I just got back from the cell. I sat up in Section 506 freezing my ass off. Never felt so warm at the end watching the Pods homer go out. I am f***ing horse right now from screaming and yelling at the game. No amount of money that I could of gotten for the ticket would of been worth it. I have memories that I can tell my children about and down the road my grandchildren. This truly was an amazing day. GO GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I will have this sign: Credo in Crede Kudos to the first person who can tell me what it means (It's Latin, if that helps). I put this up on another board a while back, so some may recognize it. I believe in Crede. Ha, and I thought my latin in high school was worthless. I had to memorize this in high school for class. Catholic high school mind you. Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae. Which means I believe in one God, the father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 09:32 PM) So basically I am talking to a modern miracle. Wow. No one was more shocked than I was. I got it around 15 minutes after getting booted out like a million times and then deciding to take a shot on 1 ticket for game 2.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) What'd you pay for that, if I may ask. I was one of the lucky fools who had one browser get a hit on ticketmaster on tuesday. I paid the 125 plus ticketmaster fees.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Where you sitting? Section 506 row 18 up in the Euker seats. I am in the stadium is all that matters.

I was able to get one ticket only for game 2. So going solo.

LETS MAKE THE f***ING JETSONS DOG EAT s***

Now this is getting silly. Would I be a bit let down if they dont pull this out, yeah. Would I look at the season as a failure, f***ing no way. I am proud of our boys for getting to this point. A world frickin series in chicago. That doesnt happen. I told my wife last night, you know I always dream at the start of ST that these guys would get into the playoffs and go far. But I never really thought this team would get this far. I am very proud to be a sox fan. If they win this I will fly the champions flag high, if they dont I will keep my memories of a special season. This season has been great, lets finish this thing. LETS WIN THIS f***ING THING

Actually I am pretty positive about our offense in this one. The Astro pitchers are hard throwing guys who pound the inside. As much as I have abused our offense during the year for not going oppo, this could be just the trick for a pull fastball team. We cannot hit guys who throw 85-88 and spot a fastball on the outside corner. Those guys are like kryptonite to our guys. But hard throwers like Cabrera in Baltimore who feature a 98 mph fastball we light up like a christmas tree. All of the pitchers are fastball pitchers who pound inside. The only one that looks like he should give our guys fits is Backe because of his slider.

I cant believe it sold out already. Usually I pick up my tickets in early november. This will be the first time in years that I won't be able to go. Hopefully someone has extras that I can buy. It would suck to not go this year. If KW and Ozzie thought last year was a love fest holy s***.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) Very. Bar far the best WS gift. In the past I got a nice duffle bag, a jacket, and a signed team photo and ball. AS games they gave us player 8X10's and seat cushions and some other stuff. This is definitely way above those. What about game 2. Are they doing some sort of giveaway for that one.

Oswalt from what I have seen in the playoffs likes to pound people inside with the fastball. This works into our advantage. Guys who soft toss on the outside corner own this offense big time. Hard throwing guys who pound in on our hitters get lit up. This is the one time our pull offense is going to come in handy. The AL used to be more of a breaking ball league, over the last few years the harder throwers have been more and more in the AL. 94 and up doesnt phase our hitters. Guys like Byrd and other soft tossers give our hitters fits. I like our matchup here. Make clemens move his 40+ year old ass and lay off anything knee high as it is most likely a splitter. Konerko is going to tear this world series up.

Booyah 1 ticket section 506 row 18. And I will take it, wow.

Now I am shooting for a single ticket for game 2.

we're sorry there was a problem processing your request, please try again. f*** YOU TICKETMORON

Got down to 2 minutes for game 2 and the f***ing thing just jumped to 11minutes. Nice f***ing algorithim you ticketmaster code monkeys.

The ticketmaster site is getting destroyed.

IT WAS THE OFFICIAL 2005 CHAT CREW RALLY WHORE IN MY AVATAR THAT BROUGHT THIS TO US. GO RALLY WHORE.

I have been all over his ass all year long. My hats off to Crede and this team. Awsome. Happiest day of my life outside of the birth of my first born.

Jerry Owens went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored as the Venezuelan Winter League opened play yesterday. Owens, 24, hit .331/.393/.406 with 38 steals in 58 attempts for Double-A Birmingham this season. He's nearly certain to begin next year in Triple-A, but he'll probably spend some time in the majors as a backup before the season is over. He currently projects as a very good reserve.

THE COUNT IS UP NEXT. LETS GO COUNT. NICE JOB WHITE SOX. NICE f***ING JOB OFFENSE, I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR ASSES ALL YEAR LONG. ITS NICE TO SEE YOU PROVE ME WRONG AT THE RIGHT TIME. KEEP HITTING LIKE THIS AND WE ARE GOLDEN.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Everyone hates bandwagon fans right now, but, to be honest, the Sox need all the fans they can get. We all complain about how Chicago is a Cub town and the Sox do not get enough respect, etc., media coverage. There's one way to change that - Cub fan converts. Maybe they'll realize going to a park that doesn't smell like a urinal and has good food and ample parking isn't so terrible. And that rooting for a team that actually cares about winning might be more fun. Chicago, at one time, was a Sox town - especially when the Sox were good for 20 years in the 50's and 60's. You wouldn't believe it now, but it's true. The Sox drew nearly double what the Cubs drew in some years in the 50's and 60's. Bandwagon fans dont bother me. The more they buy their brand new crisp sox hats, and pay for tickets and parking the more we can spend on FA in the offseason. The more bandwagon fans, the better our team will be in the long run.

The key to the game offensively is to make Lackey throw strikes. Plate discipline is not our best feature. We need to make him throw strikes and not to do too much with his pitches. If we can tire him a bit maybe that curve will hang a bit and we can exploit it. We are away from home, so the golf swing homer shots should slow down a bit. It seems the minute we get home our approach changes. This is why we are a better road team.
