QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 02:00 PM) Of the most mentioned contenders for him, they are second only to the Cubs in teams I don't want him to go to. I think best case, besides us, would be the Rangers or the Mariners. I don't think they're good enough for him to make them annoying to us when we enter our window of contention. I hope to heck the Mariners can land him. Great fit for both Seattle and Otani.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 05:53 AM) Cubs fans calling the score want to bench Heyward, Baez, Bryant, Schwarber, and maybe Zobrist too Great idea!!! All of 'em! You don't think maybe Cubbie fans are on the ledge, do ya?

Very saddened by this. R.I.P.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 14, 2017 -> 07:52 PM) Maddon left Montgomery in way too long Yeah, but he's a genius.......right?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 08:56 AM) Her biggest flaw was her name. If she was named Jackie Smith, or even Belinda FartKnocker, she would have won. But Hillary Clinton has such a negative connotation, it was the final nail in the coffin. Totally agree with this. I had told many people probably 7 or 8 years ago that Hillary could never win. Too many people hate her, unfairly or not doesn't matter. Just as another Bush (Jeb) couldn't win.

Winning is fun. Beating the Cubbies is REALLY fun!

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) First game I ever attended saw Gary Peters throw a complete game, 1-hitter against Baltimore. July 15, 1963: http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1963/B07150CHA1963.htm Pretty hard to top that! This is a good question. Off the top of my head without looking things up I've seen Peters, Bradley, Wood, Bahnsen, Lemonds, Stone, Barrios, Kravec, Perez, Buehrle, Garland, Garcia, Contreras. First game I saw Early Wynn was going for W #299. He didn't get it, losing to a young Jim Kaat and the Twins 2-0. I can't remember all the pitchers I saw in the 60's or even the 70's but I know I saw Peters, Pizarro, Wood, Stone and Bahnsen. I was at the game where Buehrle made his major league debut in relief of Baldwin. I was at the game too when Freddie Garcia made his home debut.

Generally speaking, I pretty much have the same luck. These days though since I can only see the Sox when they come to Seattle I go to all the games so I have a better chance of seeing the top of the rotation guys. Not always though, of course. I can always say though that I saw Humber's perfect game. For the most part too, the Sox have pretty good success here. So I at least see quite a few more wins than losses.

Love guacamole. Avocados are in my top 5 foods. I eat at least one a day.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:35 AM) Always appreciated his honesty and the man absolutely knew the game. For any interested here is the link to the interview that I had with him. Like in real life, he wasn't afraid to speak his mind and had some wonderful stories: http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/rwas/in...=11&id=2852 Pretty sure I had seen that interview before but enjoyed reading it again. Thanks for posting it. Jimmy was unique that's for sure. He and Harry were my all-time favorite broadcasting team They were sure fun to listen to.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 18, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) Chuck Berry, 90 John Lennon once said, “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'". He was truly a legend.
