Hey, don't knock Aaron Neville.

And trust me, you don't want to anger The Rally Crede. That would be a very bad thing.

John Cougar Mellancamp did not write "Roody Toot Toot". The Rally Crede did. Rooty Toot Toot -The Rally Crede Got my hands on a little bit of dough So I went to the grocery store And got some steaks to go went by and picked up my gal, Teddi Jo We had ourselves a picnic Beside a dirt road Rooty toot toot Rooty toot toot We had it made in the shade Like a ball through the hoop Spinnin' and tumblin' inside this hoola hoop Livin' and learnin' Rooty toot toot We laid out a blanket And started a fire Had the radio playin' From inside the car I took off my shirt and kicked off my shoes She read the paper And told me the news She said, there's a lot of people out there Who are at the end of their rope Sometimes baby You've got to lay low Chorus We stayed there all day We both got us some real good suntans I thought that was ok Sometimes life can be so grand We were gettin' ready To shake out of that place When the Illinois state trooper Got in my face He said, You're on private property But once he cooled down he was ok Sometimes you're golden, man That's all I got to say Chorus

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 08:56 AM) We roughed up Roger Clemens, who many have called the best pitcher of all time, we managed a win in a game that Andy Pettitte, who is one of the better post season pitchers ever, started, and we roughed up (and should have beat if not for a bad homerun call) Roy Oswalt, a guy who has won 20 the last two seasons. We're not exactly beating the little sisters of the poor here. Yes, historically we're not one of the great teams, but I've seen weaker teams win titles. Right on, dude. For someone to suggest that the Sox have won (and won and won and won and...) only because of facing weakened opponents or lucking out not having to face a guy at his best or even because of benefiting from umpires calls is total bulls***. Sure, the White Sox may not be the best team ever but come on they're doing everything right and are clearly damn good.

Do fish swim? Do birds fly? Do the Cubs suck?

Who is this Dusty Baker you speak of?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 07:23 AM) Wouldn't you be annoyed with your offense if the White Sox did that last night? We'll never know, we have The Rally Crede on our side.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 06:32 AM) Isn't "beaning" a guy a hit to the head? Crede took it in the chest. Crede got REALLY pissed! LOL!!! Never seen that before, and then the benches looked ready to clear. Those are two teams FIGHTING big time!!! And the "b****ing" was he and Ozzie yelling at each other. More like he and Jurrasic yelling at each other. Garner was classless for sure, but tensions were really high especially for Garner whose Astros are now DOWN 3-0!!.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 06:12 AM) The Rally Crede thrives on 4 hours of sleep! Actually, the Rally Crede never sleeps. But, He has been known to sometimes go on vacation.

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Blum! Blum!! Blum!!! The Rally Crede was a big factor once again.....

A story such as this could only come from Cubdom. Or is it Cubdumb?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) The Rally Crede never takes a day off. That may be true, but one day many years ago The Rally Crede was kinda bored so he sat down and wrote Layla, Stairway To Heaven and yes, Thunderstruck.

Rest in peace, Rosa Parks. God has blessed you and millions of others because of you.

QUOTE(GSH @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) Ok I'm in...it's going to take some time to read all these post. You will never regret it, in fact by doing so you will be wiser than you can ever fathom. Believe in the power of the Rally Crede. Amen.

Knowledgable Cub fans ( ) and some baseball historians will argue that Gabby Hartnett's "Homer in the Gloamin'" is the biggest homer in the history of Chicago baseball. In the late season of 1938 Hartnett, then a player-manager I believe, hit a homer late in a game in near darkness (pre-lights at Wrigley) to catapult the Flubs to a pennant. That said, I have to go with Konerko's homer. My son and I were so pissed off with the way the game was going and we had discussed an inning earlier how we needed Konerko to "do something". That it came in such dramatic fashion and on the first pitch, not to mention that it was a no-doubter which was absolutely crushed and simply turned the game around, giving the Sox new life, yeah I say it was Konerko's GRAND SLAM. :fthecubs

Interesting to note that the Sox are picking up steam and have apparently won over a lot more people, even leading in New York!

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) And did you see Frank poke his head out of the clubhouse after Paulie hit that Slam? Gave him a high five and I think a hug. That's class and I'm glad he's getting to enjoy the games with the team, even though he's injured. That was very cool. I think it's also awesome that Anderson, McCarthy, Borchard and I'm not sure who else are getting to be a part of this. It's great!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) All baseball fans are buttholes. Just kidding. There's good fans almost everywhere, except some large, big ass urinal on the north side of Chicago. LOL!! Wiredawg, thanks for the nice thoughts.

I won't hate them any less though I may pay less attention to them, not that I pay much attention now. Bottom line: They suck and they'll continue to suck. I hate them and I'll continue to hate them. If they continue to outdraw us in attendance, so f***in' what?

I may be alone in this, but I actually like Reynolds. Of all the idiots on ESPN I think he's the best and usually knows what he's talking about. Kruk is a joke. As for McCarver and Buck....morons.

There will be converts, new fans, whatever you want to call them. But, the majority of the bandwagoneers are just along for the moment. The kind of people who get off on saying "they were there". They're the ones that I hate. But, I agree, unfortunately so, that they're making the club a lot of money and that's a good thing. But, all in all, I f***ing hate bandwagoneers. I used to go to games back in '69 and '70 and was often one of anywhere between one or two thousand fans in attendance. I went to a couple of games that didn't even draw 1,000. Frankly, it sickens me to see people who only come out for something like this. Oh well though, that's just the way of things.

PODS!!! Man, I love this team. These two games have been terrific but tonights has to go down as (so far) THE best Sox game EVER!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

QUOTE(Art Vandelay @ Oct 23, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) I guess you'd have to know these people the way I do to appreciate the humor. Every year they completely fixate on one player they swear the Cubs are going to get (e.g. Carlos Beltran, Scott Rolen), and every year the Cubs don't get that player. They fixate on ONE player?! Hell, they usually think they're getting everyone.
