QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) There you go. When they rip on Steve, it's a beautiful thing. When they rip on Dusty Baker? OMG. I laugh so hard that it hurts. Yeah its funny the 1st 50 times. But when you listen every morning it can get old. They need new material.

Grades Mike north morning: F Can this guy just stick with one topic, and lose the blonde Boers and Bernstein : c + Funny yet annoying Telendar , Hood , Buffone : c- too many people talking at once Murph: B+ Good show , bad time slot. Old school ,and I love old school.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Are you Rusty from Stickney? B & B has been getting me through the work day for years. I question whether or not you've ever given them a fair chance. How many LOL moments are there during the course of the average day? I lose count. They are both sharp and funny as f***. Maybe if you give me some specific examples, I'll understand. They are funny. But mostly annoying. They do have good chemistry. They seem to talk about stories that are not the biggest story to talk about. ( I don't want to listen to an entire show about steve alford when the incident happened a long time ago.)

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) You lost all respect for J on the strength of what? Your reasoning here: He was not the same as he was when he was alone? If anything, he just can't coexist with someone like Rick Telander. Rick ain't cut out for sports radio. He is incredibly dull, he gets flustered all the time, he's doesn't know any one sport particularly well, and he's never said anything that was even remotely funny. I know because I listen every freaking day, and if it wasn't for Buffone, I'd turn the radio off and work in silence. Sports radio has always been and will always be about comedy first and foremost. There's a concept that's lost on most people. J is not the same. I think he was more laid back when he had his own show (which I want him to have again) No Mike north supporters? (at least we can all agree with that)

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) I call bulls*** on that. Boers And Bernstein are phenomenal. Rosenbloom and Baum have a kick-ass show on Saturdays. I love Murph...he's a joy to listen to. And people on here criticize Murph for what reason? Because he's a Cubs fan? :rolly I like murph, but he's just on a bulls*** time slot (as far as sports talk goes) Who really listens during a time slot when games are being played? Boers and Bernstein are not that great. They always make stories bigger than what they are. Like I stated earlier, I loved Les Grobstein ,and He's a cub fan too. as far as Kevin Wheeler goes He has some pretty good views (even though he bashes the bulls )

QUOTE(beck72 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 06:54 AM) El Duque has done the best out of the FA arms mentioned that the Sox were seriously interested in--Jaret Wright, Clement. That El Duque held the Twins to 0 runs while facing them the 2nd time shows he's capable of winning a lot if he stays healthy. what about Perez? I am thrilled we have el duque though. We just need to get to the playoffs and this guy will step it up even more than he already has.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 02:22 AM) I-Rod didn't use roids, did he? Holy s***! lol

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:49 AM) we all know what hawk is doing when he leaves. Puking. We all know he drinks hard liquor while watching the game, duh. you cant be serious? really?

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:27 AM) I know I don't want to belabor the attendance issue and I know it will improve once it gets closer to summer, but first place showdown vs. the Twins on half price night ..... not a good sign of things to come. I do think that park would have been near 30,000 if it were half price IMO , "half price night" sounds a lot more marketable.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:22 AM) Really if you think about it, those were $40 seats last year right? So you take $40 for the seat, $17 for the parking (really more because it is a private area right next to the park/entrance. Right there you are up to $57. And then say 5 beers at $6 (include tips in reality) is another $30, plus you could probably add $20 in food easily. Right there you are up to almost $110, while not really drinking or eating a lot. Throw in the the fact that you won't have to wait in lines for bathrooms, you have a parking lot right next to the stadium, you have a waitress who brings you food and drinkings so you don't have to miss the game or wait for a vendor, you won't have obnoxious fans who paid half price to sit next to you and ruin your night, the seats are RIGHT behind homeplate etc... The price isn't out of line at all. I will definately hold down one of those seats before the year is done (Ill probably be by myself cause all my buddies would probably be to ceap for that)

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) Hell people have been predicting the end of the world forever now... who cares. If the end does come there is nothing you can do about it anyway so live your life and why worry about it??? I hope the world spins long enough to see the white sox win the world series.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) How about a starting lineup of Pargo, Pike, Griffin, Reiner, and that new guy we signed. Thats a winner. I honestly would not be mad if skiles did that tonight.

I added hermey and everett to my fantasy team last week. Hermey 4 Closer!

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) Yep. But I don't know how many different beers they have in the bar.. I would guess they don't have all those from the around the world stand upstairs. hmm 5.50 a beer * 10 = 55.50 plus food ,parking, and awesome seats? I think thats not a bad deal.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:31 AM) That's the way to start the day, no doubt....Howard rules! And Mike North is just absolutely dumb. Why would you have a dog bark when a first time caller calls in? He's a f***ing hot dog stand owner....turned sports commentator....makes sense to me. He's a damn sell-out too. The whole station of the score is. Jonathen Hood should have his own show again and I miss Les grobstein.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:26 AM) Wrong. And it's not $175, it's $170 and it includes parking and all you can eat and drink. Complaining about the park not being filled... :rolly How many games you been to so far..?? Does this include beer? If yes, does this include the beer from the "beers around the world" stand ?

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 06:27 AM) Two cows standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," said Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaimed Daisy.

good luck DW

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 06:16 PM) As many of you know, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany was elected to be the successor to Pope John Paul the II and has chosen the name Pope Benedict XVI. A few months ago I came across the apocalyptic predictions of St. Malachy O Morgain. I collected the following from a few sources, so if it doesn’t sound like the way I would write, it isn’t. I am copy and pasting. Let the record show, I read these sources BEFORE the election of the current pope and they have not changed since then. What follows is very simply quite astonishing. Malachy O Morgain (1094-1148) was an Irish priest and seer who foretold the identities of 112 Roman Catholic popes, from the reign of Celestine 11 in 1143 to the present time and beyond. But not far beyond. According to St. Malachy, whose predictions have proven amazingly accurate so far, only two popes will succeed John Paul II. St. Malachy did not name the popes specifically, however Malachy included a single line in Latin identifying a characteristic of each pope that can be loosely interpreted, but his prediction of Pope John Paul II’s successor is almost amazing! According to his biographer St. Bernard of Clairvaux, in his book "Life of Saint Malachy," the saint was known to have the gift of prophesy and had even predicted the exact day and hour of his own death. While in Rome in 1139, Saint Malachy is said to have gone into a trance and received a vision in which he foresaw all the popes from the death of Innocent II until the end of time. John Paul II s successor is called "Gloria Olivae," or "glory of the olive." Traditionally, the olive branch has been associated with peace, but in both the Old and New Testaments it also serves as an emblem for the Jews. Putting the two together, some commentators believe that the reign of this pope will be a peaceful one during which the prophesied conversion of the Jews will take place. However, Malachy’s description may instead refer to St. Benedicts 6th century prophecy that a member of his order will lead the Church in its fight against evil just before the Apocalypse. The Benedictine Order is known by another name: Olivetans. The new Pope is Pope Benedict XVI. Take from it what you want. But you have to admit that is rather interesting…….. That is very scary

It would be nice if we can just play 2 game series from now on.
