NUKE_CLEVELAND

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,171669,00.html You count the Tsunami that happened right as 2004 ended and this has been one tough year for natural disasters.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) If you are going to have Marte on the roster, why not bring Kevin Walker along just in case Marte does not suck enough. The only logical reason to bring along Marte is for "mop up duty". The guy can't get anybody out anymore. Yet he'll still find a way to get into the game in a pressure situation. I REALLY hope Oz doesn't cost us a game by bringing this s***bird in.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) I think all WhiteSox fans sould e-mail ESPN and thank them for trying to annoy us with Berman and we sould tell them that we think berman IS A TOTAL TOOL. NOW, that bad thing is, we get another tool from FOX, that is Tim"The Yanks can't do anything wrong" McCarver. I mean he is another annoying mutha f***er If we're lucky the Spankees wont be around for the next series.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) ok stop talking about this topic, red sox boy. I think guys like RedandWhite would be equally upset if Hawk had done the ESPN broadcast and piped up with his famous HR call when Konerko belted that HR or when Duke got out of that inning or any one of a thousand different examples. I expect complete objectivity from NATIONAL broadcasts. I was disappointed.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) At the risk of flames, I'd like to point out that France also has a large military presence in Afghanistan. As does Germany. And thanks go out to them for their help there as well.

I couldn't find the original films thread so I figured Id start another one. I finally got around to seeing "Lord of War" this weekend and I had a blast! That was easily the most kickass movie I saw all year. Nicholas Cage was totally awesome in this movie. His opening quote is my new siggy and will probably stay that way for a while and the dude who played president of Liberia and his son cracked me the hell up. "I want the gun of Rambo" "They say Im rigging elections but ( shows a copy of the NY Times saying Bush won the 2000 election ) after your court of kangaroo's they cant say anything" ( I dont agree but it was still funny )

There's a serious lack of green in this thread.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) Heh, heh. It's almost a shame in a small way. Most Red Sox fans I have encountered have said that if they lose, they will be pulling for the White Sox. I don't think they despise us much, but I think they try to see themselves a year ago within us. Even though we try not to think of us like them, as we all feel they are too much like the Cubs with their damned excuses. Atleast Francona has talked about the Sox in a positive light and admitted how good our team was/is. There is no mention of a curse from him, and I highly doubt he would ever admit to such a thing. I have to admit that the majority of Red Sox fans have been pretty gracious about the way things turned out. They have the fans from the other Chicago team beat by a mile.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) I think you missed a flag Nuke. You're absolutely right my friend and thank you very much for pointing it out. You guys helped out a hell of a lot in bringing this about.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) I've been screaming at my TV so much as of late. I lost it last night, I think it was Reynolds, was mentioning the "curse of Joe Jackson". :headshake I wish these "experts" would realize that sometimes bad things happen to teams for a long time for other reasons than a "curse". Maybe bad play and poor teams has something to do with it. And yeah, "Nation"? Ick. Just call us "fans" and I'll be happy with that. The only fan group with their own "nation" just collapsed in a pile of smoking ruin.

QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) Dear Party People of Soxtalk.com, Now that the Sox have finally proven themselves worthy of some national media respect, we all may have a tendency to buy into some of bulls*** that those ESPN ass-clowns spit up when they talk White Sox. 1) There's a Trib article today on ChicagoSports.com with a byline reading "White Sox Nation?" Now, unfortunately this is a term that has been gaining popularity in recent days and I f***ing hate it. People on these boards have used it occasionally. We aren't the Red Sox. Stop calling us White Sox Nation. It's really annoying. 2) Chris "When I talk, s*** comes out" Berman likes to refer to the Curse of Shoeless Joe. Please. Stop. Sox fans, don't buy into the bulls***. Let's keep it real like we always do, all the way to the World Series. Go Sox. HELL YEAH!

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) "BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK......." Shut up, you chicken(doesn't he really sound like one when he does that? XD)! What he sounds like is a cheap rip off of Hawk. Thing is he roots for the wrong team.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) Garland and Pierzynski get raises. We have 3 OF's already. Way more likely that Konerko gets re-signed before we trade for Manny. I doubt Manny's going anywhere anyways, unless Omar Minaya suddenly decides Carlos Beltran is expendable. Much as people bash Konerko I think he's proven himself many times over in the second half and so far in the playoffs. f*** this s***bag Ramirez.......let the Spankees have him.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) I heard that. I laughed to myself when Duque came in. You would think out of all those people up there Rick Sutcliffe would know a little something about pitching..........Oh wait, he played for the Flubbs. Never mind.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:47 AM) Those commentsdid make me laugh pretty hard. Look in the mirror asswipe the hottest team won last year, not the best douchebag. What made me really laugh about this is that their biggest knob polisher Peter Gammons was picking the White Sox because we were the stronger team defensively and clearly had the better STARTING ROTATION. Thats ok Tim. I hear the golf is great in Florida this time of year........

The Red Sucks and Flubbs are playing golf already. If the Spankees get eliminated by the Angels does that mean that ESPN goes off the air for the season? If that happens they wont have anyone left to cheer for.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/07/pentagon....aeda/index.html Someones gotta talk about good news in the War on Terror.........I guess it'll be me.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:09 AM) I'm not saying he wasn't in favor of the Red Sox, he's a Red Sox fan, thats natural. However, I just don't think it was nearly as dramatic as people make it out to be. Whatever. When you're calling a game on NATIONAL tv you are supposed to be totally neutral. That does not include..... Yelling out NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when Graf makes that error. or Screaming your fool head off when Ortiz and Ramirez park one but then be strangely silent when Konerko gives us the lead. Nor does it include everything damn near including praying for the Red Sox to tie the game up or just assuming there will be a game 4 before the 1st pitch of an elimination game is thrown.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Exactly. What a classless thread. Why dont you go piss off. If you didnt detect the bias in Bermans call of the game then you either...... A) are an idiot or B ) are such a Boston troll that you thought it was "down the middle" or C) all of the above My guess is C.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) It's nice to know that Damon was really concerned with winning and his teammates instead of his own personal finances for next year. What a gamer! :rolly Did he even have a hit in the series?

QUOTE(chicagown @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 06:11 PM) Hilarious. After each answer he takes a puff. Thats f***ing awesome. He deserves to bask in the spotlight for a while. ROCK ON DUKE!!!!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) How awesome was it that the White Sox got their insurance run the same way that they were knocked out in 2000? I thought that was a brilliant call by Ozzie. Gutsy, and it knocked the wind right out of their sails. I was thinking the same thing. Im like how f***ing fitting is this! HELL YEAH!!

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) its written in stone in my mind. el duce has to be our set up man. what a clutch performance. im supposed to be doing property homework for law school and im drinking wine and celebrating. I LOVE THE WHITE SOX!!!! seriously though, we should have el duce as our set up man for the rest of the season. His job is long relief and he did it to perfection tonight. PERIOD.

There's so many choices, so many different heros in each of these games that theres no way I can pick just one.

Randy Johnson getting slapped around by the Angels and getting booed by the fans. Hes given up 5 runs through 2 and change so far. HAHA!
