QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:51 AM) No I am sorry it is not weird to me. Call me strange because you see the bases became loaded when Carter singled to left field, Mitchell singled to center which Carter went to second, Knight singled to center advancing Mitchell to third and then Carter scored, then there was a pitcing change were Schirald then threw a wild pitch were Mitchell scored and Knight went to second, and then when Wilson came up to bat he was reached on error by Buckner which had lead Knight to go home and get the game winning run in. 1. The bases were never loaded. Carter scored when Knight knocked him in. 2. I know what happened. I saw the RBI baseball presentation as well. QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:51 AM) That really doesn't seem odd to me. 3. You must not watch a lot of baseball

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:48 AM) The AP reported he was examined at the house, that Doctor could have told her to take the baby to the hospital and ordered an x-ray, same as if you visited your Doctor in his office. Doctors refer patients for additional tests all the time. It is real easy to sit here and say I wouldn't have listened to that Doctor, I would have demanded this test or that test. But after raising two kids, and being in that position a couple times, if you trust your Doctor and have selected a good one, trusting his judgement is what I will do. But I have carefully selected a Doctor. I was in a similar situation with my son who fell out of a shopping cart at Dominicks in Vernon Hills. We took him immediately to his Pediatrician in Lake Forest who examined him. He had a bump on his head and we were very concerned. His Doctor's advice was to observe him over the next 72 hours and bring him back if we noticed anything out of the ordinary and gave us a list of specific things to look for. That turned out to be the correct course of action. I imagine that would be the proper course of action and advice that a doctor would give. However, they gave that kid 6 days of la-la land, not 72 hours.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) Actually it's not would you blame first baseman Bill Buckner for letting the ball go in between his legs which cause the Mets to win game 6 in the 1986 World Series? Or would you believe that the team is cursed? The Boston Red Sox had one more out to go instead they got the bases loaded. So you dont think that its pretty wierd that The Boston Red Sox are winning 5-3 in the 10th inning of game 6, with 2 outs and no one on, and the Mets rally to win? That doesnt strike you as a highly improbable result in a game that is pitting two of the best teams in the league against each other?

I kind of doubt the initial diagnosis/immediate doctor visit, to tell you the truth. Last time Britney pulled a stunt like this, she immediately blamed the paparrazzi, which we found out had nothing to do with the situation. I wouldnt put it past Duh Federlines to make up a story like this to divert attention from themselves and calm the situation down. If the baby was taken to the ER, and the ER doctor said no cat-scan/x-ray, then I would be content(i guess). But the doctor who examined the baby had no access to machines like that, so he is going off of what? He looked at the bruise and said "He's fine"? It would be interesting if the doctor who made the initial diagnosis comes out and says why he said its nothing to worry about.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) Well I also did research on how the Cub fans who also believe that they are not cursed. I happened to find an article on mlb.com with the title of "Curses! Does the hex exist?" which was written on October 16 2003. A cub fan by the lady of Marilyn Rice who was around the last time the Cubs went to the World Series in 1945 stated "she was not going to blame goats or anything else for the team's poor performance...I don't believe in curses or any of that stuff, They just didn't play up to par. It's just like the ole exuse-'it's not my fault, it's somebody else's fault.'" If the White Sox were in the same position of not seeing a World Series in such a long time than I would not think that are team is cursed. I would be smart enough to admit that if the team choked they choked. Like I said, its easy for us to say.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:05 AM) Oxymoron: Drug Free - Silent Birth If you want to know. So if your baby cries when its born, then you are most likely going to abuse your child in some way and the child will most likely commit suicide in a violent fashion. I would really like to see this Swedish Study that this lady is using as a reference.

So, put off the bond with your baby for a week before its born. Nice. I wonder how the baby feels when all the sudden mom goes silent for a week.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 07:55 AM) I came to the right message board because I am trying to prove my thesis that "Curses don't exist in baseball." I only Had about two guys who said that they believe in a curse which the majority like myself do not believe in curses. I personally think that it is just another type of a scape goat that a team uses so that they can cover up their failure by saying ]"We're Cursed!" I know that is totally bulls***. You see in my paper I wrote "How can a team like the Chicago Cubs be truly curse in the 2003 playoffs during the NCLS of game 6? As a matter of fact, the Cubs were six outs away from winning a trip to the World Series. They blew a good lead they had against the Marlins with errors and mistakes, but yet again they didn't want to blame themselves so they blamed a curse. Not only did they blame a curse they also blamed a devoted fan by the name of Steve Bartman, who now can't walk in a northside neighborhood. Sure he is loved by Sox fans, but by Cub fans he is hated for ruining the Cubs chances of ever seeing a World Series again. Bartman is not a baseball player for the Chicago Cubs like Alex Gonzalez who in Game 6 of the NLCS had bobbled the ball. So how come Cub fans don't give crap to Alex Gonzalez? So those gullable Cub fans just sit back and say "We're Cursed" instead of admitting that their team in 2003 was just a bunch of CHOKERS! What kind of team blows a six out away chance of going to the World Series since 1945? Chokers is the answer and the Cubs are not "cursed" just like the Red Sox are not "cursed" teams like these do not like to admit failure." Yeah, but you are only looking at curses in a very small window of time. How would you feel about curses if you were actually around when the blacksox scandal broke, and lived your entire life without seeing the Sox develop any sort of consistent success, and never winning the world series in your lifetime? I think you would view curses much differently then. Its easy for us to all say "Curses are horses***, we just disproved them.", but there were damn near 90 years passed before the White Sox made a serious pass at the World Series again ('59 notwithstanding), I bet there have been plenty of Chicagoans in that span of time who would tell you the White Sox were cursed. Personally, I guess I believe in curses as much as I believe in luck. I believe that when Bartman deflected that ball, the entire feeling in Wrigley was changed for the worse, and everyone saw the Cubs implode before they actually did. I know I did. We all knew the series was over RIGHT THERE. I dont know how to explain it, but it was just simple to me, the Cubs were going to lose after that happened. Was it a curse working its effect? Maybe. I cant tell you for sure.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 07:58 AM) I thought Lyons would have been a great choice! But Reiny is all about oppurtunity for his old players. DJ didn't have any experience when they hired him. And Singleton the same. Yeah, but Lyons is an ex-Sox player with experience in the broadcasting. Its a win-win.

What is the reason behind a silent birth and now this silent week before the birth? Does anyone know?

Is there a video of this confrontation somewhere?

You think thats bad? Check out this couple of head cases.

The Boosters got themselves a lawyer.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) If I hear them say "Babe" Shelton one more time I am going to puke. :puke NO s*** At one point Farmer said "Babe Shelton is due up next" and he paused, waited for Singleton, then prompted Singleton "You remember, right?" at which point Chris said very plainly(I actually laughed at this one) "Yes, Chris Shelton is Babe Shelton", and then Farmer procedes to explain (for the 4th time, everytime he came up to bat) that his teammates call him Babe Shelton, because he hits like Babe Ruth(no way!), and then when he came up to bat? "And Babe Shelton steps to the plate." I really feel for Chris to be stuck with that man all the time.

Chris Rongey had to hang up on a guy who was badmouthing Singleton in the second call of the show. I feel bad for Singleton, but the Score threw him into the fire hardcore. I just think the formula of moving Farmer to lead and Singleton, completely unproven and no experience, to Color was just asking for trouble. A very high risk, minimal effort, most likely money-driven move by the Score and I really think they will take the fall for this. JMO

Farmer is just so busy trying to develop his stories when he talks, that he completely forgets that there is a baseball game that he is supposed to be narrating. He obviously hasnt grasped that he is not the color man anymore, and thats just piss poor. Singletons problem is that he forgets that he is in the radio booth and gets caught up watching the game and forgets to narrate and add the "color". And worst thing is that both of them compound each others problems and mistakes.

WTF? The guy snaps one time in LA and now he is Jekyll and Hyde? I would have to say that this was one time that Robin lost his cool, not a good example of what his temper is like when he loses it. I cannot recall Robin ever acting like this in a White Sox uniform. In fact, the only time I can remember him fighting was the infamous Nolan Ryan incident and when he got into it with Thomas in the dugout. So funny I forgot to laugh.

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 11, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Its not that there were not impressive, its just that they claim they are a dynasty when they only won 1 BCS championship game. Still a very impressive stretch IMO. IIRC this was more of a poke in the eye to ESPN's assertion that these teams are dynasties.

Did anyone see the beginning of the afternoon news yesterday when Ron Majors says "We are going to show you how close the people on the street really are to us, and that you can really watch us through the glass." and the camera pans around to the window, and John Drury is standing there with a "Need Work" sign?
