QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:01 AM) I don't think it's funny. I think it's funny you'd go to the game wanting them to get beat. Makes no sense. I dont root for them to lose, I just dont care if they win or lose. At this point, does it really matter that they win 65 games or 70 games. This year sucked, and it is over. This is extended try outs. We should be testing all of the young players, and not "going" for it to win a few more meaningless games.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 12:53 AM) I think the 34,000 people who attended the game agree with me. They preferred a win over a meaningless draft pick. Well as someone who invests some money on tickets, I would rate an impact draft pick that can help the team win for a bunch of years over the 2nd worst team in baseball scratching together a few extra wins in September. I will be at the game tomorrow, so when you come up with the stat, please take off 4 people from your total. Because my brothers and I want Pedro over the 61st win. If they win thats fine. But anyone living and dying with a team that gave up about 3 months ago is funny.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:39 PM) Exactly 76. I tip my beer to you in 10 minutes as I go get one. I could barely contain myself. 60 victories, in September. Holy Crap. Tomorrow we can shoot for 61.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) Gee, my poll says more people agree with my position than disagree. Sorry bout that victory as well. 60% of internet polls are meaningless. If you don't believe so, I can create a poll.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:35 PM) I agree. It is bigger win for me than Pedro. f*** Pedro. Could care less. LMAO@U

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:33 PM) GO CRAZY GREG, GO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 60 wins, my god I couldnt live tomorrow if we only had 59 wins. It would make me a sad panda.

AJ hates Pedro Alvarez.

Joe West wants to go home.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:28 PM) Hey, I'm cooperating here. I don't want Pods on the team next year and am rather certain he won't be. I do recall the player receiving the highest volume of complaints last year being Pods (though, yes, there were many other reasonable people who noted it was the team pitching), which I thought was comical at the time, and even moreso looking at this year where we're dying to have more players with a .330 OBP. Meanwhile, Pods slap bunts of the past week are the hottest thing in Chi-town. Hotter than Oprah and Skiles and sandwiches combined. Well Prancer was playing all the time, so you got to see more of him striking out looking, not stealing, not getting on, and kicking balls in left. Those pitchers you mentioned got their boos, but only when they appeared which was every 5th day. It more of overexposure to a 4th OF playing in LF all of the time.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:25 PM) Why hasn't Terrero gotten any work in RF with Dye being out? Why must we be force-fed Erstad on a daily basis when we could be watching a younger, more talented player? Erstad is a starter. He just moves positions every day.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:16 PM) I can't vouch for the size of people's brains, but Pods was certainly right at the top of people's (on this board) complaint list above Buehrle, Garland, Vazquez, Garcia, Cotts, etc. The pitching sucked last year. Are you okay now. But that has nothing to do with the fact that Prancer sucks as well.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:12 PM) Yet the 2nd half of 06 offense still slaughtered the entire year 05 offense. The 05 offense sucked, the late 06 offense sucked, and the 07 offense sucked. We are 05 champs because our pitching was out of its mind, and the offense decided to hit for a few weeks. In 06, our offense was a juggernaut in the first half, then decided to die. This year, it was a combination of unseasonably cold weather, and something wrong with the way our coaches flipped the cards.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) I remember our offense being amongst the worst in the majors during the 2nd half of the season with Pods as the catalyst. He must of missed the .241 BA and .296 OBP and s***ty defense he had as a leadoff hitter in the 2nd half of last year.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) I don't know that "they" are working at it. I have heard them say Pods is working on it in bp and games. That's the second time I've seen him do it for a hit this week. Yes, yes the injuries suck and all that. There's a huge difference between the confidence, ability, and technique of 30yr old Pods and a rookie. Remember how Pods' .330 OBP cost us the season last year but the team 4.61 ERA didn't? Pods can use it in his new career as a 4th OF and late inning pinch runner. Good job and god speed.

Phillips is up. One more inning to contact. Odd Jenks in for the 2nd inning. I thought he wasnt allowed to do that anymore.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:59 PM) Are you kidding me? Pods rules. You guys suck. I hear he is going to make the All DL team this year.

Why are they working on slug bunts with Prancer and not with Owens.

Soxman and his fat sidekick and their myspace page can go away now. Its bad enough that a grown man dresses up like that night in and night out, but his youtube thing with Ronny Woo is beyond wierd

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) Two game threads would be the solution. Or you could just ignore it, and move on.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:20 PM) Why did it have to be Erstad? Well this will be the video clip on why we resigned him for next year.

Happy Birthday.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 07:20 PM) Interested to see some reactions, people down here have been mixed, probably more think it's pretty funny though; http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/0...t/index.html?hp I wonder how many laughs would of been had, if they had gotten close to the president and Secret Service shot and killed the main actor as a threat to the president.

The post game show is funny. Some moron tiger fan calls in to thank the sox for helping them get into the playoffs. I rub my eyes, and then take a gander at the standings and then laugh.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 12:15 PM) 160 gigs? I love it - but now I'll have to buy a new harddrive for my computer. How much for a 200gig removable hd? 500 Gig Sata External with USB 2.0 $109 at Fry's

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) You like him, I do not. It is my opinion he has shown me nothing, you love everything about him that is quite obvious. He may be good, he may be terrible, who knows. But unlike you, I don't like to bury young guys until they get more than a short period of time at the majors.
