QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) 1) Why is a .200 hitter starting for the Sox at first? Why is Geoff Blum in the majors? You talk about how Ozzie is in love with Timo, what about this loser who should not be wearing a major league uniform? Get him off the team. It looks like the Timo's off the hook here, soxtalk has a new whipping boy. I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your post.

Day off, that is all.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) He was 1 for 5. He hit the ball hard 4 out of his 5 ABs. Not to mention he was robbed of a rbi(chances are) in his first ab.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) 1 bad game shouldn't automatically make you hate a player. It wasn't a bad game even.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) Blum had a chance to win some fans tonight and get the hit in extras to win it. He didn't. Don't like him. He still had a solid game. I like Geoff but it looks as if I'm in the minority.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) Sure, call me a homer but everyone does it. I am overly confident with the Bears and while being very optomistic, I am expecting a 0-16 season. Thats just my philosophy with them. Hope for the best but expect the worst...this way, you'll never be dissapointed. You know, this philosiphy doesn't work imo. You'll always be disappointed when your favorite team sucks, no matter what expectations you have for them.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) I have no complaints about the lineup today, Pods was due for a day off and it's been awhile since we've seen Blum. Though everyone seems to hate him, I don't mind seeing him in the lineup. Agreed with all your points.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) Anytime i see Blum's name in the lineup i want to :puke . Where's Gload?? He hits very well against LH's Gload won't play a game this year against a lhp.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) apparently we say pop and sox weird, according to my girlfriend. also brats, well that one was a given. When I was in Baltimore a few years back I was told I say "Chicago" funny as well.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) The post I quoted was from 3 weeks ago, oh brilliant one. Uhh, don't mind me. I read through this thread quick, saw you quoted that and didn't even look through the date. Carry on, nothing to see here.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) He said that like 3 weeks ago too. He'll be back.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) worser College....YES!!!

Juggs, this is all you.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) Big series this weekend, but as long as the Sox don't get swept, no reason to really panic if we lose a few games. I'm not going to be in the game thread for the next two days, so I'll say it now "PULL HIM OZZIE!". Go White Sox! You forgot, "why the f*** is damaso coming in" ok, now you're set Like Tony said I'm very excited for this series, there's definitely a chance this could be the first round matchup. Both teams play similar games should be a very fun, exciting, low scoring series.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 08:27 AM) I missed the entire game last night and I keep hearing we stole home. Someone described the play to me this morning and it doesn't sound like a steal to me. Can someone give me the situation and what happened. Thx. Howell tried Picking Scotty off at first, once he started to throw the ball there, Ozuna broke for home and slid under thte tag, it was an awesome play.

I'd rather keep Pablo out there. He's become very comfortable at 3rd and he's been solid out there for a while now, plus having him in the 9 slot can really make things happen for the bottom of the order with his speed turning the lineup over to Pods.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) LMFAO I shouldn't be laughing...cuz the Pats are probly gonna kill the Bills this season too...but oh man, that was just too awesome. I hate both of you.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:09 AM) When you're running naked down a North Dakota street in late October, with it probably snowing, and you screaming your f***in lungs out, I don't think you're gonna care too much whether or not ESPN ignores you. Just write White Sox 05 Champs on your body and then you can maybe get on SC

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) Let's just say for a second that Chicago AL won the big series at the end of the season. Would media outlets like ESPN continue to ignore this franchise and act as though they do not exist? I could see the top story on Sportscenter being how disappointing it was that the Bo Sox couldn't get back to the WS rather than how the other Chicago team won it all. I do not know and I would not care, I'd be so f***in excited that nothing else would matter.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) That is about exactly what I'm rooting for. That would be absolutely fine with me.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:40 PM) What do you have to worry about? I doubt the Pats challenge the Dolphins for the 4th place title this year. me you

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) Watch out for WSI, that place will ban you for saying that el duque has aged and therefore might not be as good a postseason pitcher as he previously was. They do have a cult, it is a cult of optimism. Heretics are burned. You were absolutely ridiculous at wsi, I agree they've went to far but you deserved it imo.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:20 PM) Idonno they didnt really impress me much... I just think Oakland is really bad coached team right now and their secondary is a joke... And they didnt use their WR's like they should of. Meh, first game of the season. They didn't play their best game but they didn't have to. They're going to be right back in the superbowl imo, I wish they'd just go away but they won't.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) In the overall scheme of things, those count as fans, because they are going to the ballpark. Doesn't matter who's hardcore and who's not - we're only talking about attendance. Well you were talking about fans Attendance is a whole different story.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Damn, you sound bitter. So young, yet so full of angst. LOL, I'm not bitter, I could care less about attendance like I've said numerous times here. Just speaking the truth though.
