QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) I was sort of mad about that they traded down for Grossman/Haynes, but pissed me off more was the execution of their next two picks. To me -- and maybe this isn't true one bit -- the Bears had no f***ing idea who they wanted at #14 (or wherever) that year. Their pick came, and they then allowed what, one, two teams to pick ahead of them? I dunno, I just didn't like the pick of Haynes at the time. I've defended Angelo in the past, but if they lose again this season, it's time for a new regime. How about bringing someone in here who's been in an organization like New England's? Someone who's seen and been with a winner first-hand. well, what f***ed the bears over in that draft was when new orleans traded up to six to draft sullivan, then there was a quicksand of lineman until all that was left was haynes and they grabbed him. I remember when we were projected to get Kevin williams at 14, which would have been sick.

its fun when stereotypes are soo true.

sweet, i just got a neutral milk hotel live show

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 05:12 AM) True Romance but that was just a screen play who knows what would've been different if he had directed it...that said i like tarrentino... and obviously to me its pulp fiction, but resevoir dogs is a lot of fun to watch just for mr. blonde and mr. pink. Those two made the movie for me. I did love kill bill v1 and v2 as well and i did like jackie brown despite how ill it as recieved.

QUOTE(winodj @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) I'm excited. Found "Pocket Revolution" by dEUS online this week. This album won't be released in the states. i heard the new deus album was a dissappointment..

alright, i've listened to the new castanets, but for prolly more interest, i've listened to the new franz ferdinand...its pop gold. I loved it. Prolly 4 really good singles off of it, some really beautiful beatle-esque songs, just beautiful precision, this is why they are so popular. Maybe its just subconscious, but people love their precision. Castanets is really good too..when it comes out i highly recommend people check it out

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Full length CD and I got it ...er....via the internet. However it is available in the shops over here. its expensive though. like 20 bucks in stores.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) FF seems a little mainstream for you.. what ever, i looove franz ferdinand...beautiful technicians of pop music...very very good...i can't wait.

new castanets is really solid...i can't listen to too much of it though...i'm really looking forward to getting the new franz ferdinand today (it leaked), i really just need some mindless pop music...

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) ...what's an "ab routine"???

well i remember last year with the contreras trade we all said, "alright, this is good for the future cause were gonna have the best pitching staff in the division next year" i think we all saw that...then when people blew up cleveland when they signed millwood, i questioned myself...but this year was huge redemption for me.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Reading that made me think of Frank. He's as much a part of this team in the playoffs as any...i do miss the big man though.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Well can I make a suggestion that will probably be unpopular here? At the risk of getting my negative, dark-cloud, rain-on-the-parade, doomsayer ass expelled from yet another board, there may be another explanation: The games are too expensive. Hold on a sec, just hear me out: -As somebody pointed out above, if he brings just his wife to the game and drives, he's spent $70 before he walks in the gate. -I go almost always on my own (I meet my friends there, they're from all over). For one person--and remember not a family--it's something like this: -Ticket $30 -2 hot dogs/polish: $8 -Drink a beer an inning, for example: $42 And I don't need to drive or park, I take the el. That's $80 per game or somewhere near that. I cannot IMAGINE what it would be like to take a family there and everybody's eating or drinking $4 sodas. Let me give you an example of someplace else: I was in KC for two of those three games. The most expensive seat in the house there--I was behind our dugout, first row, but could have been behind home plate, is... $27. That's right, you can get front row for that kinda money there (although the concessions were just as bad). At Comerica it's the same as us more or less, and wouldn't you know it: great park, but they never sell out. There are no cheap seats in the Cell. Sure UD is cheaper, but in a lot of ballparks they have areas where you can pay like $10 to be right behind the fence in the outfield (like San Diego). The Cubs can get away with it because they have outrageous demand and limited supply. They even scalp their own tickets. Also think of where you're located: if it's city people who are coming, you might get some downtowners or freak Northsiders like me, but the park is on the South side. Latinos and African Americans in that part of the city generally, I'm guessing, can't afford numerous nights at Sox park. For all those from the South suburbs that come in, with all the driving and hassle and add to that the expense... Does this make any sense now? I remember on another board when ticket prices went up people were astounded to see a guy raising prices on seats in a park he can't sell out with any regularity. I know they can't even sell all the skyboxes (you can see the empty ones), and it's rare that you see the Scout Seats sell out. Just a thought. I could be wrong, and I'm not saying open the park up to street people, but it is not cheap. And maybe attendance is also a result of the economic times and people's economic outlook (post-Katrina, with gas prices also at $3). One other point: the Comcast numbers for Sox games has been down, but so has the Cubs. Media people don't know if this is an actual attendance drop or because of the Nielsen switch to people meters. haha, you're really not used to this board yet...i bet most of us agree with you if not close to all. But we all still go as much as we can...i was amazed how many times i made myself out to games this year with the limited funds i had. You do what you have to do to see our sox...and one series for the entire year should not be telling the whole story, and i wish the players would have recognised that.

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) Another speculation article stirring up the s***. :headshake Phil Rogers can s*** in his hat for all I care. The Sox will get it done without his little stats disproving them. after all, a team with no player hitting above 280 and no great rbi stats surely wouldn't be above 35 games would they? ANd what happened to that year we were supposed to win the pennant because we had 4 guys with a .280, 25 hr, 80 rbi stats???

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Would Jesse Jackson show up? we'll tell em its for something else...(shhhh)

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Don't worry... this will be all over soon enough and we'll be back to the happy bickering on SLaP. Pheew. no let me find a dave matthews fan to belittle.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) This is by far the exception not the rule. i know...this thread weirded me out though. as well as a thread earlier today i read.

i felt bad for jose early in the season, he was pitching fairly well but we didn't give him more than 3 runs a game ever..

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 05:17 PM) I love the Sox and have been to 12 games this year. That being said, should the media direct interest or reflect interest? If the Sox drew 3 million this year, there would be no negative attendance story. But we won't draw 3 million this year. Face it, like it or not, there are more Cub fans or people who call themselves Cub fans than Sox fans. And all this talk about shorter lines, blah, blah, blah is crap. Do you really go to the game hoping no one is there and the crowd won't sound super loud to spark the team? Everyone should want to see a full house. Perhaps you would like the Sox to have 14K for thier first playoff game so we can look like the laughing stock of the league. so you're saying we should hold a million man march in us cellular field to get to 3 mill?

while i know we're gonna win , and i know, because i SEE, that we have the best record in the big leagues.. it still feels so f***ing surreal. I just can't believe that this team that has finished a constant second for 4 straight years, now left everyone in the dust when they got rid of their 2 best hitters! Amazing really. this team puts me in good moods (though august i was a bit rubbish a lot of the time)

when did this board become a group of people just waiting to call out for a suspension on somebody else... a bit 1984ish.
