We're two f***in wins from winning the world series. Who gives a f*** what assholes in the media think.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 08:39 AM) If they're eating that much salary, it's gotta be big time talent. I'd imagine they'd try to pry away B-Mac (obviously not happening). I'm not really sure what they'll actually get in trade though, it should be interesting. I'm not so sure about that. If Philly wants to get rid of Thome which they basically need to do then they're going to have to eat a huge portion of that salary.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) yeah...plus i loved carmen defalco doing the games in spring training...i found him very sharp and very prepared. I think he has a future there. I found buck to be the only one complaining, espn didn't dwell on it, they did mention it as they should've but those types of calls are blown all the time, i mean when i happend there was no doubt in my mind he was hit, until they slowed it down and went FRAME BY FRAME on a play that lasted .3 seconds did i realise the error. Carmen was awesome in spring training doing the color.

During Joe's first ab today I actually yelled out "CMON RALLY CREDE" Everyone around me probably was like wtf is he saying.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) A course I dont listen to ESPN radio because other than Mac, Yerko, and Harry its all crap... Silvy and Carmen are even better then M,J, and H imo. But besides that I think it's all crap as well.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:21 AM) It's like I tell the Cubbie trolls at my work: It's NOT about the break you get, it's about what you DO with it! If the Astros don't hang a meatball to Paulie, the "controversy" doesn't happen. And that's assuming that Jermaine wouldn't get a big hit anyway - after all, it would have been a foul ball, NOT strike three, and Wheeler was anything but solid in that at-bat. No one is even talking about that play on the stros or what not. Media is trying to make something out of nothing as usual.

Happy bday elcaballo, happy bday ryan, have fun at stevenson.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 23, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) I know he's been trying to work in a cutter, but I hope they teach him a changeup like they did with B-Mac down in Charlotte, and we all saw the results of that. The f***in cutter he throws is nasty. Anyways, I agree he should use the curve a bit more, the pitch to bagwell wasn't that bad and the pitch to vizcaino was right there for him to hit and he hit it, the thing that gets bobby in trouble also is sometimes he's to around the plate if that makes sense. The pitch to bagwell wasn't horrible but it was down, if Bobby gets his heater at the letters most of the time he won't be touched. Closers have nights like this, he'll shake it off and get right back out there.

Just got home a few minutes ago, I just don't know what to say anymore, so I'll just say TWO f***IN MORE :headbang

I hate celebrities.

Hats off to Jose also. He was having trouble today but only allowed 3 in 7 innings. That's one of the differences in Jose, when he didn't have his good stuff or good control before he used to get drilled now he can control the damage and still pitch a good game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 22, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) Meanwhile, some Soxtalk admin is 11-1 with game threads.... Who?? I can not wait to get to the park tomorrow.

THREE f***IN MORE GUYS, BOBBY, NEAL AND JOE....YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

I only wear basketball shoes, won't wear anything else.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 22, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) He probably got tired of hearing you cry about the Cardinals.... My wife has a larger tolerance for whining, apparently, cuz there's no ticket waiting for me..... Pssh, I couldn't care less about the cardinals, they just pissed me off cause they didn't let me win their lottery for world series tix. Well, that doesn't matter anyways. Aren't you taking your wife somewhere tonight and missing the game?? I think you should use that as an excuse to get a ticket.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 22, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Just a little over 4 hours... Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B Dye, RF Konerko, 1B Everett, DH Rowand, CF AJ, CF Crede, 3B Uribe, SS Contreras, SP Let's get 4 more guys.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Oct 22, 2005 -> 06:27 AM) If we win it all, Wouldn't a logical answer be to keep the team as is? IF it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm completely with you here ranger. Even if we dont win it all we can tweak the team a bit without getting rid of this core. Upgrade at dh that way we can improve our offense without messing with the defensive studs on the left side of the infield, also get rid of Damaso and Viz, throw the duke in the pen, Brandon in the rotation, and sign someone like a Mike Myers who can be that LOOGY that ozzie seems to need, and Myers is devastating on lefties.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 22, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) Fair weather fan. My friend that I was just talking to basically said the same thing as you, best football game he's ever seen. Mike Morrisy was the one who blocked the kick by the way. See you on thanksgiving weekend.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Warren and Stevenson were tied at 21 after a TD pass from Stevenson with 24 secs left and went to Overtime. Stevenson got the ball first and ran it in on 3 plays and added the extra point to make it 28-21. First play for Warren was an out pass to Marcus Lewis for the quick strike, extra point added made it 28-28 going to a 2nd OT. Incidently, High School overtime is like college, only the ball is on the 10 instead of the 25. Warren got the ball first in 2OT and on the first play threw a TD pass to Marcus Lewis again. Extra point BLOCKED by Stevenson. Stevenson's possession was 3rd and Goal on the 5. The ran a play out of the T formation it looked like. They faked a hand off to there star RB and everyone fell for it as the ball was actually handed off to another back and he ran in untouched. The whole place was fooled. Extra point was good and Stevenson knocked off Warren 35-34, in one of the greatest High School football games I have witnessed. These two school could play again in two weeks and it will be AT Stevenson if it happens cuz of tonight's actions. I wouldn't be surprised if either school wins 8A.

I get home on the train from college today, my dad picks me up and has a ticket for game 2 just laying in the car. I don't think I've ever been so happy well atleast since sunday. I can't wait. :headbang

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) WHORE Meh, gotta do what you gotta do.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) I have been saving good newspapers for the whole season. Plus I grabbed a few of the different newspaper box signs to go with them. I have every newspaper from every game of the postseason except after game 1 of the alcs, I guess I forgot to pick that one up. I think it's just a cool thing to have.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) First off I know I am not liked around here becuase well I speak the truth Truth=Orlando Cabrera for MVP and Russ Ortiz for Cy young.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) I'll change lose to "choke" then. Although that was flavour of the month last month wasn't it. Hey, don't lump me in with that group.

To answer this question tex I honestly still don't know what I'm feeling. I can't wait for saturday, I want to win this whole thing so damn bad. For me atleast, it's going to hurt a lot if we don't win it but like Tony said IF we lose and once I have some time to get over it I'll just think back on how special of a season this was. That being said lets win this f***in thing.
