QUOTE(bmags @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) voice of the fan? Perhaps the uneducated, hot headed, unlistenable ranting fan, who are mostly the dolts who call his show, but not the type of fans you see here. the tough questions? Like, if god came down to you tonight, and said i'll give you three victories, but you have to shave your head, what would you do? you're right, he's a regular tim russert up there... Did you see a rush game? He was the worst announcer i've ever heard, just like his show, he ends up talking about some restaurant for an hour while i'm trying to watch the game By all means, I don't think he should be doing the games, I just think it reminds me of the Howard Stern movie Private Parts where no one could understand how he got ratings. He is an annoying blowhard, but then again, so is Dan McNeil. You know why McNeil hates the Score, and more significantly, North, because North decided to go on his own and try to make more money for himself. And no matter what anyone thinks, the truth is, North is the King at the Score and McNeil is pissed management took North's side instead of his. True, McNeil isn't half as good as he was once with Boers and North isn't half as good as he once was with Jiggets. But if you, I or your coworker, could double his salary by breaking up the chemistry at your company, you would do it.

My god, you guys are rough. I agree North can be unlistenable at times, but I do have to say, he is the ONLY person on Chicago radio that will ask the questions people want to have asked. Example: Last year he basically b****-slapped Scott Skiles back into the Bulls coaching job. He would ask the Sox tough questions throughout the year. Something Farmer and Rooney would not. Ed Farmer is such as kiss-ass, I think it would be refreshing for someone to say get pissed about Paulie grounding into anothe double play. Personally, I sometimes have to turn North off because he can be so damn annoying. But, he is the main reason the Score became a success. Bloated and annoying as he is, he was the voice of the fan. It's something that guys like Chet Coppeck, Bruce Levine, and Les Grobstein couldn't understand. When the Score came on the air, people were sick of these sports "nerds" and wanted someone that sounded like they did talking about sports at the bar. Just my opinion.

I will be ready to rock at the Algonquin store with my World Series Buehrle jersey and my World Champ hat.

He was pretty funny. Talked about how cool the parade was. Also said that Rowand has little-man's disease when he drinks. After a few, I guess Arow wants to fight everyone in the bar.

Brooks said in his press release for this video it will feature Sox commercials and the "famous" pregame video montage and player intros. None of those were on last night.

I will NEVER give Sammy Sosa credit for anything. He is a liar and a cheat and a fake. I could care less if he ever sees the inside of a a baseball park again. I can't stand him. And with all the steroid allegations surrounding him, I hope he doesn't get into the Hall of Fame.

I am just excited to see where he ends up so that we can all give him the Standing-O when the Sox present him with his ring.

Paulie is a Sox guy through and through. I just couldn't imagine him fitting in with the Angels or Orioles. Here he is Paulie, Paulie, Paulie. Somewhere else he would just be that Konerko guy.

What was the crowd like? Were people cheering throughout the film?

Ring day should always be opening day. Those guys have to wait until the season starts, why make them wait another day. I have never heard of this before.

Bruce Levine took himself WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too seriously. He's a pud who argued with everyone on the air at WMVP.

No commemoritve can, now THAT is a good reason to run on the field and beat someone up.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) That is flat out awesome. Should this be pinned?? I'm sure everybody would want to know about this, and most would want to watch at least some of the stuff. I agree. I will want to check this every few days to see what games will be coming up next. Please, someone in authority, put up on top.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) It was really nice to hear all the support when Bruce tried to start s*** with him on the radio.. I sent him the links to a few boards and he appreciated the comments. I wish he was going with.. their loss. 100% AGREE!.... Bruce was a complete jerk to BD.

Can we pretty much forget about there even being a Minnie Plan this year? That's what I bought last year.

Has anyone heard of any books being written on this year's team? Not just the commemorative books they are churning out, but ones written by actual writers. Just wondering.

If in the Western Suburbs, on Manheim just south of O'Hare there is a stand every two blocks or so.

Frank Thomas in the light blue properties??? Oh no!

We will be going to the Cincy game on Saturday. My brother in law is getting married in New York the following week so it works out perfectly.

A LOOOOOOOTTTTTT more of the "Premier" games. Now Cleveland and Minnie are Premier. And it seems much fewer Monday games.

Does anyone know if the Sox will be selling the gift certificates they sold last year? I received these for Xmas last year and bought the Minnie Plan with them at Soxfest. I was going to ask for them again this year, but haven't seen anything on this. Anyone know?

Torii was pretty cool, he said he wasn't expecting to win it at all.

But will there be a Minnie plan?

Any estimates on the crowd size?
