Talked to Sarge today

[USSoccer]

Why don't we just bring in Carl Lewis to play RF? I hear he can run pretty well.

 

He's old and homosexual.

I don't think that comment was necessary or factual. There's no need to bring up someone's sexuality.

 

Sorry if it was inapporpriate, but i'm pretty sure he's admitted he is.

 

So what? If Ellen Degeneres could hit 40 HRs and play a solid CF, I'd be begging JH to sign her up.

 

PC police on full alert tonight, huh? I gather from this thread it is OK to call people [expletive] (since no one made a peep in response to that) but calling someone homosexual really is going over the line.

 

Because his post implied that sexual orientation somehow had bearing on his ability to be an athelete. It's a completely offensive term, and offensive post. I'm embarrased to have read it.

 

Also, if you want to get into a grammatical battle, the word "[expletive]" can be used without derogatory connotations to the mentally handicapped. I don't like using the adjective myself, but it's not offensive on it's own, depending on the context.

Please, everyone, let it go. Now. In the mean time, if somone would PM me a link for this other issue, I will handle it. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Sorry. I must have been typing that prior to your first post on the matter. Consider it dropped.

Does anyone really think Sarge would have any idea of who Hendry is after?

 

Do you think Sarge knows who Hendry is?

[Careless]

I work at Ohare aiport and asked him who he thinks the Cubs will have at shortstop next season. "hoping for Furcal his range and arm are a huge plus for are pitching staff" I asked what he thought of Nomar returning "Nomars injuries has really hurt his range and ability to play shortstop". Asked if he had to bet who would be playing right field . " I hope we can get a guy like Jacques Jones he runs really well, and can catch the ball" These are rough qoutes he was sort of in a hurry but I hope he's wrong about Jones.

Holy crap, is EVERYONE in the organization going to use this excuse to pick up crappy hitters?

It's not just hendry's offseason goal, it's our new organizational philosophy!

I wish this happened to another team so I could really laugh about it.

Who cares?? He's fast - the only qualification needed to be a great leadoff man in Dustyball.

[Magnetic Curses]

"and can catch the ball"?

 

I get the feeling that this is some sort of back-room catch phrase that hendry, baker and the cub coaches decided to bring in fashion over a game of go fish.
