  1. Sounds like they are dumping on tax burden on the Region residents. As a former region rat myself, I understand their frustration.
  2. Harry learned that his St Louis contract was not being renewed while he was broadcasting the last game of the season. He was told by the sportwriters, not by any member of the Cardinals management. You can hear it all on you tube. Supposedly he was fired for sleeping with Gussie Busch's daughter in law. I loved the fact that Harry attended the subsequent news conference with a 6 pack of a Budweiser rival.
  3. Whatever happened with the Yankees outfielder who was suing the Sox after he ran into an electrical box along the foul line?
  4. Interesting. Where in Portage would they want to build a stadium?
  5. This sounds like something George Costanza would want to be installed in his office and the clubhouse. " If they feel cleaner there, they will feel better and they will play better"
  6. Especially if the water is ice cold
  7. Knowing that Berman was rooting for the Red Sox made winning that series even more sweeter.
  8. Sorry to hear this. Herrmann,Melton,Allen and now Wilbur Wood all passed. They were all heroes to me as a young White Sox fan. May they all rest in peace.
  9. I told my wife in my best Jerry Seinfeld voice " That's a shame"
  10. I would have been highly aggravated if I had to endure an extended Cubs post season especially in light of my team's dilemma. But I still encounter people (wife included) who always ask me why I can't root for another Chicago team to win a championship. I guess it's a Sox fan thing and they don't understand. Anyway my mind keeps drifting back 20 years ago when things were better
  11. That announcer's shouting is getting on my nerves
  12. Results is what matters. I don't care about anything else unless that are total jerks
  13. Who was the Chicago sportswriter that claimed that Jeff Torborg was battling "personal demons" towards the end of his White Sox managerial career? Mrs Torborg said he was constantly writing untrue statements about her husband.
  14. I was thinking the same thing. I can't stand watching my team getting spanked by the New York Yankees.
  15. Didn't Dick Allen face abuse by Philadelphia Phillies fans and actually demand to be traded from there? I could easily see why he preferred to be inducted with the White Sox where he was adored and treated with respect. I believe his relatives who are Pennsylvania residents pushed for his induction as a member of the Phillies.
