QUOTE(Johnny @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 07:36 AM) just amazing lets see if we can break more records tonight. The only one I care about seeing is being the first MLB team to win TWO World Series games in the same day!!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Dolgin kick his ass I hope? LMAO!!! My thoughts as well.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) Steff -- did you hear, a couple nights ago, when Dolgin and Levine got into it on air? That was -- akward, to say the least. I didn't, but I got 50 or so emails about it. Bruce is a tool. Bryan said it wasn't a big deal though.

Thanks knight.. they have Jason Smith on and I thought they would have Dolgin on. Oh well. I'm sure the calls tonight are priceless.

Anyone got the link for the internet feed handy?

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 05:16 PM) I don't disagree...but I wish they could just say, "Here's our rule...it's open when it's below X degrees out and not raining. No exceptions." There shouldn't be any ad hoc efforts. One rule for the season and post-season, and put it in the official rule book for everyone to see. There is an official rule... MLB controls the playoffs and all aspects of it. Like I said before.. this is about $$. The blimp paid a rumored $4 million $$'s to show the above shots. MLB isn't about to give that $$ back - not to mention the teams since that $$ goes into the pool to be split with the players. If the Stros want the roof closed so badly cough up the cash and they can close their roof.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) I almost wish they would close the roof, so Fox and ESPN won't b**** about it. ESPN would put an asterisk on this WS, if we did win it all. 2005 World Champion White Sox* *Roof was open for the games in Minute Maid Park As long as it says that ^^^

QUOTE(Coasterbill @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 05:13 PM) The Astros should have control over thier roof. It's thier stadium. Catch 22. It's MLB's game. And... is it the Astro's...? Or is it Minute Maid's... ?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) Um, how about you just don't his anyone? Isn't that a better rule? Common sense Soxy.... you know that s*** doesn't have any place here.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I think we'd manage just fine if we could get rid of Duque's 5 million, and use it to give more money to PK. It's got nothing to do with having the $$.. but everything to do with not over paying. Paul is not worth $15 million a year to owners with a half a brain.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) Why on earth would they want the WHITE SOX to win? Seriously? I mean we're all prejudiced. But why would MLB want them to win? Jerry's got something on Bud...

QUOTE(J-MAN @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Yep it is!!!!! But I hate to think there is some damn Cub fan getting Sox season tickets and I'm not!!! Fear not. He wont go to any but the Cub/Sox games. He'll pass the rest off to me or the other Sox fans in the building to get rid of.

I'm sure that's not it. I'm guessing they got in as one of the last to get the WS ticket offer and that's the only reason they got processed.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) You should give Paulie some advice Steff: You're gonna have to learn your clichés. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: We gotta play it one day at a time. And my fave: Don't think, it can only hurt the ball club. LMAO.. If I had a dime for every time I have used that line

QUOTE(J-MAN @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I placed an order last Monday hoping to get WS tickets! Finally received a call from one of the ticket agents last night saying the are not processing any ticket orders until Nov. 1!!!!! They must just not like you. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This did supposedly happen 18 years ago.. just before her career really took off.

Solomon just announced it will be open.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) After all, Paulie could have spoken his heart: "I'm really hoping those D'Backs make me an offer I can't refuse so I can be reunited with Royce Clayton." LMAO.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) I should add, he's their best pitcher and this is going to be a very tough game. . Keep the phone handy.. Check your PM's also, slacker.

12-2 at home.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) The story is pathetic. It may have been told tongue in cheek by the family, but that article basically says this woman died because the Sox are going to the world series. I dont remember any tripe like that coming out in 2003 in the reverse direction. Sure the media is pathetic to paint it that way, if the family didnt intend it to sound the way it does. But still, this is a story that didnt need to be told to anyone for any reason. Im sure there were plenty of elderly cubs fans who have passed away in the past 2 weeks, and none of their families went to the papers with it. Like I said. The media printed the story with slant.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) I think it was mentioned before that MLB made the choice in a previous WS? If so, no reason to change that now. And has it been decided whether it will be open or closed? If you ask MLB, yes. The Astros, no. During the regular season, the Astros pick their environment. But during the postseason, the commissioner's office makes that call. Jimmie Lee Solomon, executive vice president of baseball operations in the commissioner's office, was to decide Tuesday, when the forecast called for clear skies with a temperature in the low 60s. "If it's a nice day and no chance of precipitation and it's not overly hot and humid, yeah, we'll open the roof," Solomon said from his office in New York. That didn't sit well with the Astros.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) Someone asked him the question and he answered it. It's not about finishing the job. That's like someone asking you in the middle of a huuuuge project, so, if Company X came and offered you 3x your salary, would you take it? Of course you would...you wouldn't say, nope, gotta finish this project first. Would you? I know what you are saying, but it's not as though Paulie was saying...I would LOVE to play for the Red Sox next year. Just, I'm gonna listen to what they have to say. Been there, said that. Not that they are comparable in even the slightest way.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) I think I prefer that response than an outright lie. Wouldn't it be worse if he said something like "I want to be a White Sox forever and I never want to leave this city, love the organization and fans, will do everything I can to stay, etc..." and then he bolts? Agree. Though I would have preferred something witty like.. "hey Dan.. did ya hear we're in the World Series up 2 games to none...??"

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) No, the family. There's no obligation to go on TV news. They chose to tell it that way. The family told it with smiles on their faces. The print media is making it sound like they are blaming the Sox. Didn't say anything about doing the interview, which I agree is stupid.. I was specific about how the story is being told.
