QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:56 AM) Indians GM wins Executive of the Year running away if they manage to take the division. Still probably will win, like Hart did in 2005 despite the Sox winning it all. Or the guy in Arizona, Byrnes. 'Byrnes was fired, Kevin Towers is the GM.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 11:31 AM) I don't think there's much grey area to it. If you cheat, you're a bad person. I don't believe anyone is actually stupid enough to not know that cheating will directly hurt someone. Two the first part, I meant the grey area of defining what makes someone bad. As to the second, you'd be shocked by human idiocy.

I forgot to mention Praying Mantis and f***ing Daddy Long Legs. I freeze up if one gets on me. Also, this mother f***er.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:58 AM) You don't have to be evil, the devil incarnate, or possess the desire to punch babies to be a bad person. Cheaters are bad people, not weak. That's just a useful cop out. I hate grey area definitions. I think I'm trying to convey the message that my idea of a bad person is they knowingly want to cause harm to others. Some cheaters do that, true, so f*** them. Others are just selfish morons, but I don't think the intent was to harm so much as to get some, and they are just too idiotic to think about who it hurts.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 08:50 AM) 1) It contradicts itself. Christianity suppresses gay rights at the top but Christianity is 'no threat' to any at the bottom. 2) There are less adherents of Judaism than Taoism OR Paganism, so why doesn't Judaism get the 'statistically insignificant' dig? Cause we have dreidels and s***.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:51 AM) Um, yes it does make someone a bad person. When people say things like that, it makes me sick to think of the lack of morals in today's society. Let me reiterate that. A person who cheats has to do a lot to make up for it, but it doesn't make them the devil incarnate. Example: Tiger What he did was absoulutely, 100% wrong. There was no way he was going to make up with his wife over that. But do I think he has evil thoughts? No, it means I think he was weak, not someone who would go punch a baby. I hope that made sense.

f***ing Spiders and anything with just as many legs or more (minus Lobsters and Crabs).

Unless you abuse it.

QUOTE (The Sir @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) Ladies and gentlemen, meet Froma Harrop, aka Frumpy Harlot. The write up summarizes my thoughts perfectly. It is indeed courtesy of one of my favorite conservative sites, but that doesn't change the idiocy and outright hypocrisy of what Ms. Harlot said. The stupidity of her piece just boggles my mind. And even after being widely and rightfully fried for it, she continues to stand her ground. My favorite part is that, immediately after stating that civility is allowing others to say their piece (in a piece where she is skewering conservatives for saying their piece), she removes the ability to comment on her posts. Guess she doesn't like the whole civility thing after all. I'm really curious what the board's liberals think of this. I'm not trying to bait anyone, but isn't it embarassing having this idiot on your side? I'm embarassed by Sarah "I don't know one f***ing SCOTUS case beyond Roe v Wade" Palin and I really hope you guys are embarassed by Frumpy "I want everyone to be civil and have the ability to say their piece but YOU SHUT THE f*** UP!" Harlot. What sayeth you? Because of your choice of last words, and referencing Hobbits, let me respond with this. This summarizes my look of confusion right now. I don't know who the f*** Froma Harrop is, but I know saying "Frumpy Harlot" is about the intellectual equivalent of calling someone a doo-doo head. Of course you're trying to bait, you picked a liberal blogger/writer who only political activists would know, who isn't currently in the media for any controversy other than on a Conservative site, and asked if we're embarrassed by her? Are you embarrassed by...oh wait, I can't think of an equivalent because I don't waste my time digging around for conservatives to hate on. News flash; there are idiots on both sides. An overwhelming majority of idiots. When talking politics, most everyone is an idiot. You, me, the Fox News pundits, MSNBC pundits, etc. Are you proud of these people? http://calcoastnews.com/2011/08/fox-news-s...-death-threats/ See, goes both ways, except you have a lot more so I'm right na-na-na-boo-boo. Oh, also, this guy. QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) sorry, but you've pushed my buttons today - how doth thou feel about Mrs. Bachmann and her closeted husband in that regard? There are people who say dumb things on both sides of the isle. Difference is that Ms. Harrop isn't running for the flippin' presidency. Woo! Last line is important here. QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) Waaaaaa. Cry some more, bro. I've never thought much of Bachmann. Certainly not my first choice. And I never denied that both sides have their share of dumbasses. Sarah Palin is a dumbass on my side, and I hate her guts. That doesn't make Harrop's behavior more acceptable. Especially as the leader of a civility project. Let's address each line in order: 1) Ok, see, that's NOT how to create constructive debate. That just makes you look immature. Try addressing people as equals. 2) This is reassuring to hear. 3) This is agreeable! 4) True, but it doesn't change the fact that this controversy is limited to a conservative blog, so you're asking if we're embarrassed about someone most of us probably don't know. QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) sure it does, since she aint trying to become leader of the free world. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) how doth thou feel about Mrs. Bachmann and her closeted husband in that regard? You say that as if being gay is a bad thing. And since it is something you really have no idea about, maybe an 'allegedly' would be in order. This is off topic, but I have finally been able to read your avatar. Wow. Take a nice, thoughtful image and s*** on it much?

Who the hell is God Loves the Infantry? FlySox? Sounds like FlySox. QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 01:32 PM) It's an honor thing. Some of us have it, some of us don't. I'll leave it at that. Yes and cheating is despicable and wrong. What it doesn't do is make someone a bad person, it means they either had an extreme moment of weakness or need to just not be in relationships. And yes, some of us do have honor and some don't. But like everything, the variable is who gets to judge honor.

Mr. X and Trilogy of Error need some love in here.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:00 AM) don't. stop. get it get it

This makes me sad.

The wonders of the six man rotation.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:27 AM) I agree. Did anyone else notice the advertisements for Sunday Night Baseball last week when we played the Yankees- the do the side by side of a representative player from each team and our pic was of Paulie... wearing the vest jersey. Is that really their most recent photo of having the Sox on ESPN...? (veiled attempt to disguise my hatred for ESPN) That pissed me off.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 04:46 AM) C'mon Charlie Brown, kick the football. Oops, what happened? The winning run was the Indians' first since they scored two in the first inning. The game started at 7:06 p.m. and ended at 1:52 a.m. It was the Tribe's 13th walk-off win at home. They are 18-14 in games decided in the last at-bat. The Indians managed just three hits in the last 13 innings. The win went Frank Herrmann (3-0), the seventh and final reliever to pitch for the Tribe. If the game had gone to the 15th inning, Josh Tomlin was warming to enter. cleveland.com/sports Choo likely to come back next week. Sizemore, possibly back in September. 12 in a row at home against DET. Let's go, Indians. At least for 2 more games. Or do we want CLE to split with Verlander winning the final game? Sweeping DET would seem to be the preferable result, even if it keeps them in front of us. By the way, I bet not too many teams in MLB history have made the playoffs with a record of more than 5 games under .500 at home and more than 5 games over .500 on the road. Solutions? Stay in a hotel for home games and bus over together? Play in Milwaukee? Black/alternate jerseys at home? Switch dugouts? Tell Carlos to quit being "so intense" in front of home crowds, where he has sucked this season...and Gordon the last couple of years?? Trick Gavin into thinking home games are road games....like in "Goodbye, Lenin!"??? Before each home game, give every fan the hat of the opposing team.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) I loved the frisbee in 2004. However, regarding Jose, this was right up there with my favorite game he ever threw for us: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/play...b_tp350&v=2 NASTY! I miss the vest jerseys. They were f***ing awesome.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 12:23 AM) Sports Show with Norm Macdonald. Yes

I do want to know what got into those 3 though. They look confident all of a sudden.

You know what happened to Gordon, Rios, and Morel?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) Somewhere amongst the catch-all there's an ESPN post suggesting that Sergio's slider is the most dominant single pitch in MLB this year. It's the best strikeout pitch in the game this year, yes.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) I know what you're trying to say, and it's absolutely BS. No one on here acts like Getz is "the one that got away". People clamor for Daniel Hudson because he's damn good. I've seen a few posts lamenting the loss of Getz. Oh god, remember the Nix vs. Getz debates?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 8, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) God I hate LeBron. Glorious bastard, you beat me to it. Also, I agee that the Kennedys havibg a divorce would have been resoundingly bad. They needed to project that image of a beautiful, together forever couple.

Ok, got the game today. So is thing going to materialize?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 7, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) So I saw Hudson had a twitter, so I decided to tweet him that Sox fans wish he was still on the roster. He actually replied back: That is depressing.
