LosMediasBlancas

I recognized like 5 of them.

Get used to it, until we get our act together. Topics to be in headlines on May 1st: Overrated Can't win when they don't get all the breaks and luck runs out Too many changes in off season upset the team's chemistry Pitching was a one year fluke Like I've always said, people love to hate the Sox.......and it's not just Cub fans. Based on 5 games, am I supposed to believe in a Brewers/Tigers WS and the Yankees finishing last in the East? We'll be fine.

"...He was the same man who , every day for the past week , had sauntered past her house near Olmos Park, at one point telling the 30-year-old single mother not to work too hard as she was raking leaves in a bikini, she said . Later that day, Mann saw him peeking into her kitchen window and examining her front door." Let's examine this paragraph a little more closely. What made her say she was raking leaves wearing a bikini? Why was the bikini an important detail to mention in the story? What made her not report this guy after one whole week of this behavior? KG, I have no idea what you're talking about.

FWIW, April 5th, the 3rd game of the season and trophy giveaway day had a lot of empty UD seats.

Do Illinois state ID's for people under 21 year of age still have that red border around them?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) That's the new Chili Peppers song, right? I've never liked them, so naturally I hate it. The video was interesting the first time I saw it, but that kind of schticky video tends to get old in a hurry. I like how when they're "themselves" it's supposed to be better than the "old bands" they portray, but they look spastic hopping around to that mid-tempo lite-rock they do now. Local H said it best "And here we go again It's never gonna end We're all so sick of California songs Yeah we know you love L.A. but There's nothin' left to say Please no more California songs .....and f*** New York too" :finger

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) I'm going to the Dentist in 3 weeks, haven't been for 18 months (my Dentist sends out reminder cards in the mail). So it's time for the max brushing and flossing to begin. Screw that. It costs me $90.00 for a cleaning, I'm gonna make my dentist work for it. I load up on Oreo cookies, butterfinger candy bars and coffee right before my appointments.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) I'm surprised no other sports outlets have picked up on this story. Nothing thus far from Foxsports, yahoo, or ESPN. This can morph into a HUGE controversy if ESPN, among others, have a backbone and report on the comments of Clemens. Ding, ding, ding, ding.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 12:22 AM) I was there, dude. After 8PM it got COLD. Not just cold (probably low 40s, upper 30s) but with a nasty wind that was swirling around the whole place. Even the ushers were going inside under the stands to get out of the wind. Up until that point it was a perfect spring night for a ballgame. I also noticed that quite a few Sox players had nothing on under their jerseys (meaning: turtleneck or long-sleeve t-shirt) which surprised me. I had a long-sleeve T and I was freezing when that wind blew. But yes, just a few seats down from me were guys in their polo shirts that seemed totally unaffected. Go figure. Oh, I believe you, I just found it strange that so many people looked totally comfortable.

Funny, they kept talking about how cold it was, no one at the park looked cold. I saw a lot of people in t shirts or just a sweatshirt.

I'll stick to the predictions I made a month ago. The Sox would lose the opening series to Cleveland, have a losing record in April and still win the division. By the way, this site has a new Timo and his name is Pablo.

um, great?

I heard some interesting attempts at pronouncing Mackowiak the other day.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 04:09 PM) It does, have one already what number did you go with?

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) Garland, Anderson, Konerko and MCcarthy that's not gonna fit.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) I believe I saw them at the Cell, and if not there I def saw them at Grandstand. def NOT at the Cell, not a GS 1 week ago.

QUOTE(3RDBASE @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 12:25 PM) THOME! I'm surprised it took 8 posts. By the way, has anyone seen a Thome T-Shirt yet? I can't find one ANYWHERE.

the new Ebbets? http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5479310

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) Has anybody ever taken a hot shower with his new hat on? Apparently it's suposed to make it fitting for your head. Is this true? yeah, but the shampoo stains will show up once it dries.

LosMediasBlancas is Spanish for The White Sox. I know you think it should be 'Las', but ya gotta trust me on this one, it's 'Los'.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) You're probably right. The AL trophy is with the one in the office so that might be the real one? Or maybe the really real one is in Jerry's office. ....his HOME office.

Yep, we got in to see it last night after the bullpen bar, after the game. It was also in the case outside the main gift shop during the game. The guy said they moved it after the game, we suspect they have a few replicas floating around.

I always get the guy who went to the game by HIMSELF, got lit up and is sitting right next to me and wants to be chat buddies for nine innings. He's not really being billigerent or doing anything wrong, but he's spewing drunk gibberish and he is usually extremely loud. Everything starts with "Hey buddy" and that's all I can make out. The best part is, after a while everyone around me thinks he's with me and they starts huffing and puffing and giving me that 'get that drunk asshole otta here' look.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:00 AM) I would have prefered plat also. 56: I have a habit of being in the right place at the right time. LMB: It does look "eggy" now that you mentioned it, but in the flesh there's nothing "chicky" about it . It's actually more flat on the finger then it looks, and it is way heavy. Maybe it's because I saw it on a female's hand that it looked kinda feminine.
