Controlled Chaos

Buerhle = quickdraw, under 120, pronto, pacemaker....something about how fast he goes thru games...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) well, there ya have it sports fans. Remember how much it changed last year when they limited beer sales? I always took 1/2 price night to be for families and kids. It's not for people over 21 who can most likely afford to go to any game. So a simple solution would be to cut off beer after the 4th on those nights. That's enough for dad to have a couple beers and enjoy the game...and its not enough...(at least I hope) to get all the idiots drunk. Yes people will b****...and some won't come to the game anymore, but those are the fans we don't want there anyway.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) I agree you shouldn't be a jerk and provoke others, but not wearing your team's jersey when your team is actually playing?? Even if you don't wear a Sox jersey to say the Metrodome, you're still gonna cheer for the Sox, wouldn't THAT give you away? What's the difference?..... or should we sit quietly at opposing parks too? If my team is playing I wear my jersey...I never said you shouldn't wear it. I wear all my sox gear when the sox play at wrigley and I sit with all the assholes in the bleachers too. However, if you are going to watch two teams of no interest to you...then why bring trouble to yourself by wearing something to piss off the home team. Now, Im not talking about going to a Diamondbacks vs Rockies game and worrying if it's ok to wear your white sox jersey. Alittle common sense please... Im sure neither fans of those teams give a s*** about the white sox. But if you were a Boston fan and going to Yankees vs Devil Rays game in NY why wear your Boston jersey if not to start some s***?

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) Because I want to. And I've never had a problem other than some friendly banter. And I've always been in the obnoxious bleachers. oh...then by all means continue to do it until a problem does arise.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) Whenever I go to the Urinal I wear something with "Sox" on it (shirt or hat). Why? I mean if you're there to watch a baseball game and not start trouble...then why do it?? It just asking for an argument/fight. If the Sox are playing then it's a different story...but if its the Cubs and Astros why wear a white sox shirt??

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) monday half price nights is always "skokie" night.. tuesday is "trailer park" night.. I know this crap, yet I'm still bringing my one-year-old tonight. .. like I said it could be an adventure... What does "skokie" night mean? Either way..The point is whether it be 'cubs fans' 'white trash' or 'gang bangers' they are all assholes. Security needs to step it up...and kick people out with a lot more regularity. Id like to think the 'good fans' out weigh the bad fans...So if someone is being an asshole...call him on it...and stick together. On another note I will never understand why a cub fan comes to sox park with his jersey on...just stupid IMO

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Just got home from the game. I am so glad we won, and Carl and Joe had great games... but that has to be the most frustrating game I have ever attended. Contreras was absolutely painful to watch, and I felt sorry for him. He did try to battle, but man was he bad. 3 most important things I noticed: Podsednik is still favoring his groin. Dye has no confidence right now. Carl Everett can be the Leader of this team. Regarding Contreras.... What the hell takes him so long to hook up with AJ for?? I mean s*** it's like theres 15-25 seconds between every pitch. Slows down the game for everyone...

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 07:52 AM) Yesterday when I went over to souvenier booths I noticed the main jerseys being featured were Pods, Rowand, Kong, and Mark B . Umm they are all white. It seems that our image since 2001 has been diverse, have been Frank (well duh) , CLee, Maggs, and Marky. Is this a coincidence. Or am I just over anaylyzing? It does not matter to me(mainly cause I am white). It was just an observation. I was just bringing it up because do you guys think it could effect our minority fanbase? Do you guys think Frank is still the face of the sox? You are over analyzing....sheesh We have to diversify which jersey's are on display now? They display what sells...there isn't anything racial behind it. It's like you are looking for s*** to b**** about... I don't think it affects our minority fan base at all. Most wouldn't even think twice about it. It only affects people that are looking for problems....whether they be Black, Hispanic, Japanese, or in your case...white.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) You have heard the song, trust me. When you hear it, you will go "oh yeah, THAT song" I remember skating to that at my grammer school roller skating parties at Oak Lawn roller rink.... Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Come on, Eileen, taloora aye Go toora loora toora loo rye aye you know those of you that know it are fricken singing it right now!!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) April 22, 1983 Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners Never heard the song and have never even heard of the group. Jesus you making me feel old. How have you never heard that song??

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Touche' When these cases come up, it's very easy for the average person to see that an unsavory group is exploiting their constitutional protection in a way that most find disgusting. It is then equally easy to look scornfully on a group like the ACLU because of the 'battles they choose.' But if the issue comes down to defending constitutional protection, then I don't think the ACLU has much choice in how they would side in a case - even when they find a group as repulsive as the rest of us. Will the ACLU be there for the boys who have been molested by NAMBLA members? What about their rights? If NAMBLA exists to advance the cause of adults having sex with minors, ESPECIALLY children under the age of sixteen, then I believe that their 1st Amendment right to the freedom of speech SHOULD be superceded by a child's ultimate right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness....but I know thats not law and just a sensical opinion. If I only I ruled the world!!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) Like the KKK/Missouri scenario, I suspect NAMBLA would have a constitutional right to adopting the highway, although the individual who adopted the sign might not be able to do it in NAMBLA's name. I don't know. But it is a mistake to throw out the baby with the bathwater and demonize the First Amendment and/or the UCLU if they took up the case. Protecting our constitutional freedoms is a good, right, and necessary thing, even if it means that it opens up loopholes for despicable entities like NAMBLA, the KKK, and the Christian Coalition to hide behind. Edit: I made sure to green that last jab so you knew I was joking (mostly), PA. Who's throwing the baby out with the bath water....I just think we should hide the baby so NAMBLA keeps their focking hands off!!!!!!

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) They're already defending them... pro bono, as well. :headshake I like that we have an ACLU, but they do a horrible job of picking their fights. yes...kinda why I made the comment

SWOOSH... Here comes the ACLU to NAMBLA's defense!!!!!!

November 7th, 1973 US Keep On Truckin’ - Eddie Kendricks WTF????? never even heard of it.... UK Daydreamer / The Puppy Song - David Cassidy

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) He was fired last night.. and cried like a baby.. So he was out celebrating with his friends that he cried like a 5 yr old on national TV?? That dude has some serious issues...he needs counseling. As for who I want to win...it has always been Kendra...she has come up with the best ideas...even when she wasn't project manager...She has made her team win so many times.

Will we ever see El Duque go to the mound to talk to Count?? Is that even allowed?

What effect, if any, will this have on the chemistry everyone has? I think the platoon will work best with the perception being..."we like all of you and we want everyone to play cause we value your contributions to the team" If we pick one player to bench when Frank comes back....then that can affect the whole team...IMO. The X factor is how will Frank feel about splitting his time when he has already missed a sigificant portion of the season??

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) I thought I did something original. We all went to Vegas for my bachelor party and had a group photo taken there. I had that blown up and framed and ave them that. Cheap, but cool. oh hell that is very cool....way better than a mug that you'll never use. What are you going to do show up at parties and be like hey everyone....no cup for me...I brought my stein from Jims wedding in 97. A picture with, which I'm assuming is a whole lot of memories, is way better.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Don't forget business card holders, and beer mugs We got Jim's guys gift certs for a round of golf. Something they will definitely use. ahh now thats a perfect gift....I got different things for each guy depending on their needs/likes....Golf certs were for a couple. My friend got married last year right before me and was like...I think you guys will all like your gifts,...I think they're pretty cool. So I was thinking dam if he said that...he put some thought into it and didn't get the same old s***. Yeah right....it was your standard money clip...I don't know why he even made that comment....Funny thing is...NONE of us ever use money clips....I dont even know where the dame thing is....

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) Ah, yes, we musn't forget the gifts. Groomsmens gifts are the worst to get....How many moneyclips/flasks/pens does a guy need. It's the same gifts for every wedding.....

I love Blue Cross & Blue Shield for Wood and Prior

We dont see the questions being asked to Kenny. We only see the quotes that are put in an article. I don't think Kenny is harping on last years team. In fact, I think he goes out of his way to try and not hurt feelings. Ozzie keeps getting asked questions as well. It's not like Kenny and Ozzie are calling press conferences to compare last year and this year. Reporters ask questions and they answer. It aint to ruffle players from last years feathers...but when you talk current day positives everyone is going to look at that as....you are comparing it to something else.... I like that they keep mentioning team chemistry. I want them to keep saying it. I want everyone to hear it. I want all the players to read it. I want them all believing in the TEAM concept.

Very nice!! I'm sure you'll look beautiful!!
