LVSoxFan Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Doesn't everybody think we've wasted enough time on Mariotti? And now we're going to get him fired because we don't like what he says. Gee, that sure sounds like another ballclub I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeman89 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 02:17 PM) Please stop comparing a sexual preference to a race/nationality. They are far far far from the same thing. Do you know that idiot, moron, and imbecile are also offensive? Do you use those words? They have double meanings as well. They were once used as classes of mental retardation. You use the terms now, I am sure, as a why of calling someone stupid. However, you use this word to refer to a mentally challenged person and the person's family will be very offended. The words have double meanings. Many words do. *** refers to a cigarette, a drudge, a peon, a british student, and a sissy or girly man. Put what he said in context and you determine the meaning. It didn't sound like he was calling him a homosexual male. Just my opinion. This from Mariotti's article, but that's it. Obviously, Guillen hasn't learned his lesson about using such ugly language. He hasn't because his boss, Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, is an enabler who is letting Ozzie run amok, whether it's offending homosexual groups that want Guillen punished or saying someone should "shoot the [bleep]'' after Jason Grimsley served as a steroids informant in a federal investigation. Reinsdorf, as I pointed out last year, is co-chairman of Major League Baseball's Equal Opportunity Committee. yeah...i take what he says with a grain of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daily Herald is what is on my front porch every morning. Too bad your're not in my situation. I've been reading free Sun-Times for over a year. A plastic shield covering a Sun-Times dispenser near a Metra station I commute to is loose, so every morning I simply reach in and take one instead of paying .50. Well over $100 dollars which hasn't gone towards Mariotti's salary. Just doing my small part. Edited June 22, 2006 by Flash Tizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm getting at is that Jay is no longer content with just irritating the s*** out of every club in Chicago, now he's actually going to screw with the team's management?

Or is Zoom thinking of someone else? Do I know you, HJ? I was never suspended from Soxtalk. For being a "douche" or anything else. To answer your idiotic question--not that you deserve an answer--I was banned from another site during the swoon because I posted about how, if we're going to get through this month, we need to start doing a, b and c or else it ain't gonna happen--and then posted what those things were. This was deemed too "negative" or whatever and off I went. So yes, neither you nor Zoom know what you're talking about. So who's the douche now?

I'm not defending the "jagbag," I'm stating the facts. And if you think you're being a superfan by standing by Ozzie saying things like "f****ing ***," then whatever dude. "we ALL thought they were gonna choke in September, and that was hardly Mariotti alone that was talking that up in the press" Apparently you didn't say that on page 4. Usually we is an inclusive term. Again, I never said that I never complain. However, recently I haven't. You said yourself that you complain when things aren't going well in your last couple of posts. I don't see how that's putting words in your mouth. Honestly, I've only seen you on here when there is something to gripe about, so I guess you could say that you haven't been complaining this year. Really, where are all of these "great" articles? The negative ones out-number the positives ones around 3:1 the blog thing, and it's been a lot worse in the past. Apparently Reinsdorf, Hawk, and Ozzie all have gripes with him for no particular reason. I never even mentioned Ozzie's quotes once, so I don't know where you get that last part. Honestly, I don't give a s*** what Ozzie says unless he's talking about me or my family. Indifference doesn't really count as defending. Mariotti is my problem. I don't see any reason to endorse that guy in any way. He blatantly goes after people whenever he feels like it and whines when people say something about him. I have no respect for Mariotti whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) I encourage you to read more Ditka books. The players absolutely loved him. He praised hard-working individuals to no end. Walter Payton used to call him up frequently and do his best "Mexican Whore" imitation. Ditka thought there was some chick out there who was obsessed with him and wanted to f*** his brains out, but he later found out that it was just Walter Payton. That's just one of the many examples to be found in great books such as "In Life, First You Kick Ass" and "Da Coach". Ditka had his fair share of players that loved him, he also had his fair share that couldn't stand him. His support of scab football hurt his credibility with a lot of guys.

Dick Allen Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) Oz will get canned when the team sux, not because of anything that comes out of his mouth. I don't think Ozzie will ever get fired for poor performance. He supposedly almost left after last season, so he may quit at anytime. The only way he doesn't leave on his own IMO is if he says something so overboard the White Sox have no other choice. I do think Ozzie gets a lot of his english from his sons. They probably still call each other and their friends ***s. Its not a defense for Ozzie, but as they get older and speak a little more sophisticated, their father probably will as well.
