QUOTE(GoArow33 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) So I woke up this morning to get my paper and I notice that my White Sox flag has been taken off its stand and thrown onto the driveway and when I walked further down that some drunken loser had written Cubs in spray paint across my side walk. This happens to be beyond friendly jeering in my mind and I'm quite upset that I'll probably have to get new concrete in to cover up this trash on my sidewalk. So today I'll be cheering extra loud on the first base side @ the cell. GO SOX!!! Win this one for my sidewalk... thats pretty pathetic. it lets you know how they feel about the upcoming series though.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 07:52 AM) Shall we bring back the b*tch*ass Pationless Sox thread for comparison? Corpseball? It's all good and what makes mlb so much fun. I love rapid fans of every team. It's the casual fan that is most likely an idiot you want to stay away from. Passion-less? Rabid? Where is this passion-less thread you speak of?

QUOTE(Allsox @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) No, I wasn't kidding....Even Ozzie said in the postgame conf Tues this kid's got good stuff and has no idea how he's 1 - 8....He's playing for the KC Royals, who haven't been world beaters the last two years....Any situation would be better for that kid than there.... Im just saying that the Royals wont trade a potential ace to a team in their own division who is already in first place. thats just silly

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Mariotti, Padilla and another columnist from Chicago have said the same. Sure, the two most trusted and unbiased journalists in Chicago. Who is the other columnist?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) It's not just that. It's the pitcher's spot being a nearly-automatic out. Except when Zambrano pitches against the Brewers

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Ivanna Getrunover...i know it's corny. For some reason, I thought of Fred Willards character in "A Mighty Wind". thats the kind of joke he would have told, LOL

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) well i think STUPID goes a little further than that...perhaps Rasheed leaving Horry open for an uncontested in rhythm roll out the red carpet here you go buddy 3 to lose game 5....was well pretty silly.....or maybe larussa & macquire the year he was injured in the playoffs came out to pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on second and first base open trailing by a run? or perhaps Ditka not giving walter the ball for the TD? comments can be taken for what they are worth, actions can be well....... pretty questionable sometimes! i for one would really hate to call someone or somebodys opinion as stupid, but sure comes easily to some. after all you are talking down on your "got your back" white sox bro any time of the day or night! do you have any idea what it is like to be surrounded at a game with just dodgers or angels or A's or Padres fans sporting the jerz and calling em all out? just coming into this forum was to bring the love...? look guys i might bring some weird stuff to the table but if you want me to bap myself on the head to make it in here...well here you go.... Bring reality to the table(and not talking in the third person), and you will have smooth sailing from here on out. You ask us to consider a situation in which the Cubs would "lend" us their best players because they are out of contention(which they are not). Did you expect honest "Yeah that sounds like a great idea!" responses? What purpose would a best of 5 All-Star series serve? Not to mention the fact that All-Stars wouldnt want to play an extra 5 games a season while the rest of the league gets 5 days off, or what would happen should an All-Star get hurt while playing the All-Star series. It just doesnt have any real purpose. Ask an honest, plausible question. Get an honest, plausible answer. Ask a stupid, theoretical question.....you get the idea.

I found this on benmaller.com the little bulldog found a home with the Indians, nice to hear.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) Being a Jew, I've never read the New Testament, because, well, the sequel is never as good as the original...BUT, I thought Jesus was supposed to love everyone? A little story, a friend of mine recently had a couples shower. Her family is very religious, although she's not. Anyway, the shower was in March. My fiancee and I were asked if we set a date. We said no, but we want to do it the first or second week of April. The bride's sister-in-law chirps immediately, "Y'know, you can't get married during lent because you can't have music or flowers in a Catholic Church during lent." Immediately, the hairs on the back of both of our necks stood on end and I could feel the blood boiling. As said before, I'm Jewish...and my fiancee is Lutheran, but was brought up in a Protestant family (Her stepfather is a Congregationalist minister). So, not only did she ASSUME we were getting married in a Catholic Church, she ASSUMED we were both Catholic. Then, when she was talking to her sister-in-law about going to church, she says, "You're not going to go to that church by your house, are you? What is it San Jose Church, with all the Mexicans?" At that point, I look over at my fiancee and give her the, "If we don't leave now, I think we may have to skip the wedding because I'm going to stick my foot right up her pseudo-righteous ass" look. I couldn't believe that a self professed "Good Catholic" could spew that sort of crap out of her mouth...at least not without that nights meal. being a catholic(not practicing, but still of the faith), i still have no idea where some of these people get their ideas and why they feel the need to push them on everyone else. My grandmother was a devout catholic, and she had some crazy ideas about herself. One time she caught my dad smokin doobs when he was a teenager and proclaimed that "pot will turn you gay. I now have a gay son". Thankfully that wasnt the case, otherwise I wouldnt be here

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Schmidt's is having a weak year & has never pitched regularly against AL lineups. Lilly is proven success in that dept. Schmidt is still a health risk & a question mark. Sure, if proven success means a career 4.49 ERA, with only two of his 8 years under 4. QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Just look at Pavano & Johnson for how hard it is for fireballers to make the transition. Are you inferring that Randy Johnson has had a hard time going through a transition BACK to the AL? Maybe it is just that he has lost 7 MPH off of his fastball in the past 4 years and has had major knee and back problems for the past 2 years? QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Chemistry wise Lilly will do whatever is asked of him because he's done that his whole career. He's not a big headed ego. Schmidt has been a #1 for most of his career. I don't know how he will sit as #4/#5 nor how he'll take to sharing the spot with El Duque. So if Schmidt isnt annointed #1 he is going to be unhappy? You think he is going to give a s***? He would be inserted into the rotation wherever a spot was open, and pitch, just like anyone else would. QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) If we are more concerned about chemistry than fortifying weakness Lilly is a far lower risk in that dept. debatable.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Now, I know this is a completely oddball question, but are any of you on friendster? if so, are any of you the fake profile of Hawk Harrelson or know the person who is the pretend Hawk? if so, can you go and accept my friend request already? i sent it about six weeks ago, and he hasn't logged back on since early April. it is perhaps the funniest profile i've ever read, and i want to be his friend. thank you, and have a nice day. quite possibly the most random thing I have read on this site in over 10 days. A friend request, how strange.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Here in San Fran the rumor is that the Giants wants to trade several older players and get alot younger... Players that are rumor to be traded is Alou Schmidt Durham Rueter Alfonzo Feliz Snow I wonder what it would cost to pry JT Snow AND Schmidt away from the Giants. That would solve every problem the Sox have (theoretically) wouldnt it? Duque (or even Contreras) to the Pen, a good backup for 1B. If Crede is dying at third, Uribe could move to third and Ozuna could go to SS, without having to worry about backup depth at the 2b position. dreamin out loud......

The moral majority, isnt that what they are called? What a crock.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) Stark also said in his interview that 3 teams that really want Schmidt is the Whitesox Orioles Philadelphia Philly must really be feeling the heat right now. I just dont see them as a contender this year.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Name that starter. Pedro Astacio was just released from the Rangers. Vote for Pedro

Poor Jamin Elliott. that guy has been shuffled around like a checker piece.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) Do you ever listen to his interviews? He says dumb stuff all the time, and when they show it on ESPN they always have mixed feelings about it but more guys seem to enjoy it than guys who dont. You must be reading different newspapers and listening to different sports radio than me. Ozzie has not gotten a pass on anything he has said. Brad palmer? Magglio Ordonez? Frank thomas? Name me an issue that he has gotten away with.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) Im listening to the radio here in SF and on XM radio Jayson Stark said that Larry Monroe was scouting Jason Schmidt performance last night Who dat?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 10:25 AM) Think about it this way folks. Down the stretch we play Min a bunch of times. How does this look? 1.MB 2. FG 3. JC 4. JG 5. Jason Schmidt Honestly, can you even lose 2 games in a row? Three, no way. Schmidt reunited with AJ, returns to his dominant form from last year. We have the bullpen to assure he doesnt overwork his arm (Dusty). That rotation is the best in the league, hands down. Each arm gives you a chance for a shutout, everyday. Thats unbelieveable. Three aces in one rotation, 2 gives teams a WS title, what does three do? It is certainly impressive when you look at it like that. I would switch Garland to my number 3 and put Contreras as the 4, but thats just me. Last year didnt Schmidt go through a similar start to the year, where his velocity was down and everyone was questioning his arm, and then he kicked into high gear for the remainder of the year? That would be a nice boost for sure.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/06/23/baptists....y.ap/index.html In other news, Disney still could care less. LOL What a ridiculous reason to boycott a company.

Also not posted on this thread was the beginning of the article: I dont like reading what Ozzie said about Prior. I dont want anyone to give Prior any motivation.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) Because "Twinkies" and "Flubs" is a lot better... we're pretty dumb about stuff we do here, too. touche' people are ejected for reasons other than being a fan of another team though.

For as knowledgeable and nice as she came off to Kapkomet and Texsox, she certainly comes off as childish and vindictive on her website. I guess perception is not always reality, but come on. She threatens to kick off anyone who cheers for a team other than the Twins immediately.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 08:55 AM) Can we get Zack Greinke from KC instead of Lilly? The Sox would give this kid at least 12 more wins if he pitched for us! please tell me you meant to type this in green and forgot.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 02:37 AM) Idonno he does have a point, Ozzie seems to get away with a lot of dumb s*** that he says... but i guess the antidote for getting away with dumb s*** is winning Name me one time when Ozzie got away with something stupid that he said? I cannot think of one time when Ozzie said something controversial that he wasnt grilled in the local and national media immediately afterwards. Dusty gets the same "homeboy" treatment whether he likes it or not. What an ever-complaining nobody-likes-me/us b****, Dusty is such a whiner.
