I'm in but going to chat makes me more ill than losing. 9 out of 10 things said are negative. Even when we have a lead , it's "we're gonna blow it." If you don't join the negative banter you're an outcast.

Yea what they all said.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) I think we will do to the indians what the 99 braves did to the mets that year. What happened was the Braves had a decent sized lead in August (i think it got up to 6 games at the most) and the Mets came back and were actually in first a couple of times. A big September series rolled around at Turner Field with the Braves just a half a game up over the surging mets. Well the Braves swept the Mets in 3 games and pretty much ended the division race. Chipper Jones pretty much won the MVP because of that series alone. He had something like 5 HR's in that series. That's exactly what i think will happen in the Sox-Indians Series. When did we get Chipper Jones ?

This is what baseball or any sport is all about. May the best team win and we all know its the White Sox !!!

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Funny, all the posters with choking avis have not posted in the game winning thread yet. I noticed that too.

Oh yes , Score 4 runs in 3 games and win 2 of them. Great pitching all the way around. Bring it on Cleveland , let's rock !

I thought it was pretty funny. It's to be expected from Indian fans . However I do not find our fans with the choking and hangman noose avatars to be funny at all. I know there's a lot of tense people here and others ready to bust out the "I told u so's" but relax and enjoy the ride. If we crash and burn at the end so be it, but it's been one helluva ride so far and it ain't over till it's over.

QUOTE(ChiSox9 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) Thanks for the welcome... I have actually been here for gods knows how long but have not posted in over a couple of years... but been following all of you very closely up until recently. Big Brother ??

Ozzie couldn't find room in the rotation for a guy who just pitched 14+ shutout innings against good hitting teams. That should tell you something.

Leave Pods in at the leadoff spot but the rest of the lineup needs a shakeup. Pods Iguchi Dye Kornerko Rowand Uribe Pierzynski (Everett here against lefties AJ dropped a spot.) Everett Crede

I'm not a big fan of that begging banner. Anything but that.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) I don't give a rats ass about the Indians. The Sox need to take care of business. They are in a position where if they handle their business, they don't have to worry about anyone else in the AL. Now get err done Chicago I'm with you Jason. If we're counting on some help from KC and TB we're not gonna get it. The Sox gotta start taking the bull by the horns and win this division. Win some damn games and things will take care of themselves.

Franks ability to play through pain and his recent statement regarding playing 3 more yrs certainly show his love of the game.

The unbridled enthusiasm exhibited in that post was just b****in', totally rad, like so awesome ! God I'm bauling ! Ok OK nuff said peace out .

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that players fall for being setup by these writers. They are so out of touch with reality with their salaries its sickening. If you've got a family of 4 and don't make around $100,000.yr. it's actually quite expensive to attend any sporting event. Tickets,gas, ballpark food, parking etc. take quite a chunk out of a paycheck. Also the Sox fanbase seems to be pretty young. Kids with the energy to travel to the ballpark don't have the cash or are back in school and the people with the cash don't appear to be Sox fans. I would be willing to bet that the avg. Sox fan travels a lot farther to see the Sox play then the avg. Cub fan. Hence more time and money needs to be spent.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) wtf...i updated my avatar with a Randy Moss pic (big raider fan). I see it on my PC. Guess it didn't go through?? I see Moss and oh yea Raiders suck. Go Bears !

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) By the way...that commercial with the guy in the laundry room yelling "It's the cycle" when Konerko's up to bat...have other people seen this one...I'm wondering how many people realize the inherent problem with that one. Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. It is pretty funny.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) I want this kid throwing 7 innings every 5th game starting next year. The last 2 games have at least sold me on that...especially if he works on adding in another pitch in the offseason. I think he's already shown it's not absolutly necessary to add another pitch.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 02:34 PM) Back during the Royals futility streak of 19 games I sent in an e-mail asking Hawk and DJ which they thought was harder to do win 20 in a row, which the A's did in '02 or lose 20 in a row. DJ said its always harder to win and Hawk said that they were both very tough to do. I TiVo'd it too, it was weird hearing Hawk say my name on the air, especially since it is so hard for some people to pronounce. I remember that one too, It also seems if you end whatever you ask with "Go Sox" they will read it.

This is being discussed in another thread started by me. And the title also misled me.

Oh damn the "good taste police" cleaned it up before I had a chance to see how f'ed up it was.

If Juan keeps this up the Sox won't have to pursue Rafael Furcal in the offseason unless they are thinking of moving Uribe to 3rd base.
