QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) At least were playing on the road. Boy, ain't that the truth. If that's not a testament of just how s***ty we've been at home, then I don't know what is.

"I've always wanted to play here." That's the biggest pile of crap statement all these guys make. Bret Boone said the same s*** when Minnesota signed him. If Tampa Bay, Minnesota, or even Ottawa signed him he probably would have said the same thing.

The Nokia tune. I know, I'm such a rebel.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) I'll start: Wanna stump Harry Schwab? Ask him what a woman's breast feels like You're almost as crazy as I am!

At least you guys are being nicer about this over here than at WSI. They are ripping this poor guy a new asshole over there!

I use checks still, not to pay for groceries though. I pay my monthly credit card bill and other bills via check. I suppose I could set up that automatic withdrawal stuff but I just don't like the idea of people being able to go in anytime they want and take money out of my account. I like the idea that I still have to give them the money (they're still at MY mercy!) hahaha!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:08 AM) I laugh out loud each and every time I see this Importer/Exporter post. Hats off to one of the best Soxtalk handles of all time. Ah, you flatter me....

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) It was mentioned on WSI and the "official" board and I surfed over for a peak. Never went back to the official site after that. WSI. I'm a member over there too but so far people here seem a little more laid back. I like that!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 05:30 AM) Agree. And he should be gone after for perjury also, IMO. Totally agree. I don't know why we have this thing called perjury if it's never going to be enforced when it should.

Speaking of discounts, does anyone know the code for Friday's game? It is supposed to be UIC Alumni night (of which I am one) and I had already planned on getting tickets (if there are any left?) but a discount would be even better.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) And you want to be MY Latex salesman?!? :headshake

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You disappointed me. When I saw the thread title, I thought Nancy Kerrigan posted here.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) So you guys must be brothers? Of course...he's Duke Vandelay!

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) Im suprised at you guys... Shoeless Joe Jackson supposedly threw a WS.. banned from baseball Pete Rose gambled on games as a manager.. banned from baseball Rafeal Palmeiro TESTED POSITIVELY for Steroids.. 10 game suspension. Excuse me? But Palemiero deserves to live his life the same way Shoeless Joe and Pete rose did. In agony. Knowing he will never be where he always wants to. f*** Palmiero. f*** the Cheaters. What he said! Are you sure we don't have the same mother?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) You are my favorite poster ever. Avy, handle, Cub hater....... And I just got here!

I'm sure it has something to do with this: "These fans, some of the fans out in the bleachers, once they have had a few drinks, they may be some of the dumbest fans here," said Buehrle with a smile. "They like taunting me, and I'm going to turn around and mess with them. "It seems like they can dish it out, but can't take it. Once I go back and say something to them, it seems like they get their hearts broken." Well hey Cubbie fans, you can't blame the man for being observant!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) After that post, welcome to Soxtalk!!!!!! Thanks, buddy! Glad to be here!

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) Now some of us have known this for years. Pretty funny how their own team admits their fans SUCK. And it's time everyone else learned that QUANTITY does not equate with QUALITY.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 06:52 PM) In today's Trib or Times, I forget which, they talked about last week's game when Jenks was walking back to the dugout and Sweeney crossed in front of him. You could see that Sweeney said something to Jenks. The paper today quoted Jenks as saying that Sweeney told him words to this effect: keep throwing hard, kid, you have great stuff, and a big future. Jenks said it meant a lot to him, and he'll remember that when things don't always go his way. As I recall Hawk and DJ were guessing at that time that Sweeney was giving Jenks encouragement. Makes Sweeney a real class act. That's great to know. I've always heard good things about Sweeney. (Now if we could just learn to pitch around him!)

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) ...and you wanna be my latex salesman. 15 games in first. This makes me happy. Hell yeah!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) f***ing awesome handle! Welcome to Soxtalk!!!!!!!! Thanks for the welcome, buddy....as far as the handle, I knew someone would pick up on it!

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) Great Game... Here's to you Mark!!!! Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope you don't mind welcoming yet another newbie! Congrats to the Sox on the great sweep. Now I think I will check and see if there are still any tickets left for this Friday's game!
