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.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) This is a cubs town. Always has been, always will be. Anyone want to venture a guess on the percentage of cubs fans in this city? There just aren't enough 'sox fans' to go around and make it 35,000 every night. There are many other reasons, but that's the big one in my mind. The sox have as much if not more fans then the Cubs. Problem is the cubs get all the bandwagon, fair weather, tourist, etc, they get that whole group. Oh yeah that stupid park they play in helps them draw fans as well even when the cell is much nicer.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) Viz sucks. Viz had a 2.25 era in June, 1.20 in July, 3.48 in August, and so far he hasn't let up anything in september. Damaso has a 4.50 era in June, 2.57 in July, 4.32 in August, and 18 so far this month. Right now Viz is definitely better.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:58 PM) Pats are pulling away now. 30-14. These guys are so amazing. Yes they are. I'd prefer if they'd switch divisions though.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) Our offense just got shut down by J.P. Howell. Don't get me wrong. I feel we're a better team than the Indians, but it's not by nearly as much as some are making it out to be. I don't think highly of the Indians and I think we're MUCH better then them. I think the tribe are the worst team out of the wildcard bunch but that's obviously jmo.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) I'm thinking Kotsay will come away with the GG. Unfortunately the gold glove basically became meaningless to me when Jeter won one last year. Rowand and Kotsay are the two best outfielders in the A.L. this year with Hunter on the dl for a lot of the season.

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) We could easily get our asses kicked by Cleveland. We could easily kick their asses like we have all season.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) While it obviously works both ways, depending on your glass half full/half empty take, would it be good or bad to meet the Indians in the playoffs? While we have seen there pitchers alot this season, they have seen ours just as often. Would you rather see someone that you have already seen 19 times, or only 6? I'd love to play the Indians just cause I think we'd walk all over them but that's jmo. Also if we play the Indians that means we're already in the alcs, so that would be nice.
