QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) The system has to be inexpensive for the employer to use. It can't take weeks or even days in most cases. At the low end of the employment process spending hundreds or thousands of dollars per employee, to hire 100 temporary workers, doesn't work. Bingo. Why would a small restaurant spend a s***load of money to find out if their busboy's paperwork is legit. It'll never happen.

We have guys in the pen that have cobwebs all over them. Put em in with a 5 run lead.

I love the Gooch. Except when he tried to beat up Arnold.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Is Lance Johnson still available? We know where Chris Singleton is.

Double steal??

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) This year = this week. Touche!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) lets trade him then. Unfortunatley only Kenny Williams can trade a player. Soxtalk members cannot.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) He's scored a run and made a nice sliding catch today. He is hitting .061, has zero steals, and already has 2 errors this year. I'd say that's not contributing much this year.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Pods. Not contributing in any way so far this year.

Definitely a momentum swing in this game.

99% chance AJ swings at the first pitch.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Bad managing is a hallmark of so many world champions. Give me a break. Oh come on. So he can do no wrong? This is a poorly managed game. Period.

Wtf does Ozzie wait so long to pull a guy who doesn't have it?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Ya, that. I said it yesturday, but I have a feeling Soxtalk is going to get ugly... Worst case scenario we go .500 on this road trip. Last I checked that's a good thing. Just need to improve the home record.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:40 AM) he struggled in 2005 in 2 big league starts, but he also led the minors in ERA Minors schminors

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:15 AM) This guy is going to challenge us with a fastball. My prediction today is we bring out the bats big time. Konerko will have a huge day. So will Dye. I have the same feeling. Big offensive day.

My first game thread of the year so hopefully it brings good luck. Garland: 0-1, 15.19 Verlander: 1-0, 0.00 TV: CSN Chicago Radio: WSCR 670 I'd love to bring out my broom for the first time this year.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 06:53 AM) For the most part these people are working jobs that need to be worked. Expelling them and crippling several industries, including our ag programs, is shortsighted and stupid. Don't you understand? This is a very black and white issue. They must all be expelled a.s.a.p. in order for our country to thrive. There is no grey area.

"these people" eh?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) NO s*** At one point Farmer said "Babe Shelton is due up next" and he paused, waited for Singleton, then prompted Singleton "You remember, right?" at which point Chris said very plainly(I actually laughed at this one) "Yes, Chris Shelton is Babe Shelton", and then Farmer procedes to explain (for the 4th time, everytime he came up to bat) that his teammates call him Babe Shelton, because he hits like Babe Ruth(no way!), and then when he came up to bat? "And Babe Shelton steps to the plate." I really feel for Chris to be stuck with that man all the time. LOL That's priceless. Zero chemistry.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) How quickly do we forget 2004 where he led the American League in road ERA? Remember his home numbers? Didn't his ERA clear 5.00 or whatever? Then we have a gang of numbskulls on here talking about how he's nowhere near an ace. Always remeber these things, Rock. Holy crap! What's up with your sig? Is that the old testament?

He'll wet his pants after Thome takes the first pitch he sees 450 feet to dead center.

Phew!

Lets go Bobby! Lower 3rd of the order here.

Throwing a lot of pitches this inning.
