No, one game doesn't. But my point remains the same: people are very fickle around here.

This thread is what kills me about this f***ing board. He gets his ass reamed, tonight he does well, AND IT'S STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH. It's epidemic about this whole damn team. What the f*** is it going to take? Oh, nothing short of a World Series title. I remember now.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 02:51 PM) How many people who say Carl STFU would take that advice in their own jobs? Clear the air and move on is far better than letting this s*** fester. It would seem y'all want the team to walk around with fake smiles and a Barney attitude. Perhaps they should sing These are adults who should be able to discuss workplace issues. We have crap happen all the time we don't like in our workplace. Either deal with it man to man or STFU and stop complaining. I disagree with you on this one, Tex.

This is the official "pass the crackpipe" thread of soxtalk. (No offense to the topic starter)

Actually, I hate to say this, but the wild card is better for us. We'd go play the Yankmees/BoSox, either of which I would rather face then anyone out west.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) Can I just say, I've never seen a manager gone from getting numerous praises around the league and being considered a shoe - in for AL Manager of the Year, to one that the majority of his fan base wants fired. Quite a fall from grace. What are you saying, we're fickle? Duh. Welcome to White Sox Baseball. And while I'm at it, a special shout out to those who b****ed all season long. Bet you all feel better, right?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) Bold is the key phrase in that statement. The timing makes it a lot less suspicious. If he had led the insiders in selling that is one thing, but if he was at the tail end of all of that, not only to numbers get released showing insider buying/selling, but also rumors get out about heaving selling/buying done by insiders. You kind find those numbers as public filings at the SEC, and are often posted in segments on CNBC. Trust me, you can't keep a secret on Wall Street, and if it took him 2-3 months to act while insiders were selling, all that means is that Frist is a piss poor trader, and not an insider trader. Oh STOP IT. Keep letting the sharks swim here to throw the blood in the water, because it sounds so good. Since when did logic and common sense belong in this forum?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:44 AM) Our offense is just fine. They are not popping up or striking out with men on, they are stretching their home run muscles. They are waiting for the next indian series to hit 40 home runs. As Allah as my witness I have seen this. We will drive those wahoo swine into the 5th depths of hell. That is HILARIOUS.

I feel like turning off Palehose for the night so I don't VOMIT.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:23 AM) Dude, can't you just realize what is going on!?!? This team was suppose to be the best team in the league. Playing .500 is unacceptable. GMAFB. Did you not watch the game or read my post. THEY HAVE NO HEART! THEY DO NOT WANT TO WIN! GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD ALREADY! Trust me, I am still rooting for them and hoping but all we are doing is setting ourselves up for dissapointment. If you can honestly say that this team has even exhibited a little bit of heart lately, then you = blind. This, combined with the thread starter, does this mean you won't post until March? SEE YOU IN MARCH? Please? I'll say this much. For you to say "they do not want to win" is pure bulls***. Get a clue about that part, ok? Yes, again, this sucks. But don't you dare EVER question that they don't want to win.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:26 AM) Where has he been? He's taking a break for a couple of days. Drop it now, ok?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:21 AM) I said that they shouldn't take that type of talk so personally. You'd think they were afraid that their families were going to get ripped in the press, etc. Please don't question how much I root for the Sox. I'll tell you fathom, publicly, right here and right now. Every time you bash this team, and say they are not going to make the playoffs, you turn around and say "please don't question how much I root for the Sox". f*** that. You know, if you did, you'd say something positive once in a while. 95% of your posts are about what is wrong... but we're supposed to believe that you're all Sox, all the time? I have trouble with that, and I know others do, which is what gets us into these conversations. I *WILL* question you based on your history here. Sorry, but that's the truth, and I'm just calling it as I see it.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) I'd like to see you go through the archives and prove us that was said after the game. I hope no one's that dumb, and I find that hard to believe it was said. It was said, greasy, after the NYY series in NY.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:57 AM) I don't mean to be rude. But yes, f*** THIS TEAM! Then I humbly ask you to log off and have a good night. The act gets old.

I'm going to get ripped for this, because I'm going to sound like WSI, but if they make the playoffs with all the "f*** this team" posts, you don't deserve to even cheer for them. Yes, this is frustrating. But to say "f*** this team" all the damn time, stop watching them then.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) 95 wins is not something to be happy about if you blow a 15 game lead in two months. I am sick and damn tired of seeing this reference. 95 games is not something to be happy about. So, let me get this straight, NOTHING but 110 wins was acceptable to any of you people who are saying this? Well, Katy-Bar-the-F'in-Door. NOTHING BUT 110 wins or you SUUUUUUUUCCCCCK. How many times did we say that August was going to be our downfall this season because of the schedule? Wow. Most of us were right. As it turns out, Cleveland got hotter then a firecracker during August. Yes, our offense can't carry a 5 lb. weight right now without breaking their backs in pressure situations. You can see it all over the place, people are over pitching, over swinging, because they have something to lose. At the beginning of the year, they had NOTHING to lose. The pressure is killing this team, and the attitude of "nothing but a 10-15 game lead matters or you're CHOKERS" is absolutely killing me. You all have valid points, but saying that the expectation is 110 wins is ludicrious, and that's really what you're saying, because you can't control what the other teams do except when you play them.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) CONGRATS!!!!! It's a regular baby-boom here, isn't it? Yea, remember that after your wedding.

They ALWAYS kill the Sox when it matters most. That's the part that sucks.

Rita is starting to experience shearing - it's not going to be a cat 5 for long.

Post my life events here? I don't have any. Ok, seriously. Since we got the big weekend out of the way last week, I'll share now. My wife is expecting our first, due sometime around Mid-May. We should know more about the due date and all of that next week. So, last night we were in the grocery store and we looked at the price of diapers and food and all that good stuff. Damn, poor house here we come!

Well, everything has shifted away from us. Watching the weather right now and now they are saying for Dallas we might not get ANYTHING. NO rain! I'll be shocked if that happens. Rita is weakening, you can see it. It's not as symetrical. Now, they are saying even EAST of Houston/Galveston.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) I was looking for b****ass passionless Sox thread from two years ago. It felt right around 9:45 last night. So you're the asshole.
