Egbert giving up way to many homeruns. Just awful.

Garland and day games usually mean Sox win. Go Sox.

I think he should be in jail just cause the guys nickname is "Scooter". What the hell is that? That and he's rich. I mean rich people don't go to jail. DUH!

I think it had something to do with the fact that he's 65

If Detroit and Clevland both lose all their starters to season ending injury, than we might have a chance.

and it was against the Twins. Go Big Hurt.

we got 4 runs off him last start, so maybe we can hit him again. Go Javy. Go Sox.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 02:12 PM) We dont live in "the world", we live in "the United States". You can ask 100 people on the street what they think the term "Bong hit" means, and I would be shocked if less than 75% did not associate it with marijuana. It really doesnt matter if the word comes from latin, thai, or anything else the fact of the matter is, in the United States, BONGS are illegal. http://www.smokingwithstyle.com/bongetiquette.htm I honestly dont know how some one could argue otherwise, like I said, go to any head shop in Illinois and ask for a Bong as compared to a water pipe. Innocence may be bliss, but ignorance of the law is no excuse. Chapter 720. Criminal Offenses Offenses Against The Public Act 600. Drug Paraphernalia Control Act (Refs & Annos) (d) "Drug paraphernalia" means all equipment, products and materials of any kind, other than methamphetamine manufacturing materials as defined in Section 10 of the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, which are intended to be used unlawfully in planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling or otherwise introducing into the human body cannabis or a controlled substance in violation of the Cannabis Control Act, [FN3] the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, [FN4] or the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. It includes, but is not limited to: (5) objects intended to be used unlawfully in ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing cannabis, cocaine, hashish, or hashish oil into the human body including, where applicable, the following items: (A) water pipes; (B) carburetion tubes and devices; © smoking and carburetion masks; (D) miniature cocaine spoons and cocaine vials; (E) carburetor pipes; (F) electric pipes; (G) air-driven pipes; (H) chillums; (I) bongs; (J) ice pipes or chillers; As you can see bong and water pipe are explicitly listed as drug related. Now there are exemptions in 720 ilcs 600/4 but they are limited to tobacco pipes and other items related to the use of tobacco. Now this just brings back the argument that a “bong” can be used for tobacco. And while that is true, I just cant but that argument. I have seen bongs used thousands of times, and I can count less than a handful where it was used for tobacco alone. Just based on my one life, and what I know to be true, I cant buy such a fake argument. And I doubt anyone will come in here and tell of their story how they have a nice bong at home and only use it for tobacco. Because isn’t that the only argument that would pass muster, that these bongs are sold for tobacco use only, not that tobacco use may be incidental to the fact it is primarily used for marijuana? So once again, you can argue irrelevant facts about where the word came from, or what it literally means, but the reality is that bongs are used for a single purpose, and that is getting blazed. you are right about "bongs" being ilegal. Which brings another question up. Has America decided that the word "bong" is ilegal. How is that free speech.

I heard Amare Stoudemire would be going to the Hawks.

I dont trust espn 100 either. I was listening there station the other morning and it sounded like aliens were invading them.

they said it was 4 @ around 50. That could mean 4 @ 56 or 57

Latest news. Buehrle signs a four year deal for FREE. this whole thing seems odd.

If this happens. wow. I mean what a sweat deal. If the sox are still planning on trading him. The asking price for him just went through the roof.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 12:08 AM) Jenks, Go to any store on Belmont, etc and ask for a "bong". They will politely tell you that they are "water pipes" and not to call them bongs. Why? Because you cant call them bongs. It is illegal to sell drug paraphenilia, bongs are that. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bong Notice how there is not one mention of tobacco. A "bong hit" is a very specific term, it means packing up a fat bowl and getting blazed. It does not mean smoking tobacco. Im sorry, but I do not think I have ever seen some one use a bong for tobacco, it makes me laugh just to think of how terrible that would be. Anyway, I would argue in the alternative, that even if he was advocating hitting bongs of tobacco, (i hope atleast vanilla flavored or something exotic not just drum), it still should not be protected because I dont think students should be advocating tobacco use either. My stance is more along the lines that cigs are worse than marijuana, so Id be more inclined to rule against if that truly was his argument. Atleast if he argued that he was making a political stance about the legalization of marijuana and how the US govt has gained the right over time to restrict what a person can consume. Or maybe even that marijuana should be reevaluated compared to alcohol and tobacco, the 2 legal drugs, and why the US govt has treated one so differently than the other. But he wasnt doing that. He wasnt making a political statement, something that should be protected. He was trying to get attention and be a jackass. I guess I dont think that jackassery is a constitutionally protected speech. I love being a dissident just as much as the next, but when you do the crime, just pay the time. Can anyone honestly say that they would go to school unviel a similar sign and not think their would be some consequences if they were caught? At some point the law cant just be theoretical ideas, it has to be practical. The word "bong" is an adaptation of Thai baung. Which is the Thai name for waterpipe. When you use the word bong hit. Its the process of smoking out of a bong. More people in this world use bongs for tobacco than they do marijuana. So these people are assuming he is talking about drugs. They brought the whole issue of drugs up, the kid didnt.

Sox - 8 D-rays - 2

I'd like to see the Sox sign Buehrle to a 4 year deal w/ option for 5th. trade Contreras. Bring up Floyd Buehrle Garland Vazquez Danks Floyd

Id trade Konerko for Hughes, Cano and Cabrera.

Just when things can't get any worse for the Sox. They get better.

Gotta love Kenneth Star, always getting in the middle, trying to further his career. f*** school, f*** school, f*** my high school - The Replacements

we have to be able to get something better than this. Teams who say they arent gonna give much are blowing smoke.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 12:08 PM) Im still not believing any of this until it all comes out Check cnn.com, its on the front page

I dont get with all the tributes. USA airing a 3-hour tribute. HE killed a 7 year old and his wife. Why do we tribute that?

Ill take Crawford and Upton for Buehlre. Thanks D-Rays!!!!

I believe in Miracles - The Ramones.

KW is kinda in a tough spot. I know he won a world series. But in post world series land he will be known as the guy who traded Mark Buehrle. IF the players he gets back do good, people will be fine with it. If the player's he gets back suck or only play o.k. Than he'll never live it down.
