talked to a chicago cop buddy of mine who said loitering around the airport IS NOT ALLOWED... so if you are planning ( and I was) on going to the airport, you may want to reconsider... post 9/11 security WILL KEEP YOU AWAY... crowds will be especially discouraged...

atlantic aviation, just west of the fire department on 63rd. I'll post a time if I get it... I'm told there are a bunch of traffic horses blocking most everything... but, they'll need those horses when the Central Division Champion White Sox arrive Sunday night. and thousands of fans show up and PS... sorry about the title of this topic... how soon I forget

anyone know when and where the sox will be landing on sunday night? I remember going to Midway Airport in 2000 to cheer them on, but the team left the airport pretty quickly. They use some gate/hangar on 63rd street. I have a buddy whose brother works in the tower, so I will post any details I hear.

but i thought only sox fans were like this http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...i-sportsnew-hed

earlier in the season I started a thread on italian beef... numerous responses were posted... I actually used kid gleason's receipe.. it was awesome, especially for a sunday afternoon where the temp was 102... use the crock pot and don't heat the house... WELL... sunday afternoon I found myself around cermack and wolf roads... when a light bulb went on in my head... I passed the mediterreanen(sp?) deli and remembered someone talking about.... CARM'S BEEF... OH MY GOODNESS... the BEST italian beef sandwich I have ever eaten... I got it to go and the sandwich was GONE by the time I got to 294 at ogden and west of wolf... thank you whoever originally mentioned Carms.. I am now complete

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) They better damn well search every god-damn middle eastern looking person trying to get onto a subway, train, plane and/or bus. And don't blame the United States or the NYPD..... blame MIDDLE EASTERN MEN AND WOMEN for perpetuating the stereotype. I f***ing laugh everytime I'm traveling on some type of public transportation and a 2 year old black boy is searched, a 70+ year old hispanic woman is searched, and a 30-something business woman is searched just for the sake of "randomness" while a middle eastern man or woman is allowed a free pass just so the authorities don't appear to be acting prejudicially. Call me what you will, but I'd raise holy hell if I was getting onto a plane and I got searched but some middle eastern man didn't just to be "PC". I'd raise hell even if I wasn't searched. The day a 2 year old boy or a 70+ year old woman or a 30-something business woman hijack's a plane or blows up a bus, that's the day they should start being searched. And the searches should not be limited to just the middle eastern men. If they're traveling with family, everyone of them gets searched too. In a world where a religion is perverted to the point where many believe that if they blow themselves up and take as many innocents with them that that act will get them a free pass to Allah, I wouldn't put it past them to strap the bombs to their wives and/or children. And white males have lost their right's thanks to Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, and the Columbine nit-wits.

just some SI columnist's opinion, but it sounds well thought thru, except playing the gold medal baseball game in wrigley http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ...2016/index.html

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:24 AM) 1.) I wouldn't say 51% of America is conservative. You seem to have forgotten that there are moderates. 2.) Yeah, um, I'm at a loss. . . just using last election 51% conservative 49% liberal ... IMO these #'s are pretty accurate ... I just wish the 49% liberal would realize it... moderates??? no such thing, unless you count dan rather who is "middle of the road"

Only a few tweaks are needed to take this team deep in the playoffs the sox looked like boys among men against boston... those "few tweaks" better be effective...

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=45390 and hollywood is wondering why movie ticket sales are the worst in years... maybe the 51% conservatives in this country are finally fed up with the anti-american hollywood... does every movie have anti-bush/ anti-american undertones? I wasn't gonna see war of the worlds cause cruise is an idiot, but this guarentees I won't be seeing it... why is hollywood so anti-american??

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) I have no doubts that they were looking forward to the Boston series, putting it on cruise control against the Tigers. agree... the "lookahead" disease can be very costly...

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 09:24 AM) he can't bat in the two-hole, because Iguchi has been f***ing perfect there all season. he has been unselfish, and always willing to take care of business... however, i think rowand in the 3 spot would work with frank's struggles. something like this. podsednik iguchi rowand dye thomas konerko pierzynski crede uribe ?? the only problem there is having thomas and konerko in the lineup! haha. I don't think he should replace guch, I just thought it was curious that people talking about his low #'s this year failed to mention his spot in the line-up...

SO I get off work early not early enough for the 10:30 train home, but I'm able to run to catch the 11:30... get home at 12:20 and start to get ready to take my son to the game (17 months old).. we have a child carrying backpack I like to put him into when we go to games, but it was still in my wife's car from tuesday's game... oh-well I'm still going... looking for his sox hat.. woops, also in the wife's car.. oh-well still going... it takes me three cash stations to get one that works... still going.. after running around like a headless chicken we are on the road by 12:55... get to the cell about 1:20... my son is in one of those "clingy" moods.. he won't walk, he wants to be carried... oh-boy why is the day going so bad??? walk in late and feel a "disturbance in the force" right as we walk in the gates... could have been my arm about to fall off from carrying him from the car... could have been "someone" we passed... finally get to our seats with hotdogs and my son sits quietly eating his dog finally I can relax and enjoy my sons company... till I notice the sky... you would have thought I would have checked a weather report... but it never rains in chicago , especially this summer... so why check the weather??? bad move... first lightening crack (still no rain) and the day-campers start to retreat... and I mean retreat... kids everywhere were flocking to the covered concourses... then at the end of the inning the sox announce to "go for cover"... as if there wasn't enough chaos they yell "fire" ... we work our way to the covered concourse... we were about one foot short of cover and the sky's opened up... we kind of got soaked... people were stopping as soon as they got to dry ground... thankfully the sox had ushers yelling for people to keep moving.. never underestimate the stupidity of people in crowds... we make our way to the gate two ramp and move up... everyone was moving down, so we went away from the crowd... got to the next landing and there was about five people standing around... I kept wondering why everyone was huddling on the landing below us... but like I said never underestimate bla-bla... to make a long story longer it ended up being my shortest outing in about five years... but anyday with my son is always sunny ...

I'm surprised there was only reference to rowand batting fifth... last year when he was putting together a awesome second half wasn't he batting 1st or 2nd? this year he's been doing well when they put him in the two hole, but that's happened 3-4 times... i'm not sure of the exact # but he hasn't been batting 2nd enough...
