The Critic

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) Hey, I have a couple new ones also. I guess a true Sox fan buys one hat in his lifetime. Did you shop for Cub hats with John, too, Mr. Sensitive?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 07:15 AM) Plus, it wasn't that JR wouldn't give him the tix. It's that CusacK wouldn't cough up the. . . TWO DOLLARS! I know that after JR turned Cusack down, John was hoping Jerry wouldn't........... ...........Say Anything. I'm sorry.....

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 07:13 AM) I started to go there and stopped. I fear Ozzie would have reacted more like a fan. Don't ever censor yourself, Tex! I didn't even mean what I said in a bad way - I love Ozzie's press conferences!! The BEST reality television going today!!!

Wow, that's a nice clean sharp Sox cap he's wearing. How DOES he keep his hat so clean after all these years of loyal White Sox fandom?????

I'm trying to imagine the Ozzie press conference if this had gone against the Sox....heh.....

Or, as I overheard him referred to in a discussion here at work this morning.... "AJ Burnitzski" :headshake :banghead Obviously a couple of baseball experts in this place....

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 06:35 AM) If AJ really thought the ball hit the dirt, then why did he take a step towards the dugout? Good deke AJ. I'd have to assume that AJ thought Paul was going to tag him, then when he didn't he realized what might be going on. Crazy situation but obviously we're way less upset about it than Angels fans. Imagine this place if that had happened to Buerhle/AJ in the TOP of the 9th? .....oh, the humanity.....

QUOTE(spataro51 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) ch 7 news just said that cusack will be at the game tonight in the us cell box with his sister. You can get in anywhere when you roll with The Joker.

"We, the police, just have no idea what offense to charge them with," Keo Norea Phy said. How about two counts of aggravated f***tardery, or perhaps voluntary s***headitude? Jeebus...... :headshake

Cardinals are my favorite NL team. No other team comes close. So...................I pick the Birds.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/base...ex.html?cnn=yes Nomar could be the Cubs' new closer, he already has 2 saves!

Que seraaaaa seraaaaaa..... Whatever will be, will beeeeeeee....... The future's not ours to seeeeee.... Que seraaaa seraaaaaa.......

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Let's see if we can everyone into their seats before the intors. My sources confirm that David Yow will sing the anthem tonight. I'll be there belting it out. Nice little obscure reference there, LMB. I can appreciate it, I've seen his band several times back in "the day".

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) Here's the solution: Don't pay the $25 fee? Fine. Fire at your house? We'll put it out, but since you didn't pay for the "insurance," we will bill you for services rendered. They do it for ambulance service...why not fire service. But standing around and watching it burn is ridiculous. This. And have the fee for services rendered be whatever the cost of putting it out is. If it cost the FD 1,000 bucks to gas the trucks, pay the firefighters and shoot the water, then the bill is 1,000 bucks. Have that be law, so non-payment could be seen as a criminal offense.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) I'm soured on Marte as well. But this is the time to put ALL of support behind ALL of the players. Save your boos for Soxfest if he's still with the team. And if you were on fire, you might have a different perspective. Well, then I'm just gonna STOP, DROP and ROLL, BAYBEEEEE!!!!!! I never heard nobody say "Children, if you ever catch on fire, STOP, UNZIP, and FLOW"....

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) I don't care WHO he sings for, he is the best there is. Besides it was singing at Blackhawks game that really made him famous. I would love them to bring in Wayne Messmer. keep him. and his wife.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) How the hell can you justify booing anybody associated with this team? Damn, some of you people that call yourself Sox fans. I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. sorry, but two years' worth of Mike Remlinger impressions have soured me on Damaso. I'm hoping that a few rounds of boos ( AFTER the s***ty performance, not before ) might inspire the Powers That Be to go out and get a lefty who can get people out, or AT LEAST to try the one who HAS BEEN FIRST! ...and I don't want nobody pissin' on me, maaaaaaaaan.......

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) I'll be at game 2 and if they bring him in during a crucial spot, I'll cheer. And if he screws up as usual, I'll boo him off the field. This is fair IMO. Cheer the player, boo the performance. Perfectly acceptable.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) You sound like Sammy Sosa again Critic. Ozzie + steroids + rum bottle + cork + disdain for teammates + fake "beisbol been berry berry goo too mee" attitude = SamME

Lemme tell joo son theeen, main.....eef yoo don' ween thees fuggeen seereees, joo go hon'. JOO WANNA GO HON'?? AYE DON' WANNA FUGGEEN GO HON', MAIN!!!!

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) I was at a local sports store today, just scoping out some of the White Sox gear, when I noticed that all of the AL Central Champs t-shirts with players names on the backs were on sale for $7.50. I asked why this was, and under infielders they forgot to list JOE CREDE. I don't know if this was universal or if it was just a random batch of shirts, but I felt pretty bad for Joe. They even included Blum! But no Crede! s***, I'm just surprised you found a store that actually had AL Central Champs stuff. All the stores by me CLAIM to be sold out, but I've never seen one shirt or one empty rack at their stores.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) Hey critic I was just looking at their site, do you have to register to get the tickets on saturday or is registering for the chance to win them? Entering the raffle for the chance to buy.

I'm on the Cardinals email list, and today I entered the drawing for the opportunity to purchase World Series tickets. They're not going to have many available, like 4,000 per game. 4 ticket limit, btw.

They must've gotten swamped with orders. That was a good deal.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) well, when i was a baby... my head was where most peoples anus is... so whenever i forgot that fact, and tried to sit down.... i did some brain damage... after the doctors transplanted my head to where other humans have theirs... i was fine so, to anwser your question countless times. (thats good smiley use... take note please) Flashback to hi8is's youth: Mom: "hi8is, get your hand out of your pants!!" hi8is: "MOM!! I'M TRYING TO THINK!!!!"
