My main question is this.. Do they do the O-E-O Magglio thing there?

I'll be there, somewhere in the upper deck, but I think my buddy and I are thinking about getting there around noon and waiting in line for the bullpen sports bar. That'll still be a first come first serve seating area on the patio there, right?

Look for the walkway between the Sox clubhouse and the stadium, then stand back there. There will be a fence between you and the players, but I was able to get Big Hurt to autograph a jersey for me when he was walking to the park from the clubhouse.

I thought Comcast was showing like 18 spring training games, is that right?

I wouldn't dump Boras. Boras is in the best position to take what Crede did in the postseason and cash it in with millions of dollars over several years. I'm sure Joe Crede likes being in Chicago and enjoyed winning a World Series, but the fact is he isn't a diehard fan like us, he's a professional, it's his job, and he probably wants to make as much as possible doing it.

I definitely understand where they are coming from. When I got the DVD, I was certainly surprised that there wasn't more coverage of the Astros. I obviously didn't complain about it, but I did notice it. Hell, they followed Sox players, I'd have liked it just as much to have some behind the scenes stuff of the Astros. Seen what their locker room was like after the games and what not. But it's all good, I love the DVD, and I'm going to go pop it in right now.

I just hope that when Frank's face in unveiled on the wall at US Cellular before the first game he plays there in a new uniform next season.

I'll bite on the devil's advocate, picture Thome hitting .207 with 7 homers and being injured for the majority of the season next year. And our centerfielder not getting to every fly ball.

I've heard the mystery team was the Dodgers too, but I don't have anymore info than that.

IF Rowand went to the Yankees he'd probably win the next 6 Gold Gloves.

That is really awesome.

Another thing that might be kinda cool would be to get a flag pole with championship flags on it from 1906, 1917, and 2005, it'd end up being pretty big though.

I know those are just drawings, but those green seats will look SO much better than the bright blue.

This isn't celebration related, but I didn't think it merited its own thread and this is a picture thread. My friends little bro goes to Auburn, and they visited the Auburn Sports Hall of Fame and saw this....

do we know dates for sure? unfortunately, having a job that I start monday, I'll only be able to possibly make weekend games.

Looks like a tight game, I just hope they have lots of teams and lots of stadiums. And they better get the tink of the bat down! Does anybody know how long the exclusive contracts EA has with NFL and 2K has with MLB last? They are the worst thing in the world for sports games.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) Is ladder golf the one where you essentially have a ladder with 3 rungs on it, and you throw these...ropes?...with balls on the ends of em, and if you hit it right it will wrap around one of the rungs? I saw some kids playing this type of game after the football game saturday; first time i had seen anything of that nature. I believe that's it, I've seen it just about every Saturday at 4th and Kirby in that parking lot and I know some people were playing it last spring at the World's Largest Softball Tailgate, but unfortunately I don't know how it is played. I stick with bean bags, but I think washers is better.

Go the easy way and buy a set off of Ebay!! White Sox bean bag toss set on Ebay

I sent one in early in the season asking Hawk about whether or not he really invented the batting glove and how it happened. He didn't answer it during the game, and I wasn't able to watch the next game, but my buddy told me when he turned the game on the next day Hawk was going on and on about having invented the batting glove, so I guess it's likely he was answering my question, but I don't really know.

Just shows that you can have all the hype in the world, but you still have to work your ASS off to become a pro athlete.

We can certainly go all the way, if you think about it, now is the time to go through a bad spell, let's heat it up in September and ride the wave to the World Series!

We also still have six games against Cleveland, if we win all those, there goes 12 off the magic number.

I was reading on Page 2 a fake interview of Ty Cobb, which is very funny, but at the end Caple has his Box Score Line of the Week: Caple Article on Page 2 I guess Freddy had it coming!

I thought really hard about trying to do this. My biggest advice to you would be to try to get sponsors. Write a ton of letters, see if you can get national restaurants like subway or something as well as maybe gas stations to sponsor you. It sounds like a long shot, but I'm almost positive I've heard of it being done before. Also, get in touch with your local paper, their sports section may be willing to give you money if you agree to write some sort of travel diary or something along those lines that they can publish in their paper. All of this seems like small possibilities, but it doesn't hurt to ask, and who knows, could save you a TON of money. maybe even contact MLB.
