QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) It IS a Cubs town and will ALWAYS BE. Be careful what you wish for, guys. Already, season tix are gone for 2006. I tried to buy an Ozzie plan and they were all upper deck, NO Cubs tix included and NO special games (like 1/2 way to St. Pats or 4th of July). So while the Cubs will ALWAYS outdraw us, our attendance has SKYROCKETED. I almost keeled when I saw all the people at the parade--where the hell WERE these people all season? Not at the games! I was--I have pix of me and the other 8,000 faithful shivering in May games last year. LOVED the idea that the Sox I had all to myself. No more. I walked into a sports store on Michigan this week. Last year, if you walked in, it was 95% Cubs stuff and you were lucky if they had maybe 2 Sox jerseys and a couple of crappy t-shirts. Now it's reversed--they have an entire WALL of Sox stuff, about seven jerseys, and even my local WHITE HEN has a little White Sox kiosk with pennants and the DVDs. I for one am more than willing to accept a LOSS of attendance if it means enjoying full access to the park, like last year and years prior (until the playoffs, that is). This is just too much. LET the Cubs have the attendance--TRUST ME. They sold out all last year and they SUCKED. This year they will be even worse. But no matter how you slice it, we are World Series Champions. Period. a couple points...as for the parade...frankly there aren't many ticker tape parades in chicago...so a lot of those people were just spectators, non baseball fans, cubs fans and sox fans. It was quite a sight! and secondly, you know...my dad was a baltimore orioles fan for his entire childhood...moved to chicago 23 years ago...and he's been a loyal sox fan for 16 years...Bandwagoners aren't as bad as people make out sometimes...

if you can pitch you can pitch...i've personally always advocated moving our first round pitchers directly to the big leagues to find out if they'll fail or succeed without hesitation...

Should be a nice way to conclude my weekend after returning from a fabulous day of shopping and facial treatments at the local salon. hahaha, man, i just had to explain to my roommate why i laughed so hard...which was awkward.

is there something else you want to tell us f. tizzle?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 19, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Yeah, that's what I am thinking I am going to have to do. But I am hoping to not have to do that, as even $75 is a little tough to find right now. Anybody want to start a charity fund for me? say you are running the chicago marathon

no it wont

if logan had a sex change... actually i'm not really sure where i'm going with this...

QUOTE(WCSox @ Mar 18, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) I understand that, but I think that the current political climate also had a lot to do with the funding for this movie. Investors have a more-numerous target market for this picture than they did back in the '90s. The same could be said for Syriana. well that's because you're silly. This type of story is pretty classic, and would do well at any time period. but everyone is out to get bush, you're right.

are we really worried about a bad spring training record?

i see paris i see france...err oh not a good time is it

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 04:53 PM) I don't know if they would or not. Maybe? The Pixies got 35 bucks a ticket, the Cult 40, Billy Idol 47. I don't know if the Smiths hold enough status with as many people. Maybe I'm underestimating their position in the world of alt-rock nostalgia? i think they do...their s/t and the queen is dead are considered musts...

really after you get it through your head that you will cut it off its pretty easy after that... -Ben the Eunich

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) It's The Pogues and Mr. Shane McGowan all day today! Well jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn And they all looked very happy in the morning Now jimmy didn’t like his place in this world of ours Where the elephant man broke strong men’s necks When he’d had too many powers So sad to see the grieving of the people that he’s leaving And he took the road for God knows in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet sally maclennane I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn And ended up a barman in the morning I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown I heard them say that jimmy’s making money far away And some people left for heaven without warning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane When jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone He asked me all the details of the train that they went on Some people they are scared to croak but jimmy drank until he choked And he took the road for heaven in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane i'm pretty sure the pogues are IRISH

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 04:09 PM) I hate the whole Smiths-Morrisey-Cure sound. Whiny, dickless crap. There, I feel better. you're dickless... yeah that's all i got...its st. pattys day and i'm already drunk.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) I just read that the Smiths *supposedly* turned down a $5 million offer to reunite for Coachella. ( I'm not buying that dollar figure for one minute - the Smiths were an okay band, I just don't think they'd merit that kind of cash for a one-off appearance ) i think you underestimate their popularity...i mean i'm suprised how popular morrissey is...(considering since viva hate i consider all his stuff to be pretty MEH) and add johnny marr back into that mix...i think they might be more popular now in america than before...

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 17, 2006 -> 01:27 PM) Cool. I'll be getting it today. oh god, i hope you don't mean in stores...
