Hideaway Lights

QUOTE(Be Good @ May 27, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) Sox have the best record and baseball and are #2. That makes sense. So the power rankings should just be best to worst, in order of record? Seems pretty silly to have them that way. The subjectivity (agree or not) is what makes power rankings fun.

"laughing like crazy at injuries" last year is okay, but this is classless? uh, okay. I didn't actually see the injury, I just heard about it. The Cubs' bad luck is sheer hilarity.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 27, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Can this thread be deleted? I don't know, can it?

I don't think the injury itself is funny at all, I think it's funny that the cubs keep getting so f***ed over.

yep.

oops.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 27, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) Against the Rangers, I think it would be more successful to take first pitch strike then it was against Anaheim. I think the more pitches these guys see, the better the chance they have to break out. At least only Dye's below the "Valentin" line (.220) anymore

guys, FYI when this was published, the cardinals were 10-5 in their previous fifteen while the sox were just 8-7.

cool. I guess something's in the air. People are right, the team MUST be playing too good for us to be arguing about this stupid s***!

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) If you have insight into the '51 team that would probably be an interesting read. Do share... The '51 team had probably one of the biggest second half collapses in our history....do you guys realize they started with an identical 33-14 record but then finished just 48-59? Food for thought. I'm not sure if it's injury-related or just a hot start...but definitely something to think about.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Sure I do... You said so your self that so many here were putting Fisk as their favorite player and on the Chicago team.. you posted this thread to start s*** plain and simple. If you can dish it.. be prepared to take it. Saying "your opinion sucks" is fine with me. Saying "the thread blows" is what I take exception to. If the thread blew, it would've gotten zero responses. I'm not "starting s***"...this is what I honestly believe

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 26, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Who is Mike Huff? Are you sure you're SoxFan1?

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) LMAO.. you said in your start to this stupid ass thread that you'd probably get flamed.. and now your complaining about it.. :rolly Don't want to hear opposing opinions, don't post crap on a board about a player many obviously like. I'm not sure you understand the subtleties between slamming an author's opinion and slamming a thread being created at all.

Whoa.

Are you people actually being elitist about a bulletin board and thread content? Christ, get over yourselves. If you don't like the thread, ignore it. The topic came to mind because people have been putting Fisk's name all over "favorite sox player" and "all sox team" lists. I suppose I'll refrain from discussing the '51 team that we just tied in record, because you guys probably don't want to talk about s*** that happened 50 years ago either.

Carlton chose who "his" team and who "his" fans were when he chose which cap he wore into the hall of fame. I don't think it's too far-fetched to feel betrayed by that decision. Is he that vindictive that he needs to punish an entire city for the actions of an asenine owner? Uh, okay. I'm done.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Dumbest..... Post..... EVER! Carlton's decision was, in no way, directed at the fans. It was directed at that jerkoff Jerry Reinsdorf. And I, for one, don't blame him and I hold no ill will towards Fisk. If I was so unceremoniously s*** upon by the Organization that I gave a decade's + worth of hard work and sweat too, I would go tell my ex-boss to go eat a dick too. If this forum had a killfile, I would've just used it.

So sit in the LD. The LD is one of the best in baseball.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 26, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) You neglected to mention all the wrongs the White Sox organization did to Fisk, my favorite player of all time. You have reported only half, or, half of one half of the story. Things are much deeper than that. Much. And so it's justified that he takes his frustration out on the fans that supported him as well as management?

I felt he disowned us when he went into the Hall of Fame as a Red Sox. I kind of resent him for that, and whenever someone asks me to make an "all-time" list or list my 5 favorite players, I always leave him off intentionally. I know I'll probably get lynched for this POV, but anyone else feel like he took out his battle with mgmt on the fans? Didn't he have more tick and play more games in Chicago overall?

It was honestly horrible....I wish I was in a room with a radio.

DJ just tried to get the Pope to sing either Culture Club or Van Halen in the top of the ninth.

and yeah, this DID deserve it's own thread.

What the hell was that exchange????
