The Score pitches Ozzie Jr. as baseball talk host

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:52 AM) The irony is that most Europeans speak more than one of the languages that are spoke on their continent. They aren't arrogant enough to believe that the rest of the world should learn their particular language. Bingo. -
Nothing ironic about his name... He is actually a "mr."

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) I'm just speaking from personal experience here, that's all. I only know one Mexican imigrant that speaks english well and he's married to my mom's cousin. Othr than that, NONE spoke more than a few words. Several were here for more than 5+ years. Come one, learn a few sentances. Helllloooo!! Can you hear us in that hole you keep digging? -

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) No its about catering to a small group of the population that refuses to learn american customs..We contuine to cater to spanish speaking people, while every other ethnic background is thrown to the side.. Irish,Italians and Polish Imigrants helped build Chicago into the great city that it is..And they had to learn the Langauage as well as kept their own. They recieved no speaical treatment.. why should spanish speaking people? If your going to cater to one group you have to cater to all..Otherwise that is racist, there is no way around it. :headshake The above statement is so insensitive and oblivious to the true facts of current and past cultures it's amazing. And for you to get so worked up over a Sunday night talk show tells me there is some deep rooted hatred that is manfesting. For what reason, I do not know. I haven't heard you complain once about the Latin broadcast of games that's been happening for years now. Maybe you'll realize that the Latino population is an incredibly large one in the Chicago Metro area, not a small group as you tried to point out. That our manager, some of our coaches and players are also primarily Latino. That the 223% growth over the last five years in the Latino popluation in our area fueled is one of largest in the country and this immigration boom is recent. Whereas our Italian, Polish, & Irish influx came closer to the beginning of the 20th century. During that time, might I add, there was a huge anti-immigration movement in New York and Chicago for the exact same reasons you stated. They did not learn the language as soon as they hit Ellis Island or made their way into Union Station...it was following generation that took that step. We were not living in an advanced media lifestyle then, but if we were I am positive we would have had Italian/Gaelic radio boradcasts in the 1910-20s. This Sunday night show is for a large Sox fan base who are not yet comfortable speaking our language, but contribute through ticket sales, buying White Sox memorabilia, and add to the Chicago economy by working. So please, enough of trying to say that the focusing on one raceby The Score is racist when your comments are so perilously close in that direction, too. Thank you. p.s. The Polish National Alliance have their own Radio station in Chicago. Call them and ask why they are not broadcasting games. p.p.s Sorry about the rant, I work for a Latino serving Education Institution and this kind of talk gets under my skin... -

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) Well hopefully we can come to something with Crede, but I am not holding my breath. It still would not surprise me to see a deal involving Contreras for a 3B, reliever, and prospects. Is Eric Chavez available?? -

Bears sending six players to Pro Bowl

Brown and Ogunleye didn't have enough sacks to warrant interest, I guess. Maybe when the expected players decide not to show, they'll get picked for reserve. -
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) I will be the first to go on record to say the Dodgers will suck with that line up. I'll bet that group misses 300 games next year between all of them. Let me be the first to call them: The "DL" Dodgers

I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980! You tell 'em Grandma!!

3. A Christmas Story I just my "leg lamp" Christmas ornament for our tree. 2. Elf "Tickle Fight!!" 1. THE REF Mrs. Ribbie and I watch this classic every Christmas Eve after our son goes to Sleep. Ahhh...what a warm, romantic film. Caroline: I had this dream... Lloyd: Do we have to do dreams? Caroline: I'm in this restaurant, and the waiter brings me my entree. It was a salad. It was Lloyd's head on a plate of spinach with his penis sticking out of his ear. And I said, "I didn't order this." And the waiter said, "Oh you must try it, it's a delicacy. But don't eat the penis, it's just garnish." Dr. Wong: Lloyd, what do you think about the dream? Lloyd: I think she should stop telling it at dinner parties to all our friends.

12/20 arbitration deadline (Garland,AJ,Crede,Mack)
RibbieRubarb replied to SSH2005's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) This really hurts when you look at what the Yankees gave up for Villone. That's just awful. Why Willie or Timo weren't offered is beyond me. I'm not saying the Marlins would do a deal straight-up for either of those two, but, the f***ing Yankees gave up a non-prospect and were able to land a very nice lefty in Villone. Was Kenny asleep at the wheel on this one? :headshake After the last couple years, I think it's near hysterical to even insinuate that Kenny Williams is ever "asleep at the wheel" as a GM. -

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 06:31 AM) Roses are reddish Violets are blueish If it wasn't for Jesus We'd all be Jewish What we did when our kids were younger was traced the roots of Christianity and "celebrated", to use that word, the similarities in the faiths. I remember the first time I was at the service for a Jewish friend who had passed away. As the readings began, I realized they were Old Testament. That more than anything woke me up to the common beliefs we share. Remember the major difference is that Christians accept Jesus as the Messiah, Jews are still waiting. We share the Old Testament. Or to put another way, for most mainstream Christians, looking at Bibles, one would say, The Jewish is tooooooo short, and the Mormon is tooooooooo long, mine is juuuuust right. Old Testament, Jews, Christians, Mormons New Testament, Christians, Mormons Book of Mormon, Mormons So celebrate the roots, explore the differences, and expand the knowledge of the world. It can only help. Maybe a Jewish friend could come over and discuss not being Christian during the biggest marketing push the planet has ever seen for Christians. To quote Homer: " Whoa whoa whoa. I'm just trying to get in, I'm not running for Jesus" Seriously though, well said Tex. There is no reason not explore and honor the similarities between the faiths than dwell on the differences.
