21 is snow right now.....

f***. Cubs game is on. There goes the sox feed in Champaign. f***

And there we go.

Nope. Someone here will remember it. Both teams wore the jerseys. I believe other teams in the MLB did it as well.

Random and not quite related...but a few years back, the sox had a game or two where they wore "futuristic" jerseys. I think one game was against Cleveland at home. Does anyone have pictures of these, or pics from the game?

For whatever reason, it just seems like our bats go to sleep at Comerica - and it's not like we're facing stud pitchers. I swear we've never won a game there from what i can remember, lol.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Ah, that would be most excellent. Let's hope we get it tonight. I'm having withdrawls. Shoulda went with me and Steve last night. We'll let you know when we're going again.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 09:01 AM) Holy smokes...look at I-Rod in that picture. Now, I'm not going to go out and call the guy a steroid user, but he looks awfully suspect. Let's keep our winning ways alive and I'll keep :fyou CSN+ and WCIU! Ch 21 is usually CSN+, just fyi.

We'll be doing this again soon, hopefully for the Detroit series. And if we're in it in September...could be a lot of miles put on my car.

Has been my fav player since his freshman year, always believed he would be a stud. Love that guy to death. Good luck, and thank you for all the memories. I'll surely never forget em.

Clutch performance by Kelly Clarkson as well

Just got back from the game. Nice performance by "Duke" and a solid job by the pen to hold the lead. Was great to get to the first game of the year. What a great day PS Church parking is amazing, we were on the highway within about 30 seconds tonight.

Steve and I are coming up from Champaign. Here's hoping my record at games this year isn't 5-10

We're taking our chances. Knock on wood. Off to the Cell from Champaign.

So funny.... :rolly

True or false, throwing home run balls back takes the runs off the board. Man, you really showed that guy!

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Blackhawk fans are famous for this, and I am probably the biggest Blackhawk fan of all. See: Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in 2002. I was 2 sections over from the absolute brawl in the 300 level.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) Whenever I go to some other team's stadium, I never wear my Sox stuff (or Hawks or Bears). I much prefer to quietly root for my team, check out the ballpark, and stay out of trouble. My dad suggested this approach to me a long time ago, and I've always agreed with his logic and I'm grateful he made his point clear. I've seen too many innocent fans take abuse, physical and otherwise, while wearing opposition hats and jerseys. There are too many nuts just looking to pick a fight, why give them a reason. I will wear my stuff to other's teams stadiums...if my team is playing. It's taking pride in your team. I do this with the Illini all the time. The apparel itself doesn't get you in trouble. It's how you act. If you're throwing f bombs around to thousands of people around you, you might be in for a long night. If you just cheer for your team...usually aren't many problems. I won't, however, wear stuff if my team isn't playing. Keeps you out of a lot of trouble, from what i can tell.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) I just want to point out that there are jerkoffs from Naperville, Evanston, and Barrington just as well as there are from a "trailer park". QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:22 AM)

Barrington...hey now...

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) From reading here and over at WSI, it was a nasty drunken crowd last nite. I try to avoid Monday and Tuesday nites, but went to a couple last year and it was an ugly environment. It would be nice to say it's all the fault of the goofy Cub fans who come over to start trouble, but that's not the whole story. There is definitely a large white trash element present on these 1/2 price nights. I see packs of young people, mostly wearing their dirty baseball caps backwards or sideways, literally bumping into people and looking to cause trouble. I'm not picking on young people here because stupidity has no age restrictions, but there is a huge poplulation of dirtbags at the ballpark on those nights. It'll be interesting to see how it goes tonite with the 2 for 1 special in the upper deck only. The Sox need to look long and hard at this issue. We'll Steve and I are coming tonight, so watch out. Maybe i'll even turn my hat sideways. Anyway, monday and tuesday games definitely bring a different crowd. I'll never forget the KC game 2 years ago where i saw about 5-6 different fights in the upper deck. I was ashamed to be a Sox fan that night, and i remember ranting about it. It just looks so terrible. A night at the park is supposed to be fun and relaxing, and some people make it anything but. I feel bad for people who have kids there. I mean i'm with friends my age and i still can't stand seeing it. I'd hate to have a son there.

What do you guys in Chicago think about tonight...

Still haven't gotten my box yet...

Alright me and steve are supposed to head to the game tomorrow, but i'm hearing about some rain. It would suck to drive 4 hours for a rainout. Post all weather updates and thoughts here tonight and tomorrow.
