Sox=Grindy again

[leonbt]

Alright, for all you sox fans apparently the sox have become grindy again and are going to try real hard this year thanks to the addition of . . . Nick Swisher (aka Aaron Rowand). If you listen to people like Hawk (and I don't know why you would) and Greg Walker this team fought harder in monday's loss to the Tribe than they have in any of the games the past couple of years. Further, this new attitude is directly attributable to the acqusistion of Swish who ostensibly is Bringing Grindy Back.

Recall, in 05 the reason the Sox won the WS wasn't because of great pitching and nevermind the fact that they hit a ton o' homeruns, no they won because they were grinders and the lead grinder was the man, the myth, the legend-Aaron Rowand (and his oft-injured yet trusty sidekick Mr. Leadoff Scotty Pods).

Then Rowand was sent packin and the Sox could not repeat their WS success-obviously due to Rowand's departure and Pods inability to carry the grinding load.

Well, never fear as a WS title is sure to follow in 08 because the fight and toughness has been restored.

I am sure those lazy guys like Konerko and Thome and Pierzynski are thankful that again there will be someone who will make sure they all try hard because they certainly were not capable of doing this on their own.

1.) No one listens Hawk.
2.) Sox suck.
3.) Ozzie beats his wife and needs anger management.
4.) Fuck the Sox.

You can change boards, you can shorten your ID, but you can't change that you are still an asshole. Ninety Nine years and no titles, how's that working for ya? Get a life. Go back to the SCRUBS thread and talk about the blowout today.

[idrinkthereforeiam]

I might be an asshole, but thank fuck I am not fucking pathetic White Sox fan.

[scotthawk]

Thanks for confirmng that you are an asshole even though you didn't need to, I already knew. I'm just glad you won't ever see a WS title in your miserable life. Your child won't either. You are probably one of those cubs "fans" that like them and go to the games because other people are doing it but really have no idea why.

[MoHawk]

Dude. If you think spank is an asshole, you may need to redefine what "asshole" means to you.

There are some things any baseball fan can tell you:

1) Hawk Harrelson is by far the worst baseball announcer ever. Not to mention an even worse GM.

2) The Cubs are going to win a World Series at some point. Law of averages. And if you say anything regarding a "curse" you're an ignorant moron.

3) The White Sox could win 20 straight World Series and it wouldn't matter. No one, outside of Sox fans, cares about that franchise.

[idrinkthereforeiam]

The Cubs will be winning the series in no time. Don't get your pampers in a bunch.

I'm sure a lot of Cubs "fans" devote an entire room to their team like I did. I'll be driving an 11 round-trip to a Cubs game on Sunday to be back in Monday for work. Yep, just your regular run of the mill Cubs fan.

I'm glad you knew that I was an asshole, enjoy your prize.

[scotthawk]

Missouri, there is a reason you live down there, shut up until someone yanks your chain.

[scotthawk]

"winning the series in no time".....I hope you meant that to be a joke. I think that's what cubs fans were saying at some point in each of the last 9 decades. Please tell me your "scrubs" room is not the nursery......you don't want to have a loser from day 1. Just 1 trip planned to see the cubs......come to think of it, that would be more than I could stand as well.

[idrinkthereforeiam]

Did I say just one trip? Not sure I said that... then again reading is fundamental.

Of course, it must be easy to get back and forth 11 hours. It's pretty cheap to stay in Chicago. And the tickets are just easy to get and cost nothing. I don't know why I don't get to Wrigley more often. It's such a convenience for me. Such a bad fan... yeah...

[scotthawk]

Actually, you did just mention 1 trip. Maybe I missed where you posted that this is a weekly or monthly voyage.

You're right. It's because I found a good job here.

Oh, and go fuck yourself dude. Seriously. Whatever is happening with the kindergarten teacher is between me and her...no one else. So you'll excuse me if I'm not updating you on everything that happens.

Again, in case I wasn't clear enough. Eat a fucking dick.

[scotthawk]

How funny, it seems I struck a nerve. DJ and "good job" don't belong in the same thought IMO. Go on air and tell everyone how you were "accosted" on a message board. Pardon me if this DJ thing is just your non paying hobby and the "good job" you speak of is something I do not know about.

[MoHawk]

Make fun of my job all you want. I don't care. I enjoy it and make enough money to support myself, and someday a family.

Again, whatever happens between the kindergarten teacher and myself is strictly our business.

[NOTTHOR]

Yo scott - keep the ladies out of it. Wives off limits, and maybe we should keep girlfriends out of it too. Mom's are not off limits though.

Prolly shouldn't knock anyone's job too hard either. At least we all work or are looking for work. As long as the guy ain't a freeloader, you oughta give him a pass.

Sox won today, let's just rejoice and be happy about that. Though most Cub "fans" are raging douches who wouldn't a game of baseball if they got dropped in the middle of it, that stereotypical label prolly wouldn't describe spank. He has a fantasy team for Chrissakes.

[scotthawk]

BTR - maybe I was a little jumpy cause the Sox had lost 2 straight, glad to see the W today though. I had stopped just short of bringing his girlfriend/wife into this but a couple more posts and I may have went down that road. I won't bring up his Mom in a negative way because for all I know, she is a nice, sweet, and respectable lady.
