QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:51 PM) I'm sick of Rios too, but just wondering how do you expect that to happen? No other team is dumb enough to claim him off waivers and do you really expect Reinsdorf to agree to spend $37 million over 2012-2014 for a player not on the roster? If you have to bench him then do it, but either way I don't see how he's not on the roster for the future time being. Agreed. If anything, see how he responds to new coaches after Ozzie, Walker and the crew are dismissed. Maybe someone else can get something to click in his head. You don't just dump him.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) To hear his players say they lost faith in him as the manager Seeing that I've never seen a team publicly state that about a manager, Ozzie would be here until he retired.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) Writing "gay" in that sense means you are a p****, a sissy, a wimp. To the extent it is disparaging toward gays, it is calling them sissies (which is how many gay men affirmatively act). Overblown. I'm glad you're around to let people know whether they should be offended by something.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) I LOVE ads because when I explore them - it benefits the parent site. Catch my drift? You kissing up to become an admin or something?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Yeah, if your definition of "patriotism" is jingoistic nationalism with a good helping of militarism, call me unpatriotic. QFT

I didn't even know there were ads on this site.

I also sported this one for a while. It was after Dye made some recent wall climbing spectacular catches and missed a game because of spider bites (WTF?!?).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) Oh s***, I wonder if I can find that somewhere. That's my all time favorite on this site.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) I'm sorry, but knowing how Liberal you are -- I just can't buy that...however, anythings possible...so I'll take your word for it. That said, back when you voted for the republicans -- you were what, 18 and knew next to nothing? Now that your ideology is set in, I'd love to see you cross over...which won't happen again. Exactly. Just shows you that liberals are smarter.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:44 PM) The Jurassic Carl? I feel like I just saw that a couple weeks ago. Oh. Must be someone that doesn't post often.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) No, I don't believe that at all...people absolutely have minds of their own, they just don't' use them. But I do believe if we were able to examine your voting record, it would read as pure party line votes. IE, you've never crossed the line and voted for a single republican candidate, and you never will. That goes for 99.9% of the people I know that vote, and 99% of the people on this board.

Someone had a Carl Everett/Dinosaur sig here that I really enjoyed.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:36 PM) But you will. Ok. You're the only person in the country with a mind of their own who can vote whichever party tickles your fancy at any given election. If we only had your strong will.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) Also, I love that this new guy is just crushed for pages and pages because he stereotypes liberals as being anti-patriotic So you agree that he's baiting/trolling. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:18 PM) but you guys spewed (and continue to spew) how much bulls*** about members of the Tea Party? (as one example) Yeah. Those topics are never discussed/debated back and forth. Everyone is asked to remain silent whenever a blanket statement is thrown in here. We need to also be silent to this new guy's biases.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 02:13 PM) I think Ozzie is good for the game and good for the Sox. I do not support his being fired. So you think he should manage here indefinitely? I mean what scenario could you see him getting fired over if this isn't it?

^f***ing asshole EDIT: Meant for milkman

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) For those that 1) want Ozzie fired before the season ends 2) think there's a very slim or no chance to win this year anyway what is the point of firing Ozzie now, rather than waiting until after the season? if Jerry/Kenny know they are firing him, they are already looking. Joey Cora or Harold Baines running this team helps no one and doesn't accomplish anything. I think there is still a 10% chance this team has a run in them with Ozzie, but a 0% chance if you fire Ozzie. I think there's talent here that might get motivated to do something with a shakeup in management. Just think 2004 Astros as I pointed out in other threads. They fired their skipper when they started out terribly and wound up making the playoffs. I think something similar can happen here since it's in my opinion that Ozzie has lost this team.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) I was on it for a few minutes yesterday - have no idea what the difference is. Looks exactly the same. Exactly the same? That's a bit of a stretch IMO.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 01:10 PM) Exactly. Look at the results of this poll. Basically the entire fanbase has no faith in this organization to do the right thing, and that is pathetic. The vast majority of fans are starting to become alienated. This is a very bad thing. Should do wonders for attendance.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) Its because this board has had a double standard for a long time. Basically anyone who isn't left wing is picked at until they say the wrong thing, and then everyone cries out for a suspension. You guys can't handle anyone who thinks differently, and everything is done to get rid of them ASAP. Usually it takes longer than this, so bravo. It's one thing to have differing opinions but what about the rules of the board when it comes to name calling? Since this person shares your belief you can let that slide?

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) Ah, should have expected the typical "military hate" card sooner or later. And you wonder why I suspect you of being unpatriotic. It's a real shame that we are sworn to protect people of your caliber who don't realize the immense good created by the military. You're pathetic. LOL So anyone that doesn't think like you is pathetic. So open-minded. I think that you're pathetic because you don't share my exact beliefs.
