Hey did you guys know that Hawk played with Yaztrzemski? He was just telling a story about him hitting behind Yaz in Boston, like, as teammates!!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:09 PM) Game threads are a great place to get some insight, some laughs, and on bad days, to vent frustration. And lately frustration with the Sox seems to be very high. Ripping multi-million dollar athletes who are paid for my entertainment doesn't bother me, but the personal attacks on posters? Not good. I agree with this completely. As long as vituperations, no matter how obscene, are directed at players and not other posters, whats the problem? Its not like any posters on this site are personal friends with any White Sox players. They might think they are, but they're not. Why the super-sensitivity when attacks on players are made personal?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) Both. 'So and so' sucks is fine (I personally don't like it, but it's within the bounds). 'So and so' is a worthless piece of s*** who needs to go @#%#%^ and @$#%#$^#$%&^ is not acceptable. Even if the player is a starter with a batting average south of .200 who can't seem to turn a double play anymore?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) Everyone, I just spent some time reading through last night's game thread. I'm not going to call out names here - but most of you will know who you are. The tone is HORRIBLE. I don't care how bad the Sox play, or how good they play, or who sucks, or who doesn't. The personal attacks when people disagree will STOP with tonight's game thread. To disagree with folks is one thing. To state an opinion (even negative ones) on things, even in the moment, is fine. But the tone (re: personal attacks and the like) in those threads has gotten much worse in the last couple of weeks and it needs to stop. Consider this a blanket warning. Those of you who may have crossed the line and could see some time off will hear from us in the next day or two. Take it as a 'soxtalk growing experience' and come back ready to post constructively. Thanks. Kap Are you talking about personal attacks against players or personal attacks against other posters?

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) I can't stand Miller and Morgan. At least neither of them is Tim "there's no sour taste in Lidge's mouth" McCarver.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) Again, the Sox are 4th in the league in runs scored. If anything needs fixing, it's the back of the rotation, the middle relief, and Anderson's hitting. Uribe's bat is not the problem. Given that Uribe's career OPS is higher than Cintron's and that he's a much better SS, I'd say that you're the one with the piss-poor reasoning. Cintron is NOT an upgrade over Uribe. The title of your post (" Uribe, sucks at baseball") is further evidence of your lack of baseball knowledge. I'm sorry, but "the White Sox are 4th in runs scored" or "the White Sox have the second best record in baseball" arguements are bulls*** ones to use in defense of Uribe or Anderson's pathetic offensive production. Did it ever occur to you that the White Sox would be FIRST in runs scored or have the BEST record in baseball if either of these s***faces could hit their f***ing weight? Did it ever? At least Anderson's defense has been superb.......Uribe, on the other hand, cost them the Sunday Cubs game and nearly cost them yesterday's game. The only thing he has been good at lately is impregnating his wife.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) Quote from powerhouse Tigers pitcher Jamie Walker: "These fans here in Chicago are a black eye, cussing when there are kids around. I mean it's just bad for baseball." Thank you Jamie. We'll try and do a better job next time you're in town to make your stay more pleasant. Blow me, Jamie.

Ann Coulter is a (EDITED) Actually, her uncaring attitude is pretty emblematic of the political party she champions. Edit - that was just plain unnecessary. Don't do it again.

Well, I just found a new least favorite team......besides the Cubs, of course.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 12:34 PM) My thoughts are with Politte and his family as they try their best to deal with this problem. I hope all goes well and he can begin living a normal healthy life soon. Laying it on a little thick, no? Perhaps a Cliff Politte fund should be started in his memory in order to help other aging relievers who suddenly and inexplicably lose their stuff?

QUOTE(UC76 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) Did Uribe name his baby Alex? It works for a girl or a boy. Could I suggest Mario Mendoza Uribe?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 08:50 AM) BTW congrats to Juan and his new child. Yeah congratulations.....now start f***ing hitting.

On another note, reports out of Bani say that Juan Uribe's newborn baby has a spastic swing and he can't lay off ball four.

QUOTE(ChiSoxLifer @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) Is this a joke? I thought that was last year's rumor. Yes, I don't like colorizing my sarcastic remarks.

Another tip on ab workouts, do them on an empty stomach so you aren't bloated and you can tighten the muscles as you go through your routine. First thing in the morning, before breakfast, is perfect.

Any truth to the rumors from Bruce Levine about trading McCarthy and Crede for Chavez?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 6, 2006 -> 12:20 PM) You must have some muscle mass to you. I'm 5'11", 175lbs. and have a 32" waist, and I'm pushing it a bit there. Strange how this weight distribution thing goes. I help kids out where I coach with powerlifting, so I try to practice what I preach.

link Nuke, does the fact that William Calley was a murdurous son of a b**** mean that all our troops are murderous sons of b****es? I would say no, but if your logic is to remain consistant you would say yes, right?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) I just can't get rid of the fat around my stomach, I try and try and nothing seems to work. I'm not over weight or anything (6'2" 195 lbs) but I'd like to get rid of the extra weight around my stomach area. I've always had a belly so maybe that's just part of me, but I'm sick of it and want to try to do something about it. I bike a lot and I'm trying to eat healthier right now. I guess I'd like to know some of your ab workouts or suggestions for my quest at a leaner stomach. Thanks. Without good genetics, getting decent abs is pretty tough. I'm 5'11'' 190lbs. and my waist is a 32, but I work at it almost obsessively. It doesn't come naturally. I follow a low fat, high protein, moderate carb diet, with almost no processed sugar. I eat 6 small to mid-sized meals a day. As far as my ab workout is concerned, I go to the gym (5 minutes from my house) every morning before work simply to do abs. It takes me 15 mintues and I do 6 exercises, 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps each exercise. I do 4 lower ab exercises (hanging leg raises, knee raises), 1 oblique exercise (torso twist machine), and 1 upper abs exercise (crunches). I'll then go back to the gym when I'm done working and coaching in order to do my actual weight-lifting routine, which usually takes about 45 minutes. I do absolutely no cardio, but I'm very disciplined in what I eat (I'll pick at bad foods, but I won't eat a lot of it) and I only drink 1 night a week. Anyway, this is what I do and it works for me.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) So you really think the Sox will win the wild card eh? The Tigers IMO are not deep enough to sustain for a full season. Sounds similiar to what people said about the White Sox last year, no?

This season was an absolute dissapointment. From Tony's coma to Vito and Johnny Cakes to that boring Christmas party yesterday. Too much AJ bulls*** this year, as well. I hate that character.

Who da thunk we'd be pining for the days of Dumb-Asswhole Marte and Luis Vizcaino?

I hope to God he's alright. I think we all know how important 500 home runs is to the big man.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) And Marcus Lewis. Moore and Lewis will be playing D1 ball and yes, Warren will be very down this coming fall. I'm not gonna argue with you, congrats on your 2000 state title and your state runner up the past few years. Fair enough. I wasn't looking for an arguement when I opened this post......just wanted to congratulate some kids on a good season.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 4, 2006 -> 06:20 PM) Glad you added "in the playoffs" cuz they beat MS at their house in the regular season last year. Nice job winning state, oh wait. Refs called a bogus pass interference call. Tyler was throwing it up as he was being sacked on 4th down, Warren was about to INT it or knock it down in a group of guys ref threw a flag when the ball was up for grabs. Would of ended the game. Good luck next year without Mitchell Moore and Marvin Bembry. The window of opportunity has opened and closed. Anyway, talk to me when Warren finally reaches the quarter-finals..........
