A legend in your own mind.

Happy birthday, Rafa!!!

And I used to like you, too. :finger

You know, I really hope that Dusty the savior really does make a bonehead move and blow it for them. That would be so sweet.

I believe Buehrle is, in fact, eligible for arbitration. He has 3 full season's under his belt for sure.

What a fabulous first post!!! Welcome to soxtalk.

Having these T-Shirts seen around the Cell during games will go a long way toward promoting Soxtalk. As for the problem with the Sox logo .... everyone can buy a patch or iron-on logo and add it themselves. Then the website is in the clear.

I'm with ya all the way. I want to see "Cub Nation" all cryin' and dejected and brokenhearted.

That's just like "Dumbass Cub Fan".

I agree that it's unlikely he'd use Prior in game 4. But, a smart manager would have at least kept that option open for himself. Boston used Lowe in relief. Why not use an ace like Prior to get you a big out or two when he's scheduled to throw on that day. This isn't the dog days of August. One or two batters came mean a whole season.

The Yankmes are the team that America loves to hate.

It's going to be a loooooooooooooooooong off season. *sigh*

I couldn't agree more.

If the Yanks lose to Boston, Mt. George is goint to totally erupt.

Ah ... you're beginning to see the light!

Here's another guy really pulling for Jim Bullard to make it to Chicago.

I think Ozzie can have the same effect on the Sox as Tony Pena had on the Royals.

You're always such a breath of fresh air.

I'm sure that is the plan.

Which, in contrast, is probably why we will eventually lose Mark Buehrle.

ChiSoxFn, how come when you say it, you make good points and when I say it I'm a dumbass that should be kicked of the board?

Here's another little snipit of recognition that I just ran across. It is from, of all people, Ken Rosenthal of The Sporting News from his Sept 29th column.

I think you are way off base on this. Those guys know Ozzie before and I'm sure Pavano did not take that as an attempt by Guillen to belittle him. Ozzie's always been a cut up and tried to keep people laughing.

I think he did. At the end of 6 innings, the Cubs had what, a 10 run lead or so? Why didn't he go to the pen for the 7th inning? This would have allowed Dusty to use Prior in a crucial situation in Game 4 if necessary. I mean would you rather have Prior on the mound when you are leading by 10 runs in game 2 or would you like to have the option of using him in the 8th inning of game 4 with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out in with a one run lead? Dusty may have just eliminated the option of having Prior come in and get those 2 crucial outs. He may have to use Alfonseco or Guthrie or Veres instead. I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks.
