QUOTE(traydragen @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Soo, I dunno if you guys know this but would this DVD be at my local Best Buy? I live in South Carolina by the way. I ordered this online through bestbuy.com (had some best buy bux from mcdonalds promotion to blow!) so I know they are handling it....just not sure if individual stores might be stocking it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) The Angels are a threat, but if we give Paulie what we feel he's worth, now that the Mets have Delgado...the only team I really see making a huge run at him could be the Dodgers (this of course could change depending on what happens with Manny) I just couldn't see Paulie signing with the Dodgers....after the treatment he got there in his first major league season, if we are within $10 million of their offer, he'll be back with the Sox!

Anyone in Chicago willing to pick up one of the Sun Times tomorrow and send it out to Vegas for me? I'd love to have one and unfortunately can't get ahold of them here. PM if this is a possibility and I can send you money for the paper & postage today through paypal (or pop it in the mail if you don't have paypal account). Thanks!

After this magical season, there is no way I'm missing spring training in 2006. I'm curious how many other members of the board might be planning a trip to AZ in a few months? If enough people are interested, perhaps we can work on having a Sox Talk week down there. I'm sure we could find a hotel to give a group rate....and it would be awesome to share this time with other diehards. Post here if you're interested....if we have enough people to consider it, I'll try to organize some stuff once the schedules are released.

Are we sure of a parade? The homepage for the Score is only talking about a rally at Grant Park tomorrow? http://www.670thescore.com/ Nevermind....it listed a rally just 5 minutes ago...now it talks of a parade down Lasalle? I guess plans are still being worked out.

I don't think Rowand scores even if he didn't slow up.....he barely made it in to third as it was after the slow up. Cora might have sent him....but I would have been surprised to see us score a run there.

I realize the series is not over and there's still work to do.....thats why I prefaced the poll by saying that things could definitely change during the upcoming games. My point was that there is no clear cut MVP thus far which is atypical of most World Series. This team wins as a team and that's what has made this series so special. Would we be up 3-0 without Blum? Without Marte? Without Viz? Even some of the last guys on the roster have been pivotal in helping us win games and getting the job done. Ozzie has done a great job all year of keeping egos in check, enabling these 25 guys to win as a team, and sacrificing individual stats for the good of the club. After we put win #4 in the books, I'd like to cut the MVP trophy up into 25 parts and give a chunk to each player.....however, I doubt if MLB would approve of that proposal though so I was just curious how others feel to this point (and this poll wouldn't make since after an MVP is already named). Go Sox!!!!! Lets get the job done tonight!!!!

Obviously, things can change greatly depending upon what happens tonight. However, this series has been very indicitive of the season. We've won this as a team with no one particular player carrying the load. Therefore, I don't really see a clear cut MVP to this point. With no starter going more than one game and relievers having limited duty (except Jenks who lost a save opportunity in game 2), I think it has to come down to a position player and many have similar stats. I'd probably give a slight edge to Konerko at this point....but would ideally have this shared by multiple players if we could arrange a tie in the voting. How's everyone else feel at this point?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) Who would have thought Podsednik and Blum would hit GW and go ahead home runs in consecutive games. I would have thought my odds with Jessica Alba would be better than that. She ain't leaving me for you.....so I would have definitely put the money on Pods and Blum!

Has Mark ever gotten a save before? Or even pitched in relif during his career?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) His face looks like someone s*** into a blender. LMFAO!!! Ummmmm.......how do you know what that would look like??? Are you speaking from personal experience??? :rolly

Time for Pods 3rd homer of the postseason?????

Come on Widge.....join Blum in the list of heros tonight! (Who would have thought that was possible before the game????)

Just get a single Juan....one insurance run is good enough for me

We're crushing the ball now!!

And Ozzie looks like a genius again....what a double switch!!!!!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:45 PM) I'm sorry, but this is f***ing pathetic that we're in Game 3 of the World Series, and we've put ourselves in a huge disadvantage because Ozzie wanted to keep one of his "guys" on the roster. If the Sox were to lose this game, and go on to lose the WS (I pray that they don't), I'll always have a bad feeling in my stomach about Hermanson over Jenks. Go Sox! fathom you are killin me with your hatred of oz, killin me. Ozzie's guys have gotten us through 2 rounds of the playoffs and off to a 2-0 start in the world series. Although I didn't agree with all of his decisions, I have to like where it has gotten us. (If El Duque had not been on the roster against Boston, we might not have even won that series).

Marte needs a good outing here if he wants to have a chance of being on our roster in 2006

It's official.....I just crap my pants

s***....I've had to take a dump for the last 3 innings, but I can't pull myself away from the TV.

Widger is having one of our best AB's in several innings!

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) If Jenks was able to go 2 innings tonight, then against I ask the question: why Hermanson over Jenks? If Ozzie thought Hermanson had a better chance to get Lane out, then I guess I can't argue with just stupidity. Tommorrow is immaterial......Garcia will give us a complete game (a shutout at that!)

Woah!!!!!!!! Was that 1-2-3????? I'm in more shock than when we pitched our way out of the last 4 innings!!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) the only way oz can be blamed is if he gets starters up and ruins the rotation for the rest of the series. it's jenks for 4 innings and marte after that. we got no options. I can't see Jenks going 4.....perhaps 3 but 4 is out of the question

QUOTE(aiko @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) Well, Wandy vs. Marte sure would be a battle of epic proportions. They could probably each throw 3 shutout innings the way these offenses have been.
