QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) I can't tell if you're joking or not, so... No, and that's a pretty ridiculous way to summarize what I've been saying. What gets tired is not disagreement, but posting chicken little pics and stating how many games over .500 we are and telling people to stop being in the least bit negative about anything, for any reason, just b/c 'I'm tired of it.' It's often been said here -- if you don't want to read it, DON'T. There's no reason to post when you have nothing relevant to say, just to threadcrap. People aren't even paying attention to the post at all, they're just saying, 'Oh, it's negative, and I read something negative in the gamethread and that upset me so stfu.' That's a joke. So you're tired of your posts being lumped with the rest of the overly-negative s*** yet you're generalizing the way that people are responding...I've read some of the responses too and a lot of them have been valid reasoning for being optimistic and not just "I'm tired of it so stfu"... There's just so many more reasons to be optimistic with this team and I agree with a lot of the other sentiments that have been expressed in terms of wanting to just enjoy this team instead of always fearing the absolute worst and way over-exaggerating the bad. It's sad that some are already predicting playoff failure at this point in the season when it's clear that the team is in a good position yet wayy too early to make playoff predictions. And the majority seems to agree. (But this isn't all directed to you nor am I trying to call you out or anything) Anyways, it's a message board. If you post something on this type of forum, it's meant to be openly discussed, within the accepted parameters. Personally, it seems like some people like to make ridiculous, reactionary, negative doomsday predictions just so they can say "I told you so" if it happens. Sad to me. I'd rather just sit back and enjoy the ride...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) Jermaine is wearing some funny looking cleats. He previously was wearing basketball shoes with cleats like a few other players have been wearing...Nike Huaraches I believe...I'll get back to you if I figure out what he's wearing now...

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) CSN+. CLTV in the NW suburbs. cltv throughout Chicago, suburbanite.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) The question is whether it's possible here to make a negative point and not be shouted down. So some of you wanna state your opinions on a message board but don't want anyone to disagree even if your opinion is in the minority???

What a farce...first real team they face and they s*** themselves...

I'll maybe give them a tiny bit of credit for actually showing that they maybe care about and are maybe getting sick and tired of the horrific product that they have to see on the field...And that place is a s***hole anyways...

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 02:17 PM) And then when McCarthy struggles, it'll be time for someone else, maybe a trade. And then if the guy the Sox trade for struggles, it'll be "what a horrible trade that was" and we'll all splooge all over the guy they traded away. It gets old. You'd never guess this team was 52-27. ^^^ The b****ing on here would be endless... There's just no guarantee that he's be awesome his first full season, and I'm now even more weary of giving him that opportunity both because of the high stakes this season and because our other rookie is struggling way, way, way, way more at the plate than anybody predicted...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) Stop and think of our bench if we made this trade (considering Figgins might not be used as a starter). Mackowiak, Figgins, Cintron, Ozuna, Gload, and I guess you can throw in Widger. That's an awesome bench. Trade for him to bolster our bench??

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) Is there any other way to attend that school? lol...FSU definitely has its stigmas (most deservedly so) but u of i isn't that far behind either... And it was a personal decision to transfer...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) No, it's no longer about just having a White Sox pitcher start for pride. This game means something for us. Contreras has been bad his last few starts, and he'll have to face the NL's best for at least 2 innings. I'd rather go with the sure bet in Santana or Halladay. Where does it say he has to pich 2 innings?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) How much money does our rotation make this year? Billions, and they suck massive dick.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 11:52 AM) I'm sure you all are drop dead gorgeous / handsome, huh? I know she's brought most of it upon herself, but lay off the girl. lol...None of us have a chance in hell with her, whether we want her or not, but that doesn't mean we can't have an opinion about someone who's in the public eye. And I'm sure my saying I don't think she's as hot as the massive hype that she gets must be killing her inside...she'd probably trade away her millions upon millions just to here me say she's hot.

Since when has being an All-Star been about who's the most deserving?????? Make him your starter, Ozzie.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:19 PM) They are due to lose, just like the Pirates were due for a win. Exactly. 160-f***in-2 game season...and the pirates weren't gonna lose out the rest of the year no matter how bad they are... Did we just get swept or am I missing something else???

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) The problem, is our $40 billion rotation. They have sucked some serious dick on the year, and even Contreras is having bad games now. Horrible, terrible...

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Whatever dude, were clearly not going to win "anything" with this pitching staff. A .640% winning percentage sucks. lol...

He might've been overdue for a bad game. They were overdue for an actual win. Maybe just bad timing.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 09:30 AM) I'll be a Freshman this fall. Good choice...I went there for a couple of yours so lemme know if you ever have any questions...

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 10:48 AM) This is what you would see on a daily basis if you were her husband: *shudders* I think this is what he sees... Anyways, I was never a fan of her vastly overrated looks...

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 10:35 AM) Well, I am a big fan of XBOX and the now the 360...but am certainly open to the option of buying the PS3...but this does not sound like a good thing... Yep, it's been a knock with ps3 with other developers too...

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) I'd do that trade again in a heartbeat. The upside would have been Duncan/Robinson, we are experiencing the downside right now and still have made the playoffs more than Elton Brand. There goes any kind of basketball knowledge credibility you may have had...

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) she had her nose done Shoulda done something about the chin too...and the annoying personality...

Awww...

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) To the best of my knowledge those are both PS3 only, at least as of right now... gta won't be exclusive.
