QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) You're just proving how little time you spend here with that statement. If you spend any significant amount of time here you would know that that treatment is not reserved for any 1 team but anyone who happens to cross paths with us. Yea, but that doesn't make it right, because then we look like the very fans we are b****ing about, now doesn't it?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) I don't think she was referring to you.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) This years Red Sox team didn't have the resiliency that the 03 and 04 versions had, saying anything different would be foolish and I completely agree with whomever said the White Sox were ballsy. Props for this post, r&w, even when I give you crap.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Exhibit H01 in the case that SOXTALK is predominantly driven by Dems. I'm just sitting back & enjoying the show. I left Texas before the re-districting took place long ago. But I was there when it was being talked about & having actually been to GOP conventions down there (it's a much more publicly active process than in IL) I was gleaming from ear to ear when the plan was being formulated. I agree with Texsox (no surprise there). Texas is NOT IL. GOP gets the benefit of the doubt in the majority of the populace. It's a Red state thru & thru. Even when the Dems did have control they weren't the kind of Dems you see in IL. They were Dems dipped in Red. The real challenge for the Dems down there (from what I've heard) is that they are losing the immigrant votes. Traditionally these have gone to the Dems but in Texas there's a trend that says things are moving in the opposite direction. Texas is expected to be predominantly Hispanic in the next 50 yrs so it's not a good sign for the Dems. Apparently God means more to these people than the ACLU. . Texsox, he agrees with you! And your last line is pretty funny. The Deomcrats in Texas are far more conservative then in Illinois, and the northeastern US. Of course, that's partly why the south in its entirety has all but I think 2 senators that are Republican now (that were elected in the last election cycle - not total count). The "conservative movement" has hit the Democrats in the south since Reagan (Reagan Democrats). I'll say this again, the Democrats would be very well suited to listen to the ideals coming out of the south as it CURRENTLY resonates with the voters a lot more then what is being said on the two coasts. If the Democrats ever figure that out and stop listening to the "elite" of the party like Howard Dean, they might be dangerous.

QUOTE(LDF @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) so the crosby looks good. was he like a young mario or peter fosberg? he's a blend of both, actually, which makes him SCARY. He's got GREAT hands. His positioning and footwork, and body strength for an 18 year old compared to a lot of guys out there is amazing. He's not developed into his frame yet - however, the puck is attrated to his stick like a damn magnet. In Carolina, he was getting hit, and he still kept the puck moving, his centre of gravity and lower body strength makes him really hard to take out of a play, similiar to Forsberg. On the open ice, he's so fast, and can pass to guys that aren't even where they're supposed to be yet - much like Mario. But the sign of an even better player is his feel for the game - he knows when to slow down and let the game come to him. That's phenominal for an 18 year old.

ok, that annoying smilie s*** is fixed. Have fun, people.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) I just hope the NYY LAA series goes to 5 games. They play Game 4 Sunday in NY, then would have to fly to Cali and play Game 5 on Monday, then fly to CHI and play Game 1 of the ALCS on Tuesday. That is a lot of travelling in 3 days. 3 games in 3 cities in 3 days. There is no way that you would be fully ready to go, especially since there would be some celebration after the game for winning the ALDS. This would also bode well for the Sox in terms of opposing starting pitchers. Colon and Mussina would most likely pitch Game 5 and they would not be ready to pitch again until Game 3 of the ALCS. By then we could have a 2-0 lead. I hope NYY comes back no matter what, because either of their rotations are screwed if it goes to 5. We will have the huge advantage if this happens and Fartolo gets pushed back.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) ok children. It's funny like the first two or three times, so shall we stop mimicking this guy? Thanks.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) lies lies lies. ROTFLMAO at your sig. That's hilarious.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) I'm not whining if thats what is sounds like. I think for a team that plays as hard as they do, to be in the position there in, some people on this board are overly pathetic with there actions and therefore ridiculous. Again, I never said Chris Berman wasn't bias, so I think you need to go back and read the posts I made in this thread with an open mind, as if somebody else had written it, and we're all set. I don't think its necessary whatsoever for me to take a break, because I don't think i've done anything wrong. If I do do something wrong, I'll be the first to admit it, and take a break, but until then I'll continue to post respectfully as i've done for the last two years. Sensitive time, I guess. That's why I keep saying it.

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Ok, can you be banned on this board? And if so, then if I was told by a mod, then I'll stop this use, I just like using them YEA, you can be banned from this board, and I TOLD you to knock that s*** off. PM coming your way - this time you'll know who's who here.

Nah, I'd like to be cryptic here. As the season goes along, you'll understand, as long as the same posters are involved in conversation.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) I'm 3rd generation White Sox fan working on a 4th. The wife was surfing Ebay looking for baby White Sox stuff when she came across this package deal that had a rattle, pacifier, blanket, outfit, and a whole bunch of other stuff. At that exact moment the baby starts kicking. Of course she wants her new White Sox gear... My legacy is complete. That poor kid.

I watched that game. Ward was incredible. And I will tell you, Crosby is THE real deal once he gets the rid of the shakes and adjusts to this level. He had flashes of BRILLIANCE in that game last night. Holy s*** can this kid see the ice for an 18 year old.

Some of the arguments on this thread are funny, playing competetive hockey or rec league hockey or whatever. I'd suggest some of you spout things only if you know what you're talking about. However, some of you are very astute with your observations. Interesting thread, indeed.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) I'm sorry I just recently found this "soxtalk", hopefully you all won't consider me a bandwagon fan for too long... You bastard. You need to be banned.

well, people, I have ways of doing this. But, I won't distribute. It *is* possible, but you have to spend some serious $$ for software, etc. I had to for another site that I have license to copyright. PM me if you're interested in how for PRIVATE use.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) I have to disagree with most of the posts saying "screw the bandwagoners" I would be willing to bed that most hardcore Sox fans are Sox fans because they're dad (or mom or whoever) raised them to be fans. Personally, my dad is a huge sox fan and took me to games at old comiskey and the new park when it oppened. I was only 7-13 at the time. We also saw the sox at the Metrodome, and at Tiger Stadium. I'm now 22 and I've been hooked for life. The best part of this "bandwagon" thing is that more fathers and mothers are taking thier sons and daughters to games. The sox will be reaping the benefits of this season tommorow, and especially 20 years from now. I see your point. Sometimes, it takes a season like this to breed fans for life.

That's a good one.

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) I just prefer the Yanks I'm not ASKING, or HINTING, I'm TELLING you to stop with the f***ing smilies from here to eternity. It's ANNOYING. Got it this time?

Agreed.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) Right now hawk is ripping into Marte. Details?

QUOTE(black jack @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) Angels The Yanks will force us to score 7-8 runs a game. The Angels will allow us to continue our brand of baseball and win with 4-5 runs a game. Nice point. Hadn't though of it that way.

qwerty

Anahiem ('cuse me) LAA is a LOT more of a difficult foe then are the Yankmees. If we get NYY, we win in 5. If we get LAA, toss it up, because both are pretty good.
