I'll be in attendance tonight....let's make it 2-0 for me. Willis will walk in 10 and we will win 10-2.

QUOTE (CubKilla @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 09:19 AM) Replaying the Monday show after Artie got physical with a show staffer again and walked out was a joke. What the hell am I paying $12.95 a month for? I guess I'm one of the few that thinks Howard has been mailing it in since, "The Revolution." A 4-day work week, a weeks vacation seemingly every second or third week, 9 out of 10 guests are of little or no consequence, etc. While never a big fan of Bubba the Love Sponge, he works longer hours, does 2 shows a day (terrestrial and satellite), works a 5-day work week, has limited vacations, etc. And at least with Ferrall, I can guarantee myself entertaining sports talk minus the American Idol and Dancing with the Stars BS which, I think most Stern fans, can care less about. As far as Artie goes, WAAAA!!!!! Cry me a river fat ass. WAAAA!!!!! He's in the twilight of his career, and has set back his hours. It still beats everything else out there. What you going to listen to, Eric and Kathy? Did you listen this morning? I enjoyed Jay Thomas followed by Bubba on 101.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 07:03 AM) I initially went over for Howard, but I rarely listen to local radio, I love the commercial free music. Listening to it right now at my desk. Also, the comedy station (Raw Dog) is great. I love the service. When/if Howard retires in 2 and a half years I will keep it. I think a new technology, someone may know when it started but I think around 2000, that has something like 14 millions subscribers combined is pretty impressive. I never listen to regular radio anymore...the commercials are too much. Especially the Score. You turn that channel on and its half commercials.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) Luckily for me...I don't pay attention to either one of them. You should pay attention to Oprah...she has some good books you should read.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) LMAO I should have said he is not one for fake stuff on his show.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) sounds like Harry telling Mac to kiss his sack on the air a few years back. That was quite a publicity stunt as well Mac is a stern fan...he might have tried to emulate his idol, but it just doesn't work.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) publicity stunt. You know, Howard has never been one to do that...and if you heard it, it was not possible. True anger was seething from this guy today. It was nuts to listen to, if you are a fan of the show.

This was crazy stuff today. Artie was crying when he left the studio. Artie Lange walked out on the Howard Stern Show after an argument with his personal assistant on the air, and now the question remains whether he will ever return. The argument between Lange, who joined the show permanently in 2001, and his assistant of 2 years, Teddy, quickly escalated from a simple squabble over travel accommodations. As the spat continued, Lange became enraged and physically lashed out at Teddy, but the physical confrontation was apparently diffused by other members in the studio. When Lange returned, he said Teddy would be "dead" had he reached him and that he'd be in jail. Stern said he cannot condone Lange's actions, but Artie (who's been prone to such outbursts) said he can't guarantee he won't act out in the future. Artie then offered his resignation, and Stern accepted but told Lange to leave and cool off. Teddy returned to the studio several minutes later and said there was overreacting from everyone. Howard Stern and producer Gary Dell'Abate said they "did not know what to make of it all."

I'm a fan of shaved privates to show team unity.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) Hate the fuzzy channel. With the Flubs, Bulls and Sox playing tonight I knew we would get the shaft. Go Sox! If you have Comcast, and HDTV, they now have an HD channel which looks good.

QUOTE (Hanky Panky @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 12:29 PM) can't watch the game ... stupid WCIU. I wish I lived in Chicago. Loser

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 10:14 AM) It did indeed change - you now cannot smoke anywhere in The Cell except for outside by Gate 5. And I agree its a little insane. I can fully understand not allowing smoking in the seats, the ailses, and the concourse areas - especially with kids around. No need for the majority of us to breathe other peoples' smoke. But I thought the ramps was a reasonable compromise. I smoked by gate 5...but lots of people were just walking a little down the ramps and smoking. I am a smoker, and understand people not wanting to be around it at a restaurant, or whatever. But on a ramp at a game? At a bar? Jesus christ. I just won't smoke at the game...or have like 1. I'll survive.

When I look at this Minnesota lineup, a line from Major League comes to mind... 'Who the f*** are these guys?' Well, the no-names are going to lose again today. Morneau and Mauer are going to go 0 for 8.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) It was 5.25 I believe in 2004-2005, maybe even 5.75 Its mind-boggling how fast the price is going up.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) you are assuming he isn't already Well, you got me there.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 06:31 AM) Nobody else that I can remember helped bring a championsihp here, so as far as I'm concerned, Ozzie can do whatever the hell he wants. I always said that whichever manager wins it, should have his job as long as he likes...assuming he does not go mental. Ozzie is the man...love live the King!

QUOTE (joeynach @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) Supposed to be Friday Night. That's what I thought. The daily herald said saturday, but I think they just screwed up.

Anyone know when the statue outside will be unveiled?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 09:17 AM) Great first post and welcome to Soxtalk! It was a great post....so far, I don't want to miss a minute of the action. What a fun first week.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 09:50 AM) Yeah the beers just continue to rise in price. I went last year on my 21st birthday and spent a fortune. Lucky I got 5 dollar tickets on ebay because we were so terrible. If that's how much our beers are...Yankee Stadium must be $10.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 09:44 AM) Its still there - it just said "Pitch Count" with the number under it. Which was sort of dumb, since the pitch count is already on 2 of the band boards along the edge of the UD. I don't know...I remember having to turn my head from my seat, to see it, and now it was blank. I'll check it out again on Friday night, when we make the Tigers 0-10.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 09:43 AM) Having one beer is just not something I could do. Ever. I had a few in the parking lot and lots of food...so, I just didn't bother. I saved a lot of money. Everything seemed way more expensive. I remember a few years ago buying a beer for $4.75...and it is now $6.50. I think 2005 was $4.75.

The pitch speed appears to be gone for good. The area it was previously in, is missing. I also like the 2 recliners above the bullpen bar, which 2 people per game will get. Yesterday they won the seats by winning a game of bags. As usual, the bathrooms were out of control, due to too many men being at the game. I had 1 beer in the park, so I wouldn't have to use the bathroom. I really like the monument area...and statue appears to be the celebration on the mound, at the World Series. And there appear to still be bricks available. Awesome day yesterday. Thanks Crede.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) I am starting to like our bullpen A LOT...save the Dotel meltdown on opening day, it's been money. So, MacDougal was good on Wed?

When is Aaron Poreda going to be ready? Throw Contreras in the garbage.
