QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) STeff check your PM I did. And responded. Lower premium is not sold out.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) AS season progresses, more seats pop up, as plans get prorated. Which wouldn't be the case if they were "sold out". Between the bases is not "sold out".

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) I really hope all of this is true. It's not. Row 29 to 35 behind us were mostly TM and day of game upgrades. I would guess the further down the line, the more open seats. 3 friends bought mid season and got in 122 rows 24 and up. It's getting more full.. but it's definitely not sold out between the bases. Good sign regardless.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) So did I. I was so happy after I heard you got yours and now I'm just blah. This sucks but o well. The only thing I'm pissed off about is the people who went and signed up for tickets at the park on Tuesday morning and got their WS tix right there. I don't know how true that is. Brooks was sure to state yesterday that it was first come first serve and that those at the park were picking up approved orders.. not making new ones.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) I ordered at 8:40-8:50 monday night and still have nothing. Steff you still think there's a chance? I dunno. I was keeping up with ranger via pm as to the guy in my office who got his and what I was getting from my rep. They both got them as he stated so unless the Sox issue a release saying that if you didn't get the call yet you are out.. I'd still hold some hope.

QUOTE(IspepAloc @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) yah Keep your fingers crossed and

QUOTE(IspepAloc @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) Question, Has anyone who ordered tickets on Tuesday gotten a callback? Did you order before the cutoff?

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) Dude, you won the Gold, Steff gets the Silver, and I'll settle for the Bronze. Screw that.. he gets whatever is higer than gold x10. It's got to take a lot to work with such a shriveled pair.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) I would say that the arguement that ensued was about 90% of that You're welcome.

It was at just over 11K this season.. the Sox didn't have 8K in WS tickets to give away, so 19K I doubt. Maybe back up to 15K. Baby steps.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) I bet 90% of the questions on this board can be answered by a yes or no. Or not being a lazy ass and doing an internet search on ones own..

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) It's most likely due to the fact that most of the questions on here are completely f***ing retarded. Are the pitchers going to take some swings in the batting cage? Does this question even deserve a response? Show some effing courtesy would ya..

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) This is the second time in two days you have referred to me, and other people, as stupid. In any case, I don't think it's necessary to insult people because the subject matter doesn't meet your particular standards. Show some common courtesy. Please don't do that. Not stupid people.. stupid questions. Big difference. Are you new around here...? I don't show anyone courtesy. I'm the board b****. Have a nice day.

Celebrating on the UC floor wil be a unique story to tell when the Sox win it in 5..

Nice effort though.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Anyeone else shaking their heads at why Steff seems so offended by people's questions lately? I think this is a good one - our pitchers have to hit, it's new to them. This is a good subject. If you find it "effed up", ignore it. I'm not offended. I just thing it's common sense that since our pitchers will have to hit, they are practicing hitting. But by all means.. carry on with the grand stupidity.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 11:11 AM) Told ya.

LDF.. several posters over at WSI, Whitesoxwilkes specifically, have been on several local sports talk shows here in the past 2 years for debates. They would likely have tons of resource material for you. Might want to give them a holler. Wilkes specifically was on CLTV debating the Cubs/Sox series 2 years in a row.

Cotts can hit, not that he'll get much of a chance to - hopefully. Mark is OK, Jon is a whiffer. Garcia can not hit to save his life. Not sure about Jose. Anyone else just shaking their heads as some of the effed up questions being posted the past few days..?

Evacuations Begin As Wilma Nears Florida By DAVID ROYSE, Associated Press Writer 34 minutes ago KEY WEST, Fla. - Emergency officials issued the first evacuation orders for the Florida mainland on Friday in advance of slow-moving but powerful Hurricane Wilma, and Keys residents were also asked to start leaving. The mandatory order, effective at noon, covered part of the Gulf Coast town of Naples and the nearby snowbird enclave of Marco Island. It was not immediately clear how many residents were affected, but many were already complying, county emergency management spokeswoman Jaime Sarbaugh said. "Your life is much more important than your things," she said. Monroe County officials encouraged island residents "to voluntarily evacuate because of the potential of overcrowded highways." A mandatory evacuation will be announced after it's clearer when Wilma's weather will reach the low-lying chain. The order came two days after tourists were directed to leave the Keys. Most did, but some residents of the island chain didn't seem in a hurry to leave Friday, even as the storm closed in on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Florida's agonizing wait for Wilma would continue as the hurricane was expected to hover around Yucatan longer than previously thought. Landfall somewhere on Florida's western coast was not likely until sometime Monday afternoon, forecasters said. In Key West, Mark Brann was relaxing Thursday outside Andy's Scooter Shop, where he works. He had little to do without the island town's usual horde of tourists. "Where are you going to go? They don't know where the storm's going," he said. He said he believes he will be safe in his seventh-floor condominium. The slower forward pace could mean that the storm will be weaker when it reaches Florida. "If it spends 24 hours or more over (the Yucatan), it's likely to weaken," said Ed Rappaport, the center's deputy director. At 11 a.m. EDT Friday, Wilma's wind was clocked at 145 mph, down slightly from 150 earlier in the day. The storm's outer eyewall made landfall at Cozumel, Mexico, about that time. Authorities took advantage of the unexpected extra day to stockpile emergency supplies. Gov. Jeb Bush declared a state of emergency Thursday. He said the state had food, water, ice and other supplies ready and disaster-response teams that included up to 7,500 National Guard members standing by. "We are battle-tested, well-resourced, well-trained," he said. Max Mayfield, director of the hurricane center, said the slowdown would likely weaken Wilma from a Category 4 storm to a Category 3 or less before making landfall in the United States. "The timing is certainly working in our favor," Mayfield said. But he stressed that Wilma probably would still be a strong hurricane with a powerful storm surge when it reaches Florida. At 11 a.m. EDT, Wilma was about 425 miles southwest of Key West, according to the hurricane center. It was heading northwest at about 5 mph. After its strike on Yucatan, Wilma was expected to make a turn to the northeast toward Florida because it will be pushed by the westerlies, the strong wind current that generally blows toward the east, forecasters said. Mayfield said Wilma is unusually large, with an eye 38 miles wide and tropical storm-force winds extending out some 200 miles from the center that could cause widespread damage. "Don't just focus on the eye of the hurricane," Mayfield said. State meteorologist Ben Nelson warned that Wilma could produce a storm surge of 12 to 17 feet. Although Wilma was expected to approach Florida from the west, forecasters warned that major cities on the peninsula's Atlantic Coast, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach could be hit by strong wind and heavy rain. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was positioning emergency materials in Jacksonville, Lakeland and Homestead. FEMA acting chief R. David Paulison said the agency has 150 truckloads of ice and 150 truckloads of water, and the Red Cross has 200,000 meals available. "We are ready for the storm, as much as you can be," Paulison said in Washington. The governor urged people not to hoard gasoline, which frequently causes long lines at gas stations and some to run out of fuel. Bush said an estimated 200 million gallons of fuel were available at Florida ports, an adequate supply. Wilma was on a path that could threaten southwestern Florida areas hit by Hurricane Charley in August 2004. Some houses and businesses in the area are still boarded up because of that storm. ___ On the Net: National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051021/ap_on_...DltBHNlYwM3MTY- Boy Critical After Mich. School Shooting By DAVID EGGERT, Associated Press Writer 59 minutes ago SAGINAW, Mich. - Security guards used a metal detector to search Saginaw High School students Friday morning, a day after a sophomore was shot in the chest, allegedly by another boy who had been in a juvenile detention center with him. The victim remained in critical condition Friday, but surgeons determined that the bullet didn't hit any organs, police said. "Nothing vital was struck. Hopefully he's going to be all right," police Sgt. Mark Lively said. Students were asked to report a half-hour early on Friday to avoid lines at the main entrance, where a metal detector was installed Thursday afternoon. The school has grappled with several violent incidents in the past year. The suspect was caught by a security officer in a nearby yard, and a handgun he allegedly threw away while running was found, school district spokesman Michael Manley said. The boys, both 15, enrolled at Saginaw High just weeks ago after being released from the same juvenile detention center and knew each other, authorities said. "I didn't know what to think of it," said ninth-grader Lashunta Cole, 14, who was in math class when the shooting happened one floor above her. "It was crazy." Since last December, shots were fired in the high school parking lot, a 17-year-old attempted to slash another student's throat in the hall, two teens attacked a police officer in the parking lot after a basketball game, and a drive-by shooter opened fire as hundreds of students were leaving the homecoming dance, injuring two. Manley, a 33-year veteran of the school district, said disputes that begin on the streets, are carrying over into the schools. "That's what makes this so difficult to get a handle on," he said. "There's so much violence in this community." The metal detector will be permanent at the school, which also is considering other security measures, Manley said. "This is a whole different level," he said. "This was the last straw." Attendance appeared to be normal and no weapons were found Friday, he said.
