QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) The Score has nothing to do with the broadcasters it is the team that does. This is a Sox decision. The SCORE may ahve input but they work for the Sox. Teh SCORE is a s*** station none the less and this is a real pisser. Why is DJ still employeed, does anyone like him???? Uh Oh. Speak not of what you do not understand! http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...cs-home-utility Send your petition off to Brooks. See what good it does.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) What Hype...he didnt play for like 2 years or something and didnt get drafted high either....werent too many expectations The hype during and after his FROSH year. Also the hype that has kept him in the spotlight(for the most part) since he was kicked out of school. If he wasnt hyped then we never would have heard from him again. Unfortunately, we keep hearing about him.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) That's totally correct because Ron Turner is the god of 3rd and 20 draw plays... How so? Last time he was the OC, Erik Kramer broke every passing record the bears held, and Curtis Conway was his primary target. Seeing what happened to both of their careers when Turner left, I would have to say he is much better than the "God of 3rd and 20 plays". Turner may have flopped as the head coach of the illini, but he is a damn fine OC.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) I agree Crooked and Slanted are both solid. What's new that I should get my hands on? Any recommendations? I really like "I am Kloot' English folk rock band, the lead singer has a bob Dylan feel about him.

QUOTE(bmags @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) have you ever heard the bends? I own the bends. I dont think it is nearly as rocked out as Muse gets, but thats just me. What is SLSK?

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) a team with an injury will most likely pick him up and use the injury as an excuse to put him on the roster, if need be. I dont think there is any scenario in which Ponson could qualify for postseason. Of course, he could pitch in the next month, but i am fairly sure he isnt eligible to play in the playoffs(correct me if I am wrong).

QUOTE(bmags @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) yeah, of muse, travis, and coldplay...muse is the only radiohead ripoff i get mildly entertained my... now MEW on the other hand...is aceeeee Well, Muse is much more rocked out than Radiohead ever was. They are starting to develop the oddness of Radiohead though, thats for sure. I still love the song "Hysteria", I think the opening bass/guitar riff is killer.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) Speaking of The Killers, the Cure, The Smiths.... etc, does anyone like The Dears? Their last record has grown on me slowly, but in a very big way. It's kind of Morrissey-esque, with slight hints of jazz and trip hop. Anyone? I will tell you tomorrow. My Limewire will be hooked up tonite

On the subject of singers sounding alike, has anyone noticed that the band Muse sounds like a rocked out Radiohead? Their lead singers have identical voices.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) Eh, maybe not, although the lines about playing with stars and uniting seem like they could be obscure Valentine Michael Smith/SISL references. Well, the Killers are a Vegas band. He could be writing obscure references, or talking about being in Vegas and seeing stars. Who knows. Anywho, I really like that song

I would like to see a banner of the old "good guys wear black" team up on top. Remember the GGWB commercials where they were all leaning on a fence or something, just hanging out? You certainly cant say someone on the banner is slumping because their pic is on the banner.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) Ah, a Heinlein Stranger homage. Probably my favorite sci-fi work ever. Hmmm, didnt know about that. the whole song he is singing about a massive roadtrip he went on with a friend named Michael Valentine. here are the lyrics, you tell me if he is paying homage.

QUOTE(bmags @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) that one doesn't get me as mad (when its used as a negative cause there obviously are similarities) when people say pavement ripped off the fall (WHich came from maybe three songs in their entire catalogue) Im not too familiar with Pavement, but my best friend loves them, and he is a big Steven Malkmus fan too. Right now i am way too into anything that Ken Andrews does. It is seriously becoming unhealthy. I might classify myself as a stalker if he keeps releasing albums.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) I feel personally attacked, wah. Kinda related, the other day it hit me that the dude from The Killers sometimes kinda sounds like Robert Smith of The Cure. Definitely. The killers have a very 80's feel about their music. My favorite song of theirs was on a single, "The Ballad of Michael Valentine". I really like their album "Hot Fuss", but I have no idea how they could leave "Valentine" off of that album.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) Youngins. :headshake , Hey, im 27. I was barely 2 when Ian died. here is to your "youngins" :finger

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) Just start hitting. Thats all that needs to happen. The pitching and defense will be fine. They just need to hit and score runs. It takes pressure off of a pitching staff that has earned us this record. Line drives and singles, stringing hits together, getting on base. These things will help prepare us for the playoffs. NOW LETS GET BACK TO THE RALLY CRY.. EAT s*** TIGGGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Dammit, I thought the rally cry was "EAT s*** NUKE_CLEVELAND!!!!!!!!!!!" Im going to have to change my rally cry now

The strange processes of my brain: Im listening to my Ipod, and the song "Dead Souls" by Nine Inch Nails(on The Crow soundtrack) comes on. Its one of my favorites, and I remembered that it was a cover from a late 70's band called Joy Division, and that the lead singer had died somehow. So naturally i googled Joy Division to get the story on the band. Much to my surprise, I found out that when the lead singer of Joy Division died in 1980, the remaining members stayed together and became New Order. You find out something new and cool every day. I have been a New Order fan for quite some time, and I had no idea of the connection to Joy Division.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) I don't think it is responsible for journalists to ever be on the bandwagon to begin with. If you want bandwagon journalism listen to hawk and read whatever excellent stuff Brooks is sending out today. Objectivity should be their code, not cheering from the press box. In fact, that is considered very bush league to be cheering. But what about when he cheers when the going is good, only to turn around a week later and tell you "the choke is on you' when the team has a bad stretch? I have seen Mariotti say for the last month that the Sox were a lock for the playoffs, both in print and on PTI and ATH. Now he changes his tune. Windsock.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) 87 years. 1st and 2nd halfs of 2005 eerily similar to 2000. Need I go on? No, you dont need to go on. I think that was Controlled Chaos' point.

IM WITH YA CHAOS! PREACH ON BROTHER-MAN!

It was one of the better moments I have seen on sportscenter in the past 5 years. Robinson has a great poker face.

Will this kid ever make something of himself? Will he ever become a shade of the record setting back that he was in his freshman year at Ohio State? He continues to amaze me with his high opinion of himself. Any thoughts? I know some people out there thought he was railroaded out of Ohio State and that he took the blame for alot of things that were out of his control.

Tex, got you something. Hope you like it Its in the mail. Should be there in 5-7 business days. Happy birthday Tex

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) Drinking games! Anyone play Alchy Uno? Played like regular Uno, only you do a shot for every 250 points. We also took unlimited cards if you don't have a play. I think for a period of time, any game that we played was played with alcohol as our punishment/reward. Cards, Board games, the question game, word games, tic tac toe, every single one of them had alcohol applied.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) Ah ha. Me and a few guys always watched 90210 together. We never told anyone cuz we thought we were the only ones. When you only have like 15 channels in the dorms, it's tough finding good entertainment. We didnt watch it as much as we used it as a timer. But the acting was unintentionally hilarious. Which dorm did you live in? I lived in Schneider, 7th floor.
