QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) Years from now it would be. I don't buy a jersey for just one season. No, i realize that...nor do I. Hell, i still wear my Sullivan (hawks) jersey. But most people would just think "mccarthy isn't 41"

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Bout time.. that Mark one just about walks on it's own. I'm gonna get a #1 Steff jersey

Mike, i don't know if i'd classify a 41 Bmac jersey as retro if he changes his number for next year...

One time on Boers and Bernstein on their "friday fung" section they had "best excuses not to come into work" Anyway, some guy called and said one time this woman used the excuse that her electricity went out, and it was too dark to put on clothes. Another good one - this guy said his car was surrounded by ducks, so there was obviously no way he could drive into work today. I don't recommend trying either of these, but they are hilarious.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:14 AM) Going out to watch the game..? Anyway's? Champps? Leave at 1, you'll make it down here by gametime.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) Brandon McCarthy... that is what I am having done at the fest. All though a Jeff Bajenaru would be cool points for Soxtalk reasons. Yeah, i'm just worried of a number change, like Jason said. Jason...has he always been #41? Like in the minors? I'm not up to date on my minor league jersey numbers Also, do you think players care about keeping the same number for many years, knowing it will mess up fans' jerseys? When i bought my Buehrle in 2001, i was really scared that #56 was a bogus number and he'd be changing it soon.

I think i'm gonna jump on one of these after i figure out who to put on the back of it.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) New coach, lots of new players, they weren't going to click from game one. It's players like Tyler Arnason and Mark Bell that will determine whether the Hawks will make the playoffs though. Can they become 60+ point scorers? Arnason yes, Bell if he stays on the 3rd line, i'd say no

That one looks real sweet. It's about time they got something that could show pts and fouls on it.

Thing is, Garland's been at Fenway how many times in his career fielding some BP? And he's never noticed/looked into that hole?

This thread = the suck

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) Clement's exit sounded f***ing awesome on the radio. It was ridiculously loud. Nancy stopped playing during the "hey hey hey, goodbye" part, just to let the crowd do its thing. I loved it.

I'd be there if i wasn't at the Sox game. Have fun tonight, should be a blast.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) I can't wait to get back to the park, I don't want to sleep. I hear you there man. Did you go all the way back to SIU after the game? I'm back in Champaign, driving back up tomorrow.

If we win tomorrow, there will be full-blown panic in Boston. That would be some interesting reading.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) Good stuff Steve and looks like you guys had some solid seats (nice pictures from the game too). You guys are going back tomorrow right? Hopefully you bring the same kind of luck back to the park tomorrow Steve has a test at 7 that they wouldn't let him take the conflict for. Lame as hell. I'm heading back up tomorrow between 1-2pm. Yeah, our seats were real solid today, great view of the whole place. Also, i temporarily lost my sunglasses during the mosh pit after A.J's homer. What an electric atmosphere.

I wanted Anderson to be the backup, so this works for me. I'm also glad Leighton gets a shot somewhere else. He deserves it.
