My entire apartment complex knows I am a White Sox fan now.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) I enjoyed those 2 games so much. I've yelled so loud, my throat is raw and sore, and I've been poping in throat drops the last 2 days. Anyways, it was nice, now that we are in the playoffs, to hear more about or strengths than our weaknesses, to hear good things instead of negativity, to hear about how GOOD a team we are. The ESPN crew has been really gracious, and really have given the White Sox their due credit, actually, to me, making this series a lot more fun. I appreciate it greatly. GO SOX!!!!!!! You must be talking about every BBT announcer who has had to change their pick, mid-series, so that they wont look wrong. Ravich sure didnt appreciate Gammons changing his mind, and let him know last night. I really dont think that ESPN has focused on the White Sox winning as much as they have focused on what the Red Sox have to do to come back and win the series. And I am getting pretty annoyed at ESPN pimping Bill Simmons book about the Red Sox during every commercial break. It really shows their bias, if you ask me.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) Mike Greeneberg this morning said he was a diehard Yankees fan. That bothered me more than any of these nutswingers. Greenie spent years here, but obviously that effected him none. Why would this bother you? He may have interned in chicago, but he is from New York. If you moved to New York for an internship, would you expect to change allegiances?

Mariotti had his share of "pee in your food" quotes this morning himself

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) freddie is too composed for my liking. i would like to see more emotion out of him before i start to really embrace him. he is given major opportunity to show us what his character as a competitor is. i hope he goes to the hill with major chip on shoulder & big time edge to kick the BOSOX booties! I have never heard of someone being "too composed". Im guessing Schilling is going in game 3, if not starting, then he will be relieving Wakefield if he runs into any trouble.

I was wondering if AJ was going to sit today.

Did someone respond to that column? The post on the bottom from Michael in Chicago has a soxtalk feel to it.

Ozzie is vindicated because the score was lopsided? The method of baseball that this guy is disputing scored two quick runs before the homerun fireworks even started. btw, you can respond to this blog on SI.com if you want. There is a salty minnesota fan about halfway through the responses.

QUOTE(J-MAN @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) I ordered Sox Champs shirts and a hat from them last Thursday - I finally received an e-mail from them Today almost a week later saying the items are backordered !!!!!!!!! With no ship date! Needless to say I told them where to put them when they finally get them ! Don't waste your time with them - go down to Grandstand ! OK then!

Skilling's Game 2 forecast: Temperature at game time: 82 degrees Temperature at 9 p.m.: 77 degrees Winds: Nearly due South with 17 m.p.h. to 24 m.p.h. gusts The weather for Game 2 could be quite extraordinary by October standards, with rain holding off and temperatures beyond anything you could normally hope for. Much cooler air is on the way in coming days, but the front bringing it this way has slowed and appears likely to hold off until the predawn hours of Thursday. This will allow the warm air of recent days to linger through Wednesday's game. If the front has sped up overnight--like the White Sox bats--all weather bets are off. But, as it stands now, Wednesday night's weather could be warm, windy and summerlike with storms waiting until after the game

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) what the hell, apparantly i didn't have the REAL fionna apple, i'm so pissed, this is just soo out of place next to jon brions version...i'm really dissappointed i hate DMB but this is much like lillywhite vs. that DB who did everyday Where did this come from and what are you referring to?

I think that if the White Sox win tonite, Schilling starts game three.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) wow, that boston message board just kills francona over and over Over what? What could he have done yesterday that would have helped the situation? Everyone knows their bullpen is in shambles, and their starting pitching isnt up to par. Their offense got shut down, pure and simple. there wasnt anything he really could have done about it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) I'm always on the look out for acoustic versions of rock classics. Of course, I've the "easy to find" ones like Clapton's "Layla". If anyone has any available, I'd sure appreciate any help in collecting these that I can get. I have some great ones on my Ipod. Peter Gabriel "In your eyes", plenty of Bob Dylan, David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" is fantastic acoustic, also David Bowie "The man who sold the world", Simon and Garfunkel Lots of times I find these little goodies on Limewire without even knowing it. I download it and find out that its acoustic

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) In Qwerty's world the only reason we got better is because we lost Crawford. I didnt see him say that at all. He used the record to refute your assertion that Eddy and Crawford worked on the court together well. When did this happen? I certainly didnt see anything but two immature basketball players with tremendous skill, completely abandoning any sort of work ethic so that they could play one on five basketball. Lets face it, the Bulls SUCKED with those two players on the team and they were supposed to be the cornerstones. Now when Eddy is basically forced to develop a work ethic so that he could get paid, he showcases his skills until a heart problem set him back. Crawford has no such excuse. The kid can shoot. The kid cannot, or will not, defend. There was no place on the bulls for that type of player anymore. Isiah as executive of the year is f***ing hilarious. And it shows how much Crawford knows about the game.

Hey RD, hows about Jr treats you to lunch on Saturday? Happy Birthday Juicebox

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) Why does anyone care what Juan Gonzalez thinks? Because of Canseco's book, Palmeiro testing positive would almost mean Juan was as well since they are both named. He's just trying to protect himself. Thats a pretty stupid way of protecting himself, by opening his mouth. He has to know that the MLB has written him his last check, so it doesnt matter if he did roids or not. Juan Gone isnt going to the hall of fame IMO. Coming out and telling everyone that Palmeiro didnt do it is definitely going to put "guilty by association" in many peoples heads.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) There's no way you can blame those records solely on Crawford. I think Crawford was a symptom, not a cause. He went where he could play streetball, and look what it got him. A worse record than he had before.

IIRC, last year Sweetney gave the Bulls fits late in games. The Knicks would stick his wide body in the lane and he would scoop up and around eddy. I think the beauty in this deal is going to be the draft picks, and the addition of Tim Thomas. I think his little 5-10 ft jump shot is gonna be big for the bulls who lacked interior scoring without Eddy and Deng. The Bulls are going to be extremely scrappy this year, and I think they will carry thier confidence over from last year. Confidence will be huge for them, they started last year pretty bad, and once Skiles got them to win a few games they were a force.

Everyone is pointing out Buehrle's record and ERA against Boston exactly the same as they were pointing out Contreras' record and ERA yesterday. Its the playoffs, everyone starts fresh. I think Buehrle is really going to get up for this one tonite.

Who knows, maybe he will choose not to apply the shaving cream so he is in the clear, and maybe his curve wont have that bite to it.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2181227 Says he was always clean. Its funny coming from a guy who was always injured, yet was always in prime physical shape.

I wonder if the graph starts about .51% because of home field advantage?
