  1. QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) That was the most complete victory I have seen this team have in awhile. Dare I say...a National League-type win?
  2. Nice hit Pods... But next time, put your purse down before you swing.
  3. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) Beckham wants to find out what they talk about during those meetings at the mound. Candlesticks make a nice gift. Love the tip of the cap by Danks with the smile. Close this one out, Sox!
  4. QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) Funny you say that. I flew down to Houston to see game 4 in person and still regret not staying in Chicago to see the celebration with friends and family. It was fun being there, but once out the park, the city was dead. Not too mention the scads of dirty looks I got from all the Astros fans sitting there in shock after getting swept.
  5. YAAAAAAAY! (You do something good D Wise...you get a cheer)
  6. That ball had a lot of spin on it. Did you see it take that bite to the right? Awesome.
  7. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) Dewayne "They Hate Me" Wise at first. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (Hey, he asked me to)
  8. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) BS, alexei was safe That was a make-up call for Reed Johnson. He was safe too.
  9. And that's TWO well executed bunts by the White Sox in this game.
  10. QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) Castro hits a home run. Jose has his worst start back from AAA but still gets the win. Gordo has a hell of a series. Getz hits a triple. Nix get a clutch pinch-hit at some point. Miss f***ing Cleo!
  11. QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) There you go Gordo. He was just getting a birds eye view.
  12. QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 01:26 PM) There is your run danksy. LOL
  13. I always liked the Cubby Bear for Bears games. They had a great brunch too. Other than that...any place that serves beer.
  14. Happy Birthday! Where you been?
  15. The more names come out, the better the chance they get into the HOF. Why? Because otherwise, they won't have anyone to elect. It will get to the point that it will either have a new wing...or an asterisk...or something. But, what players is the BBWAA going to elect? Beside Frank, Thome and Jr....who? What I'm kinda excited about is the return of hitters. Hitters like Olerud, Grace, Palmeiro before he started steroids, Gwynn. Just good hitters. Guys you want to watch hit. The only one I can think of off the top of my head int he game right now is Ichiro. Maybe Kendrick, when he's good and I know he was shipped down to AAA.
  16. He probably will not...and he probably won't stay at catcher much longer.
  17. QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 09:45 PM) Thanks for posting that again. I have seen it before and it always gets me choked up. Here is a ridiculous question. If you had the chance to erase 2005 just to have the ability to experience that first championship again, would you do it? I know it is silly, but watching those highlights made me remember how special that season was. There was so much uncertainty, especially that last month of the regular season coupled with the history of disappointment that no one could have expected those last 3 weeks to play out like they did. The euphoria and disbelief of winning the pennant and then the series was so unbelievable. It was also probably the last time I would ever dedicate so much time to a White Sox season. Nothing else in baseball can top the elation of that title. In some ways the aftermath was a letdown knowing that even if they win several more championships in our lifetime, none will be as special as the first. I would love to be able to go back, knowing nothing, and experience it all over again. I would, but only for one reason...I was living in Texas at the time and didn't get the full effect of the moment. I'll always remember being in Pluckers for game 4 and when that last out was made...I was the only one cheering. I would love to do it over, but be in Chicago.
