Samples of White Sox Fans on the Twins.

Well, it is official. The White Sox got lucky and beat us. Being the brave sort I am, I browsed the South Side Sox game thread and there isn't a lot of love for the Twins. In fact, it is all hate to the point that Sox fans were half hoping that a brawl would break out during the game. I don't think they were serious but there was on yesterday in the St. Louis/Cincinnati game and a brawl would have serious reprocussions on the AL Central Pennant Race. And this includes allowing Detroit to get back into the race. The South Side Sox gamethread wrap after the jump.
This first one concerns having dinner with a certain Sox announcer and I guess it was a promotion covered during tonight's game.
Win dinner with Hawks? Who would want to have dinner with Hawk that would be the most fucking annoying dinner conversation ever. "I tell ya what, this guy eats steak better than anyone i’ve seen in my 70+ years in eatin’ STRETCH GET ON BACK THERE, HE LOOKS UP, YOU CAN SEND HIM TO THE BATHROOOOOOM! YES!"

Who wouldn't want dinner with the Hawk. Not me. I rather have one with Dick Bremer or John Gordon. Frankly, I would love it if the following was said:
Here come's White Sox's Management to throw him out the door and tell him to never come back YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
This second message board posting needs to be put in context a bit better. It came during a thread where the Sox fans were telling each other which Twins player they hate the most. Needless to say that Jim Thome got some votes and another wished death on Joe Mauer, but this message really gets me right here:
I'll add as most hated Twins, Bert Blyleven and Dick Something or other, the Twins TV announcers on Fox Sports North. Listening to them pronounce Kubel and Cuddyer and Mourneau and Mauer sounds like two guys in an ice fishing booth . . . Ya der, ya know.
Twins also rip off pick to click with something they call "pick the stick."
by VAChisox on Aug 11, 2010 8:10 PM CDT
I don't know about you, but this isn't in good taste. Dick and Bert state player names perfectly. Saying the names of our players is perfect when you know what you are doing. What do you want? A team full of Jones' just so that Dick Bremer can pronounce names the way you want? Well, you might just get what you want because a team of 25 players the last name of Jones might just beat your ass. Finally, if you are going to rip on our announcers, do it right and use their last names. This includes Dick Bremer who has a history with the Twins dating back to 1983, all as announcer. Finally pick the stick and pick to click are the same except the White Sox game isn't scored.
Note: The second quote is my own saying after White Sox Announcer Hawk is thrown out of a resturant for being a asshole.

Pretty sure it was mentioned in our game thread about having a brawl as well.
And as mean-spirited as some of the SSSer’s are, they’re very entertaining.

There was a good one about model-training in that was quoted in a recent game thread
Also love your signature.
I have to hand it to Sox fans, they sure are good at channeling the pent-up anger from their ugly, dirty little lives into colorful blog material! If only I could do so much with so little! (fyi, that was passive-aggressive mild-mannered Minnesotan backhanded compliment)

Staying Out of White Sox Business
by benlinus on Aug 12, 2010 7:30 PM PDT reply actions
But the point that I am trying to make is the following:
The South Side Sox should be trying to have some good natured fun, not hating on any team including the Twins and their announcing and front office teams. The quote about Dick and Bert was taken out of context because it was a part of a larger thread where the fans listed Twins players that they hate. Now I hate the White Sox as well, but the thing is that at the end of the day I personally respect the White Sox players including Mark Burehle, John Danks, and others including Frank Thomas. What I don’t respect is that fans throw hate toward players on other teams.
What I don’t respect is that fans throw hate toward players on other teams.

Oh I can totally throw some hate.
I hate Alexei Ramirez. He looks like the meth-addled child of E.T.
I hate Gordon Beckham and his smug, rich kid face.
I hate Mark Kotsay because, eff him that’s why.
I hate Brent Lillibrigde because I have to look at him.
I hate Slider. WTF is that thing supposed to be? It’s like Sid and Marty Krofft’s vision of the Phillie Phanatic.
I hate AJ. I hate Bobby Jenks and his douchebag goatee.
Hating is awesome.

And honestly
I’m glad they hate us too. Sports hate it what makes sports fun. It’s not the same when you’re playing the Oakland A’s and you really just don’t give a crap.
Honestly
Hate is a word that is ok when somewhat used in jest, but I seen the thread section in question and one of them wished death on Joe Mauer. Last I checked, Joe Mauer’s only real crime was making sure that the Twins would beat Chicago.
Stop it!
Nobody wishes death on Joe Mauer….. Just an extreme knee injury that ends his career.

I don't know that poster's name, but he wished death on Mauer as plain as day
Besides, I sent the text of the thread in question to Jesse and that is an issue that will cause problems with that other poster. I would never wish death to another player in any sport. I will hate other teams and be glad when they lose, but at the end of the day, I respect them and their players.
Here is the quote in question:

I don't think that
SSS poster was referring to this. When somebody writes “die mauer” it generally is not in connection to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

While I agree with the sentiment that Jessy S isn’t at fault for not googling this or for not understanding the German reference, look a little more closely.
The “SSS poster” who suggested you google it probably DID have that in mind, since he is the same guy who actually wrote it.

counterpoint
Buehrle grew up following the St. Louis Cardinals. On December 5, 2009 Buerhle attended an Albert Pujols charity fundraiser. He bid and won an opportunity to manage the Cardinals for a day at 2010 Spring Training. Buehrle then gave the prize to Mickey Cunningham, a girl who has Down’s Syndrome.
I say this not to make Buerhle look good, but to make sure Bobby Jenks takes his rightful place as King Douche! Long live the nasty pink stubble of blown saves!

See this is where TT differs from SSS
b/c if this was SSS, I’d be comfortable making joke about Buerhle giving the prize to Mickey b/c w/ her illness he knew he could not eat her brain…
but it’s not SSS so I’ll make the joke and worry about being called an insensitive ass
I guess Jenks can be King Douche and Buerhle can be his queen…
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone - even other fans - disliking Buehrle. With sincere curiosity, I inquire as to why.

http://stickandballguy.com/blog/tag/mark-buehrle/
http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2009/07/more_buehrle_love_and_his_minn.html
I like the line about how he hates that the Twins beat him w/ hits and that the Rangers have figured out a way to cheat w/ their scoreboard.
There are other examples out there. He once said he’d rather miss the playoffs b/c the Twins are just going to lose in the division series and he doesn’t understand how the Twins win b/c the White Sox are the better team on paper… basically to me he puts the “bitch” in Bitch Sox…
I think we all like to have a team or player to focus our dislike on and Buehrle is my guy, although people here are making a pretty strong case for Jenks…
One thing's for sure
Jenks is the largest douche…

Flagging a comment like that, especially on another site like SSS, will probably have no effect at all.

enough to look at the context of the comment, maybe glance at my profile (which hasn’t changed in 4 years) for context about the commenter, and has enough wherewithal to solve this occam’s razor:
a) it was a pun on your star backstop’s very apt last name, or
b) i must be some knuckle-dragging mongoloid that wishes actual death on people over something as inconsequential as success at sport.
though, realizing the reputation sox fans have made for themselves, maybe that might be a tough one.

between hawk harrelson, mully and hanley, and the SSS sheeple
there’s not a lot of shining insights from the chicago sports braintrust.
oh, and ozzie guillen.
Please indulge me with your glorious insights.
Please instruct me what makes a great sports mind. This triumvirate of Hawk, Mully/Hanley & SSSheeple really has me dumbfounded and lost.

did you hear ozzie guillen talk to the press after the twins knocked him up for 5 hr's
he was already talking about detroit, couldn’t answer a question about the game he just played, stung too much.
someone should tell ozzie to cheer up, at least he can beat a AAA starter with a minor league era over 6.
oh that really hurts
i mean oh what will the Sox ever do if they can’t face Perkins every game? The horror!

The way you convey your arguments in type, reminds me of the way Ozzie conveys his thoughts in English but he tries harder.
A couple points of contention:
1. Why are you listening to Ozzie’s press conferences if you already know you will never glean any shining insights?
2. Ozzie gives the Twins enough verbal blowjobs, he simply wanted to move along. Why rehash an obviously painful occurance?
Jesse S
if you can’t figure out the extreme hate is in part out of frustration and jealousy of some of the past Twin success I can’t help you man.

True
But I would expect hate from Chicago fans. But giving our announcers the hate is where I draw the line. Especially that remark about them sounding like they were in a icehouse which was the full point of that post. If that poster left it at them saying the names of players, like Joe Mauer horribily, I would have left it at that, but he never included the last name of Bremer. On the other hand, Ken Harrelson invites critism because he is a homey for the White Sox. Also, he and another person have said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to good plays. That other person is Marv Albert who has a longer announcing career than him.
Then don't draw a line.
Because drawing a line on a message board log is about as meaningless as watering your lawn with urine.

If a Twins fan is offended by waht he/she reads on SSS
Then stop reading the f’n thing and quit your damn whining.
I read SSS and laugh. A lot of their posters are neanderthal potty-mouths, but most of them are smart and funny. If I am going to post over there I feel that I would be a fool for getting sucked into their fun/hate and I had better post something either VERY funny or very respectful and thoughtful.
Just worry about yourself and what happens here. If you can’t handle what they say stop reading it. And for GOD’S SAKE keep your complaining to something that has a least a semblance of meaning. Complaining that a random poster can’t remember what Dick Bremmer’s last name is? Holy crap, you make whiny emo douche bags look good.

yes he did
Most of the people over at SSS are a lot of fun and very smart. Of course, there are some that aren’t so great and I could name a few on our own blog. “Die Mauer” – why the hell get so worked up about that. Sending it to Jesse and everything isn’t going to do a lot, because a) I don’t think Jesse really cares and sees that little post as a problem and b) I don’t think Jesse could do much aside from emailing the head of SSS and telling him about it.
Maybe you should try calling the cops and telling them that there is somebody in the south side that wants to kill Joe Mauer!!! Talk about overreaction!
