QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 07:46 AM) Monday???? s***. On Halloween? Goddamnit. My wife works and I have to take my kid to and pick her up from school. What the f***. Hopefully it's early. There is trick or treating on Monday, and no matter how much I love the Sox, my kids have to be first. Why the hell not Sunday???

YES!!! Oh man...I have no idea what else to say!!! I'll see you kids in the morning!!! I'm off to party!!!

Is it just me or is Backe getting the calls that Garcia is not getting??? I'm getting worried about this one.

5 year old Westmalle Triple. It's been waiting for a VERY special occasion.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) after a magical season that not many thought possible, i've been having the ride of my life through this post season. now, one game away from the impossible and i should be celebrating and going crazy and screaming sweep at the top of my lungs. but i'm not. last night i was rooting hard. AGAINST the sox. that's because fate has determined to ruin this whole season for me. tonight AND tomorrow night, i am not going to be around or near a tv in any way, shape or form. and that means if they win, i dont see it. 1st time in 88 years and i wont see it. i wont be able to do the whole "hey grandson, i remember when the sox won the world series in 2005". i feel like it's the perfect ending to a perfect season for a WHITE SOX fan. lol sigh... not trying to martyr myself here but it's just kinda - really - depressing... Go ... stros? yeah... oddly enough. Al Qeada finally found you, eh?

QUOTE(KansasSoxFan @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) Chicago has been somewhat spoiled with good memories of the Bears' Superbowl as well as all of the Bulls' championships. Back then, the city was really hungry for a winner. No, the city has been sad as s*** with the memories of the Bear Superbowl victory. We still revel in the glory of that thing, but you never hear about the Bulls anymore really. But the '85 Bears, good lord, every year, the week of the anniversary you get dolts like "Mongo" (friggin' idiot) being rolled out at special events. :headshake

Hey, it's not our fault the Red Sox decided to throw out shellshocked Clement in their game 1. What kind of idiot team does that??? Seriously, I understand Game 1 in a 5 game series isn't important at all...

Historically I think this team will be looked back on with admiration from the "experts". It's a team that has done it's job by playing a style of Baseball that not many do. We execute in the forms needed. If we need to be a "small ball" team, a traditional old-school style team, we are one. When we need to go modern and use the long ball, fine, we will. Our pitchers are old-school styled pitchers. They do the jobs when needed. Ted Lyons would have LOVED our staff in comparison to the rest of the pitchers. Our guys do what a pitcher is supposed to do, they finish what they started, or get as close to finishing as is humanly possible anymore. Are we one of the "best ever"? No. Are we a great team that deserves all that we have achieved up until now, and are we on equal grounds with what wore the White Sox name in 1917 and 1919 (two teams considered OUTSTANDING ballclubs)? Very much so.

I hate football, I hate the Bears. So, this obviously. I can only hope that if we win this, we never ever have to hear the name "Ditka" again and we can stop being assualted with "THIS IS THE 22 1/2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE '85 BEARS" type of bulls***.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) I woke this morning to the sound of Colin Cowturd saying he'd rather watch Al Rocker's gastric bypass surgery than watch this series. As I laid there it hit me that for once this entire season I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks - my Sox can win the series tonight. My Sox can win the series tonight. Wow. It's their loss if they don't watch this series. It's proven year after year that the non-marquee teams are the most exciting in the Series. This is a Series that is continually showing why this is the greatest game in the world, and if people aren't paying attention, then they simply are NOT Baseball fans.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Anyone on this board that says they didn't think doom when Marte came in is a big fat liar. At first, yes. But then he started to look good at times and I thought he might be O.K., at best. I also died when I saw Viz coming out.

Timo, no doubt about it. Just wait, he will be the BIG player to step it up tonight.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) I have my Queen "Greatest Hits" cd on right now to prime myself for singing "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" several hundred times in the next week with groups of strangers. The song brings a tear of joy to my eye that it is FINALLY going to happen. HUGE Queen fan here. Grew up on them, they were my first "obsession" in the music world, used to do "air guitar" (with a real guitar though) and think I was Brian May all the time. But honestly, I detest that f***ing song. It bugs me that is the song everybody plays by them. Terrible friggin' song. There, after all these 30 years, I can finally admit that. Phew...I feel better now.

QUOTE(afacio @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) Too bad what's-his-name didn't rip off her pasty back then. A little milk flowin would be a telltale sign. I can't believe she went unnoticed thru an entire pregnancy, but nothing surprises me these days. Nice post. 18 years after the birth, here's a news flash, she isn't going to still be lactating. :headshake

I'm 35 and I have never had the measles, mumps, or chicken pox and I have never been vaccinated. My Mom used to take me to kids with the stuff to try and get me sick, but I never got them. My Dad, in his 60's now, also has never had them. I guess I have a natural immunity. Poison Ivy also doesn't effect me at all.

They showed Steve in attendance last night! Nice to see he did make the trip with the team. He's good luck I tell ya! Get HIM ON THE BENCH FOR TONIGHT!!!

Cubs??? Who???

I watched the game last night, saw the whole thing. Watched the post game. But for some reason, something on the radio caused me to laugh: Winning pitcher: Marte Save: Buehrle It's sooooo damned Twilight Zone like!!!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) I say Crede, IF they win.....I still have to say that, until win #4 is in the books, but there are so many heroes they should award it to the entire team as a unit. Oh wait, there's a DIFFERENT trophy for the entire team. The reason for AJ was that there are sooo many MVP's on the team, that they had to find the person who did it with more than just a bat. AJ has done it with the bat at times, he handles the staff, and it's his attitude that they all have run with. He's the one the camera's are always going to for the "emotional" shot. I think he gets it just for the way he handles a 3rd out strike out! BADASS!!!

After Sunday's game my Mother-In-Law told my wife to tell me she is now a Sox fan. She was always a little impartial to both teams and didn't have a side. But she that game Sunday was so much fun, and she liked the players so much, that now she is on my side. Her husband is a lifelong Cub's fan...so I'm sure he is thrilled.

Cool article!!! Makes you that much happier that Blum got the homer!

The radio this morning said AJ should get the MVP for the Series.
