Any comments about the ending to the St. Rita state title baseball game? Did the catcher have the ball in his mitt long enough? Should the game have ended there? Can you believe Rita shrugged off the blunder and won it anyway? As far as football Harry and Sox2023 is Rice favored to beat Lincoln Way East? Any good transfers coming in? Is that quarterback back and that good lineman? Finally ... my grade school is closed by the diocese. anybody know what happened to queen of martyrs? I have fond memories of grade school followed by 2 years at BR. Lipman do u still follow Rice sports or not interested? Did u enjoy your years there?

I'm ecstatic Sox have won five of last six vs KC I think. Sox have put themselves in position to do what I've been clamoring for them to do for years: That is dominate a weak Central. Sox have so many good young hitters I like the team. I am now a huge Getz fan even though our pitching isn't as good as our hitting. ... It feels weird to be able to post again. After so many months of not being able to log on, I feel I will definitely be way more low key than when I knew a lot about our players/pitchers. I'm not qualified yet to comment much on personnel as I've only watched mlb highlights and not bought the package for 3 seasons now.

This is one of those games that used to (tank years don't count; those are a different animal) send us spiraling. Remember how we could always point to one game that wrecked our team and sent us to series loss after loss? I'm not worried about that with this team. They are young and dumb so to speak and won't let any one game send us spiraling. Tough loss though.

Thanks for the info; i appreciate it. I just have never wanted to go to south america. I've traveled to most of the states in USA but only London overseas plus Canada of course. I just picture myself like the guys in Hangover One. I could see me getting thrown in a trunk of a car or be missing 3 days and tortured. I feel like I should stay put. KU is playing in Vegas this year so I might go to the tourney even tho vegas is now a ripoff IMO.

Wow my soxtalk is working at my place. If I'm back, wow. Thank u so much for this report. I'm gonna send to my family. Thank u. Is Medellin known as a tourist town? Does it make sense that the wedding I think is up in the mountains?

Hey Durango, my family has a wedding in Colombia in September. Any suggestions of what they should do in their spare time and is it safe there, etc? I think the wedding is in the moutains by Medellin. I was too afraid to attend because of fear of kidnappings. thanx.

I hate soccer but this certainly was a good time for the World Cup to be here. Even though the networks aren't covering it this way, fans love the US men's team as opposed to the women's team with all the controversy. Soccer receives a big boost in USA with all the goodwill vidos on social media from foreign guests who love the USA and the fans sticking around to sing "country roads" after our wins. I despise soccer but I want Team USA to win and if somehow they get to the semifinals or finals ... wow. Soccer baby will be the new thing in USA. Only reason it wouldn't is if this was just a one-timer with the World Cup here. With it not coming back anytime soon it's possible soccer reverts back. GO USA. GO SOX. Beat Belgium.

Are any of you Peters fans as I am? I also like Antonnucci. We have some likeable players and Muni has even been out a long time. If anybody can fix my log in please do. I'll be a less opinionated/annoying greg cause I am no longer an expert on the team. I am back at the library and it's weird it only works like a charm here.

You know what? I did notice that. I still hate openers however with me not being able to log on here and not purchasing mlb.com I haven't gotten worked up. I do check the box scores and I'm thinking the opener hasn't been much of a factor either way. I still hate the fact modern starting pitchers rarely pitch into the seventh inning. Give me Bob Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, LaMarr Hoyt, Juan Marichal or give me death.

I'm back at the library (not just to post here; i enjoy the library) and logged on and it worked again. It won't work at my house or anywhere else. Weird. Go Sox.

Thanx. It's funny how I was addicted to the site and still am. Addiction is weird dynamic in life. I check every day to see if I can log in but usually am denied. I'm thinking of purchasing mlb.com again cause when I watch the highlights I even kind of like our third -year announcer. The "Get Out" isn't an annoying home run call. Glad he found one that may work.

Just saying hi. I finally got logged into soxtalk here at the library in Ks. Maybe that's the key for me. Also it looks like I may be able to get in on my phone with a new name. I love the big three. I'm in love with our everyday lineup and 21-1 score over KC. Our no name pitching staff is doing fine. We've already seen several amazing Sox victories. This team is for real because our division isn't very good and the Getz-led Sox are right there with 'em. Congrats to Getz as this everyday lineup looks dandy. I love the two Montgomery's I even love Meidroth and really love the Savannah Banana graduate. What a team. What a season so far.

I am a believer. Hi guys. First time I've been able to log on since six weeks or so I think. My cookies don't work or whatever. Before it doesn't work again for me ... my early impressions of course are very favorable. I realize I have hated our rebuilds but I have to give credit where it is due. Getz may be the answer. I still haven't returned to mlb.com but I watch the highlights and we have definitely got some 'amazing' lift and pull guys in Muni, Colson and Vargas. I personally am a fan of Antonnucci (sp?). And I've always liked Meidroth and I've never been a Beni hater. I also like the Savannah Bananas guy. In other words, with three power hitters minimum (I like our catchers too, way to bomb it Quero) I think we can stay in the Central race all year. That's because with pitchers only going 3-4 innings max I think we have enough bodies to do enough on a given night for us to win. I don't know enuf about our pitchers still. Our closer seems good. Martin has a 1.61 ERA. I'll learn more about them as the summer progresses. Since this may be the only chance for me to post since my computer hasn't been able to connect, let me say I'm hopeful the rebuilding is over. I'm starting to think Getz may be outstanding. Muri is the find of the decade. The Cub series was awesome and exciting. I am thinking from listening to highights our play by play guy still is annoying. If anybody has suggestions for me to be able to log on let me know. It's hard going cold turkey on the site, but there's some guy on X who posts a lot about the Sox and a couple facebook guys do it so I've been able to get my fix so to speak a little bit. If you missed greg, thanks. If you hate greg, that's your prerogative. GO SOX. GO GETZ. The rebuilding may be finished tra la tra la.

Hi, did anybody miss greg? Finally able to log back in. 6-10 start not the greatest, not the worst either.

Holy cow. Why play so many tough games? Will we even make the playoffs? Looks to me like like every game except DePaul and Notre Dame are tossups at best. ... Congrats to Marist for somehow beating Benet for the state basketball title. Held Benet's offense to nothing. Marist must have a heckuva coach in bball. Do they have any college prospects? I think Benet has one or two. Benet barely beat the Kleinschmidt's in the semis then again failed to score many pts vs Marist.

Sincere congratulations to your son. Tell him we Rice grads are so happy we got a coveted state title thanks in large part to the linemen. How far a drive is Norbert's from your house? Will u drive to many games? Keep us posted on his progress. Is Norbert's known for good football?

Wow. As Sally Field would say, "You hate me. You really hate me." I loved her special skate and loved Team USA hockey. Pulling the goalie early worked and the OT win was legendary.

Is Wolf Lake nice? I see it's only 20-30 miles from downtown Chicago? No big deal to drive there. That said ... do u guys think this is really a possibility? Or are the Bears just using their neighbors for leverage only to stay in Illinois? Pritzger made it sound like they are close to a deal with the Bears. Weird that the Bears would put out some news singing Indy's praises a day after a positive meeting with Pritzger's team. He said it was 3 hour meeting and they are close to a deal. So what's gonna happen? I say 80-20 Bears build a new stadium in Illinois.

Thrilling comeback victory for USA women's hockey. Pulling the goalie worked! Then the OT goal. That's dramatic stuff of legends. Was mesmerized by the great women's figure skating victory. Alysa Liu was perfect in her routine. Not one mistake. Great comeback story. The Olympics still works for me as long as the athletes don't get up on the podium and bash America. I totally buy into the stories of hard work and am a sucker for the athletes' reactions on the podium when they are full of joy not political angst. GO USA! Women's hockey and Liu! Heroes in my eyes.

I need to watch this in its entireity. I almost forgot we had to beat Rita a second time to take the title. We usually play somebody like Lincoln Way in big games.

That'd be a bill of about 20,000 I'd suspect. I'm sure they want to give rings to the freshmen, sophs, varsity players and coaches and also the longtime PA guy and others. They shoulda just done a gofundme. I think most Rice grads would give at least 500 to 1000. What a nice guy to do that for the kids/coaches.

Caulfield u have lived overseas a long time. Has your Chicago accent left you completely? Is your voice all different? Are you a lot healthier cause of the food over there not being as infested with chems and junk?

I've been optimistic til this. BTW it shouldn't be called a rebuild. If so it'd be a rebuild of an unsuccessful rebuild. The last rebuild didn't end.

Caulfield is in the running for board MVP. 1.) Caulfield. 2.) Fathom. 3.) All the Brother Rice grads.
