  1. 6 hits off Seanez and counting.
  2. Except for the IF hit, everything has been hit hard off Seanez. 5 hits
  3. Snow can throw the leather! nIce diving catch!
  4. Seanez 4 batters 4 hits 4 runs. He will be fighting with Riske to keep a spot on the staff.
  5. Clement looked very sharp tonight. His sinking fastball had them swinging and missing a lot. Seanez is in the game now and has given up 3 straight hits. He stinks.
  6. It's official, and Clement is breezing
  7. Clement is sailing. Great work from a #4 or 5 starter.
  8. If it is still raining, it is not heavy.
  9. Youk needs to get on a roll.
  10. Nice hit by Lowell. He has no problem with bat speed. His problem is with the off-speed stuff.
  11. Pitching change. This guy Dubois gave the Sox trouble last year.
  12. Please don't tell me what I think. That is offensive. Your assumptions about what I think do not logically flow from anything that I have stated in any of my posts on this thread, but your comment about the man named "Butcher" is is by far the most absurd application of logic in this thread:thumbdown .
  13. Nobody on this board is telling anyone when he or she should or should not be offended. I have stated numerous times that people have the right to be offended (see post # 25). My point, which I keep making and which keeps getting misconstrued as you have above, is that people should consider the context of a statement and the actual meaning of the words before they decide if someone meant to be disaparaging. That being said, many people are distracted by buzzwords that heighten sensitivity and they don't really listen to or read what is said to determine the meaning of the statement.
  14. Your analogy is not valid. Being a dry cleaner does not equate to socially unacceptable behavior like drunkenness or criminal behavior like being in the mob. Only elitist snobs would consider it demeaning to be a dry cleaner or to be called a dry cleaner.
  15. I still miss the Scooter.
  16. She just has a very annoying voice, but her and Sterling are hoot on the radio. Waldman tries to be professional with her lisping annoying voice, and Sterling's affected baritone makes his homerism comical. They are particularly funny when the Yanks are getting spanked.
  17. There is a fundamental difference between the following statements: "all asians are dry cleaners" and "all dry cleaners are asian" The second statement is not a stereotype of asians. It might be a stereotype of dry cleaners. In some cities or towns the second statement might be close to accurate or completely accurate. It doesn't mean that anyone thinks that Asians are only dry cleaners. That would be a break with sound logic. As for your comment about the Sikhs experience after 911, that had nothing to do with the stereotype that they wear turbans. Wearing a turban is not an offensive stereotype. It is a fact, and one that should be respected. The offensive stereotype that resulted in the violence against the Sikhs was that "all muslims are terrorists." Unfortunately for the Siks, the ignorant people that committed these acts also believed that anyone wearing a turban was a Muslim.
  18. That was Vaughn's listed weight, and it was most likely his Rookie weight. He was playing at 260-270 towards the end.
  19. It's not as simple as that. Here's a stereotype: All Sikhs wear turbans. Is it offensive? No. Some stereo types are offensive, some very offensive. Others are not.
  20. I like Shitfield better.
