This thread is a jinx, has cleveland lost a game since this was created?

"I enjoy being in Chicago," Griffey told WMVP-AM 1000 during the Reds' visit to Chicago this week to play the Cubs. "My family comes here a lot. I do have control. The Reds and Chicago have to make a deal." From the man's mouth. Anyone ready to get their hopes up again only to see this thing not happen?

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) Thanks SoxFan1. If I'm banned, how come I can access the website at work? I really don't know what's going on? If you can remember, sorry for the little trouble with you before. Who the hell had the nerve to ban me? Are you using mozilla at home? For whatever reason some people including myself have had problems accessing the site at times with mozilla. Try IE and see if that helps.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) That is an unrealistic proposition at this point unfortunately... They're 4 up for a playoff spot, it's not unrealistic at all....

Now this is how I would expect the Sox to lose a game in Oakland.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) If I am reading some of the pro Ozzie comments correctly, you would speak to your best friend and the rest of the world the same way, and everyone should just know how the remark was intended :headshake Ozzie is the most visible face of the organization the most often quoted individual. When he is perceived by the general public as dissing gays, that's bad. He didn't say, there's a really great guy. Or there's a fine family man, he clearly was making fun of the guy by calling him gay and/or a child molester. We can expand out from there that Ozzie obviously must think gay is not a good thing because he was making fun of him. Duh, it's an insult. Kids, feel free to insult anyone and everyone you come into contact with in life. Make the world adjust to you. f*** those people that can't take a joke. You'll do just fine in the job market. Tex, you've never called a friend gay before jokingly? I know I've ton it plenty of times, he was joking with one of his friends everyone does it. He didn't do anything wrong, the media is making something out of absolutely nothing.

Have a good one.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) The situation itself should ruin their credibility. 30 media persons in the dugout with Guilllen, yet only two--both, oddly enough, owned by the Chicago Tribune, decide to print his quotes. No one else finds this odd? Oh yeah, some will argue "his comments were insentive regardless of being printed or not!" Unfortunately, I don't believe Ozzie will shut his mouth or become polictically correct to appease a few whiners. Friends talk to other friends like this all the time. This has to be one of the worst articles ever written.

Hooray, this story is going national now.

The cardinals would be retarded to trade Boldin for T.O. that would make me very angry.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) I know I'm a bit slow but what is a sig bet? Please? Basically what SF1 said. Willie(gblum27) and I have made some sig bets and I've won all 3 Goldy actually made him a really cool sig when we had a sig bet on the ncaa tourny this past season

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Our record is better than theirs, but they sure as hell beat the s*** out of us every time we play them. We're the best team in baseball this year, and we managed to beat them twice. Playoffs are a different game. Like I said earlier in this thread we'll be hearing about how we can't beat oakland and they'll be hearing how they can't get out of the first round.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) thought i'd break out one i made for someone that never saw the light of day--for good reason: made it in june last year and, of course, koch was traded on 17th... You still have the Damaso/shingo one you made for me?? That sig absolutely rocked, I have it saved somewhere but I'm to lazy to look right now.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) I get the feeling some Sox fans would rather play Oakland and lose, then to not play them and oh, I don't know, maybe win the WS. [/color] Not at all. We're a better team then Oakland, bring 'em on.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) What exactly is the hood? I'm from the "mean streets" of Chicago, does that count? I'm from the mean streets of Buffalo Grove, it's sure tough out here.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) Now you can all stare in awe. I'm not gonna use this I was just f***ing around to see what I can do. Props to greasy for the cutouts. Life will be so much easier now when I beat you in all of our sig bets.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) What high school did all of you go to? Stevenson for me.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Boooooooooooooooooooo. Not a fan of witnessing destruction? Or getting taunted by kids from my school? I don't remember where I was, might have had bball.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I probably already asked you this but were you there when we raped you? No, that was the only game I think I didn't go to.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) Did you go to road games this past year? Yes.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) :headshake Well, we're screwed this year anyways without me there rooting for them.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) 42-17 Uhh, who asked for your opinion?

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) You're acting like we are betting on games and such. We have this thread every year. Fun to check in on Fri or Sat nights to keep up on schools. Most of us are out of school and just follow our alma mater's. Exactly. I remember last year how Stevenson beat some team in their own conference in the playoffs, I forgot who it was though....

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) : cool little article What's with the name change? I used to call you SnB now I gotta call you soxnbears Gas, that's a really cool article, congrats.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) As hard a AROW works... As much as he's busted his ass for years... I don't think he'd risk all that by trying to use steriods... I would bet my last dollar that he's clean... Besides you'd think as naturally strong as he is he'd have more then 9 HR's if he was on something... Now could Steroids make Pods faster... That might be something to look into... This is the f***in problem with this s***. Pods has a god given talent in his speed and because of it he's accused by a guy who is supposed to be a White Sox fan of doing 'roids. This thing needs to be cleared up and fast because people just tossing names out there because they're strong or fast isn't fair to most players.
