Barbaro put down
QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 29, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) "The battling Barbaro" the tale of a horse with a winning spirit and a never say die heart. ..........until he died......... I doubt there will be a movie made about him, but the only reason why he got so much publicity is because he won the Kentucky Derby, had he not won the Derby, he might've been put down that very day at the Preakness.

If Carlos Lee could pull it off, I'm sure Josh Fields could eventually.

It's too bad, I was really pulling for that horse and thought he'd make it through after all of this. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/horse/news/story?id=2747087

Tiger Woods
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2007 -> 05:42 PM) Ok, that's it, I think it's finally time for Tiger Woods and Roger Federer to have a duel of some sort. Lance Armstrong will moderate. No kidding, it's real fun to watch both perform.

Best(non-World Series) and worst all time White Sox moment.
For me, the best non World Series moment was in 2000 when the Sox clinched the division, they lost that game to Minnesota in extra innings on a walk off homer, but all the Sox fans didn't care because earlier the Royals had beaten the Indians. The worst for me was the callapse of 2003. I expected so much that year and slumping in September was heartbreaking.

I wish I would've tuned in earlier than the 3rd overtime, great game.

Are we really out of contention this coming season?
No question about it, we are in contention. Everyone is in contention until the Pirates play their 2nd game of the year. But no, seriously, the Sox have a solid team and will be very good.

Redskins want a new stadium AGAIN!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) That game followed the usual Patriots' script. I swear, New England games are easily the most predictable in sports. They always have those flukey plays go their way, penalties on the other team, etc. they're like the Minnesota Twins of a few years back, except they've won some championships.

How did you get into the Sox?
QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 12:12 PM) My life-long Sox committment began in the early 1960's when, on summer days, I'd run to meet my dad on LaGrange Rd walking home from the train, hoping he'd be bringing home unused Sox tickets from work. He was employed by the Harris Bank which owned primo box seats right behind Mayor Daley's box, just 6 rows behind the Sox dugout. I'll never forget the look on his face when he'd pull those tickets out of his brief case. He'd take me to 4 - 6 games a year to see Luis Aparicio, Floyd Robinson, Nellie Fox and rest of the the 60's Sox players. My favorite was Joe Cunningham, and I wore his #5 throughout my career as a first baseman. I vividly remember how I was stunned I was by my very first view of that Comiskey playing field --- how vast, green and beautiful it was! I applied annually to the Chicago Daily News contest to be the White Sox bat boy, without success. After graduation from college, my fist resume was sent to Bill Veeck, with hopes for a career -- any career -- working for the team I loved. Sadly, I received a regret letter within 5 days of sending my resume!! In 2005 my sisters and I were called to a Florida hospital Intensive Care unit to be with my 92 year old father for his last hours. Although he was barely conscious, my last words to him after telling him I loved him were THIS IS THE YEAR DAD....THE SOX ARE GOING TO WIN IT ALL! He died minutes later and, as we know, they did....and will again!! Very touching story, that's awesome the Sox pulled it off. QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 01:41 PM) My dad was a twins fan. he grew up in minnesota and went to school in minneapolis. living in southeastern south dakota, most everyone else here was a twins fan too. when i went to my first pro baseball game, i think it was about 88 or 89, the twins were playing the blue jays. well the twins lost and i decided i hated the blue jays. well in 93 the blue jays won the east, and of course the sox won the west. i was of course cheering for the white sox, because i absolutley hated the blue jays. and like many other people have said, i immediatly became a huge frank thomas fan, and a white sox fan ever since. my dad was pretty cool about it though. i would cheer for the twins when they weren't playing the sox. obviously i'm not cheering for the twins anymore, but i don't think i could ever hate the twins. i still remember the first time i went to a ball game. it was so cool walking out of the concourse looking at the field and all the people, and just being completely awe struck. best feeling in the world. We have a lot of simularities in this. Earlier I stated that Bo Jackson was the reason and he was the biggest reason, but before I liked the Sox I liked the Twins too. I was sad the Twins didn't make the playoffs in 1993 so I was going for the White Sox since my favorite football player was playing baseball. Even though they lost I just stuck with them.

Twins expect Santana gone by 2008, per paper
I hope he's gone from Minnesota in the next 2 years. He's the most dominant pitcher out there right now. Hopefully he goes to a National League team.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 14, 2007 -> 03:35 PM) Rex won this game for us. This guy deserves Michael Jordan type treatment this week. He's gotten so much s***, a lot of it deserved, this season. I don't ever want to hear the name Brian Griese again. I don't know if he deserves Michael Jordan treatment, he's only won 1 playoff game, but it's your team and he did do a nice job today.
