Steve9347 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Ok, I whipped up a petition to send to John. http://www.petitiononline.com/rooney/petition.html It's a lot easier than message board signees, and we can also say that we gave it the major league effort trying to get Rooney to stay. we should make this its own topic at the very top of the soxtalk.com pale hose talk main area.

I think it would be cool if all the message boards really worked to get a nice amount of signatures. Like I said, the odds of it working are very, very slim, but we can at least say we tried and we can show Rooney that we appreciate all he has done for us.

BlackBetsy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) Lowballed isn't even close to what I would call it. The word used was "sickening", IIRC. What I don't understand is that Farmer will be back. If they lowballed Rooney, wouldn't they lowball Farmer, too? Or did Ed just have a different contract or did Ed just take what they were giving him? Interesting that they agreed with one but not both.

Dam8610 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I signed the petition. Who's the ASSHOLE who had to put all that garbage in and promote their assanine blog? Lowlife scumbag are the terms that come to mind when thinking of a person who would do something like that, and if this is a personal attack, I really don't care, because this person deserves every word of it.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I also think it's pretty cool if you go to www.petitiononline.com we're in the top 10 active petitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a dunce. I want John to get this petition somehow, and I think my best bet would be giving it to Brooks and then asking Brooks if he can forward it to John. Maybe I'll copy the html and get rid of G-man's mean comments as well by just making a new web page. Hey aboz, can you put the link to the petition in the first post of this thread?

Wise Master Buehrle Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hey, I've got an idea guys. Just to make sure everyone knows that this thread is here, we could get the forums to mass email their members with a link to the petition.
