I'd like to see the twinkies lose today and their next 4 games after that - a little kick in the groin metaphysically would be good for them

thanks!

can we do twinkie game stuff in the twinkie thread since we have the bears thing going here too - trying to make it easier for people to track what is what

was hoping to over it here for a thread separate from our game -

what? on the verge of a pressure packed sweep, why?

for damn sure!

everyone, thank you for kind words in respnse to my post.

I remember! Coming off 1967 down to the wire race, the 10 straight losses at the start fo the season were an anvil toss to the stomach and started the downward spiral that resulted in 1970.

he homers 3 staight games - who the hell does he think he is?

not everyone seated yet I am sure but sure looks like a bigger crowd than we had in September games in 2000 -

since you are another elderly geezer here, based on what you have posted, you have to be almost exactly my age. Those losses to the Senators were just the twisting of the knife in the gut. As I recall, nothing was settled until the last day, the very last game - someopne had a double header - and Detoit lost and Boston won and that is how it finished. And talk about no hitting - Yaz won the triple crown, right?, with a 301 batting average - think the kids today could follow the game when only one batter in the entire league hit over 300? Maybe that is where we learned patience!

another reminder of my age... I remember that race very well - every day checking the standings as soon as the Trib came - there were no sports stations or anything else back then - and I remember the feeling when we lost the doubleheader to the KC As. KC has owed us since then and it is now pay back time. Go Sox!

and the game is on the air!

I was reflecting on something yesterday that ncorg mentioned in a thread I read today - the fact that it is September and we are in a race. The last time that happened as far as I can recall was the 4-way race in 1967. In 1983, 1993, and 2000, we had enough of a lead that it was a matter of looking at the celendar to find a clinch date. There was no September in 1994. In 1977 we were falling totally out of it in early September. In no other seasons since 1967 do I recall us having any near misses. The prior races in which we were involved were in the 60s and 1959, and only a few of us here remember that. So this is special, and I can only suggest to enjoy it without pessimism and emotional roller coastering. We will lose some games between now and the end of the season, no need to panic every time we do. We will win some games between now and the end of the season, and can't prcolaim ourselves kings of the world when we do. Enjoy. Before this season started, it was only our hope and our dream that come September we'd be in 1st and in a race for the division title. This is what we wished for - enjoy it while it is happening. Go Sox! Let's win this!

and perhaps I alone here of all the posters at soxtalk have seen Ludacris live! No one at soxtalk is going to get banned for opinions. Not the soxtalk way.

William and Mary lost to Western Michigan - go Bronocs, everyone else sucks

educate us

was in Section 17 for CMU, opposite side of the field, Section 37, yesterday - My actual tickets for yesterday was Section 15, but I got the two Section 37 tickets from a friend and brought 3 high school kids to their first game at the Big House. I am watching Michigan Replay right now. Waiting for Coach Carr's comments on the upcoming game. I will for sure be at Indiana and OSU. I am hoping to score tickets for any of the other games. check out the fan forum here do me a favor, please - since UM is class all the way, let's avoid trash talking with anyone since the only talking that counts will be on on the field and we need to show everyone how class does it - without the trash talk.

Have you EVER posted ANYTHING without whining involved? baby, baby, baby, you don't need to follow me around like a 7th grade school girl with a huge crush on her idol trying to get my attention! I do notice you, and yes, I do love you too baby. Sleep well now, cuddles, and dream happy thoughts sweetie!

I will now since you asked me to! Anything you want! I will work on it today and see what I can post later!

the "time honored tradition" is an empty cliche. Players can be traded away, released, sent to the minors, whatever. And I disagree on the the second assertation. People may reasonably disagree on this issue. Baseball is an art, not a science.
