I had my own board, the lounge of love... those were the days.

Bobby Jenks is always "The Beer Drinker" round these parts

I didn't think that Paulie's career was over, but I wouldn't have been patient enough to play him through all of his struggles.... I'll eat some crow.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) SoxNet.net was initially founded in 2000/2001. The site was a news site which was founded by Mario Scalise (Molto) and Jason Gage (myself). Molto was the actual founder though and I somehow stumbled upon to his post that he was going to start a White Sox website which he made on WSI (where I would read on occassion). SoxNet had a message board which I was in charge of (Mario was in charge of the news portion) and that board was part of a sports-network which had made up with numerous sites which had been affiliated with Rivals (sportsinfinity network). For about a full season we used that network as our forums and than after the network continued to have server issues we felt it was necessary to make the next step and establish Soxtalk.com (the baseball fans forums had a core group of about 20 posters and would get about 100 posts a day, which we thought was insanely busy). Soxtalk was my first venture into the server end side of things (from installing/building the forum to using PHP to make some customizations). Early in the Soxtalk days, WSI ran into an issue where they banned numerous members. We marketed and reached out to these members (which included being the official sponsor of SoxNRoll Radio) and eventually established a nice core-set of posters. Shortly after we gained a chunk of posters from WSI, we than lucked out into ESPN's forums being poorly moderated (we would consistently market our site by posting the articles on various forums, including ESPN/MLB) and picked up the likes of SS2k and slowly must have obtained about 90% of the consistent White Sox posters on such forums. At that point Soxtalk had established itself. It would consistently get 1000 posts a day and was filled with action. We've grown many many more times since but the one thing thats never changed is our dedication to the members of this site and the Chicago White Sox. In the middle of all this there was a time where this site was integrated with the "Insiders" network. This was something we thought was going to be a brilliant move which would give us the ability to provide the members with better content (giving us full blown credentials and access to getty images). However, there were differences of opinion between us and the people at the Insiders and legal actions had been threatened. There was a couple week span where we actually and we thought we might lose the site, however, we lucked out (although we were forced to close SoxNet.net at this time). FutureSox & Soxtalk managed to survive and now we've continued to work on growing the network. convenient I was left out of both Mario and your renditions of how this all got started. I'm glad I'm going to law school, because Im going to sue the f*** out of both of you!

come on JOHNNY!!!!!!!

Markakis is probably going to break this one wide open.

Is that the reliable defense that Hawk was talking about? Consistently below average?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:14 PM) lets see what swish can do it's usually 'all or nothing' with him and runners in scoring position I love it when you analyze.

2 on, 0 out, stay patient Swish (eventually) but for now Lexi!

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) the Sox are so easy to steal on AJ Pierzynski could steal on AJ Pierzynski

No more runs please.

Wish Jim would have stayed at First with Paulie and Jr. swinging hot bats... oh well.

f*** Melvin Mora, Seriously.

We better come back and win this game!

all this with two outs.... ugh

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) How well did Uribe hit that ball? he got under it, it was a soft liner to the RCF alley, not a hard play to make at all

KG working Liz like a 2-hole hitter.

Did Hawk say that our Defense was reliable? What a joke.

Fun article, thanks for posting this... it seems only fitting that we got Carlos Quentin after having to suffer through the disappointment of another Standford Cardinal, LTP himself, Joe Borchard.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) The Rockies put Taveras on waivers because they think that Podsednik is the one who is going to save that franch....BWAAAAHHH HAAAAAHHHH... Sorry, couldn't make it through that without laughing. I think they just wanted to dump the salary, Pods was just activated from the DL, and is only signed through the rest of the year. Taveras has 61 SB, and they probably just wanted to see if they could get something in return for a player with that type of skill, who is a cheap and signed through next year.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 06:06 PM) Toby only has one gear, Fat. fixed.

yikes that was close

Nice catch by Montanez... wasn't he a top pick for the cubbies?
