QUOTE(zygoat @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) its fun to a point. I enjoy winning, but beating the crap out of the NL central gets boring. would it be exciting the the NL Central was good and beating on the sox? QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) They should cut the number of series in half. It is fun seeing the AL pound the NL, but a couple extra series vs DET, CLE, and MIN would be more exciting IMO. Now that's more like it, but would your opinion be different, if, as in most other years, the AL was getting beaten? I would like it if, except for the Cubs Sox, all the interleague games were played in one stretch during the season.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Throwing the balls back onto the field while almost hitting players is bad and now their throwing garbage on their own field? They just hit a new low.==mu must be young, as that's not new

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) That kind of shoving is not part of the game and once you've push a guy like that, you're indirectly telling him that you don't care about the rules. Upon second viewing, You are right on, LMB. Off the cuff I wanted to side with whitey, as in real time it does appear the black kid went to far after the takedown... BUT, after one more replay -- watch the zoomed-in slow mo part about half way through -- the white kid's shove, while not being part of the game, under the rim, whatever, was followed by a couple of hop steps toward the black kid, in a very confrontational style. It clearly looks like our innocent "Colter" was trying to start something, wasn't even paying attention to the play, and the black kid reacted.

QUOTE(beautox @ Jun 5, 2006 -> 11:04 PM) thats not right at all as it stands now hes got 11BB and 30SO. Since then he's gotten 3BB and 10K's, much more Corey-like. He's had a bit of a Corey-like month, with a .326OBP and .356SLG...not looking as rosy now.

QUOTE(zygoat @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) it wasnt necessarily ozzie who brought them back into the game, it was more of what ozzie has been teaching the last 2 years. I mean it wasnt ozzie on their butts telling them to go all out when down 9-1, but its the "win or die trying" slogan I'd venture to say that there's quite a few managers whose teams have come back from 8 run deficits, and have actually won. How much credit you give to the managers in those games is largely subjective.

Crede's. Crede's led to the opportunity to take the series, continue the winning streak, and completely took the air out of the Astros. Iguchi's seemed to be more surreal - considering the previous two games. But the Sox had already taken the series, and since they were down so much they seemed to just be having fun with it.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Did the kids make Dye go 0-5? Yes, in fact they did, dammit.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 11:35 AM) My situation is odd. I don't drive, yet I know a very trustworthy mechanic. On the other hand, he does have a really nice boat. \ How do you know he's trustworthy if you haven't had to trust him? Cuz he's got a boat?

this childish crap may be the downfall of that fun show (ratings-wise)...I sure hope not. I like going back and forth between B&B and MJ&H depending on my mood...

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 12:32 AM) It's the baseball equivalent of a chimp being in heat. What happens when a chimp's in heat? They become good chimps for a while?

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) I hate that I have to get up to go find the beer guy (I wont drink bud, only old style if Im in the park there) because I end up missing so much of the game. Same with the bathroom. I try to time going to the bathroom with going to get beer, I can do both and at least not miss as much of the game as normal. If you let the Old Style guy know you're in, he'll find you and keep you full. They understand the difference between the beer drinkers from the bud *** yuppies.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) Yoko Ono = underrated. :puke QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) McCartney, for some reason that I cant explain, was always my favorite Beatle also. I play bass guitar and Im left handed (as he is) and I also play upside down ( as he first learned, but plays bothways now) and always wondered if that didnt subliminally influence me musically. Bastard, I'm jealous. I'm lefty but learned righty...I often wonder how I'd play had I played the "right" way... McCartney was my favorite, too.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) Barrett......... mostly because of the lack of catchers. ...like the asshole or not, offensively he's one of the best in the NL. He or Zambrano are the perfect PR nightmares to send for the cubs

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) To be honest, I'm glad he will be back. I think Henry Blanco is better than Mary Barrett. please...

QUOTE(CleanSox @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 08:10 PM) Do you demand the same rigor (and expend the same effort) on the endless stream of threads started with topics like "......"? QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) I do, however, take issue with people who try to impose their theory on a group of posters who are mostly young people. The median age here is fairly low, and just by not living as many years, they will not have the depth and breadth of experience with Chicago media. ... and I think people here should see the counterpoint to all of Hangar's supposed "proof". ... look at the rebuttals as a way to keep the impressionable posters informed, and not being led toward becoming whiny, oppressed-sounding fans; those which cubs fans have always loved laughing at. anyone could care less about the effects of sensational non-Sox related crap (headless bodies, whatever) in this forum...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 02:17 PM) Unfortunate? Please, that place needs to be imploded along with half of that city. Perfect! http://www.theonion.com/content/node/46937

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Doesn't matter if its Kansas s***ty we beat, I always get pumped up over a White Sox Winner. that's right...a win is a win... a bunch of Michigan guys I work with are in this weekend being all cocky... They weren't too cocky last week...

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) EAT s*** REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T HOLD THIS TEAM DOWN NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL...remember, it was just the Reds...nice record in a crappy division. Yes, the same team that the lowly Cubs just took 3 of 4 from in Cincy...

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) Which is the basis for my proposal. The AL's rule is DH; the NL's rule is pitchers bat. On that basis, you always play by the HOME TEAM's rules, park adjustments, conditions, et al, thereby trumping your proposal. Sorry, Charlie.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) Ya kid, you can say the same thing about almost every f***ing school in the U.S. that has students cheating, athletes skipping classwork and getting a free ride, and kids smoking and drinking in the bathrooms.. :rolly Seems like a full born nerd to me. Just be happy that you didn't participate in it, and most importantly you GRADUATED. Let those other kids be bums.- Letting the others become bums and fail out of college is fine (sorta), but if they're disrupting others wanting to get an education, something likely needs to be said and done. A good kid shouldn't have to worry about walking into the bathroom for fear of smoked out or threatened. In the 80's, my school took a tough (yet later ruled to be illegal) stance on bathroom partiers by removing all doors, and constantly sending in the hallway monitors...it hampered many efforts along the way, but worked well to keep our school (somewhat) influence-free when coupled with locker searches and quick suspensions.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) I was at that bears browns game and I yelled at people for leaving early and called them fake fans. Take that, whitesoxin'!

Dumbest thread, ever. Anyone who knows anything knows Pablo's got to change his mechanics or he'll never have a full, healthy season on the mound.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) at least the chick's hot yeah she is...!

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 11:30 PM) I still don't know how the Heat got to the Finals. Is the East that pathetic? Probably. No, the FLip Saunders is pathetic.......unbelieveably pathetic. Terrible game plans, horrific, lack of in-game adjustments. There's no good reason the Heat are in this, and the Pistons could conceivably have man-handled these Dallas sissies...

I remember Mac getting Harry pissed off with off-color comments, etc., years ago...
