dayton moore is unofficially official.

Mario-Kart 64 > Goldeneye But yeah, the replay value for both is amazing...

QUOTE(JimH @ May 29, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) You are not in the minority but all the negative people seem to have louder voices on this site. The game threads are generally a whine fest, even with a 10-0 ass kicking. Yep. I used to have a theory that people on here would find things to complain about even if we won every game 10-0...

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 29, 2006 -> 03:15 PM) Only had 1 good at bat today IMO. Needs to step it up tomorrow against a very tough lefty. And if Uribe gets in a little hot streak people won't be able to use the "but he's not our worst hitter" excuse.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 29, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) VAZQUEZ WITH A QUALTY START.........FOR ONCE........

QUOTE(Soxfest @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) Give the guy a break WHOLE bulllpen has had trouble let give JN some more time. This is already like plan F with no good in-house options left (maybe)...definitely deserves a little more time, but not much...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) You know you want some. :headshake

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:10 PM) maybe I should show you just how loving I can be :puke

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 27, 2006 -> 11:05 PM) (literally for Uribe, chubby bastard). He looks the same (i.e., sexy) to me. His defense looks about on par with last year to me too.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) I think I speak for all true Chicago sports fans when I say... f*** Detroit. There isn't a city I hate more in professional sports than Detroit, whether it be Wings, Lions, Tigers, or Pistons, f*** them all. All of them could lose for an entire season, and I would be disappointed they won an exhibition game. I hate Detroit. I also hate eminem...

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) If collectively Soxtalk can come to the conclusion that BA is helping the Sox rather than hurting He has the potential to do so...all Ozzie and the rest of us impatient people probably want is just a glimmer of hope that he knows how to use his bat...maybe stringing together a few good hitting games where he looks confident at the plate?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:51 PM) Why is Ross Gload currently on this team? Instead of sending down a valuable player in order to add to the pen, why not let go of the never used Ross Gload. And that's why I think Ozzie is using scare tactics to fire him up. We're struggling to fill current pen spots with capable pitchers, let alone bringing up another MLB-ready (do we even have any?) reliever.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) "Lackluster" is just another word for regression to the mean. It's amazing what happens when the offense isn't scoring 6 runs a game on a daily basis. So we're just an average team? Is it time to rule out the playoffs? QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) This isn't football, where level of emotion/intensity produces tangible benefits. Baseball, I would say, I much more like golf. The key is consistency and mental fortitude. No intensity in baseball...lol... Are you familiar with Ozzie at all or what type of coaching style he has had success with?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Anderson isn't even the worst at the plate in our starting lineup. He has no previous success to fall back on... I don't agree that BA should be sent down, but it's very interesting that Ozzie is talking about it. Shows it's a real issue, and rightfully so. Patience runs thin.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Is that a huge issue though, if you'd have Machowiak costing you games defensively in the long run? Is BA being brutal at the plate a huge issue?? It wasn't when everyone was hitting like crazy, but glaring when we need something, ANYTHING, from him. It's just frustrating when he looks so lost. I don't want him sent down, just to do something at the plate. I'll endure Mack for a bit but not as the long-term solution. Ideally, it would be BA giving us a glimmer of hope, but time and time again he looks predictably lost. How long should we be patient?? And Ozzie's comments show that BA is a real issue and not just fans overreacting and being impatient.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) You're not going to win s*** without a very good defensive centerfielder. Which of these would people most like to see? Pods>Anderson Ozuna>Pods Gload>Pods Pods>Mack Owens>Pods Pods>Owens Pods>Sweeney Sweeney>Pods I wanna see BA show us something, anything, at the plate.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) And you critiscized Oz yourself in this thread. Look, Ozzie does one thing really well as a manager: he takes the pressure of his players by a) putting the blame on himself, and B) being a media darling. His job, in May, after a tough loss to a good team, is to say, "I probably made a few calls today that cost us the game. I hope the guys go out and get a little drunk tonigth then come back ready to play tommorow". Or something to that effect. Why be complacent? That's not Ozzie, and that's not how we won last year. I luv the high standards and brutal honesty.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) And I'd still rather have BA starting in CF over Pods, Mack, Ozuna, or Gload. BA has just looked so brutal at the plate. Right now people are just looking for signs of life, but he's not really showing any glimmers of hope. Even Ozzie's comments show he's getting frustrated. Nobody's questioning what he can become in the future, just what he can do to help this team this year right now to keep winning.

QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ May 27, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) how about telling uribe to go to AAA atleast Anderson can throw some leather!!!! So now Uribe cant play defense?

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 27, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) Uh, that is pretty damn good. If the team hits .300 with RISP all year, it will be a good thing. Not sure what the reporter was thinking with that line. Ozzie needs to calm the f*** down and remember that it's a long season. The point was that we only scored 2 runs and lost a winnable game. And Ozzie is doing his job. Therefore, he doesn't need to calm the f*** down.

QUOTE(IggyD @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Everyone just keep watching American Idol and everthing is gonna be fine. I don't even know what's being argued here but this line made me laugh...

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Forgot one of my all time favorites, not in Bridgeport but adjacent to McKinley Park, Lindy's Chili. Since 1924, great burgers, hot dogs, and of course chili. Rolling Rock on draft the last time I was there. Corner of Archer and Western. Lindy's Chili and Gertie's Ice Cream. Very good indeed.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 25, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) I can certainly see some tidbits that were never discussed, because they weren't exactly thread-worthy. I know I've done it. Me too. I've held back on one-answer questions or comments that didn't need a thread. Now I can't think of any.

Ok, who's the bastard that banged a chimp?
