QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Glad to see you trust the government to kill citizens. Equally interesting that we used Iraq's use of the death penalty as justification to take over their country. I don't trust our justice system enough to allow humans to be put to death. There have been too many mistakes both in innocent people being found guilty and guilty people going free. It isn't a deterrent, doesn't save money, doesn't bring back the victims. That's it Tex, I'm calling the Comittee of un-Texan Activites on you!

Cool new commercial...
Yeah...I was really trying to figure out how they did that. Looks real. The things they can do nowadays are amazing.

Win it For..
Win it for the White Sox themselves, who were told they were the underdogs through and through. And here's hoping they win it for you. (Everyone likes some crappy poetry in the afternoons, ooh).

What skin do you use for soxtalk?
Well, I've never changed mine, so I thought it was default, but mine is silverish gray not blue. Hm, that was a run-on sentence.

Don't play umpire
Yes, the Sox have been getting quite a few breaks, but all of you are right--the Sox are making them count. I saw on one Angels message board after the call that was someone was calling it "Black Sox Two"....

My Super Sweet 16
QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) This stupid b**** they had an episode about her on tonight called her mom a b****. WTF! My mom would have beat the s*** out of me, told my dad, then he would beat the s*** out of me too. Then, she gets a brand new motherf***ing Audi on her birthday! WTF! And on top of that, they tricked her into thinking she was going to get a 4-5 year old car in "pretty" condition and the b**** was pissed off. f*** YOU b****! JUST CUZ ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY, IT DOESNT MEAN YOU GET WHATEVER THE f*** YOU WANT YOU SPOILED RICH b****! f*** YOU! :End of Rant: Yeah, I saw that episode a few weeks ago. I was appalled when she was pissed off that she was getting a 4 or 5 year old used Audi on her birthday. Sadly, it's these reactions that give MTV ratings. Ah, I'm at fault too, heh.

Question about 1919.
As far as changing the name goes--I was a lot more upset that the name was becoming soemthing corporate, than I was at the name Comiskey changing.

White Sox Playoff Tickets
Yes, but if it's a Boston fan you'll be $1400 richer.
-
Question about 1919.
That is true. However, going with the "Any publicity is good publicity" idea, FAR more people have heard about 1919 than 1917. 1917 wouldn't sell nearly as much.
-
Question about 1919.
Yes, the reason was more Comiskey than anything. However, for the reason we aren't "ashamed" or what not of that tean, and still wear 1919 jerseys, that's a little tricky. Perhaps, as Critic said, it's because we're a little detached because it was so long ago. My theory however, is that we are also intrigued by the whole mystique of it...did Shoeless Joe really throw it? That's the biggest part of it, nowadays. If you go up to a casual White Sox fan (not bandwagon, just not as diehard as some folks here), there is a good chance that of all the Black Sox, they can only name Shoeless Joe. So, bottom line: we still wear 1919 jerseys and the like because A) it was a long time ago and B)we are more intrigued by it than anything else in Sox history. Anyway, that's just my theory. Who knows.

Guess who's throwing out the first pitch?
This is awesome! It's great to have playoff baseball in Chicago again.

I hope Ozzie reconsiders his Closer Situation
If Jenks knows when to throw the curve and when to throw the heat, he'll be fine.

Alan Trammell
I really think Trammel is a good manager, and will find a home somewhere else.

Sox farm system
I'm pretty sure Brad Snyder was their first rounder in 2003 or 2004.

Who is choking now????
But wouldn't it only have been a choke if they actually lost the lead? Nevermind though, it's a very hackneyed argument.
