A lot of folks got shafted on this. Called, didn't get tickets, called back.. "sorry.. it's full". How is it full? You know how many invites you sent out.. didn't you realize you sent out too many..?? The included ST holders, those who participated in Dog Day, and those who booked suites and patio parties. Several folks we know got more than 1 set of invites as well.

Here's the fake one. http://cbs2chicago.com/local/local_story_206121744.html (CBS) HAMMOND, Ind. Indiana State Police are discounting a sniper report made Tuesday by a Hammond man. Police say they have no evidence to support his claim and they say the man may have filed a false police report. He is NOT in custody.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) Isn't there still a copycat in the Hammond area of 65 still out there? (Just getting back from vacation so I do not know if what I heard was up to date.) I think that was a fake. A guy said he was shot at, but there was no evidence that he was. I believe he is also in custody for reporting a false crime.

This is a call between Ken and a 911 operator the day of 911. It's not graphic visually... but his words, which end as Tower 2 begins to fall, are compelling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SbssOdruPQ...amp;t=t&f=b

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) It's not about the players, it's about sticking up for your team. Padilla has hit our players, what 3 or 4 times this year...and the team hasn't backed it's OWN players. There used to be a time when, if Team A plunked a player and Team B thought it was personal, Team B would plunk a player on Team A. Not only that, but if a member of Team A showed up Team B's pitcher by watching a home run a bit too long or jabbering around the bases, that pitcher would throw behind that batter or hit him the next time up. Ozzie is an old-school ballplayer AND is incredibly emotional. He was like this when he was a player, we just didn't hear about it, except when he called out Big Frank. Ozzie wants to win, but more than that, he wants his players to play hard, play smart and play tough. This is why CLee is gone...you don't slide hard into 2nd to break up a double play...he gawn. As long as he thinks the players are trying their best, he will trust and believe in them. What does sticking up for your team have to do with Ozzie yelling at Garland in front of God and everyone?

Why are you asking me? If it does, move it. My bad.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sside27.html Someone said there was a rift between Garland and Ozzie? Sidenote, I love these posters who kiss Ozzie's arse one day, rip it to shreads the next, then just as the wind changes directions.. praise him again. Priceless.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 09:48 AM) Honestly, what are we supposed to talk about during this post ASB slump? Messages of doubt are repetitive because this team is losing.........repeatively. We all can't hold Jphat's view of the baseball world. CC's post may have actually made sense if it were directed towards a post where the entire season were in doubt. Instead, a statement was made of an apparent collapse (which, considering how far we've fallen lately, can't be dismissed) and a question of why we should be optimistic of our playoff chances. And your last sentence doesn't apply to this thread. Original poster wrote his opinion and asked for ours. Honestly, it's not even practical. How would legitimate discussions arise? People can't avoid issues they oppose that easily. Even on an internet message board. If someone titles their thread, "THIS TEAM IS DONE," and it's obviously negative in tone, are those who disagree with their assessment not allowed in? That's the way it was seem from your little rule. If I would have to stay out of a positive thread as not to ruin for those hopeful, shouldn't you (among others) have to stay out of negative threads? Don't want to ruin the negativity for those who don't believe a comeback is possible, right? You should know it doesn't work like that. There's a reason you've told people 5,533,234,322,000 times. Harry has (guestimating) 58 posts in the past 2 days saying the same thing. I do believe that's why CC said what he did to him. I said something similar about him "going away" in a separate thread. Legit conversation is all over this site. Intelligent debate about the troubles. "This team sucks ass and if we don't win the next series we are done...." is not intelligent conversation. Of course anyone is allowed anywhere and to post whatever they choose. However, if the intent is to come into a thread to spiff on others being optimestic - which IMO is instigating trouble - don't be surprised when you get told to shut up. I don't make the dumb ass mistake of going into threads I don't agree with to spiff on others.... food for thought. 5,533,234,323 times now....

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 08:01 AM) Disagree totally. These conspiracy theories are worse than high school stuff. And really stupid if they ever saw Freddy try to golf..

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 08:17 AM) This post is something I'd expect from one of the many lonely, middle-aged admins/moderators on WSI to suggest. GMAFB. The repetition gets old, and it's setting people off because we are losing. Maybe you need to be told 5,861 times the same thing to get it, but most here don't, and that's all CC was saying. If you see a positive thread, and you are not positive, STAY OUT OF IT as not to ruin it for those that do remain hopeful. Not so hard. For most...

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) we're going to be overtaken by toronto pretty soon. it's over. When we are, will you go away?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 08:06 AM) Only 42? I was not about to go over the entire member list...

QUOTE(wallyburger @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 07:12 AM) With the Sox tanking, his articles would be interesting, if nothing else. What's to miss..? We have 42 mini Jay's right here.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Everyone on the Sox should bic their heads in a show of team unity. Can I do my leggs instead?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) What exactly do you expect him to say? "We're going to trade every player, I'm going to talk to Kenny right now, that is after I talk to everyone at SoxTalk to see who we should trade. But we're keeping McCarthy and we're putting him in the rotation, even though he can throw a max of probably 50 pitches right now." He was praising the Twins and basically saying they kicked the White Sox' butts. And I'm sure he will say other things to the team that he didn't say to the post game media.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 04:09 PM) What do you mean? As you said, she's clearly insane. There's not a more justifible case of "not guilty by reason of insanity" than this. The county it was tried in loves to hand out the death penalty, too. she will be spending the rest of her life institutionalized. Which is bitter sweet. She wasn't getting the DP. There was a slight possibility she would be out free eventually had this verdict not come in.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) I'm sure glad you can look at it that way. I don't even remember last year anymore. Look at your avitar for a reminder.

Getting paid for 39 days of unused and accrued vacation time. Swwweeetttt...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 09:13 AM) Well that certianly makes things interesting. Could we be talking about a signing along with a trade then? No one will tell me. Wonder why... QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) I don't think Boras is ever going to change the way he does business, so I see no way that fence will ever be mended. They may have been discussing a contract for Crede. Either that, or maybe JR wasn't at the game Boras was in his box. Unc was there, and they were quite chummy. Joe is moot right now. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 10:05 AM) Well you aren't going to last long here. Zero tolerance out the window... :rolleyes Bit my tongue. All hail SS2k!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) The only way I can see this making sense from a White Sox perspective is if we then spin Zito to a team like New York for other pieces that will help us win now. Zito will help us now. FWIW, Boras was at 2 Boston/White Sox games. 1 in Unc's box. Perhaps they've mended the fence.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) You lose are credibility as soon as you start talking about the clubhouse. How do you know what's going on in there? Common sense is credible to me.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 05:22 AM) Don't you just love this kindof stuff? The laughter keeps me awake during a slow day.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 07:26 AM) i have found that SH1980 likes to broadbrush when he meets any sort of resistance or difference of opinion(even in jest). I poked fun at something a week ago and became part of "you and your ilk" very quickly. I do believe you assessment is correct.
