Milkman delivers

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) I'll believe that he's willing to take the home town discount when I see him sign on the dotted line. Until then, I think he'll go to the highest bidder, and end up playing on the east coast. Yeah, that's what I was saying

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) I wish that was my post. I don't need any lectures from him about loyalty. Anyone who can't see this team has some serious deficiencies is not being realistic. Anyone who watched them in August and voiced some doubts and worries is not disloyal or a bandwagon jumper. In the watered down state of baseball, other teams have problems too. Even the Cardinals who are stacked are going to miss Scott Rolen. In the current state of baseball the Sox can prevail in October, but that doesn't change the fact that they have weaknesses. Get more hits and do less interviews Paul. You mean you don't want to hear about loyalty from the guy that's going to sign the biggest, fattest contract he can get in the offseason when he said he'd give the Sox a home town discount?

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) Konerko is right. The people with the most negative things to say about the Sox, are generally the people that have been on the bandwagon the smallest amount of time. The Sox are in first place, yet it seems like 90% of the posts are dedicated to how bad they suck. And these are not long time posters who I have watched post here, these generally seem like people who have been here for less than a season. ::Shrugs:: If I was Konerko, and I was on a first place team, I would say f*** off to all the b**** bandwagon fans out there as well. Its one thing to jump on a winner and be positive, its quite another to jump on the bandwagon, then pretend you are a real fan and b**** all day long. Those are the fans that we do not need, and I stand behind Konerko 100%. If you want to be a bandwagon fan, that is cool. Have fun, enjoy the ride. If you are a pretend fan, and just want to bash the Sox and be the guy that: A) If they win was always a huge supporter or B) If they lose always told us so. Go watch the Cubs. Seriously, its fun to have the park filled. Its nice that we are getting the media attention, but I miss the days when the White Sox were "insert amount of games out" and all the posts were about how we can pull this out, how we can improve, or how only a few things need to go our way and we are right in the picture. Ribbie is right. Everyone of you that b****es about what Konerko says is just proving his point. Who cares how badly the Sox have played for a month? This is the team that we have, and it is most likely the team we are going to go to the dance with. So either you can support them, or you can just go find another team to watch. Thanks Konerko for actually keeping the real White Sox fans in mind. Cause for every complainer, there are about 5 real fans who are just sick and tired of this constant whining bulls***. SB I think it's pretty well-known that most White Sox fans are pessimistic. But you must be right.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) So, we are all converting and starting an "I love Timo just like Ozzie does" fan club? Awwwwwwwww, that could be a great, great joke.

DH?

QUOTE(Frank the Tank 35 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) Timo's hitting .216 over the past month. He's only hitting .270 (.278) over the past week. Two games ago he was still hitting .216 ON THE YEAR. He's batting .200 with no outs and nobody on. So, why has be been leading off again?? His highest situational batting statistic is with RISP w/2 outs... .267. Granted that's not spectacular, but, unfortunately, it's better than a lot of players on our team. Is he a good clutch player? I'd say no. He's BETTER in the clutch than he is normally, which doesn't say a whole lot. Uribe's hitting .272 with a man on first, does that make him clutch? Crede's hitting .261 with RISP, how about him? So Timo hits better with 2 outs, great, good for him. The fact of the matter is that MOST players hit better with runners on. Whether it distracts the pitcher that there are people on the bases or hitters just concentrate more, that's just how it is. Enough of the Timo love. Yeah he came up with a couple key hits lately... but had he been hitting better throughout, wouldn't the Sox have scored more runs thus negating the need for these so-called "clutch" hits? I realize you can't say that with certainty, but I certainly believe in the theory. Timo should be on the bench, plain and simple. He should only come in to pinch hit with runners on in late innings when Crede (although I heard he's going to the DL) or Uribe is facing a tough righty. Throughout this stretch with Pods on the DL, Timo should have batted in the bottom 3rd of the lineup. Of course, I'd rather Brian Anderson play anyway. Wow...

Maybe Pauly should take this "passion" and put it to better use, instead of something like this or throwing his bat at the ground in disgust as he grounds or flies out twice a game.

I'm gonna rip off Ace Ventura. He is suffering from the worst case of hemorrhoids I have ever seen!

I'm pretty sure AJ would be offended by this

I thought Jenks was the same guy I heard about a few years ago. I remember seeing a Sportscenter (or something like that) about a kid from a hick Idaho town. Then, I kept hearing Jenks was from California. Kind of cool information. I also think the nickname "The Cell" is becoming more and more apt with the pasts of some of our players.

I might say what Timo was best at, but I'm afraid of the consequences.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would've liked to see Garland get the win for such a great effort, but I'll take any win. I love Jenks.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) I once tried to do 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. Same result as the gallon of milk. I think I got to 60-65, but to tell the truth, I was feeling kind of bad in the teens. It's not really all that much beer, it's the carbonation that catches up with you. And 60 seconds goes unbelievably quick when you don't want it to. :puke So you pretty much did a power hour with an extra 40 minutes? That's rough.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Isn't Ted some Neo-Religious freak now? Yes, yes he is. He's also like 300 lbs. from what I've seen from pictures. My friend met him at a movie theater. It was a complete surprise to him, but apparently he was signing autographs there.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) Everyone has a price

Put the Twins and Indians on the banner. They'll never be able to overcome the jinx.

Could this have to do with Pods on the DL? Doesn't that open up a spot or something?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) So let me get this straight, right now we are all believing the test results produced by a French magazine(the french despise Armstrong for winning the tour), and judge him right now on that? I thought you guys would have a little better sense than that. How is it that the director of the tour can attack Armstrong and in the same sentence admit that the Magazine has not produced the same documents that it printed in the paper? This test was not conducted by a member of the Tour, neither a representative from the tour or Armstrong's representatives were present. Seems like this story needs to be drawn out a little more before we declare this man guilty. Im not saying he isnt, but I am not picking up a pitchfork and torch just yet. I'm sure plenty of us have had these thoughts for a long time. This isn't knee-jerk.

Don't get worked up, fellas. Word on the street is that KW took Smith off of the 40-man roster so he could make room for a trade. Unfortunately, he found out that Geoff Blum was already on the Sox, so it was pointless.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) The fastest pitcher that I've ever faced threw 88 mph. All of the guys mentioned in this thread are amazing. That is damn fast. I once took swings during gym class against a friend of mine in HS that threw 100 mph. We were just screwing around, but he was throwing his hardest. I was terrified because he never had any control, and I was just throwing the bat out there while trying to get away from the plate. I'll never do it again. I don't know if I've ever been more scared. That kid hit plenty of people.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) No, no, no... you must indicate you are making a joke so the tight asses around here don't have to jump on and off their horses so much. :rolly Stealing my high horse material

It's about f***ing time, and I'll be happy if they win about 5 or 6 more in a row. But anyway, HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Adam Carolla Have you watched his show on Comedy Central? I've sat through it about 4 times, and it is awful. I mean, even the crowd seems to know it sucks balls. It's really not funny at all.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) I'm pretty sure you're wrong... I think his wife stuck with him during his illness, he recovered won a few tours and then he went out and cheated on her with Sheryl Crow. That's what I said in another thread about Armstrong, but someone told me I was wrong and I took their word for it. I knew I had to be right because I know everything. Lance Armstrong is just another asshole in a long line of assholes which is professional sports.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) That is just gross. If I eat even a smidge too much I am lethargic the rest of the day and the thought of eating makes me sick. Ha, well...college life? We get bored and do stupid things. He can eat, so we see exactly how much he can eat.
