no he wasn't the knuckleball, if I recall correctly, wasn't around then

I'd argue strenuously for Appling to be included in that exclusive category except I already voted for Frank and I have to get ready for a friend's 30th birthday party -

welcome to soxtalk, and thanks to beastley for noticing that first - sorry I mised it - welcome again! I think you meant to link those sentences differently. In 2000 Frank got screwed out of the MVP but he did win it in 1994.

I agree with you (hell, where did this money come from, ahhhhhhh....) but you will catch hell for it... let me be the first to say, Hawk says: "Don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it" as well as what you field and what you let fall...

"na na na na" is repeated 3 times in the song "Sox" has 3 letters we played in 3 World Series in Comiskey Park (lost 2, threw 1; 2+1=3) "Jas" has 3 letters The Sox host "Dog Day" and both "dog" and "day" have 3 letters each

I thought it was you - maybe it was Aboz? Wasn't me, damn it. I never win those things.

The greatest white sock of all time was the first Reebok pair of socks that I ever got, they were heavy duty, very comfortable when doing floor aerobics and spongy soft for step aerobics and the right sock was not as good as the left white sock which was the greatest white sock of all time. Since the thread title was edited a bit, I could say that among the White Sox greats, Fielder Jones, Luke Appling, and Frank Thoimas would be in my top 3 and I would go with Frank.

thanks for the reminder :

taking down names????? hmmm..... Since I have never been that great of a fan of KW and I posted that he is on the upward part of the learning curve and I gave him props for that, where do i fit in on your list?

no, lets not do that. oh please let's not do that.

this is closer to where I am at. Both parties are stocked with the rich. In some very real ways, the costs of campaigning are so steep as to be beyond any but the alrady well heeled. in our congressional district, the incumbent has $4.5 million in his campaign fund - we are trying to raise $750,000 - it helps if the candidate is rich and ours isn't. You know how much work it is to raise $750,000? Look at Illinois where you had all those rich people (like Oberweis and others, on both sides) run for the Senate, in part, becauuse they can afford to run. On a partisan note, it looks a whole lot more to me that I see Bush and company try and pander about being "just folks" when there is no way that they are. Someone with another political perspective may see it differently. That is all a matter of persepctive so no biggie. What I was trying to say is that it gets tiresome when one party or one candidate is bashed. There are differences between the parties and candidates to be sure but I do gave a problem with the labeling of one side with things that apply to both. And that Kerry has a political family - as if there are none in the Republican party? I would not mind at all and would welcome a call to sacrifice in this country. I haven't heard that from anyone. The in party right now is spending money like we have never ever seen and the deficit is blown out of control and the deficits are obscene and the last one-party controlled spending bill has more pork in it taht ever before in US history. There is no sacrifice there. The other side, the current out-party, has not issued any call to sacrifice. I agree with that other party that we need to readjust the upper tax brackets again back to where Clinton had them. But I would like to see some national sacrifice - like anything else, if we want it, if it is a national goal or priority, then we have to work to acheive it and that includes some sacrifice (that includes everyone and everything). This big time spending spree as if there are no limits and no sacrifices scares me greatly for the sake of this country.

Gload plays a lot of 3 Dog Night in the club house. Timo first got lucky at an Epiphany party, known in some parts of the world as 3 Kings Day. CLee's favorite Bertoldt Brecht play is Three Penny Opera. Joe Crede thinks he looks just like Robert Redford in 3 Days of the Condor.

the word gets tossed around here very loosely. I am right now feeling really sorry for G W Bush. To think how he started from nothing, being dirt poor, and having no family connections whatsoever, and totally unable to use the office of the presidnt to raise well over $200 million this last year for his campaign, oh, the poor boy, the poor, poor, poor boy And to think that the evil Teresa Heinz had her first husband's plane shot down and murdered her first husband, Sen John Heiniz, who was the richest member of the Senate (and a Republican, but thats ok then) just so she could transfer her money to a Democratic household, the evil b****. And since we are privy to the personal lives and deepest emotions of others, we all know that John Kerry and Teresa Heinz have no love for each other, it is not a marriage of love, it is only for money. Surely, just like Laura Bush did, Teresa should have made her intended give up all his money before marriage and be dirt poor again while she did the same... that is the Bush way, right? Maybe Laura can teach Teresa how to live on food stamps. When Bush appointed the wife of a Republican Senator to be Secretary of Labor, they had given away all their money to the poor, right? And a prenup! How evil! I know that that the millions who have them are evil. I shall spit in the face of the next couple with children from prior marriages come into the office for a prenup! I will know they are evil and doing bad things. I will also know that no Republican would ever get a prenup so they must indeed be wealthy evil liberal Democrats ( redunedent word use there). The one side is so pure and the other side are such aren't they.

KW certainly seems to be getting better (more experienced) in his job, which is good, there is a learning curve and he is on it, some GMs never get it

this game thread was not started early enough (like 36 hours pr more) to be any good what is the winning % of the game thread starter in starting game threads? I am very concerned about all of this.

score? inning?

if that is a No to the concept that Crede has played himself out of a job, I agree

that's why I want to see what he can do for us, now - might as well give him a shot

I have always been a fan of ARow but I wouldn't mind seeing what Timo can do

Joe will be fine in time

that was the Brothers Gibb at their most Beatlle-pseudo-replica-esque as they could get

Gotta Get a Message To You I actually once loved that song... hold on, hold on... and they did the immortal To Love Somebody which their version was s*** but look what Janis did with it - I think disco made the BeeGees - here it comes - I loved disco - it was a lot of fun - sure it had a lot of crap but all forms of music do - had a lot of great stuff too - used to go dancing every Saturday night - when I discovered that aerobics was disco in a gym, I became the King Of Aerboics - and been doing that for years - so I work out in a room with bright lights and music, women in spandex (so no one gets surprised later on), and all the women there know I can keep the beat, can last for an hour, and can take insturctions from a woman - its all good, guys -- most successful form of dating known -

4-0 happens...

actually the fault goes to Robert Stigwood - he was solely responsible for that travesty. He should have never been allowed anywhere near a movie studio. Tex - it is at least a Top 10 if not the #1 worst movie of all time, agreed! And Tex- The BeeGees did some good stuff through their many incarnations through the years, no need to feel ashamed -
