QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) As much as Pauly has frusterated me this season, I'll always chant his name when he's up at the plate because I want him to succeed as I do with every player on the tea. I agree. Wtf is wrong with being at the game and rooting for a player to do good for your team. How is that disgusting?? Should we not cheer for players if they are slumping? I can't stand when Timo gets a PH opp over someone more deserving, but do I not cheer for him to do good?? Hell no..I'm up there clapping with everyone else

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) Nice, getting Wrigley involved. I like that. The only problem is it won't spread nationally, only around Chicago. Alrighty then...next best thing Wrigley gum. A batch of faulty corn syrup causes stomach illness?? Or to use a bigger word that might scare people...All their gum has acesulfame K. Here, I even found something bad about acesulfame K: Acetoacetamide, a breakdown product, has been shown to affect the thyroid in rats, rabbits, and dogs. Administration of 1% and 5% acetoacetamide in the diet for three months caused benign thyroid tumors in rats. The rapid appearance of tumors raises serious questions about the chemicalÕs carcinogenic potency." Clearly Wrigley gum causes tumors

mice at wrigley. People have reported little bites on their ankles at the games. Let it blow up from there

Depending on date, I would definitely be in.

There was some mild booing...I'm guessing just cause we're division rivals, but really who gives a s***.

Let's go SOX!!!!!!!! Take it to 6!!!!!!

I think it could have an adverse effect and I don't like the move. It's these little moves I didn't want to happen. I can see getting a big guy to better the team...but little moves where there is little to no upgrade aren't worth risking team chemistry.

Something from the other side... Rove Trumps Wilson: It's Not Even Close The Left isn't obsessed with destroying Karl Rove simply because they want to taint President Bush by taking out one of his closest confidants. When they're not focused on their fantasy that Vice President Cheney is the de facto president, they sometimes think Rove is. To destroy Rove is to neuter the Bush presidency. As resolute, effective and visionary as President Bush has been in office, the Left obviously still doesn't consider him the man in charge. Only a superhuman Machiavellian strategist could have engineered this bumbler's unlikely ascension to the presidency. And, anyone capable of facilitating a lightweight's rise to the highest office in the land must be not only brilliant, but sinister. For who but a sociopath would foist on the nation such a dangerous Neanderthal hell-bent on reversing the advances of "progressivism"? The Left's underestimation of Bush and irrational fear of Rove distort their perception and drive them into a mouth-foaming feeding frenzy to devour this mad political scientist. These misapprehensions also explain their jaded view of the baseless claims against Rove in the Valerie Plame matter. But in considering the Left's possible motives in this manufactured scandal against Rove, let's not forget the underlying subject matter driving the story: the Left's obsessive claim that Bush lied in maintaining that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling or trying to acquire WMD. If there were such a thing as the personification and eventual death of an ideology, American liberalism would doubtlessly derive some degree of deathbed comfort from repeatedly chanting until it's final breath the "Bush lied" mantra. What began as a monstrous deception would finally ripen into a full-blown delusion where the engineers of the lie came to believe it themselves into eternity. But American liberalism is far from dead and is eager to retrofit any available snippets, no matter how intrinsically unreliable, onto its "Bush lied about Iraqi WMD" template. One such snippet was Joe Wilson's supposed revelation that President Bush lied when stating these notorious 16 words in his 2003 SOTU address: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." Now, let's be clear here. President Bush's statement was true when he made it, and it remains true today. The Brits made such a claim and reiterated it emphatically (with the Butler inquiry expressly validating President Bush's SOTU claim) even after the Bush-scavenging American Left falsely accused him of inventing the story. That Joe Wilson claims he couldn't substantiate Britain's findings on his own trip to Niger in no way alters the irrefutable fact that the Brits made and stood by their claim. But as we now also know, analysts contradict Wilson's present version of the story, saying that his findings did more to support the Brits' conclusion than discredit it. In their zeal to dispatch Rove, the Left willfully ignores that Wilson not only lied about his findings but also about who sent him, denying his wife recommended him for the job, and sometimes alleging that Vice President Cheney, who didn't know him from Adam, sent him. They ignore that a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee discredited Wilson in two essential particulars. First, it confirmed that Plame recommended her husband for the African junket. Second, it found that certain forged documents Wilson bragged about debunking were not even discovered until eight months after his trip. The Left also chooses to overlook Wilson's political motivation to damage President Bush -- his admitted longtime support of John Kerry and his monetary contributions to Kerry's presidential campaign. They would have us believe the flawlessly calculating Rove is gratuitously vindictive. That he is foolish enough to risk conspicuously violating a criminal statute by outing an undercover CIA operative to a presumptively hostile member of the mainstream media all for the sake of petty revenge on the Wilson/Plame duo. It strains credulity far less to deduce that Rove -- who readily provided information to authorities with no apparent fear of incriminating himself -- alluded to Wilson's wife's CIA status to refute his fraudulent implications against the Bush administration: that it sent Wilson to Niger. It is uncontroverted that Rove didn't know Plame's name, much less that she was a covert operative. He was alerting Time's Matt Cooper to the incestuous, conflict of interest-laden genesis of Wilson's assignment (through his wife) in defense of his boss, not to lash out at or imperil this star-struck couple, who didn't even respect Plame's undercover status themselves. If the Left didn't have so much invested in Wilson's fictions and obliterating Karl Rove and George Bush, they would abandon this non-starter against Rove and concede that the clear misfit in this overblown episode is the truly tainted and already thoroughly discredited Joe Wilson.

Check out his eyes when he goes down. That looks so much fun!!!!!! It's on my list of things to try...right after Russian Roulette

That was a GREAT play. That's why you run to the ball even if it's not hit to you. If he wouldn't have started running as soon as the ball was hit...he would have never made it there. Awesome play...Scooter you owe him a beer!!

I'm not a photoshop whiz by an stretch of the word whiz, but I was able to scan this and make it a littlle darker. Here's 1024X768

Dam...I was looking all over for this, this morning, to see if someone can make me a sig like that. Great Advertisement!!!

Every bachelor party I went to with a stripper was lame as all hell.

If my dad was ever able to get his hands on that guy he would be going to jail for murder. So I'm glad he'll be tucked away in a cell.

Here's a weird and very true story... My dad was a fireman and just got home from his shift. His window is right next to my neighbors house. He went to lay down in bed when he heard "Mommy Mommy the baby stopped breathing" So he got up and ran next door...the lady opened the door and my dad's like "where's the baby" and she said "sleeping.....why...what's wrong??" and my dad said "I heard your daughter say the baby stopped breathing" So the lady is like "oh my god" and they run to the bedroom and the baby is faced down and not breathing...so long story longer... he revives the baby and all is well. An ambulance came and checked everything out. The lady was so thankful, but was like "you said you heard my daugter say the baby stopped breathing, but both my girls are away at camp...I'm the only one home." My dad was like "I don't know...I just heard a little girl scream and I ran over." Ghost? guardian angel? call it what ya want...it was f***in freaky.

Mine was Golf in the late morning...then we ate....Bus picks ya up at the course..takes you to the sox game at night...watch the sox win... Friend: Had suite at Balmoral....It was cheap....like 35/person and included food and beer and a lady in the suite to take bets. They also had big tables set up where we played cards and stuff....room overlooked the track. I couldn't believe how cheap it was for all that... I have one I am going to end of August. It sounds cool...here's the details on that: We will be departing from Burnham Harbor (map as GIF file attached), on an 87ft privately chartered yacht at 5pm for a 3 hour lakefront cruise. Drinks, Food, Gambling(bring extra cash if you are gambling) & Transportation included. The Transportation will be a Yellow Bus departing from Oaklawn. The cost will be $75PP w/ bus or $71 w/out.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Al's is HUGELY overrated IMO. The quality has gone down substantially over the last 10 years or so. Johnnie's in Elmwood Park, or Tony's on about 71st and Pulaski are some of my favorites Tony's on Pulaski is the best I ever had. Man I haven't had that in a long time!! Buona does the trick for me now, since it's pretty close to my house.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Here was my White Sox fantasy experience: They used to have that shower out in the OF area, much like they do now. Summer of 1978 I'm there with a buddy from high school and we meet these two cute chicks our age from Willowbrook, it was a hot day and they were out there to cool off just like we were. Well, we ended up hanging out with them through the game and after the game, we ended up going on double dates a few times and several months later after my buddy broke up with the one girl, I ran into her at NIU and dated her for a while too. They were both very awesome and very fun girls My buddy and I laughed about it years later, we both remembered meeting these two girls by the shower and looking at each other, and it turns out we were both thinking, "wow, they're BOTH hot ... which one do YOU like better???" Jim and buddy's exchange: Jim: OK, which one do you like cause we're gonna stick to this. Buddy: I kinda always had a thing for blondes... Jim: Good cause I'll take anything.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) The Hawk's a genius, I tells ya. (I assume you saw my sig) every time you post I laugh!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Hawk reading email: Hawk you usually say sit back relax and strap it down. Ditka used to tell his players to strap it up. I'm confused and not sure which way I'm suppose to strap it?? DJ: You can strap it up or down, but whatever you do, don't strap it on. Hawk: We got another email here.......

QUOTE(FLsouthsider @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) well, mike sirotka did have a great couple of years in toronto. hell, we could have traded sirotka for an italian beef with extra pepperoncinis and come out ahead. Who puts pepperonchinis on their beef???

There is nothing wrong with the announcer being a fan. If it was a national telecast that's one thing...but these are the sox announcers. Just listen to the excitement and passion in Hawk's voice. The only thing better was being there...which I was...but he gives you a pretty good idea what everyone was feeling at the game. AJ Walk off call
