I just saw a TV show about this like a week or two ago, they knew they were out there, they just didn't have it on video. Very cool indeed.

Terrible news, I hope everything turns out to be ok for them.

nice way to start off the game. 2-0 Sox.

Sweet, I get to see it.

I'm at a loss here. I was actually surprised they fell out of the rankings, maybe I was just hoping but I was expecting them to be around 22-25. I remember the last time they weren't ranked and it was so dissapointing, here it is again very dissapointing. They should've won the game on Saturday and had numerous chances to win against Notre Dame. 5 Big Ten teams are in the top 25, Iowa and Michigan are not.

Haha, yeah I know it's like 2 years and 8 months or so away but who knows, if it gets too expensive on gas we may cut back and do the east one year and the west another year.

Well this plan is getting changed, haha not only is it all 30 baseball parks, but it's also going to all the 48 continental states since we'd hit almost all of them anyways. It sounds like we're going to do this in 2008 so I'm starting to save money already and hopefully things will work out and this trip will happen.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) Who gave them the power? THE PEOPLE. If the Democrats ever got their heads out of their collective asses and saying that they are everything the Republicans are not (which is bull s***), then they'd get the power back. I got news for you. The Republicans, IMO, SUCK right now. The Democrats suck worse because they run around looking for these witch-hunts like this crap instead of coming up with something that resonates with the common American person. If they ever do that, they'd have all the power and get to say when they get to investigate themselves. People who are ultra liberal or ultra conservative spend way too much time arguing over the exact kind of BS that this thread stated. Is it a problem? Yep. Get a message, though, and take back the power the right way instead of dreaming up all this s*** of how to "derail the Republicans" So true. I'm not happy with the Republican party right now either.

happy bday

Great article, I hope it all works out for him and his wife.

I have to vote for Contreras. I'm usually skeptical and never say it's over until it's over. Even though I did think it was going to be a walk in the park but I never ruled out that it'd be close.

Yeah it's not right, but it is a private school so I guess they have the right to only have blue eyed kids if they wanted to. I know that'd extreme as well and they shouldn't expel a girl because of gay parents. I guess I'd fight it but it'll be tough to win.

Hafner is on fire. I'm starting to dislike him as much as I disliked Albert Belle before he was on the Sox. When he was on the Sox I only tolerated him.

The team no news is good news is what I went by in the first half of the season. I wish it could go back that way. But we have to get hot in order to do that.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) We've already seen in recent memory how a well coached team, playing as a team, can beat a team full of stars. They're the team to beat, but they're by no means unbeatable. Dude do dissagree with everything I say? No matter whether it's the White Sox, other sports, or stuff going on in the world you dissagree about it. I never said they're going to win it, all I said was they'll be the team to beat in the East. As far as the Lakers a couple of years ago, that was a team built for success but also built for disaster. Kobe and Shaq didn't get alone, Karl Malone was injured, and Gary Payton was on the decline of his career.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) We could possibly be eliminated from the playoffs before the first game of the Cleveland series. Yeah suddenly Detroit breaks out of this terrible slump and sweeps us. lol I don't think it'll happen though, but you never know with this team.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) I think everyone is trying to figure that out. obviously

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) It is f***ing true, whether you believe it or not. It'd be true if we were in the playoff hunt but only by a few games, not 15. Think about it, we were a half month ahead with 2 months left to go. How in the world do we lose that lead??

Their choke happened so fast, ours is a slow continuing slump.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) Right now, not a top 20 team in the MLB. I'd dissagree with that, lol but that could change after the series with Detroit. This is just so frustrating. Come on Sox, win this division......PLEASE????

We still have the best record in the American League if that helps.

I thought we'd lose this too. Not this way however, anyways if we can go 7-3 in the last 10 games we should win the division. I'm hoping and praying Kanas City can get a win against Cleveland, and hoping that Tampa Bay can get one too. We'll have to take care of Cleveland ourselves.

Even if the Sox win the division this year, Cleveland will be favored to win it next year. They are on fire and they'll continue to be that way. We're only 2 losses ahead of them. We gotta split at the very least with the Twins, win 3 of 4 against the Tigers and hopefully win 2 of 3 against the Indians. That should be enough for the division.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) No Steve, dont apologize. You, along with 95% of this board had a blast with team the 1st half of the season. We had every right to be as confident as we were. f*** apologizing, I had fun enjoying the season like I did, its just a shame it has to end like this. Yeah the first half was great fun and I still believe this team is going to make the playoffs.

Game over. Lead down to 2, soon to be 1.5.
