QUOTE (BobDylan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) Because you don't send the runner 3-2, 2 outs when 1st base is open. Ahh that makes sense then

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) The only way to get rid of a habit is to replace it with another habit.That is fact.So watch more porn or something. But I used to smoke while watching porn...damnit

Supposedly Mayor Daley is going to give a speech on Wednesday. I have herd his are also not that inspirational but I guess we will wait and see. I had to check to see if he was here and read that... Should have yelled out "Go White Sox" this morning to see if he would look

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) It was important for him to show because of his importance to the party, because of his prominence within it. When you have that platform, and you've already decided to make the difficult trip, why not use that opportunity to say something unique? It's not meant to be a criticism of him, personally. It just strikes me as regrettable. Yea, but I think he had a play on his speech in 1980...something about dreams...I wasn't alive then so I guess it wasn't unique to me

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) honestly, it was a 3-2 pitch with 2 outs, how in the world wasn't BA rounding third way before then Damn, I never even thought of the count...I mean he would have been out by 50 feet...

The worst call I have seen him make was sending BA on Paulie's 9th inning single a few days ago...but look how that turned out

Agree that it is going to come down to the last series of the season. Hopefully we can take care of business in the twinkie dome first but we all know how well we play there... Sox 94-68 Div Twins 93-69 WC

I gotta agree with bmags...I mean his doctor urged him not to come out here even just to be in attendence. But he sucked it up and actually gave a speech in front of 20,000 people. I mean the man just had surgery on his brain...what more could you expect of him?

So I have been smoking for about 8-9 years. I quit about a week and a half ago...the first few days were pretty bad, but now I am getting by on a few pieces of nicorette a day and I don't see what all the fuss is about. Honestly I could give a s*** about the health reasons (who wants to live to 75 anyway..ha), its the wasting of money that really bugs me, I figured I wasted about a grand/year on smokes. Hopefully I can stick with it. Advice/horrer story withdrawls...anyone?

In response to the protestors, I hadn't herd anything about this. Civic Center Park is like a block or 2 from my apartment. I have been sorta stuck on CNN and not the local news channels so must be why I didn't hear about it. Or they are choosing not to say anything. On first hand account though...Denver went way overboard with the police force...they are more likely to incite a riot than stop one...

I am pretty sure I just saw Mayor Daley walking in front of my building as I got to work. I was 10 minutes late and didn't have a straight on view of him so I didn't go up and say anything. I am sorta pissed I didn't now though...

This can't be at the convention...Obama isn't here yet

I remember watching a democratic debate months back in either New York or Boston when they were about to play that series. Near the end someone asked Barack the question Yankees or Red Sox.... he answered "The Sox but of a different color, I'm a White Sox fan all the way..." Thats when I fell in love...

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:09 AM) Wonderful speech by Michele "uppity black (muslim?) woman who hates america" Obama. haha...so horrible

Man...it is freakin crazy around here. I have never seen so many police in my life. The helicopters feel like they are 2 feet over my building. Got hassled by some cops on saturday night when me and some buddies were walkin back from the bar. They have a lot of rent a cops from smaller cities around Denver and I think they are trying to act like big timers. Saw James Carville walking down the street and a few of the Chicago news guys that I have since forgot their names. Everything is running pretty smoothly though, oh and I think I saw Oprah's entourage today.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) With the game on the line, I think that it's about time for me to really SINK MY TEETH into to one! Winner

I don't even know why people make Sox loser's thread. Since being here since '04 I have never seen more Sox "Loser" threads than this year... can't we just comment in the game thread about a loss?

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) before Paulie got up to bat I said "it will erase everything you've done this year if you just get me a hit" so now I'm #1 paulie fan. Join the club...3 members strong before the game tieing 9th inning hit...

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) This is Q's first year of actually producing. Hopefully he continues to produce for years and is on next years list. Yea, I think it is understandable...even though we here on Soxtalk have...(how do I say it) "Prematurely shot our wads on what was supposed to be a dry run" we sure do not have a mess on our hands... hmm...what?

I hate the twins and their no-name good teams year after year... Imagine them with Johan right now... that is all

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) why do i keep signing up for the NFL package every year? I need my head examined. That commercial I have been seeing where it alerts you whenever someone on your fantasy team scores sounds awesome however... I will probably spend the same if not more than you and your package...Going to a bar every sunday getting lunch and beers really racks up... so don't feel too bad...

QUOTE (th0mas35 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) Having Harris be this high on the list is a joke. ^^^^^^^

so I said I am in, do I get a PM or something with the info?

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) first night of college....FTW Good luck...and enjoy it...I have been out of my 5 1/2 years of college since this last decemeber and real life really sucks. I remember back to my freshman year when I drank 6 nights a week and still made it on the dean's list....good thing for a good high school education so everything was review to me that first year, made it a whole lot easier to get smashed on captain every night.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 02:55 AM) Those Kenyan distance runners need a few Italian Beef/Sausage Combos. Maybe it will bring the idea of a "Beef" or "Combo" to the world stage...I love that anyone I know not from Chicago doesn't know what the hell I am talking about. There is a place here in Denver called "Chicago" and they sell beefs worthy of being sold downtown chicago. They also sell neon relish, vienna beef products, butter cookies (which I thought were national but after seeing them there and asking friends if they knew what they were I guess they are not)
