QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 02:07 PM) Big Uribe fan eh? Well ... I sort of adopted him at the beginning of '05 because I've always liked his unique ways of running, throwing, fielding, etc. but I'm starting to get a little fed up with his unique gut and haymaker whiff swing.

Someone on here, toward the end of the 06 season, said Selig was rearranging tv schedules so we wouldnt have to deal with the WCIU BS in 07. Maybe he was too busy selling out to directv. 25 games now??? PISSED.

Hire a bouncer from the biggest dive bar in Portage, IN to stroke Widge in the face after every bad call. I seriously think this will solve the problem and hope my post doesn't violate the zero tolerance policy.

I read here a hell of alot more than I post but I'll be there. If you see a Sox fan and a Mariners fan out there I'm the Sox fan. We will probably be wasted but I'll make sure to buy you a drink if you metion Soxtalk. So back to one of the original questions.....what bars?! EDIT: Going to the Saturday game, hoping to scalp tix for Sunday.

He works for the scrore now?

Dear Frank, As great a player you are, understand that we White Sox Fans ALL know. I was at that game on Memorial Day. I saw the bird come down from the back of the stadium, knew that it was a special game, and realized why when you came to bat. Just as I did when I first came to the stadium in 1993, I had a special feeling when you came to the plate. I wish I could see it again, and just like many who have posted, I am holding out on a long-shot hope of some kind that you may find your way back to the south side bfore the end of your career. Regardless of what happens with you and with the White Sox, you are the one who made me a life-long proud White Sox Fan. I was part of the standing ovation at your 1st game back at U.S. Cellular Field in 2005 and will be a part of the standing ovation again for your 1st game back at U.S. Callular Field in 2006. Thank For The Memories Frank, Eric

If Sox games are not blacked out during the regular season, I'm sure they won't be blacked out during Christmas time. If you are in Michigan City, count on being able to watch as I will in South Bend.

Didn't they wear the sleeveless jerseys for the Saturday cubs-Sox game at the Cell -- the game Contreras pitched? I was in the UD for that one but I'm pretty sure that was the only time I've seen those jerseys this year.

To anyone who got to watch on WCIU: Farmer said Hawk caught the ball Crede fouled off just before the homer. Is that true? Edit: Eat s*** tiggers!!!!!!!!!

Where in the hell is Hermanson?

The caption to the picture in that article says "Cellular One Field" and the writer calls it "Cellular Field" throughout the article. What the hell?

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb Yankees place Wang on 15-day DL Hurler to visit Dr. James Andrews to examine right shoulder By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com Chien-Ming Wang is 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA, the best among Yankees starters. (Nick Laham/Getty Images) MLB Headlines ADVERTISEMENT print this page | e-mail this page • Chien-Ming Wang's stats BOSTON -- And then there were two. The Yankees' starting rotation took yet another blow on Thursday, as the club placed Chien-Ming Wang on the 15-day disabled list with an inflamed right shoulder. That leaves Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina as the only healthy members of the rotation, as Carl Pavano, Kevin Brown and Jaret Wright are all on the DL. Although the Yankees declined to reveal the diagnosis of team physician Dr. Stuart Hershon, it appears as though Wang could miss the remainder of the season with the injury. He will be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday in Birmingham, Ala., and if he agrees with Hershon's assessment, the Yankees will make another statement on Monday. General manager Brian Cashman wouldn't comment on Wang's condition, even when asked if he thought the right-hander would pitch again in 2005. "Until Andrews gets a chance to go through it, I'd rather not say too much more," Cashman said. "It's premature for me to go forward." "You hope that's not the case, but if it is, some other people will have to step up," said Derek Jeter when asked about the possibility of being without Wang for the rest of the season. "Every team goes through injuries; Boston's had them, Baltimore's had them. Someone else will have to step it up." Wang is 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA (the best among Yanks starters) in 13 games (12 starts) for the Yankees this season. He was called up from Triple-A Columbus in late April to replace Wright in the rotation, and after being skipped several times in May, he established himself as one of the team's most consistent starters in June and July. "Everybody was stunned," said manager Joe Torre, who updated his players on Wang's injury before batting practice on Thursday. "It wasn't like we were walking a tightrope with him. There were times early on that we skipped him several times in the rotation, but he had no problem pitching with extra rest. I think everybody was surprised." "He fit into the rotation very well and he secured a spot," said pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre. "He's one of the guys we counted on, so this was quite a blow and quite a shock." Wang started for the Yankees last Friday, defeating the Indians with 7 2/3 innings of three-run ball. He threw his regular bullpen session Sunday, and the Yankees penciled him into start on Friday against the Red Sox. But Monday, Wang woke up with some pain in his shoulder, prompting him to call his agent, who, in turn, called Cashman. "It didn't make for a very enjoyable All-Star break," said the GM. The Yankees sent Wang for an MRI exam late Monday afternoon, then got the news of his injury. "He had no pain, there have been no complaints, and he's mechanically terrific," Cashman said. "Whatever has gone on here has gone on over time, but without pain." This is the second shoulder injury of Wang's career, as he missed the entire 2001 season following arthroscopic surgery on his arm. "Stuff like this during the baseball season is stuff you can't control, so you can't get caught up in it," Torre said. "That doesn't send a good message to the people that are still here and are trying to win ballgames." Tim Redding, acquired on July 2 with Darrell May in a trade with the Padres for Paul Quantrill, will get the start in place of Wang on Friday. Johnson will start Saturday for the Yanks, but the team does not have starters announced for Sunday or Monday. The Yankees entered the four-game series at Fenway Park within striking distance of the first-place Red Sox, but the latest setback to the rotation leaves the Bombers in limbo for much longer than this weekend. Mussina and Johnson will get about 30 starts over the final two-plus months of the season, leaving 46 others to the rest of the staff. "The focus needs to get back to where it needs to be," Cashman said. "Boston is right in front of us. Just like Wang got an opportunity because somebody went down, maybe Tim Redding or someone else will now. The season isn't going to stop, so at least mentally, we can't let these injuries get us down." "There's no mind-set that's going to change," said Torre, echoing Cashman's words. "I'm not going to tell the players to run faster to first base, or to throw harder, pitch with less rest. It's still the same game, you just have to deal with the people you have and not dwell on the people you don't have." Mark Feinsand is a reporter for MLB.com.

The Sox schedule @ chisox.com say the game is on WCIU ... AND ... ESPN2. Can anyone confirm as to whether the deuce is showing our Sox or the daily East Coast game?

There's a reason Holtz didn't retire at Notre Dame. And it has nothing to do with preserving Rockne's record.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) Raise your hand if you're surprised she has "batkitties 1-3." Oh, no one. Right. I don't know about batkitties but with all that freetime, I would bet on him/her having backtitties.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) Yes, but who has The Cubs Fans one that shows two of them in a very precarious position? I do, I absolutely couldn't resist. I've got that one. It's kind of tough for me deciding when/where to wear it. I don't want little kids to see it and I don't want to get my ass kicked by a drunk cubs fan somewhere.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) Who's this mysterious LH OF? Willie Harris?

Melton just said on the postgame show that he heard Pods is about 1,000 votes behind . . . keep voting fellas.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Really? The only station I can pick up is WXYT. I put it on before they decided to play the game . . . it was the Dan Patrick show and I just left it on. Maybe you should try Real Player instead of WMP or vice versa?

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) This sucks. No Ed and John on MLB Gameday Audio. I'm listening to them on there.

I agree that they will never shut up. At the game on Saturday I sat behind 4 OBNOXIOUS cub fans. From the moment they sat down they started with the typical cub fan rant. Complaining about the upper-deck, stadium, sound system, etc. I honestly felt like they were jealous. They proved many of the cub fan stereotypes (i.e. not having any clue who Contreras was, realizing that a pitcher change had been made 2 innings late etc.) Instead of making complete fools of them and asking them a baseball/cubs related question, I did my best to ignore them. Then after the game, after the Sox had their asses handed to them by the cubs, the Sox fan sitting next to me 1-upped ignoring them. He turned around, gave them high 5's, told them good game, and wished them luck in winning the wild card and making the playoffs. They were so completely shocked that they just stood there with blank stares. With the cub fans' mouths still hanging open in amazement, they guy and his nephew left the section. I think acts like that can only give Sox fans a good name, as the classy group that we are. Also, there were numerous fights in my section and each and EVERY fan that was escorted out by security was wearing cubs gear . . . so I know our 'classiness' is a trend rather than just the isolated incident I witnessed after the last out on Saturday.

I didn't read through the entire thread so sorry if this has already been posted. Don't forget the sunscreen if you need it. And hopefully Freddy will keep the ball down today. http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/mlb/...?eventid=148496
