To get to 24 games over by the 90 game mark, we'd have to go 36-14 from the time of your post. That's more than a .700 clip. Don't hold your breath.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ May 21, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) The long and winding road There has to be a twist I rode my motorcycle in the rain. flirtin with disaster He's going the distance Gonna eat a lot of Peaches And I was standin' on the side of the road Standing in line, marking time, waiting for the welfare dime Then I saw her face The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes A brown eyed girl in hand me downs Blinded me.....with SCIENCE She was the best damn woman I had ever seen Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds She ain't exactly small 42-39-56 BABY GOT BACK! She knows she got everything a woman needs to get a man, yeah. One Bourbon, one Scotch, one beer. I don't wanna touch you too much baby 'cuz making love to you might drive me crazy Cause southern belles are hell at night I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride Cowboy take me away Slob on my knob, like corn on the cob Lie back and let me unlock you I've got a brand new pair of roller skate, you've got a brand new key She's a super freak, a super freak, she's super freeeeakaaayyyyyy Why don't you come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride? You aint seen nothing yet But with a magnifying glance, I just sort of look her over. Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing And I fell in to a burning ring of fire Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno! Burn baby burn! - Burn that mama down, yoh! Yeah Im hot blooded, check it and see Feel the fever burning inside of me Lord amighty! I feel my temperature risin' I'm so hot for you and you're so cold Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart Let's get together Before we get much older. Because I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price For throwing the dice in the air. You're as cold as ice. You're willing to sacrifice our love I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango- Turned cartwheels cross the floor Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning. Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin. And it stoned me to my soul, stoned me just like Jellyroll Everybody must get stoned That Ain't no way to have fun, son Some people claim there's a woman to blame Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line And they called it puppy love.

Well, this gas protest sure worked.

We gave them game 1, but we shoulda took 2 outta 3. Well, considering we gave them game 1 we shoulda swept the damn series. I'm glad we salvaged this one, because Masset v. Zambrano did not bode well for us. Great job by Nick.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) I assume after a few games, Toby will be able to at least catch every pitch, even if he can't throw. That puts him ahead of A.J. against lefties by far, because the "dirty little secret" is A.J. can't throw either kids. This should be a pure platoon system at catcher, even if mother f***ing Ozzie and b****y ass A.J. don't like it. Who pissed in your Cheerios?

Check out the Sox runs allowed vs. runs scored and their record. Check out the Cubs runs allowed vs. runs scored and their record. Consider the fact the Sox are in the strongest division in baseball and the Cubs the worst. Ozzie and those that support him aren't the idiots.

Until the 60's, social security was separate from the general government fund. It was designed and sold to the general public that way when it was implemented. I don't remember which president was in the white house at the time, probably Johnson. However, there was certainly a democratic congress and they controlled the nation's pursestrings. They put the SS surplus into the general fund. Roosevelt implemented it, the 60's congress changed the rules. Major f***ing con job accomplished. There's your reason the SS system is on the verge of bankruptcy.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) Ozzie has to be smarter than most people give him credit for. You don't win a world series if you are a completely phsycopathic idiot especially with that team. Its not like had a team full of all-stars that won it. I agree with you there. I just don't know if Ozzie can maintain credibility with his players over the long haul. I think his 'buffoon" persona will catch up with him eventually.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) I voted the Twins just because over the last 4-5 years they've been the team that's kicked our ass in the division for the most part. But ya, I don't think anyone should be surprised that most of our fans voted for the Cubs. Most of our fans voted division rivals, but because that was divided among 3 teams, the Cubs came out on top.

QUOTE(Damen @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:10 AM) Right, but that's my point. Fans are retarded. I'll go along with that to a ceratin extent. First, don't limit it to Sox fans. There are plenty (majority?) of moronic Cub fans. Secondly, younger fans that are dealing with the fans rivalry on an every day basis tend to be more emotional about things and more likely to make a statement in polls like this. This is not a criticism of youthful emotion, as I was once an emotional youth. It's just the way things are.

QUOTE(Damen @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:08 AM) The question is worded like this... I understand that, but it's the FANS that are doing the voting. That just might have something to do with it.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ May 18, 2007 -> 10:03 AM) North is a big blowhard and although I listen to him, sometimes he is unlistenable. But I feel MJH are just as unlistenable sometimes as well. First off, Ozzie is a big baby sometimes. He is starting to remind me of Ditka after the Bears won the Superbowl. Anyone who questioned him, he went off on and acted like a big jerkoff. Ozzie will eventually lose this team. Sooner or later the players will tune him out. As for the poster above talking about Sirius radio. Great, I like Sirius and XM, but where would you hear that particular interview on Sirius? You are probably right. In fact, it's only a matter of time unless Ozzie's smarter than I think is he is.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 18, 2007 -> 09:50 AM) The thing is...they could be switched at any time. Old AL West...Minny. Mid 90's...Indians. Last couple of years...Minny or Detroit. The thing is, though, every year the Cubs series is huge to FANS. I think many of you are thinking like players or members of the organization. And they probably aren't voting. You nailed it when you capitalized the word FANS. That's what this is all about. Sox FANS biggest rivals are Cub FANS because of the constant antagonism between the two groups in the area. The teams certainly don't consider each other as the biggest rivals, because from a successful season perspective, these games aren't all that important. The FANS make it a rivalry. The players enjoy the atmosphere generated by the FANS, but that's as far as it goes.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ May 18, 2007 -> 08:46 AM) North has a stupid arguement, it's not like Hall can possibly be worse than our other catcher not named AJ. Besides, Hall playing in the majors or minors makes no difference to his injury...if it's going to flare back up, it will be in AAA as easly as in ML...besides, he's been hitting, more than I can say for our other backup... Add to that the fact that if it flares up again, he's for the season anyway. This was a shot in the dark and hope for the best type scenario. And it's one that might not work. But that was known going in.
