame lies on baseball's poor management of the issue.
June 24, 201114 yr As someone who deals with SEO, all the time, I felt it my duty to protect Paulie. Pages on soxtalk get cache'd and searched by Google and other engines, and the part that sits between the PED accusations - Soxtalk.com is muey importante. Now that it only says PED accusations, it is perfectly fine.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) LOUD!!!!!!!! Really? I'm wrong there? I was just messin around cuz I think this thread is ridiculous, but I thought that was an adverb?
June 24, 201114 yr i was only half listening but they started the segment by giving Konerko's stats and age vs. the norm. Mac quickly squashed the idea that Konerko was using but it sparked a debate as to whether numbers alone are enough to accuse.
June 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) If Konerko is gonna take a PED, he should be taking one that makes him faster.
