I voted for Don't Need 'Em. I rarely wear gloves. I'm not sure I even currently own any. I don't think I've worn mittens since I was about 5 years old. Even as a kid, what good are they? How the hell could you throw a snowball?

Courtney Love. Oh, maybe not. I agree for pure sweetness, probably Karen Carpenter is tops. Best set of pipes ever...Arlene Smith of The Chantels ("Maybe" and "The Plea").

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) The only part i dont like about it is that Gio is involved. Other than that i am a fan of this deal. I agree kinda as far as Gio is concerned. The kid seems like a stud. I can only think that maybe the Sox think he's too small a guy to ever really make it big in the Majors. Anyway, prospects are just that, prospects. Scott Ruffcorn anyone?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) I really do love this trade. This was virtually what I've been asking for all offseason. I think everyone is going to miss Aaron though. I'll miss Rowand for his glove (not neccesarily his arm) and his demeanor. He's a cool guy and a fan favorite. But man last year his bat was weak. A change had to be made. Good luck in Philly, Aaron!

I like the trade. I just hope Thome is healthy. And I agree that Kenny is not done yet.

It was one of those cases where it coulda been ANY song and just happened to be that one. I love that song but my favorite Moodys song is probably "The Actor".

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) That would be the song you copped your first feel to. Oooooh. This doesn't really make any sense but my boob song is "Go Now", by the Moody Blues.

What the hell is a boob song? Like "Boobs Alot", by The Fugs??

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Moon River by Andy Williams makes me swoon . . . LOL!! Yeah, I suppose.

Ok these are all pretty old but here they are anyway: 1. "Make It With You", Bread (played at my wedding reception way back when 2. "Let's Get Married", Al Green 3. "Live With Me", Humble Pie 4. "I'll Be Your Mirror", Velvet Underground 5. "I've Been Loving You Too Long", Otis Redding 6. "You're On My Mind", The Animals 7. "I Hardly Knew Her Name", The Wackers 8. "Leave Her Never", John Fred and the Playboy Band 9. "Foolin' Around (The Waltz)", The Youngbloods and going waaay back... 10. There's A Moon Out Tonight", The Capris

I voted for the FOOD. More often than not (though not this year) I've always had to work on Thanksgiving which has always sucked. That Thanksgiving signals the beginning of the Christmas season is cool but the older I get the less special it seems. I'm not that huge a football fan to be thrilled with whatever games are on TV. As for the food, I love it all, especially dark meat and the dressing. But the very best is desert. I love pumpkin pie and there's usually also peach, blueberry, pecan, strawberry-ruhbarb and mincemeat. And oh those late at night turkey sandwiches!

I'd definately go with: 1. Baby, You're a Rich Man 2. When I'm Sixty Four 3. Eight Days A Week 4. Here Comes The Sun 5. BlackBird 6. Bungalow Bill 7. Happy Xmas, War Is Over (yeah, it's not the Beatles, but hey...kids even sing on it) 8. Golden Slumbers

I would tend to think that for most everyone it would be a popular hit. If you don't like an artist you wouldn't be too likely to hear anything but their most popular stuff. I've tried to think of an instance where I could apply this to myself and the only thing I can think of is waaay back in the early 70's I actually liked and bought an Osmond's 45, "Love Me For a Reason". I've always been kinda embarrassed about that.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) I wonder how/why he wound up in Denmark Link was actually 3/4 Shawnee Indian. He met a Danish girl who was studying American Indian culture, they fell in love and got married. This was around 1979.

Associated Press Copenhagen, Denmark - Guitar player Link Wray, who invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists, has died. He was 76. A native of Dunn, North Carolina, Wray's style is considered the blueprint for heavy metal and punk music. Wray's is best known for his 1958 instrumental Rumble, 1959's Rawhide and 1963's Jack the Ripper. His music has appeared in movies like Pulp Fiction, Independence Day and Desperado. His style is said to have inspired many other rock musicians, including Pete Townsend of the Who. David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Steve Van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen have also been quoted as saying that Wray and Rumble inspired them to become musicians. "He is the king; if it hadn't been for Link Wray and Rumble, I would have never picked up a guitar'," Townsend wrote on one of Wray's albums. Neil Young once said: "If I could go back in time and see any band, it would be Link Wray and the Raymen." According to Wray's official website, he invented the fuzz tone by deliberately punching holes in his amplifier speakers. In 2002, Guitar World magazine elected Wray one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Wray, known for his trademark black leather jacket, toured the United States and Canada from 1997 to 2002. He was half Shawnee Indian. The date of Wray's death was not known. He lived in Copenhagen. Denmark's Politiken newspaper said his funeral had already taken place in Copenhagen's Christian Church. No dates were given. His family could not be reached for comment. His official site does not mention his death. Wray is survived by his wife and son.

QUOTE(chisoxt @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 11:43 AM) I have no problem with North hosting the show.At least he has a lot of fire and passion about the Sox. Would you rather have Jesse or Lawrence Holmes? That said, the score did screw this thing up already by not tying Rooney up. I don't think there is anyone currently at the Score that I would care for. Definately not the two you mentioned. As for Mike North's "fire and passion".......puhleeze! If he does have fire and passion toward the White Sox, I believe it's fake. He doesn't strike me as a real genuine White Sox fan, just simply a bandwagon kinda guy. Regardless, he's too much a despicable person for my taste. And even if he were a "real genuine Sox fan", he's among the worst radio personalities I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.

QUOTE(JimH @ Nov 19, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) Well, frankly, they will dismiss your email. Nothing personal, you are a knowledgeable fan and by all accounts a good guy, but when you construct a complaint and say, "way to f*** it up" they will figure it's coming from somebody they don't want to appeal to anyways, and delete the email. It won't be taken seriously. Here is the way I view it, this show gives White Sox fans some White Sox information in November. In the grand scheme of things, that's more important than who hosts the show. No one is ever happy with the hosts anyways, someone always had a beef with hosts of these shows going all the way back to Al Lerner on WSNS TV 44 back in the early 70's. I pretty much agree, maybe I should have cooled down a bit before I whipped out an angry e-mail. The very mention of Mike North's name makes my blood boil. The one thing I disagree with you about and find ironically funny is the idea of exactly who does the Score want to appeal to by putting Mike f***ING North on the air in the first place? He is an idiot and he's crude. I do understand that they would dismiss my e-mail, regardless of whether it contained objectionable language or not. I just want them to know how I feel. Now they know.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) They already figured out a way to screw it up...Mike North is hosting it! Well, that being the case I won't even give it a chance. That's how much I detest that f***ing idiot. God, I hate the Score. I just e-mailed the Score: "I was excited to hear of the White Sox Weekly show. Great news!! Then, I heard Mike North is hosting it. Don't you guys realize most White Sox fans detest that idiot? BAD BAD move. I won't listen. BOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm really pissed off about this. Way to f*** it up!" Hey, what can it hurt?

"The show will be hosted by WSCR talent, including White Sox play-by-play announcer Ed Farmer." Score TALENT??? Seriously though. This could be good, we'll have to wait and see.

A little surprising maybe but hardly shocking. What a great memory we'll always have of Blum's homer. I wish Blum nothing but the best. He was certainly a CLASS guy.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) I really, really liked Dolgin. He had big shoes to fill and did damn good imo. I liked him, not as much as I liked Wills, but he did OK. I like Farmio doing color, but doing play by play he sucks. White Sox radio broadcasts are not going to be good. Ugh. And I don't think it'll happen but if Mike North is in any way connected, count me out as a listener. I flat out won't listen to that jerk.

Carlton Fisk, Hawk and Wimpy (Paciorek was a really nice guy) and Terry Bevington. Bevington was drunk and very obnoxious. Not a nice man. I met Jim McMahon and though he's kind of an asshole he was a nice asshole. I was working security at a resort where he was staying and I had to go tell him and his friends to shut up at about 4AM. He was nice and cooperative. The nicest guy in sports that I ever met was George Gervin. I actually rode around on a golf cart with him. He was as down-to-earth and friendly as you can get.

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) Chip Caray should not be on any hall of fame list. But wow there are a lot of nominees. In all honesty, if I were to choose 3 names from that list, Rooney wouldn't be one of them. There's some legends, Coleman, Rizzuto, Reese, Harmon, Dean. Dizzy Dean was a riot if you were fortunate to ever hear him broadcast a game. But, there are some real bad announcers on that list too. Chip Caray definately being one of them.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) Okay, I can't justify this at all. I can justify us not winning an MVP, ROY, Cy, or GG, but this is ridiculous. KW, call the cops, you got robbed. My feelings exactly. I thought Kenny was a shoo-in. What do I know? I'd be mad but hey, we won the f***ing World Series. f*** all these awards.

Jack Nicholson as Bobby Dupea in Five Easy Pieces: The movie's most famous scene takes place in a roadside diner, where Bobby tries to get a waitress to bring him toast with his breakfast (it's not on the menu). Despite appeals to logic and common sense, the waitress adamantly sticks to the rules of the restaurant, so Bobby comes up with a plan of his own: Bobby: I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee. Waitress: A #2, chicken sal san. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else? Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules. Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh? Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
