This season is an embarrasment already, winning meaningless games doesn't change that. Winning games at this point does absolutely nothing for this organization, losing on the other hand could. I want the first pick, I want this team to lose right now.

Really Clemson fans?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 05:41 PM) The best answer to your question can be found in this post at SSS -- it's a quote from Coop: So it's going to be a giant clusterf*** to October 1st, as Jon Stewart might put it. Ya, jeez. Thanks for that sir.

Anyone know if Gavin is going to make another start this season? You'd think he'd at least earn one more start after his quality outing last time.

The Cubs really are a bad team.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 04:28 PM) Furcal makes the most sense for this club. He fills the hole at SS without losing much defensively, he is fine fit for the lead-off spot, and with his 08 salary, combined with Hu looking to be ready for the Dodgers, he shouldn't cost a ton. I still believe a solid September from Contreras, combined with a C+ level prospect could land Furcal this off-season. I'd love to get Furcal but I have to disagree about Contreras landing him. Not a chance, imo. I still have no problem with Eckstein being this teams ss next season.

Boo.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 10:03 PM) That makes 2 pools God damn it. I'm a f***in moron.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) There I am, hanging in a dear friend's apartment in Uptown. We're talking about life and relaxing. We'd spoken before about how she needs to see Wrigley Field. (I think it's a beautiful park, the more I go there, and it's a great place to go, IMO, except for the team and fans, but that doesn't bother me too much.) Suddenly I say, "Let's go," and we wound up getting there at the start of the fifth inning. We wound up in the third row, in the club section, right behind the Cubs bullpen. There's Kerry Wood, ten feet in front of me. Ohman. Howry. Dempster. And so we sit there, relaxing, enjoying the day and chit-chatting about baseball. Mocking the Cub fans. Laughing when they chant "Asshole! Asshole!" at Carlos Lee. Cheering Lee for his double and scoring. Enjoying the game though we're losing and I think we're going to lose. And then the eighth starts and I say to D., "I'm going to try and heckle Dempster into a blown save. If I get us kicked out, will you be mad?" Laughter. "No, but, be careful." "Well, I'm not going to threaten his life or anything." So I start when he gets up. First with You Sucks and then Your Team Sucks, First Place or Not and then all sorts of variations on "You Suck." Just screaming at him between pitches for the whole eighth inning and when the Cubs had two outs in the ninth I yelled at him, "It's almost time for you to suck, Dempster. But I guess there's always time to suck when you're Ryan Dempster!" ("That guy's harsh," said a Cub fan behind me.) There were these skinny, so-skinny-they're-somewhat-sickly-IMO girls in front of us and they hated me. So when I'd yell they'd meekly say, "Go Ryan!" and I'd yell louder that he's awful, "I don't care what your save percentage says, you're a fluke." And when he was leaving he shot me a dirty look. Gave me a dirty look a couple of times. I'd like to believe that I heckled Ryan Dempster into giving up a homerun to Carlos Lee that left the park. A friend of mine in Boston says he heckled Billy Koch into blowing a save. That was my inspiration, and I've never been that close to The Enemy's Bullpen at any park (I often sit behind the Sox dugout in the Cell) so I had to seize the dog. Shoulda threatened his life.

Good to see we kept pace with Tampa.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) 5-10, 130.5 We need to get you some steroids or something.

Well I didn't sign up yet but I swear I picked Appy State today.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 05:56 PM) I've lost five pounds since heading to college, to 130.5. Are you a midget by chance?

He's no Mark Buehrle.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) What do you U of I fans think of this weekend's game in St. Louis? I'll be there, anyone else making the trek? I'll be there. LETS GO....Good game?

Well it looks like there is about 2 of us, but I have absolutely no problem with David Eckstein being a member of the Sox.

Yay College Football.

A 3.75 era in the national league is going to win the cy young? Uh...about that.

If you start a thread with the title "Fear God" then you should expect someone to poke fun.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 11:05 AM) Just what I'm sure we all wanted to hear... Oh sweet grinder! I'm not as opposed to Eckstein as a lot seem to be. I'd prefer him to be at 2b but I wont be too pissed if he's our ss next season.

QUOTE(JERMAINEDYE4MVP @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 08:50 PM) EXACTLY BRO. THEY THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS YOU ARE A TROLL AND A CHILD. THESE ARE PROBABLY THOSE THAT NEVER GET OUT OF THEIR MOMS BASEMENT TO SEE THE REAL WORLD. Actually, posts such as this one that I'm quoting are what make people think you're a troll. Your caps lockness is quite annoying but there are certainly other reasons why people think you suck.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 09:51 AM) Football? I thought he was going to FSU? Ah sorry, I follow basketball recruiting much more than football so I didn't even think to decipher, my bad.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 12:13 PM) Cox deserves plenty of credit. As to the rest? Schuerholz says that he doesn't think people who rip his organization for not winning the Series understand the game of baseball or the history of the Streak. And by the way, the Braves have been to more series in Schuerholz tenure than the White Sox in all their history. What does that mean? A variety of things. Most important of which is to ask, What, exactly, are you trying to say? when you say "Atlanta = Rings = Chicago." That's bulls*** and it's silly. Well of course Schuerholz is going to say that. Man, we all understand how great of an organization the Braves are, we don't need to hear about it every other post from you though.
