Funny story.. I was listening to the KC/Tribe game on XM while watching the Sox.. when Sizemore lost the ball and Berroa rounded third and scored I stood up screaming "Berroa scores, Berroa scores, KC wins!!!" Not realizing how loud I was because I had the ear buds in our entire section erupted in cheers. It was hysterical.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:21 AM) Beat me to 32 : Happy Birthday Kiddo, and here is to what you really want for your birthday... 11 more wins starting October 4th You got that right!! We got the party hats and rally socks all ready to go!!! BTW, got Angie's message last night, thank you both very much.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) Will anyone from here be at the game today? I'll be there.. Let's wrap up this season at home with a winner guys!!!

Hey.. thank you everyone!!! Started off the celebration right yesterday with all the family together for one last day at the pool and tons of fun, drinking, and gifts Hopefully it carries over today at the park with great friends, heavy drinking, and a White Sox winner to cap off an incredible year at the Cell.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) So, not sure why, but today my response to my friends pretty much independent of the situation has been, "Boo, you whore!" No clue where I got this from or why I'm always saying it. LMAO.. I don't quite know why but that brought me to hysterical tears.

By the way.. Augusta allows females now.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Thats also why its funny some new posters come on here and call some of us "fair weather fans" and such...We all come back, despite what some of us say. Irrational at times, of course we are...but fair weather? Thats just funny... Jim would LOVE it if I were a fairweather... he blames the Sox for not driving around in a new Vette right now... poor thing has to be seen in that nasty '04

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Steff....so I take it you're fed up with Ozzie? I blame them all... yet I can't stop going or watching. A friend last night told me I would be crazy to write the Sox a check next year if this all ends up in the crapper... I thought about it for a good 45 minutes.. I'll be writing that check.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Just isn't good enough is right. That is why Williams is at fault here. No team has ever had its foot on the accelorator for 162 games. Ahh yes.. because Kenny makes the lineup and f***s with the pitching staff. Rich.. Oprah rich.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Well, maybe if there was any sense of urgency 2 months ago, it would have never got to this point. I know a lot of us used the phrase "taking their foot off of the accelerator". This Sox team isn't good enough to just have no focus and win games. The offensive fire power isn't strong enough. Ding, ding, ding, ding... we have a winner.

..... golf clap .....

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) If you're suggesting the players "peed themselves," then it becomes the responsibility of the general manager to correct noticeable faults with his club. Is it not? Foremost, Williams must remove the bed wetting choke artists from this team. Guillen may have been instrumental in constructing this "smartlball" team, but it's obvious the only legitimate points of the philosophy are pitching/defense. It's now Williams duty to ignore Guillen and upgrade this team's offense. But you know what's great about our situation now? We're probably going to have to trade several arms, possibly Contreras, hopefully Marte (with diminished value and all), for another bat. Prospects will be delt, we'll likely be swindled, and knowing our luck, the pitching will be mediocre and the offense will rebound. Then in 2007 we'll be looking for pitching--which is true with several contracts coming to an end. Our minor league system better start turning talent over fairly quickly. I EXPECT one contributing player a year. Our payroll isn't high enough to just ignore a farm system. Flash, I agree with you on all counts except KW's responsibility. Ozzie needs to be held (more) accountable for not passing along the info about the diaper wearing cads.. and I don't think he did. I honestly think he never thought Cleveland would catch them, all the while knowing big issues were arising in his clubhouse and did nothing to stop them.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) It's not the job of a GM to get the manager the players the manager wants. Yea it is, and that's how this team was built.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) Like anything you get at McDonalds is good for your health :rolly By my account she won money for being dumb three times: 1. Eating at McDonalds 2. Placing coffee between her legs and spilling it all over herself. 3. Wearing Sweatpants Hmm...you would figure if I can keep up at my current rate of stupidity I should be a millionaire in no time.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) Like I said... "I totally missed that"

QUOTE(IlliniBob72 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Sounds like they kept it too hot and they knew it was too hot. Coffee shouldn't be lava hot. Yes. Shame on those McDonalds bastards... But I don't agree with rewarding her for being an idiot.

QUOTE According to the report, the teen's mother has been in the lesbian relationship for 22 years, but that the school only learned of the relationship this week when the student was reprimanded for talking to the crowd during a football game Wow.. I totally missed that. So the girl was enrolled in the school.. but kicked out. How nice.. :headshake

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) I don't want to get into the whole McDonald's case here, so I hope no one else will reply to this, but in my opinion, using that as a metaphor for a judicial system out of control simply shows a complete misunderstanding of the facts of that case. Apparently you do, and again.. apparently you do since you posted it. I'm well aware of the case, but the only facts I need to know is she won a lot of $$ for getting burned with hot coffee because SHE removed the lid in the car and it spilled on her. Is there anyone here who doesn't know that coffee is hot...?? Hello...?? Someone...? Anyone...?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) For whatever reason in the courts eyes, it is much more beneficial to be stupid, than racist. That is just MHO. You got me there.. Kneejerk response.. I'm a girl.. I have no defense. :rolly

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Just remember, when he makes that comparison, he's not saying that the comparison holds on moral grounds. He's saying it holds on legal grounds. Morally...would most people, even Christians, say its wrong to punish children for the actions of their parents? I'd say a huge majority would agree - I don't think we're Klingons here. But the law in this matter seems settled by the precedent of the case involving the Boy Scouts. As a private organization, the Church can make whatever rules it wants, and can discriminate against whoever it wants. That's built into the right of assembly and the free excercise clause in the constitution. IMO, based on the moral grounds it would be given more weight then a case over a CC membership. That's why I see no comparison. I understand the "legal" course... but in a country where you can become a millionare for spilling coffee on yourself... I would test the waters with a case like this. As for the Klingons... watch out.. I'm pretty sure there ARE a few here.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) When you choose to send your child to a religious school, like it or not, your 'personal lives' are indeed a part of you're educational life. Usually you're not accepted till they do a background interview, etc... Uhh.. thank you capt'n obvious. I'm well aware.. it still makes me sick.

Sorry Mike.. but a CC Membership or entrance to the Boy Scouts, IMO, doesn't even come close to being a justifiable comparison.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) I agree with you both. But I don't think "legally" matters. A sympathetic jury is all they need... I would like to see them sue. I would like to see this s*** tested. It makes me sick that children are denied an education based on what happens in their personal lives.

How is it the GM's fault the players peed themselves..? Ozzie asked for, and got, what he wanted from the GM and owners and it worked for 3 months. It's now the GM's fault Ozzie mismanaged (according to many) and the players suck (according to many)? I'm going.. and I'll be in the Q&A.. but if we don't make the playoffs, or get swept from them.. it's not Kenny I'll be yelling at in January.
