September 15, 201510 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 12h12 hours ago Starling Marte would've been with the White Sox if not for a vengeful, gun-toting buscon. More from @BradyMcCollough: http://bit.ly/1gnFkOq Balta mentioned it in the minor league thread, but I thought this was worth its own thread on what would of been. This really upsets me because I love Starling Marte and would of loved to see him in a Sox uniform. Edited September 15, 201510 yr by SoxPride18
September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:09 AM) Please change the title to "Should've" or "should have". Thanks! Are you serious?
September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:30 AM) Yes. I've heard of the grammar police but you just went full blown grammar SWAT/FBI/etc. Whatever.
September 15, 201510 yr That worked out well for him, it's unlikely he would have developed into as good of a hitter with the White Sox, given what we know.

"Should of" isn't a thing. Uh, yeah. I understand. But really? The site owner (sorry J) has some of the worst grammar in the history of grammar. It's really not a big deal on a sports message board. But I digress. Hopefully they edit the title so all can be right in the world of the internet.
September 15, 201510 yr Then someone brings in a gun and the grammar police flee, leaving the Pirates an opportunity to sign them in the future to improve their team's typing abilities.
September 15, 201510 yr I'm not big on correcting people's grammar in posts, but I'm in favor of getting it right in thread titles.

Sub Melky for Marte on this year's roster, for one thing, but there are probably other ripples too.
September 15, 201510 yr Never thought I'd see this much grammar talk on Soxtalk without a post from me. Either way, I cleaned the title but found the overall story fascinating and it is that story that should get the attention.

September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) I'm wondering why the grammar patrol let the Chris Sale thread slide. Not that I care about grammar on a message board but I was clearly just making a ridiculous thread title on purpose with that thread.

For what it's worth, I found the title to be funny. Disturbing and scary story to say the least surrounding the scouting of Marte.
September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) This is one of the wilder stories I have heard in a long time. Wilder.....I see what you did there
September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) This is one of the wilder stories I have heard in a long time. About the grammar police?
September 15, 201510 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) About the grammar police? I hate you.
