The Critic

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:33 AM) I can't wait to get tickets to see my world champion white sox play in baltimore this year. and hopefully new york and boston. I want to see at least three sox games this year - even if I don't make it back to Chicago before Christmas. Rex, tickets are already on sale in all three of those cities, did you know that? You don't HAVE to wait!!! Get them NOW!!! Boston only has standing room for the Tuesday and Wednesday games against the Sox in September.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) Another one of the great repeater posts. How many times is the lineup going to be posted(in a new and original post) by the time ST games start? I am guessing about at least 3 times per day Hmmmm.....I haven't seen it as a POLL yet.......

Seems like somebody needs to stay in the house!

Next thing you know they'll say you should buy a new copy every time you want to listen to it. I can hear it now.... "The record labels put a lot of time and expense into creating these discs, and to use the same CD over and over and over, with no time limits or limit to number of plays, really isn't fair to the poor, poor media conglomerates who do such a fine public service providing these goods to the consumer. A one-play per disc concept is really the most equitable way to show gratitude to the record companies, so we're calling for such a concept today."

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) I've never heard that phrase. You've never heard the phrase "Pearl Harbored"? really?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 11:10 AM) "Kid Rock, I am ready to fight!" "Kid Rock, I am ready to sword-fight!"

It's a little deceptive to use a picture from 2002 and a recent one and say OH LOOK!!! SHE GOT FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!", but even still, that's quite a different looking woman in that second shot. ....she got a LOTTA booty, though....

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 10:22 AM) They are saying that even copying cd's is illegal, wonder what they think about my copying of DVD's. That would be the MPAA's gripe. I'm sure they're thrilled....

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) Will they wait to mail all ticket until March or just season tickets? The email confirmation I got from Ticketmaster today for my single game purchases say: "You will receive your tickets via: Standard Mail-Your tickets will be mailed to your billing address and delivered no later than 48 hours before the event in a plain unmarked white envelope." But I could easily see this being standard boilerplate Ticketmaster email, and not taking in to account that that tickets are being sold preseason. Yeah, they use that "48 hours/plain unmarked envelope" line for all their events. I don't think they'd mail out single game tickets before the season tix, but I can't say that for sure since I've never been a Sox season ticket holder before this year.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Points of b****ing next season. -Paul is way overpaid and not preforming. -Why did we trade for an injured Jim Thome -Vazquez sucks -Our bullpen blows -Anderson is a bum -This team has no heart -Ozzie doesnt know what he is doing Just wait, at one time or another, I expect all of these topics to be posted. Don't forget the oh-so-clever Judy Garland posts...

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) You're just jealous that you didn't get mentioned. It's cause nobody likes you. I appreciate the words though Yoda. Thanks! Popularity = overrated.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) i'm suprised you guys didn't say my morning jacket...IMO surely the second best american rock band going behind wilco. I haven't been crazy about the little I've heard from My Morning Jacket. And I REALLY don't like Wilco.

I'm happy with the Sox getting Jim. Maybe Carlos would have been happy here, given the strong Latin presence, but who can say for sure? All things considered ( what the Sox would have given up, money issues, etc. ), I think KW made the right move. I hope Jim's elbow and back are sound, that to me is the only question here.

Sosa may be a decent man ( I don't know him well enough to say he's not ) but nothing in his public persona suggests humility to me. Proud? Yes. Arrogant? Seemed like it to me. Selfish? I'd suggest so. Gone? Looks that way.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) There are still only five bands I'd see there. Same for me. Petty Folds Costello maybe Earle maybe CYHSY just to see if they're worth the hype.

My hope is that the memory of Sept. 11, 2001 stays respectful and low-key. I would never want to hear people say "Oh, that poor guy got Twin Towered" the way people use the term "Pearl Harbored" now.

I like my phony Michigan State basketball jersey I got from them. It's comfortable and not bad material. It just has "spartans" on the front instead of the actual State logo. For $7.98, you can't beat it.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) I have to say that I’m glad you old timers (FlaSoxx and Kid) are here to counsel us with some very interesting and trendy posting. Although (I admit) there are some bands that you guys talk about and I’ve never heard of, it is very pleasing to see some appealing discussions. And for that I merit you guys. Ahhhhh, the backhanded compliment....it's a dying art form.....

The thread title should read: Sosa Seriously Considering The Fact That NO ONE Thinks He Can Play Any More The End is near. Soon Sosa's only "house" will be.....his house....

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) I used ticketsnow. I think he means season tickets, Mike. and HEY, when can we expect the change to SS2K6? ...are you on some other calendar, like the Chinese? When's the SS New Year???

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 09:08 AM) WrestleMania is April 2nd, same night as Opening NIght. I doubt AJ would of been able to make an appearance. That's why it was an unsuccessful attempt...

Got 3 lower reserved for 9/18 vs. Tiggers. Just wanted to be able to go to one game with the wife AND kid, not the wife OR kid. Also wanted to sit in the lower bowl once this year. I already have two UD seats for this game, so I'll be selling those on the Swapmeet later on if anyone wants them. I HAD three together for the July 3rd game vs. Baltimore, but TicketPieceOfs*** f***ed up the order on the payment page. Next time I looked, they only had pairs. Worthless f***ing crap company.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) why was that green? good god i thought i loved the white sox but guess i'm wrong... I greened it to show CC that I'm just messing with him. I think The Wall looks cool.

Just use your Shrine Wall as a wallpaper...
