QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 04:08 PM) horray only 3 games back You have the best sig on this site.

Just got back from the game. Nice to see all the Sox fans out there today. Buehrle pwned!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 08:20 AM) his point was "dont generalize". It wasnt about what 101 said about the rape, it was what you said about living in the appalacians. Point taken. My bad folks.

Was at the game today. Vizcaino looks like the guy we had last year. I definitely don't miss him.

I'll be there cheering on our boys. Hopefully their luck will change.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 04:46 AM) Whoah. You live in a big city? That's a messed up way to think. Uhhh...I'm not the one who said someone deserved to get raped. Not sure why you'd back that up unless you believe he's right.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 12:35 AM) He called him an ignorant tool. Hey! I'm the needler on this site!!

QUOTE(pale_hose @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 12:32 AM) Ya know, its only the 4th game of the season, but still...these last three games have been horrible. We started out great tonight, but what the hell has been happening to our pitching later in the games? Should we be worried? Or just not worry? I think tonight will be a wake-up call for us and we can pull our heads out of our butts...The Royals? damn... The next 5 games are key. We need to win at least 3 of these road games to get to .500 on the road.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) No offense, but when we put an outfield of Mack, Anderson (he's swinging the bat poorly, very badly right now) and Ozuna out there, we are not going to scare many teams. On paper that might be the worst OF in baseball.

Another Onion instant classic... Girls Gone Wild Released Back Into Civilization April 5, 2006 | Issue 42•14 SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX—In what wildlifestyle reformation volunteers are calling a "positive step," the first group of rehabilitated Girls Gone Wild were released back into the civilized world Monday, and early signs indicate that they are adjusting smoothly, according to the director of the group responsible for their rescue. "At first, the girls were disoriented," said Janet Ottley, director of the South Padre Island Wild Life Rescue Foundation. "They were frightened by the absence of familiar comforts such as overt male attention, binge drinking, and camcorders. But over time, we've seen improvement: so far, no reports of nipple exposure, so we're very hopeful." The 11 girls were captured nearly one month ago during their annual spring migration to the area and then put through an intensive rehabilitation program. "They have come a very long way," Ottley said. "When we first brought them into our clinic, they could barely function beyond baring their breasts, and they communicated solely through loud, sustained hoots." As their subspecies does every year, the Girls Gone Wild, roaming in packs, flocked to bars and clubs during the spring break migratory season. Lured by drink specials, promotional merchandise, and the chance to "go wild," they were discovered at Señor Chug Chug's, a nightspot where the girls gathered to perform a mating ritual in which brief nudity is exchanged for Jell-O shots and Smirnoff Ice trucker hats. Rescue volunteers identified the Girls Gone Wild by their torn tank tops, threadbare Daisy Duke-style cutoff shorts, hair extension plumage, and bright orange skin with patterned lower-back markings. Park ranger Jeff Macken, who assisted in the rescue effort, said they attracted the girls with bright lights similar to those of camera crews. "We had planned to catch them with a net, then sedate them," Macken said. "But we found that shooting them with tranquilizer darts was not as effective as taking a page from nature and putting Rohypnol in their exotic drinks." The girls were put through an intensive recovery program and, over several weeks, slowly phased back into civilized behavior. Trainers gently conditioned them not only to reduce breast baring, but also to shower alone instead of in pairs or threesomes, and to drink from glasses rather than from each other's navels. Despite the girls' early positive response, Ottley said that there is still a risk that they could revert to their wild state, so she continued to severely restrict their exposure to the outside world. "Any proximity to a D-list celebrity, a song by Poison, or a neon beer bong could set reintegration back to square one," Ottley said. In later stages, long-sleeved shirts and full-bottomed panties were reintroduced into their wardrobes. Finally, they were taught to engage in basic economic exchanges, rather than breast-jiggling for plastic beads. Critics of the program argue that girls, after they've gone wild, can never function at the same level as girls who remain tame, and, once reintroduced into society, pose a threat to non-wild girls. "Let's face it, they were in the wild too long," said Fort Lauderdale car-show organizer Daryl Dykstra. "At best, they might become spokesmodels, but only through hard work and constant validation." Dykstra reluctantly conceded that they might have some use as Hooters waitresses or tanning-salon clerks. Ottley disagreed, saying that Girls Gone Wild are "entirely capable" of rejoining society. "They will be tagged with radio-equipped belly-button rings to alert us of any sign of G-strings or wet T-shirts," Ottley said. "Continual monitoring is essential, because you never really know just how wild these girls could get."

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Not yours, I meant 101's post looked like sarcasm to me. That's what I'm saying. If I were him I would have made it super obvious that I was being sarcastic....if it really was sarcasm that he was trying to convey.

How about blaming himself for leaving Garland in for way too long?

This whole Ozuna error reminds me of the Cubs in game 6 vs the Marlins. Everyone blames that boob in the stands for the loss. The Cubs had ample opportunity to win that game just like we did today. We still had a nice lead after Ozuna's play. The pitching and lackluster hitting from that point on did us in.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 11:18 PM) With a righty on the mound tomorrow in Denny Bautista, Gload better be out in LF tomorrow if Podsednik and Dye aren't playing. Agreed.

If you have a finger the size of a 2 year old's I could have sold you mine.

Besides, Garland needs to be able to get past that gaff by Ozuna and stop looking like Glass Jon from '04.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) Speed sure didn't help Ozuna play LF any better tonight, did it? No guarantee that Gload would have gotten that ball with the wind whipping around like that.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Let's try Gload in LF next time please. A mediocre outfielder with less speed.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:31 PM) The odd smiley, the fact that it was a response -- I took it as sarcasm. And I very, very often disagree w/ 101. Fwiw. Well if it was meant to be sarcasm I would have went out of my way to make that very obvious.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) We just got trumped by the worst team in the AL central. We are the worst team in the AL Central right now.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) Ozuna in right not left OG. RM should of played LF dam OGknow your personel What the hell is with all those acronyms? You an I.T. guy or something?

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:24 PM) we still need another outfielder! Curious....do most teams carry 2 solid backup outfielders? One would think Mackowiak should be more than enough to help us out. Who'd have that that we'd have 2 guys down so early in the season?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Also, Ozzie often seems to leave his starter in the game an inning too long. I think he's obsessed with giving the starter an opportunity to win. They were tied 7-7 when Jon should have been pulled. I'm thinking Ozzie was hoping that Jon would get out of that inning so that we can get 1 run the following inning.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 03:15 PM) I guess we will find out won't we? But of course if she did go back in there totally on her own will, it's her fault if she was raped. Whoah. You live in the Appalachians? That's a messed up way to think.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) it's too early for me to be concerned right now, but this looks like a half-hearted ballclub something needs to whip our guys in to shape, even if we don't win tomorrow, atleast show up to the park and play Where the hell is Ozzie and his motivation? These guys look lackluster.
