QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) Griffey. Please become our savior. I know for a fact that if Paul Konerko is our big bat, we're done. That would be good to pick up Griffey....But what would the Reds want in return?

s***! This sucks....And there isn't really a hitter out there to trade for....Aw, man....Well, there goes my dream of seeing the Big Hurt hit a GW HR in a playoff game

Dalgan's OK but I loved Dave Wills....Despite the Cub rantings (No need to care about that team if you ask me), he was personable and displayed the same passion about the Sox pre and postgame as most fans do....The Score will give that duty to Jonathan Hood, who's a die hard Sox fan as well but does call it as he sees it so no butt kissing will be found next yr....

QUOTE(IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) HI all, I'm looking to pick up tickets to two of the upcoming games against the Blue Jays in early August. I have been only to two games this year and both times I used Ticketmaster. I really don't feel like doing that again. I am buying tickets for a larger group of people this time and I don't want to deal with their convenience charges ($4 a ticket?). I can't help but think there is a better way to go about this. I was thinking about taking a drive up to the park and buying them directly but I wouldn't know where to go to get em. Any help would be much appreciated. The absolute best way is to see if any of your friends or relatives are Sox season ticket holders....Sox season ticket holders have a Sox Charge line and can order additional tix without TM service charges....A STH can order you tix for any game and you'd simply pay the invoice....Otherwise, your best chance is to go to the park when the Sox are outta town (Like this week) and go to Gate 4 during the week or weekend....No TM charges there and it's less of a hassle....

You guys are all absolutely right about the morons called Red Sox Nation! Last yr, I went to all 3 games vs Boston and these clowns would always stand up and cheer for Manny just for taking his spot in LF (Ooops!) between innings....I swear, if he had taken a dump in front of them, they would have done the same thing

I caught the last part....Mostly Aaron talking about how Ozzie is the leader and that they just have to forget last night's game cuz they have another one to play tonight....Wish half the board understood that :banghead

With the negative views today on a team that may possibly lose just their 31st game at the end of July, makes me wonder if Cardinal fans think their team sucks too since they lost to lowly Milwaukee last night :banghead

A Jimmy Piersall line from the Score comes to mind with Casey Blake: "Who the hell is he?"

I say nobody makes a single sound when Maggs comes to bat but cheer loud as hell when Jermaine Dye comes to bat Think that's one way to stick it to Maggs other than booing....

If the White Sox were to win the World Series this yr, the first topic BBTN would do that glorious night is can the Yankees and Red Sox win it in '06

If I was a closer: "Frayed Ends of Sanity" from Metallica In the batter's box, I'd want the intros to: "Out of Exile" or "Light My Way" from Audioslave.

Great day all around, now let's go get Oakland! I think the Sox owe them a little something extra as they're in our backyard now!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) Getting no hit for 4 innings by an average pitcher is bad. I don't care what you say. Getting no hit for 9 innings = Bad, getting no hit through 4 = Don't mean s***....

Joe Who? Joe Crede, that's who!

Nothing but pure heart from McCarthy, Uribe, Vizcaino, Shingo and Big Frank!!! If this game didn't prove to other teams and non-believers that the Sox have big f***ing balls, nothing ever will!

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 05:50 AM) The one where Frank hits a walk-off HR to win the World Series. A guy can dream, can't he? That'd be nice....How about setting up that scenario with Frank hitting a walk-off HR in Gm 7 of the ALCS to beat the Twins! Back to the topic, Frank's HR against the Twins gave me real hope they would do something special in '03 (What little did I know)

Fair enuff....Ted Lilly just doesn't sound attractive at all though and with a 10 game cushion, I think the Sox can live with McCarthy spot starting here and there for El Duque....

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) please tell me you meant to type this in green and forgot. No, I wasn't kidding....Even Ozzie said in the postgame conf Tues this kid's got good stuff and has no idea how he's 1 - 8....He's playing for the KC Royals, who haven't been world beaters the last two years....Any situation would be better for that kid than there....

Can we get Zack Greinke from KC instead of Lilly? The Sox would give this kid at least 12 more wins if he pitched for us!

The only idea I liked from him was the mural thing out in the outfield....Other than that, he's nuts! If there's one thing the Sox could do is change the outta-town scoreboard to something like Milwaukee's or Pitssburgh's where it shows who's on base and stuff....The one now barely updates the current game score....Other than that, Comiskey is my summer home on the weekends!

Piss on Torii Hunter....I don't need other players' opinions to know our White Sox rule! Same goes for ESPN or whoever else doesn't rate them high on power ranking boards as it doesn't help them win games....They're doing just fine without them

Keep Willie, cut Timo but hire him back as the Sox' bunting coach cuz that's about the only skill Timo has down pat

The chick may be hot but these commericals are pretty stupid....Best team in the majors and that's the best an ad agency can come up with to promote them?!? Squeeze the opening intro with Thunderstruck into a 30 sec ad and I guarantee that'll stir the masses to come out instead of dancing devils and clueless but hot looking angels

QUOTE(sayitanitso @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) Bullpen, put him in Garland's spot in the starting rotation becasue Jon is turing into Judy again. Watch out with that bullpen comment! If Jeff Brantley saw that, he wouldn't stop writing to you about Hermanson being better than Timo And there's no room for Wilson here unless KW's able to con the Rockies into taking Dye AND Timo (Which at that point, he should win AL Exec of the yr right on the spot!)

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) I think more importantly than Frank getting more money is that Ozzie and KW show Frank he's appreciated. Last year when the Sox were running the ads that said "14 years, one uniform" it showed how Frank stuck with this organization. I don't want to see him in another uniform. That standing O on Monday was a testament that Sox fans remember what he has meant to this team. I think KW now appreciates Frank but I don't believe Ozzie ever will since in my opinion, Ozzie's always been jealous of Frank's status as the undisputed icon of the franchise....Wonder what Oz was doing when the fans gave the Big Hurt that standing ovation....Grinding his teeth?!? I hope Frank does stay with the Sox....As Torii Hunter appropriately said, when you think White Sox, you think of Frank Thomas and that sure as hell isn't a bad thing
