QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) I'm playing hookie for the next 3 days, I'm a bigger badass then snb and that's saying something. That goes for me as well - Missing all three classes tomorrow and going to the game Missing my only class wednesday and going to the game Missing only class thursday to attempt to by ALCS tickets

Thanks all for the well wishes. Let's just hope we can all celebrate my birthday tomorrow instead of on the off day today In other news, turning 22 is pretty lame. Now i'm just old.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) 1) keep damon and renteria off the basepaths. if you can do that, manny and ortiz won't seem as scary Gee, great minds think alike...

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) All I can really say before this series is this. I am very happy to be able to not only be at the Cell Tuesday and Wednesday, but also have confidence, real confidence that we can beat the Red Sox, or for that matter anyone in the playoffs. This isnt a team that just had enough to get into the playoffs. We all got a kick out of what Hawk said about this team, and we was dead on. You win 99 games cause your good, DAMN good. Win or lose, I will at least know that I had confidence in my boys. Thank you White Sox, and thank you Kenny. Lets kick some Red Sox ass. You're welcome

So if it ends up Boston-Sox and Yankees-Angels, who gets the night games? Does the NY factor trump all?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 09:32 PM) Cool. I guess I'll just have ot study extra early or something. So if they play Anaheim the weekend games will be in Anaheim (the Friday and Saturday ones). Than they travel back to Chicago for a game on Monday (or so I'd guess). I'd be definately down for a Friday and Saturday Sox games in Anaheim. That would be most perfect. Final home game would be Sunday. Play 5/6 days, only offday is Thu.

One word: Relieved.

oh my god no

Going to by 12:00 class to take a quiz, then walking out after the quiz to come home and watch the game.

And i think those that think ozzie is a good game manager don't understand the game of basebal very well. And if you want to talk forest-trees: Lou Piniella.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) Sour Grapes, thy name is Illini. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=ci...adel&type=story Good gains from a 5th string RB? -- He averaged 2.4 yards per carry on the season, and finished with something like 250 yards on the season. New quarterback? -- Brad Banks was the #1 JuCo QB recruit in 2000. He sat on the bench in '01 learned the system (Protect the ball, make mistakes with your feet not your arm) and in 2002 was ready to become the big 10's best QB. Ken O'Keefe opened up the playbook to include option and lots of designed QB runs. He tailored the offense to his talent. -- Nathan Chandler was the #1 JuCo QB recruit in 2001. He lead the nation in passing. He sat on the bench in '02 learned the system (Protect the ball, make mistakes with your feet not your arm) and in 2003 was ready to be a servicable Big 10 QB. Thanks to a great offensive line he was rarely pressured and had one of the nations top running games. Ken O'Keefe trimmed the playbook to mostly a running, play action passing, and short pass game. He never gave too much for Chandler to handle. He tailored the offense to his talent. -- Drew Tate was a top 15 QB prospect in 2002. He set the national records for passing in HS. He sat on the bench in 2003, learned the system (Protect the ball, make mistakes with your feet, not your arm) and was Iowa's best option at QB for 2004. He struggled early as RB after RB was sidelined for the season, but as the season progressed the Iowa offensive coordinator Ken O'Keefe learned what the kid could do, and built an offense that played to his stregths. He tailored the offense to his talent. -- This all sounds like 1) good recruiting and 2) great coaching. -- I know the latter has severely lacking in Champaign since well forever. Miraculous last second victory in the Cap One Bowl. -- Iowa trailed for 45 seconds..... THE ENTIRE GAME! Meh, s***ty article, not going to argue it...just give us our ass whooping and we'll be on our way to IU. Iowa certainly isn't as dominant as they have been the past few years, but it should be more than enough to pound us around for 4 quarters.

Losing the ball in the sun is not an error. It happens. That's a terrible example.

Yeah, i posted this in the college football thread, there are some comments there as well.

Quite frankly they may lose 5 games this year

Ended up 8-7 after starting 7-1 overall. 6-7 at the cell 1-0 at wrigley 1-0 at comerica

What a story this is...

Happy Bday to one of Soxtalk's youngest posters!

Congrats to everyone with all the ongoing stuff... It's stuff i like to read about, but never think about...LOL

Yeah, something similar to this has been going around U of I... "Don't i look cute in this pic?" and it has a link It's a virus that goes to everyone on your buddy list. One of my friends had her AIM sn banned, and had to get a new one.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) I don't quite understand what the sarcasm has to do with his disparaging comments.. Or maybe I've just missed the normal bulls*** around here lately where some posters do nothing but b**** and moan about how they KNOW what Ozzie should be doing.. And we're usually right. Ozzie is a brutal game manager. Period.

Who had 2 teams in the final four last year, and another in the elite 8.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) We obviously don't need Ozzie since the job is so easy that any message board poster can do it... Timeout. His game managing sucks. How many times have people FIRST guessed him and been right? Too many times for me to count. He's a cheerleader. We can go get another one of those. He wants out? Don't let us stop you.

First televised Hawks game tonight. They take on the Wild at 7:00 on CSN+******* *******Game will only be seen if Comcast isn't a huge sack of crap like it was earlier tonight. Unbelievable.
