Thank god Hafner and Sizemore aren't going anywhere for a long time.

Those aren't so bad. Manny will be known as a Red Sox player and Belle is too loony to support, but Thome and Lofton are long-time Indians so wearing those jerseys isn't too odd.

Not as odd as the time I saw a guy wearing a Dan Pasqua White Sox jersey.

Who, besides Dan Pasqua, would bother getting a Dan Pasqua jersey? The mind boggles.

dola,

Per an AP report, prosecutors are expected to decide this week whether or not to press charges against Juan Uribe in connection with the shooting.

No formal announcement, though.

Oh, look! A formal announcement!

That article also confirms the Man Soo Lee vacancy. <sniff>

Cora can't possible make as many mistakes on the bench as he did at third base, can he?

I hope not.

I once got the Orioles bullpen catcher's autograph.

What's he worst he can do, have Konerko run to the Gatorade dispenser?

In further news...

Razor Shines was recently canned by the Venezuelan Winter League team he was managing, and Brian Anderson has lost 20 pounds due to a stomach ailment!

I guess this may help B.A. decide whether he wants to be a power guy or a speed guy...hopefully, he can provide some runs!

Holy crap! The Sox signed an actual outfielder!

Sure, it's only Luis Terrero, but he's really an honest-to-goodness outfielder!

About swear-filter-evading time.

Didn't I see somewhere that he won Silver Slugger as well?

Which shows what a joke awards are. Crede over A-Rod? No. Sorry.

I'm still recovering from the depression of the 2006 season. Nice to see us go get some kind of OF, though.

I do think Buehrle should be held on to until the All-Star break. If the Sox are still in it, keep him. If not, trade him.

snooptoadman · 11-15-2006, 02:13 AM

trade everyone this team has no chance to overtake the twins or tigers hell they cant even beat the indians anymore might as well rebuild this crappy franchise. beirdo himself came into for last year with his 80 mph heater

Congratulations, you win for the most unintelligible and ridiculous post of the night, if not week.

It's rare that there's outright trolling on this board. When I see an example of it, I'm kinda shocked. That post is one of the more ridiculous non-alias/non-spam/non-D'art posts I've seen on these boards.

messenjah · 11-15-2006, 10:59 AM

Well, I was just reading through it and came to this comment. And it's like having a normal conversation with someone about something and then someone decides to come in and start yelling at you for no reason. It's very immature and childish. I don't know, maybe he thought he'd be funny or maybe one of the White Sox coaches slept with his mother when he was five and he's taking out his pent up anger. Who knows.

eriqjaffe · 11-15-2006, 11:43 AM

I'm still trying to figure out who "beirdo" is supposed to mean. I'm guessing Buehrle.

That was very strange. Did we somehow get crosslinked with the MLB.com boards?

Why, because he won an award that he may not have deserved? Or that he won the SS instead of the GG, which a better case could have been made for?
