QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) He has only been to the new ballpark once since it opened. Now they won't let him in it. seriously?

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) The guy is such a f***ing putz. He really seems to think he is more to the music landscape than he really is. Like we really give a f*** about him thta much? Man, I can't stand the guy, and he is nothing more than a local star. The rest of the country really doesn't care all that much about him, and the rest of the world REALLY doesn't. The thing is, Chicago puts out so few Top 10 acts (popular stuff here) of this sort, that when we do, we seem to think the bands are more important than they really are. To match the fact that the guy is a raging Cub fan, he is also an arrogant prick and a mediocre songwriter and a lowsy guitarist. What a shmuck. Billy Corgan is alot of things. Arrogant, self centered, raging Cub fan. But a mediocre songwriter and lowsy guitarist, and nothing more than a local star? The Pumpkins were alot more than just local stars. I dont even like the pumpkins all that much, but they were a hell of alot more than just local stars.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) When you see him grab the bandwagon to jump on, stomp the hell out of his hands. That will keep him off the bandwagon, and keep him from typing for a while. I was planning on chopping off his fingers so he cannot grab on and he also cannot type. 2 birds, 1 stone.

In 93 and 94, the Sox couldnt lose either. This guy is a tool.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) He is not a band-wagon jumper. Don't you see his sarcasm in this piece? It's yet another hatchet job to difuse the excitement White Sox fans are feeling. He's an unhappy Cub fan who is jealous of what you the White Sox fan are feeling right now. So in the midst of your celebration of homer happy Monday night he throwing cold water on your head by mentioning every negative thing that's occured he could think of. That's not a band-wagoner. That's a Grinch. He would like nothing more than to steal this season from you. I tend to think he is starting to run behind the bandwagon right now. He always catches on before its too late. He isnt on the bandwagon, but he is getting close. If the Cubs get demolished next weekend, he will be driving the bandwagon. He did the same thing when the Cubs went to the playoffs in 03, it is just taking him a little while to fall off the Cubs bandwagon.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) I would love it if Marriotti could stay with a team for an entire year. He is a band-wagon jumper. Only if that team is in China. Maybe he can move there and insult everyone in his path there. Im sure the Communist regime will appreciate his candor and non-bias.

Speaking of Dumbasses and Insider Info, does anyone around here have ESPN insider? The Royals rah rah Rob Neyer has some disparaging information about the White Sox and why they shouldnt be winning, and I was wondering what it entailed. The story is in the middle of the ESPN page under Ozzies smiling face with the title "The White Sox are winning games they shouldn't win. Rob Neyer offers three American League stats that you should know. " If it could be posted I would be a happy drinker

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:25 AM) A friend of mine told me that Billy Corgan took out a FULL page ad in today's Trib. In it he says, among other things, that he wants to get The Smashing Pumpkins back together. I don't really care about Billy or the Pumpkins, but I found that to be an interesting way of trying to communicate with your ex-band mates. Anyone else see this? That is really wierd considering that Corgan is releasing (or already released) his solo album soon. You would think he would put his focus into that. I hope the pumpkins dont turn into some The Who parody, going on tour everytime a bandmate runs out of money(cough cough, roger daltrey, cough cough). I always think its a shame when a band has their "last concert ever" and pimps hundreds of people out of 1000 dollar tickets (to the metro, no less) and turns around 5 years later and gets back together. It really taints their "last show ever", and makes it seem like a farce.

On my way to work today I was thinking about starting a thread like this. Being a former DJ it always intrigues me to find new music and what other people like. My suggestion for the year/month/day/minute? Anything by Ken Andrews, writer/producer of Failure, The Replicants, Year of the Rabbit, and On. Also a collaborative artist with Tool, Blinker the Star, Perfect Circle, etc.. If you havent heard of the band Failure(dont feel bad if you havent) check out the album "Fantastic Planet", its a concept album of a french cartoon(a cartoon that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever) and it has to be one of the best albums I have. recently his solo project "On" has really drawn me in. also another side project "Year of the Rabbit" really rocks, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes some moody alternative rock. www.kenandrews.com is where you can find out about what he is about, and also listen to a killer hook that really defines what his music sounds like. Check it out, I dont think it will dissapoint you. And my 1A choice is Blinker the Star. I have heard about these guys for a long time, and finally got around to listening to the music. Me likey. Me likey alot.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) Imagine if JR would have sprung for Clement instead of El Duque... When Matt Clement was interviewed when he came back into town for the Boston/Cubs showdown, he said that the Sox made a very comparable offer to what boston was offering, and it came down to going with the World Champs or staying in Chicago. I cant fault him for taking a little more money and going to a recent world champion.

I am convinced that Mariotti never watches games, he only reads boxscores and messageboards.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) he cant throw anyone out He had Podsednik gunned down at third, Teahen dropped the ball when Podsedniks foot hit his glove. Thats not Bucks fault.

I like that John Buck kid that the Royals got from the Beltran trade. I think he is gonna be a good catcher. He is a pretty good hitter too.

I didnt believe Dye could steal any bases, but he has proved me wrong.

Limatime isnt doing as much talking as he is griping.

Finally a player slides around the tag correctly! Woohoo!

That whole row of fans that interfered earlier is gone now, thats funny.

AJ is money when the ball is in the air.

Brown remains on fire.

does whitesoxmanager always talk in the third person?

I didnt know that DJ hated Lima so much. He really doesnt like Lima's act at all

Pauly gets Lima Time!

Way to pitch around that walk Brandon. Good first inning.

Did DJ really just say "Swinging the Shalele"? Did I really just hear that?

What channel is the game airing on tonite? I have directv and both WCIU and Comcast are showing Cubs vs Brewers as the listing? Is it on ESPN or ESPN2?
