QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) i just realized something! it's a f***ing good thing we lost last night. see if you can spot a trend: we came into the season w/ everyone expecting a 4th place finish: we were the best in the AL everyone expected cleveland to overtake us: we won everyone expects Boston to crush us: we sweep now what happens when we're favored? we lose game 1 we ALWAYS do well when were the underdog. now, with a game one loss, we're the underdog yet again. so we're bound to win this thing baby! That is one ugly avatar. It looks like a chia pet Crede.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) I love it! I even made a post last night about this subject on my blog. I was upset about people talking about a curse. White Sox fans don't believe in such crap and I said in my closing sentance, "Shoeless Joe is in the stands with us cheering on the pale house." It is about Shoeless Joe's team won a championship, since Babe Ruth's teams have been cleaning up. After all Babe Ruth was known to have stated that Shoeless Joe influenced his play. Hence the reason for my avatar-------------------------------------------->

I like it so much, it my wall paper on my computer now

The Suntimes says John Cusack couldn't get tickets. Kudos to Mr. Reinsdorf for denying Cusack who bleeds cubbie blue.

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) How many pro athletes step up their game and completely dominate when they're sick?! I'm a little worried about Washburn tonight. He needs to throw a couple wild pitches and get down in the count, the way Clement pitched. If he's on his game, it won't be good! Before the series started, I told a friend of mine I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 3 in a row.. after winning 8 in a row.. and then after losing 3 in a row, we'll go on another 8 game winning streak, enough to win the World Series! That's typically how things have been going in 2005. We need to get all Chicagoans with a cold to sit behind the Angels dugout. Anything to help. Even if in means putting Ex Lax in the Angels room service.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) FYI, the Trib is reporting Barak Obama will throw out the first pitch tonight. I haven't seen anything about the anthem singer. The Barak says lay the smacketh down on the Angles.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) you are correct in my opinion. but i would say that Arod sucks big cahunas and the yankee fans probably would love to trade crede for him. he dont do jack for them in 2 years man...........he doesnt even swing. at least crede will take a rip. Hawk would never endorse that trade. He would take Crede over Arod any day.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) He pitched a helluva game tonight Lets regroup an get them tomorrow I'll tip my hat, but I'd sooner see him hit by a bus.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) will someone please forward this thread to dumbass fox so that they can start a controversy over whether or not the RALLY CREDE IS A STUPID SUPERSITION OR EVEN IF SUPERSTITIONS ARE STUPID. AND THEN THEY CAN FREAKIN ASK OZZIE THAT QUESTION. I WOULD DIE TO SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE. last note from me. i couldnt listen to postgame show. but i know that OZZIE is deflecting all the negatives of the team on himself. i really WORSHIP him for that. he really has the clubhouse in order. hopefully MB will come out smoking tomorrow. seriously lets hope for 15k in attendance. less corporate wives and more REAL f***IN WHITESOX FANS PLEASE LIKE SOUTHSIDEIRISH & THE BULL & THE REESSTTT OF US IDIOTS HERE! Its just a stupid game. BTW i drove a hall of fame RB mistress in the limo yesterday. she had to leave the hotel before the wife flew into town. these athletes all suck big balloons anyway. I think I woke my wife laughing at this one.

Love the new Avatar Buehrle>Wood.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:49 PM) Excellent points. This one I think shows again how flat we were. I almost wish we were playing the "powerful" Yankees so we could maybe have kept our stinger for Game One. We didn't execute and your excellent points point to one thing - being flat! Would we have been flat for the powerful Yanks? Perhaps with so many days off. But maybe not against the evil empire. I wonder if there is a let down in not playing the Yanks?

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) on that we can agree my friend. Indeed ... just keep you know who away...

It is not that they are so much better as ours flaws are magnified by their successes. And boy did we stink tonight.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) even the best teams lose sometimes Nobody sweeps through the playoffs. Take it one game at a time.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) I'm not looking in hindsight, just trying to fathom how a team can look so good one day and so poor the next day. I think the team might not be as good as they think they are sometimes

Washburn -- Fresh from the MASH unit, into the starting rotation

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) Jack McDowell said that our hitters needed to stop swinging for the fences on fastballs. Quote of the night. Everybody else sees it, why not our own hitters.

This must be the pessimist post. More my pace. We blew goats today, get them tomorrow.

I think one of things we all have to realize is that it is unrealistic to expect to think we would sweep through the playoffs. Subconsciously, I think some of us did. I kind of expected a let down tonight, playing down to a team we expect to be tired and beatable. Remember, we are in for a dog fight. More so, remember last year's red sox.

He needs to get hot quick.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) this is very true. let it all rest. if it works it works. the bull was just lettin you guys have it because you were in the way of this teams disastrous give away. JC was & has been are only real warrior down the stretch. Without him we wouldn't have even came close to the playoffs. this is the script that we all wanted to avoid. all the freakin whatifs. I agree I will drop it.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) the dude's kinda tickin me off tonight. normally he's a good poster and i like what he's got to say... but tonights bizarre Sorry I ticked you off. But I deal in reason. Joe Crede's face on a monkey's body does not = sox win. People obsessing over it is ridiculous.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) you remember posting this one? I do, you remember my point. Superstitions are stupid.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) What is your problem? Consensus seems to be that Crede is the goat of Game 1 and the playoffs so far. That is my problem.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) right, crede did badly tonight, he and podsednik are mostly responsible for the loss. very true. but to say that the people that created it arent hardcore and to say that they 'worship false idols like the golden calf' is just retarded itself. All I am saying is superstitions are ridiculous. Breath dude!
