QUOTE(Dawgs @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) How exactly has the White Sox schedule been rough compared to Detroits? From my prospective Chicago and Detroit have played similar schedules except the Sox have yet to face two of the best teams in the league. Home games vs. road games is the same. Here is the breakdown: TB- Det. 3, Chi. 3 Tor- Det. 3, Chi 6 KC- Det 8, Chi 9 Tex- Det 4, Chi 7 Cle- Det 10, Chi 10 Oak- Det 3, Chi 3 Sea- Det 3, Chi 5 LAA- Det 5, Chi 5 Cubs- Det 1, Chi 3 Min- Det 9, Chi 7 Balt- Det 2, Chi 0 Cin- Det 3, Chi 1 NYY- Det 4, Chi 0 Bos- Det 3, Chi 0 I see Detroit playing 7 games against the 2 best teams in the east and Chicago has yet to play them. Detroits played 2 more against Minnesota and the Sox 1 more against the worst team in baseball and 2 more against that western powerhouse, Seattle. Detroit has 3 down against Cincinnatti to the Sox 1, while the Sox have 3 against the Cubs to Detroits 1. The schedules are pretty much similar except for the glaring fact that Chicago has yet to play any games against 2 of the best teams in baseball. So quit with the homer bulls***. I bet after 162 games youd still be spouting how Detroits schedule was easier when in reality Chicagos had the easier go of it already in this season. Detroits for real. They arent going away. Wheres the June swoon you all forcasted? Has it been delayed until July or August? Has the pitching come to earth like you all said it would? Come back to reality. The Sox are in for a dog fight all season. And I dont think thier bullpen is up to the task. LOL, I love when people write "reality check" posts. They always crack me up

On Thursday morning I wanted to make a cd with some selections on my Ipod, so I went and downloaded some software called Eph-Pod. It seemed like a nice program, it was really user friendly and I had no problems removing songs and placing them on my computer. I made my cd, went to Itunes and ejected my Ipod grabbed the cd and I was on my way to work. I am about a 1/4 of a mile away and grab my Ipod to put some music on. Nothing is there. I mean zip, zilch, nada, nothing. I scroll around, checking playlists, artists, albums, genres, composers, everything. I screamed like a little girl for about a mile, checked my ipod again, screamed some more, my eyes got blurry, I started blacking out, it was bad. For the entire day at work I sat there thinking about the 8 full days of music that I had lost in a blink of an eye, and I couldnt really figure out how I did it, although i was 100 percent positive that Eph Pod had something to do with it. I came home, docked my ipod and brought up Itunes. Now Itunes doesnt recognize the Ipod and wants me to reset all of the settings back to factory settings(which would delete everything on the HD). The heart palpatations started again, and I closed Itunes and opened up Eph Pod, hoping for the best. THANK GOD Eph Pod recognized the Ipod AND the songs that were still on the Ipod. I had to unload them on to the computer, reset my Ipod, and reload the songs onto the Ipod. All in all, i got off with what i consider to be a stern warning, but I got to recover my music which was very important to me. I am thinking that my troubles started because I had opened the Eph Pod and when the Ipod was docked, Itunes (by default) opened as well. I ejected my Ipod from Itunes, but I never did it with Eph Pod(only because the "do not disconnect" warning stopped flashing when I ejected from Itunes), and my music was sent to some sort of music pergatory until I saved it. If you must make a cd, I recommend CopyPod, not Eph Pod. Thats my suggestion. /end rant

Im just glad he shaved the Red Sawks mullet QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 07:49 AM) Absolutely, especially when you consider what Florida gave up for Ron Villione at the deadline last season. Suddenly, our bullpen has a lot more depth than a lot of other teams. Which makes me wonder why Riske was expendable to the Red Sox. Is their bullpen so good that they can cast off Riske for a minor leaguer? I wonder how cleveland feels about a key member of their lights-out bullpen last year playing for the Sox?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) I am a fan of the White Sox. I will never root for the cubs. If this were the last weekend of the season my answer would be different. We are still in June. Im not going to try and tell you that you are wrong, your opinion is your opinion. However, I believe we learned last year that the games in June were just as important(if not more important) than the games in late september. I dont want the Cubs to win so that the Cubs and Cubs fans can feel good about themselves, I want the Cubs to win so the Sox can feel good about passing the Tigers by the end of the series.

damn, the fire breathing heathen brings respekt back to the thread. And it was just getting good too

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 07:21 AM) He's probably talking about against those teams in the 32 game stretch, rather than all year. I could be wrong though. Even if he is talking about it that way, the way he wrote it could be construed both ways. And besides that point, Perry remains a douche'...

Im really surprised that no one called this out yet Sox record vs listed teams DET 5-1 CLE 5-7 TOR 4-2 OAK 3-0 TEX 4-3 CIN 1-0 22-13 Not to mention the Sox havent played the Astros or Cardinals yet, so its kind of hard to put those teams on this list

if there were any soxtalkers in attendance tonite, they deserve a round of applause for the noise they made tonite. the crowd support was fantastic.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 03:48 AM) LOL! I still think there should be a shirt that says on the front "You have Wood" with a Cub logo, and on the back "How Embarrassing"

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 05:22 AM) When ever Zoomer gets in a game he always does something you remember. It's not always good, but you always remember him. This year I cannot recall Pablo screwing up more than 1 or 2 times. Honestly Pablo has been the biggest catalyst for the team. We can say "Sure, he is facing lefties and that helps him...", but look at the lefties he is sent in to hit against. Santana, Sabathia, probably Randy Johnson when they play NY. Pablo hits great lefties very well, and that shouldnt be overlooked. He bunts well, he has been stealing bases, and everywhere Ozzie has put him this year defensively he has been adequate. Aside from the KC game earlier this year, Pablo has held his own in left. He still has a messed up approach to left field, but his instincts are shortstop instincts all the way. LOL, when he made that diving catch yesterday he looked like he was diving onto the infield grass trying to catch a pop-bunt. I have become a huge Pablo fan this year.

QUOTE(juddling @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) While at SIU in the late 80's and early 90's i got to meet a few 'famous' musicians. The coolest one( in my mind) was Tom Petty. He was setting up for his show and i saw him just walking around strumming his guitar watching his raod crew. Talked to him for about 30 minutes. Though he didn't take the hint i dropped about having no tickets for the show. also at SIU, he isn't a muscian but he was in concert....i was walking through the woods with my head down not watching where i was going when i ran into a HUGE guy who knocked me on my ass. i got up ant saw it was 3 HUGE guys and when i muttered an apology , Eddie Murphy poked his head out of the crowd and said "It's cool...you all right?" I got an autograph...it was cool. Ha, when I was at SIU I had my small moment as well. There was a band that had decent mainstream success called Revis, their record was released in 2001 I believe, and they had a single that was on the Daredevil Soundtrack(Caught in the Rain) and it was also on MLB2K1 IIRC. In 2000 I lived with the lead guitarist, Robert Davis. I can honestly say that I have never partied THAT MUCH in such a small period of time. It was very cool though, i got to see them go through the process of being discovered by an agent from Cali and all the way through them getting signed with Epic Records. And I was thanked in the band notes on the sleeve of the album, which still makes me smile.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) What?!? Who said that?!? No it doesn't!! Does it?!? s***!!! aaaaw man, does that mean i am going to be like Hangar someday? Im quittin now, thats just not cool. I am dumber for reading the responses by Hangar in this thread, but everyone else gets an A+ in debate class for the past two days. This thread is freaking hilarious. Even Steff swore, I rarely see that. Of course I rarely set her off like Hangar did..... QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) Another member of the 'Cubsessed' group? I would make him President and slide CTF over to vice....

Jet Pass out Average Homeboy makes a comeback Blazen Hazen is too funny

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 02:36 PM) maybe you dont remember the meltdowns he had against the Sox when he was with the Twins I sure do the only meltdowns I recall are when he started against the Sox. I rarely remember him having meltdowns when he was the set-up man for Guardado. He seemed pretty automatic to me back then, of course the Twins were spanking the Sox left and right.....

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 12:02 AM) Haha, naw, just tweaked. A new shortstop, batting coach, third baseman, announcers and centerfielder is hardly tweaked.

Damen rules, this thread is hilarious. It is almost as if Shoota started the thread

Dammit, I missed the first show!

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 03:27 AM) Just acquired the new Muse CD due out in July. Yet to listen to it here at work, but hoping for a strong effort after 'Absolution'. Lots arent into Matt Bellamys voice, but I dig the sound of the trio. I love absolution. I think Muse sounds like a jacked up Radiohead, but I like it. "Hysteria" is by far my favorite song, it gets me really pumped up to get things done, one of those "first song of the day" type of songs for me.

Shoota, you generally want this team blown up and started over, dont you?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) I always used to get the red ice cream glove on a stick from the ice cream truck. It would have a gumball baseball in the middle of it and was quite the treat. Me and you both Kalapse. That gum was so awesome for the 20 seconds of flavor. I used to be a nut for those orange sherbet push-ups, those things were awesome, and I also like the haeggendaas(sp?) bars with the chocolate bar in the middle, im drooling now...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) That's a few minutes of my life I will never get back. While, to some degree, I agree the Sox players/coaches should keep their mouths shut about the roid issue until it becomes an issue the team is directly involved in, couldn't he have written the article without calling out the Sox? I guess not or else it would be a Mariotti column. Yeah, it was A-typical Mariotti stirring the pot bulls***.

QUOTE(SouthsideNorthsideFan @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) Umm, were those strictly display balloons, or sale items? I think the better question would be "Was the Jewel IN Chicago, or was it out in the suburbs where it doesnt really count?"

It definitely got testy during that exchange. I didnt get to hear when Carmen and Silvy took over, I was already out of the car. Harry was basically mad because he wanted to tease Jurko and have the producer call his cell phone on the air(because it had already gone off a few times earlier), but the producer said it would make for bad radio. A week or so later, Mac pulled the same trick with no objection. It was really strange, Mac admitted to the double standard, and then Harry said "How can I respect a guy who has such an open double standard" and it set Mac off and then they started going at it until they went to commercial. They have a history of this type of thing, they will be back soon. They need Jurko in between them so this doesnt happen.
