QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) Hey Jim, get off of Quickman's Tandy! I don't even want to know what that is or how you know that nickname.

Just got off the phone with my rep.. had to get various tickets for 23 upcomming games.. 11 of the 23 I was only able to get uppers for. Granted, the Yanks and Boston were in the request, (and I was not able to get a set to Saturday Yanks at all), but it's pretty obvious the casuals are coming out. Puurrttyy cool.

It's still AT&T service.. until they completely merge anyway.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Didn't you just get a phone a few months ago?? Geeez... It does look pretty cool, darn new-fangled gadgets. Not me.. Jim got the Razor. He loves it. I don't. I've had the Motorola V600 for a couple years (since it came out whenever that was). I want something that was easier to use the net and text on since it seems I am always texting or on the net when I'm not at work or home. This one takes movies which I think is just the coolest thing.. I'm a phone nerd.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:25 AM) Heck I was there for a wedding about six months ago. It is a relatively nice place, your average banquet hall... And your right Steff, I hope I didnt imply that Alsip is a rough neighborhood. Not at all... No, no, I don't think you did. Just something I felt like saying.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) You don't want to know... trust me, you really don't. Considering the time before that when they were with us the Missus was making me Cosmo's and I don't remember the entire second half of the Superbowl... I can only imagine..

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Wow...that is way too close for my comfort... What a sad story Just because it happened there is not an indicator of Alsip, IMO. Heck.. we had wacko's from Michigan City at our wedding.. who knows what might have happened if they got a bit more alcohol in them..

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) http://abclocal.go.com/wls/news/071505_ns_...g_shooting.html 5 minutes from my house. We used to live 5 minutes from 127th & Pulaski.. What a shame this happened. :headshake

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) I want one of those phones where you can watch tv on them. That would be cool... hehe Supposedly this one does that via the internet. I could watch mlb.com feeds on my Motorola. This I would imagine is the same. Just have to figure out how.. This phone is much different (button function wise) from the Motorola's.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) You got Cingular, cool! Now you can call me for free EVERY DAY!!!!! Technically I think it's still AT&T.. but I think the phone to phone calls count like we're both Cingular. This phone was too damn cool to pass up.

http://onlinestorez.cingular.com/cell-phon...id=cdsku9870029 I got a new phone this morning.. it's gonna take me 6 months to figure out how to use it..

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) Ok, so from I-57, switch to I-80 and get off at Harlem. How long after being on I-57 does the switch to I-80 come? Is it I-80 east or west, or is there only one? Hmm.. didn't I suggest that..? IIRC, just after the 159th toll you merge right to 80. Go towards Iowa (which is west but I don't remember if it says that). Just stay to the right and you'll be fine. Have fun.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 09:26 AM) I dont think your going to need four hours...there is no construction on I-80 where he will get on from 57. It honestly shouldnt take you more than an hour and a half. And yes I'm in Tinley Park all the time. At 57 and 80 are they not still re-doing the middle barriers..? It's going to take an hour just to get to the Dan Ryan and 57 from the north side. Then the merging traffic onto 57 from the Dan Ryan is at least another 40 minutes of 20 mph traffic. Once he's on 80 it's a breeze.. I don't travel this way. Got the info from a co-worker that lives off of 183rd blocks from Tweeter and his wife works at the Mart so she travels this way every day.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) Someone here said to just stay on I-57 and to exit on Vollmer road west. Is that a bad idea? Depends on the flow of traffic. That's the "secret" way everyone knows about. It's a crap shoot. Going 57 to 80 to Harlem is the easiest way and the least complicated for someone not from that area. Who are you seeing anyway?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) Holy Crap, 4 hours!!! Yea. But if you want to take the "back" way good luck. My co-worker who lives out there says that already this morning most of the back roads off of 159th and 167th were blocked.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) Anyone remember where the Sox were heading to if DeBartolo bought the team? A swim with the fishes..

I-80 towards Iowa and follow the signs and traffic. You can get off at Harlem or LaGrange but you woun't really know until you get there and see the traffic. Friday traffic, and construction on both the Ryan and 80.... leave by 3.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) Then I could be working 24/7 on the clean up. Then you could afford to take a vacation in October up north for some playoff baseball.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) What sucks is I own a pressure wash business :rolly Mother Nature is giving you a little vacation.

If it hits you guys we'll get more of the rain than Dennis sent us. Board up.. stay safe.

I'm an All Star.. some days I open a second bag.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Blame him for the Balck Sox scandel while you are at it. LMAO!!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) Man, you're so pissed off! It must be hard to sit through all the games you must go to. I assume you're complaining about payroll because you hold season tickets and have for a long time. Because, I mean, complaining about payroll and not buying a substantial amount of tickets would just be silly! Oh my God.. Thank you Soxy!! Last week I'm listening to MJH on the way home and some idiot calls in "I'm the biggest Sox fan ever.. but..." and starts complaining about Jerry. Jerry this, Jerry that, bla, bla, bla.. yadda, yadda, yadda... I swear Jerry kicked the guys dog or something.. Harry askes.. "hey dude.. what's the Sox record today...?" . . . Not a word came out of this assholes mouth other than "I don't care.. Jerry ruined baseball for me, strike, WF trade, etc, etc... " Dudes.. if you are a fan of the Sox and all you can do today, right now.. as the Sox are in first place, 10 games ahead, with 75 left to play.. is complain about what the chairman did 7, 11, or 15 years ago... you need help.

If you guys effed as much as you b****ed and moaned you'd be able to enjoy this season and stop whining..

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Not coming. Hmm.. TMI.. And sorry.
