QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 04:53 AM) I still think the Twinkies rotation will be better in 2006 though. They're subtracting Lohse and Mays who had ERA's of 4.18 and 5.65 respectively. Baker had a 3.35 ERA in about 6 or 7 starts, and Liriano could be another Santana, even though he may initally struggle depending on how many hits he gives up (19 hits in 23.2IP, with 15 scoring (also only 7BB's)). It should be interesting to see how they do without J.C Romero as well, and Mulholland ain't there either, so there's 2 lefties gone, even though Gardenhire did use Mulholland way too much. Where do you think Lohse is going? He repaired Gardenhires door and they hugged, everything is ok now.

Morissey always comes up with his "This is reality" pieces right after something good happens. His columns rarely do anything but tell people he is right because he says so, and he is the exact same personality on Chicago Tribune Live. Winning changes everything, even he should acknowledge that. The Cubs fanbase wouldnt be nearly as forceful as it is now without their run in 2003, and this discussion probably wouldnt even be broached had they finished like usual in 3rd or 4th place in 2003. The Sox had a big ticker tape parade, but the Cubs would have a bigger one. Whoopdiefrickendoo Morrisey, when they have their parade, if they have their parade, we will judge for ourselves.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 08:34 AM) I'm going to press my luck and go for 5. As an out of towner, they could paint those seats pink, and I'd love to be able to sit in them a couple dozen times a summer, like I use to. Pink does NOT match black.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) One of the best, but unheralded moves was painting all the piping black instead of the white. It changes the appearence drastically. absolutely. It adds depth and makes the space look smaller. Think about the old ballpark and all you can remember is the dark upper decks of Comiskey and Detroit and how they appeared to bring the game closer to the fans. I think the front office is doing a fantastic job of refacing old comiskey, because there really was nothing special about it. I think the evolution of the stadium has become cooler than a shiny new stadium because every year there has been something new to appreciate, and the place has really become a cozier stadium. Some wont agree with me, but I like everything they have done.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) which beer does that? They had that ad on television where there is a model with a case and the two guys stare and ask if they're plastic......referring to her case or her breasts. So you believe all beer is now in Plastic bottles now?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 07:58 PM) When I was working in Mexico, I couldn't figure out why the Coke tasted different. What is interesting is the Mexicans wanted me to bring US coke with me, and some of my neighbors wanted me to bring Mexican Coke back. I had a trade going for months. Oooooooh, Mexican Coke is the good stuff......

pretty crazy to hope 100 RBI's out of RonDL White. Especially since he has NEVER done that before in his career.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) either way, im almost positive in his new contract he agreed to a clause that said he could no longer participate in any wrestling...he might be tehre just to talk it up or whatever, but im pretty sure its against hit contract to actually participate i guess we will see at 8:00 pm, wont we?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) Is Raw in Chicago tonight? Probably in Florida, thats where AJ lives.

Hell no Im not tired of it. I love wrestling, that will just make me watch more. He better not start getting in the ring though

sort of along the same lines. Anonymous embarrassing moments. http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) Petco doen't feel like a true ballpark? I honestly don't like the green seats, but so many damn people complained about them for years. I think the ballpark would've looked great with just a darker shade of blue seats. If they would have replaced those blue seats with a darker blue, and nicer seats, I wouldnt have a problem with it. But those old blue seats were bad for the park, because they totally stand out in the background when noone is in them. The Sox were having problems keeping butts in the seats the past couple years, and didnt want to give away an appearance of an empty stadium. It makes sense to switch to darker seats if you think that they planned this a while ago.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) I still really like their CD's and listen to them, but due to their underwhelming live performance, no longer have them as "suggested hip hop". I saw them at Tweeter down in Tinley Park though, which is a spacious facility to say the least. I bet if I saw them again in a more intimate setting like a club or something, it would be a different story. The Tweeter center, that explains everything. I cant even count how many times that place (and its twin in St Louis) have robbed me of a good listening experience because of their piss poor set-up and acoustics.

QUOTE(rbloom03 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) Definitely less fun this year than years past due to the insane crowd. And I'd rather be in line with "creepy" or "geeky" adults than giggling, annoying young girls who make it seem like all female baseball fans are only fans because the players are "hot." Get used to it, the casual fan just realized there was another team in Chicago.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 09:32 AM) Amen on GURU and early Outkast (especially ATLiens). I can't say Jurassic 5 though, I was a big fans of theirs...but then saw them live in concert last summer, and it left a lot to be desired. REALLY? That surprises me, my buddy saw them at Coachella and said they blew the roof off, the second half of their set was all beat boxing and free styling. He said they had the crowd in their hand and it was just off the hook the whole show. Sometimes I think show location has alot to do with show performance. I love their cds, Im gonna have to check out their show now.

and if you want to taste a little hip hop, you can try out some Jurassic 5, GURU(Jazzmatazz Volume 1), Some early OutKast(ATLiens)

LOL, I dont know what the Dave Berg thing is, but i had that guy on my MVP 2005 dynasty team as a utility player and he b****ed so much about his playing time that i had to trade his ass before June. LOL.

I never really wanted to try anything other than Oscar Meyer after growing up on them, but a few years ago I grabbed a package of Vienna because they were on sale. I put those things on the grill and never looked back. To me its the closest thing you can have to a ballpark dog because thats what most vendors use. Yummmmmmmy. I usually get their Jumbo dogs too, and let them plump up bigtime on the grill for a while, until they look like they are gonna pop

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) FWIW, Mariotti's paid to do so too. Well, Not JUST baseball.

Why do women like circumcised men? Because they can't resist 10% off ************************************* An unmarried woman is newly pregnant and gets into an auto accident. She suffers a head injury and lapses into a coma for nine months. When she awakens in the hospital, she panics and asks about her baby. Her doctor is called in and gives her a mild sedative, then he sits down to answer her questions. "I'm so happy to see you recovering", he says. The woman responds, "Thank you doctor, but what about my baby? Is everything all right?" He replies, "Yes, despite your injury, we were able to perform a fairly normal delivery procedure." "In fact," he goes on, "you've given birth to twins - a boy and a girl". The woman is very happy and asks when she can see her new babies. The doctor replies, "Right away, but we've already sent the infants home with your brother. We'll call and tell him you're okay. While you were unconscious, your brother took care of everything for you. He even gave the babies names." At this point, the woman gets upset, "Doctor, my brother is an idiot! What name did he give my little girl?" The doctor answered that her name was Denise. "Oh, Denise, that's not so bad. What name did he give my boy?" The doctor answered, "Denephew". *************************** A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 09:51 AM) I thought the article was well-written as well. Agree or disagree, he does know baseball better than most. I would certainly hope so, he is paid to write about it

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Good article, although I dont agree with this:

The incarnation of Ivan Drago before our very eyes. This guy looks half bear.

LOL, If they sign Timo Perez instead of Durazo or Hansen, we have won this battle already. Durazo would somewhat scare me in a Twins uniform, and Dave Hansen has been clutch off the bench his entire career.
