QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:57 PM) You think that sucks... I'm outside the CSN viewing audience (can't get CSN with cable) but inside the national blackout area (can't watch it on ESPN/MLB Network when it's a national broadcast either). MLB blackout is the dumbest thing ever/

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:37 PM) Just think what would happen of Obama called all the people who didn't agree with him idiots. I'm sure that would go over well. But Ozzie, he does it, and its just Ozzie being Ozzie. Which is just as annoying as Manny being Manny.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 02:55 PM) Gotcha. I thought I was just missing the joke or references. The only jokes we're "It's not the Twins beating us" "Adam Dunn is a disappointment" "Alex Rios is gonna try 100% guys, I swear"

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 10:19 AM) Not to be a dick, but I don't see how this was funny. The whole time I was just thinking, "what the f*** is this?" QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) Eh, it is a welcome change from the fire everyone stuff. ^^^ What 2k5 said. It seems the past few days we've had to fight for the sites reputation, watch a deadline go by, Ozzie call us idiots, etc. I felt like something different would help.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 07:05 AM) Soxtalk could have fun with this one. We need to make a consensus one and everyone send it to him.

"Crap! I missed the lineup posts, didn't I?!" _________________________________________ Made this because you knew sooner or later, the actual Germans bombed pearl harbor thing would pop up (I did it last year...). But we all seem extra pissed this year, so I threw a twist on it because I feel like we all needed a laugh.

"THAT GUY JUST SAID I FATIGUE EASY. I'LL GET HIM IN THE SIXTH!" "OK Adam. Seriously, I'm throwing you Mark Buehrle fastballs. Down the middle. And it went there. Straight up. The f*** is wrong with you?" "I've been practicing this swag walk for years. I'm in!" "Oh s***!" "Sweet lord! RUN SUPPORT"

"I got this. You can count on me." "100 mph pitches are EASY." "We're all in! ...the field"

"I'm in!" " ¡Yo me listo!" "Oh man I'm IN! Man I-I-I'm gonna hit FORTY homeruns! And I'm gonna walk! Man I'm gonna be the best designated hitter ever! Hit balls into motherf***in' OUTTA SPACE. Aw yeah I'm in!" "This is gonna be a long year. God help us." "..."

What the f*** happened to the SoxTalk I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to root for this team, we might predict more terrible moves." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Mauer? Dead. Morenau? Dead. Pavano? Dead! "Silly Quin! The Piranhas aren't our problem this year!" What? "Yeah, we behind the Indians and Tigers!" Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Zulu nuked Lexington and Concord? Hell no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... the tough go All In! Who's with me? Let's go!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 03:02 AM) JoeCoolMan, I'd guess? That's what I was thinking. No offense, Joe.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 5, 2011 -> 01:13 AM) Lindsay or Reed or Infante, just try ANYONE else. Thanks! Who is the first to say "THE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER" next year if we still have Lindsay?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) Guillen's time is up, no doubt about it. However, the idea that him continuing to bat Dunn clean up is holding this team back is ridiculous. Nothing Guillen has done has damaged this team as much as Dave Wilder, KW's best friend, being indicted. In fact, if you make a list of the five most damaging moves to this franchise since 2005 ALL of them would be on Williams. Yes, also the five best moves to. Because he's the GM. And listening to Ozzie on Thome was easily the most damaging.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 06:42 PM) Fixed. I like greg, disagree with him sure, but I like the guy.

Trey Wingo just treated LeBron. "This isn't the encouragement buisness, it's the honest analysis buisness."

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) A manager is only as good as his bullpen. Then what's going on this year, last year, and '08?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) I can only go by what the article says on ESPN. If it was originally 1 sentence then the author messed up. I did read the first post in the thread, but because it did not match the article as posted on ESPN, I wasn't sure if the poster formatted it correctly. I never rely on a quote in a thread from an article because of people parsing, taking things out of context, so I went straight to the source. Gotcha, but yes, that was how it initially read.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) You'll note that the author broke it into 2 paragraphs. As Im sure you are aware, this indicates a break in thought, and youll notice that the paragraphs do indeed have 2 different thoughts. Paragraph 1, quote 1 is referring to Soxtalk and how sometimes you "have to have tough skin not to reply". He then moves onto a second paragraph, which indicates shift in thought. Youll notice that in the first paragraph references the specific, the second paragraph is general. Notice, "it gets kind of scare sometimes with the stuff people write", does not say "on the website" or make any reference to Soxtalk. I LOVE Jon Greenburg's tag. I wonder if I bump into him at Bears camp if that counts? But Badger, it was initially one paragraph. It's broken up now. If you bothered to read the first post in the thread, it read like this: It reads very different now that Greenburg has edited it, which is much appreciated.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2011 -> 11:23 AM) Hey, maybe we could work something out with the Sun Times. They love that kind of stuff! You have now made me laugh twice in the span of 2 minutes.
