QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) Of the top 5 things that bother me about the Sox this year, he doesn't even make the list. My list in no particular order: - Boone Logan's suckiness - Jon Garland's woes - Ross Gload's uselessness for this team - Jenk's shaky outings - The incomplete green seats Jenks? Doesn't really bother me. Buehrle bothers me more right now.

I'll take his as is over logan.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 16, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) Shake your head all you want but its true. The gay marriage amendments are all passed in the states where its going to increase GOP turnout enough to matter and now suddenly its all about immigration. The GOP suddenly "woke up" to illegal immigration one year after our Republican president offered to fund 210 out of 10,000 proposed new border agents. It wasn't an issue they thought about addressing until their poll numbers went south and suddenly we need a new thing to felonize. All this is is posturing and grandstanding at the expense of other people - regardless of what you think of them. If they really cared about fixing our immigration policy, we would have done something about it last january, or 5 years ago, or 12 years ago when the Contract on America finally got the GOP in some form of control to begin with. They don't dress anywhere near as colorfully and flamboyantly as gays...

So there's no MLB-ready arms in the minors for our pen? Are we basically just waiting for Nelson or through trade?

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Immigrants are the new gays. :headshake

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) Yep. that was me. I think he's struck out 7 times since then Quick, someone make a thread about how much BA does strike out.

Literally just walked in from practice and saw the score...Anyone mind giving me a quick recap? How'd McCarthy look? And the boxscore doesn't look so good for either of our pitchers so far.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 16, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) Sources? The difficulty is that you can't use a leftist blog or website. About the minutemen leader who resigned because of racism in the organization? Sure. Happened last year but I'm sure there's still stuff on it. Lemme check... Here's one from a news source. http://www.kristv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3657578 And here's a white supremecist forum (same format as ours ) detailing their minutemen rally. You'll luv the language. http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=221526 It isn't exactly new news that there are racist ties with the minutemen.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 16, 2006 -> 02:32 PM) I suppose then it would be a fair question to ask you if you are in favor of these Mexican seperatist groups who go around saying "Gringo's out!!!!" How would that be a fair question if I never said I supported them but a couple of you did say you were glad the minutemen brought this issue to attention? QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 16, 2006 -> 02:32 PM) Trouble is that the Minutemen are nothing like the fire-breathing racists that the leftists portray them as. They are a group of concerned citizens who are tired of the Federal Government ignoring what is a huge problem in our country. Too much has come out about the minutemen and racist ties for it to just be a coincidence. One of their leaders left for that very same reason. Funny you should mention "gringos out" when much worse things have been heard in minutemen rallies.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 16, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) I love being told what the capacity of MY stadium is by somebody who's obviously never been. It's yours??? Let me get some free tickets!

So you people are in favor of the minutemen? Same ones with the ties to hate groups?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Take away their social benefits and their ill-gotten jobs and they will leave on their own. True, we have been through this before. I see no 12 million+ workforce ready and eager to do the jobs that they do at minimum wage. They're needed more than you're willing to admit.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) There is a legal, logical process in place - use it or go home. There is? Where? Let me know when it's implemented. I'm all for a legal, logical process.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) thanks, I'm not a smoker myself so it won't bother me. It's just interesting that over here you'll never see anyone with a beer in their hand while watching a game, but they will be smoking up a storm. Soccer coaches too...

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) I agree 100%. I am all for only allowing those immigrants who can support themselves and their families to immigrate. That should be part of the guest worker program. No jobs, no immigration. Let US labor needs control immigration, not some arbitrary program that is decades old. QUOTE(YASNY @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:07 PM) That's a different spin, since you seem to be against any legislation or action that would limit immigration ... even illegal immigration.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:53 AM) So its population increases that are causing this problem huh? I guess we need to have a Chinese-style population control programme to prevent us from having to import food then huh? Since we wanna steal their Great Wall and Forbidden City ideas, might as well...

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:45 AM) The Sky Is Falling! We better build a dome along with the wall to save us!

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Not a hint of inaccuracy. So you agree that he's the most corrupt political official of all time? Wow, I'm no expert in politics, but I think I could could come up with a couple dozen political leaders who would be considered much more...

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:43 AM) Vicente Fox is the most crooked, corrupt son of a b**** I have ever seen hold office. He is running a corrupt, impoverished, narco-state who's 2 main exports are narcotics and impoverished people. lol...Not a hint of negative bias...

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 15, 2006 -> 08:33 AM) The solution is to secure the border and make people come into the country legally. Yep. All of which can be done without a massively overexpensive wall. Let's save the time, manpower, and huge amount of unnecessary tax dollars for building and, more expensively, maintaining an eye sore of a wall that we're gonna decide to tear down in the future anyways. But, as has mentioned before, it's a pointless argument since there will be no wall.

...

Damn, we're winning...I'm gonna go watch it with my dad 'til we're losing again.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Was the first error more on Mark or Juan? Seems like Juan normally would have had that? That ball had more movement than his pitches towards the plate...maybe...

QUOTE(fathom @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) I'm probably putting myself in quickman/flash territory here, but the most disappointing thing of the last week is the lack of major league ready depth we have in the minors. We were on a great stretch before the Haeger game, and if he could have just given us a solid start, our fortunes probably could have been better. I wasn't on this site at the end of the game last night, but why in the world is Jenks warming up in the 8th inning when we're down 3? He needs rest right now! Any minor-leaguer (and most do) would have struggled in their first start no matter how good...
