QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 12:23 PM) It's sad the Sox apparently have decided a 50 percent Paulie shouldn't be shut down. Hei's got to be hurt; he couldn't get this bad so quickly after dominating pitching the past couple seasons. This is on the Sox management team. Management should issue a press release stating that Paulie will now be a singles hitter for the remainder of the year.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) I don't care what he does after 'work' as long as he's not dogging it on the field. His wife is still with him? She must love that MLB salary. Carry on. You're probably a big Joe Paterno fan too.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 04:44 PM) I guess because he is now a White Sox you want to ignore the witnesses. There was more than one, and it wasn't like they were trying to take a professional athlete down, they had no idea who he was. If people now want to look the other way with this idiot because he's now on your favorite team, I suggest you quit watching sports for a while. Its affecting your judgement. And one question, if this was just an isolated incident where really nothing happened, why have they been going to counseling for years over domestic violence? Guys that hit women are losers. Brett Myers is a loser.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 03:34 PM) Just cause of the word "troll" in your post. I like the word troll even tho I am not one. I don't think there are any trolls on this site. I think a troll to some could be classified as somebody with an unpopular opinion who will never give up such opinion because it simply is an opinion. p.s. Last night's loss was huge. It's vital we come back to win 2 of 3 in Detroit after that stinker. We are 3-4 on this road trip; 3-7 would be very very bad. FYI - "Troll" is a commonly used word to describe someone who instigates and antagonizes in Internet conversations. It's not just some random mean word people decided to use on this site.

Finally received my Nexus 7 tablet from Google. Now it's time to finally purchase mlb.tv.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 07:33 AM) If I boycotted the products of all the companies whose members of upper management have differing/objectionable ideals, I would likely have to be totally self sufficient. This is one that gets much more media attention because gay marriage is such a polarizing issue that gets plenty of media attention by itself Most companies don't have owners/upper management that are so vocal about their stances.

Would people change their stance if they were actively trying to boycott interracial marriage?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) Here is the problem with this election: The best we have to offer -- that have a chance to win -- is Obama vs Romney. Obama is a liar and a failure. He's proven this over the past 3+ years by basically doing nothing he said he'd do in his previous campaign. And the things he has done, such as allowing all the bankers that robbed our system blind, have done nothing to curb said behavior. I would like to give him some degree of credit for doing something about healthcare...while I'm not a fan of the overall law, some of it's unarguably good for the people. That said, he also didn't write the bill...at all. Not that he's alone to blame in this. Congress (both houses), can share in everything that's come to pass equally. Romney...more of the same bulls***. We have 2 choices...again. Two bad choices. Dumb and dumber. Evil or evil. Voting for the lesser of two dumbasses is still voting for dumb. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. I select none of the above. Obama sucks. Romney sucks. I hope they both lose. All I have is....

This DirecTv / Viacom feud is starting to piss me off.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) I don't know how a lot of Sox fans on this board can watch that Trib interview and not love the guy. You can tell Ozzie is f***ing hilarious and he's classy, too. He said he respects Dunn as much as anybody in baseball for what he's done this year. He said something like, 'He didn't play for me last year, but aside from Thome and PK I respect him as much as anybody." Ozzie said he was classy with the media and fans all last year. What more do you want from ozzie? He was captain of the ship when we won a WS. WHo gives a f*** if he "quit" on the team with a week left or whatever. The owner and GM wanted him out. Oz made it easy on them. KW won that battle. What is so difficult to see about that? You guys that despise Ozzie so much ... he had drinks with AJ over all star break. You mean to tell me if you walked into that same bar you wouldn't go up to Ozzie and shake his hand and say, "Thanks for 2005, Ozzie!" I would. Might be the 1st time I've ever heard the word classy and Ozzie Guillen in the same sentence.

LOL at the trolling going on in Shell's "Let's Go" ad contest. link

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) He's 4 for his last 36. 26 for his last 115 for an icy .226 average. Only five walks. 1 homer and 7 RBI's. DeAza is really really hurting our offense right now, along with Paulie and Dunn's inability to drive in RISP recently. I get it. I just don't see what a day off or two will do. He had a few days off last week and is still ice cold.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 07:45 PM) DeAza should sit for 1-2 games just to recharge his batteries and get Danks some playing time. He just sat for several days last week (ASB).

Can someone remind me what Ted knows and how he knows it?

Orioles suck.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2012 -> 01:53 PM) Watching Moonrise Kingdom, the Anderson movies blows anything out of the water that I've seen pretty much all year. I concur although I haven't seen too many new films. I particularly enjoyed the score in this one.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 9, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) I like the Tara storyline with the transition from human to vamp and the I like the search for Russell. Everything else was garbage. For me to say it was the best episode of the season isn't exactly a ringing endorsement since the season has been a mess thus far, IMO. You're not on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen to Eric's sister!?!? Such drama!

Sorry to burst people's bubble but White Sox fans are no different than fans of any other team in any other sport. A ridiculously paid player who is stinking up the joint will typically be booed by the fans.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) But I will tell you one thing tho, home runs they come they go, wait a minute... What I really wanted to say, game threads are sure live when we're loosing! We sure are loose.
