QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) Wow, you really went there with 'Maricon". LMFAO, good job Steff! I could only do it once since the boss and his son got there late (I didn't want to have to explain to my boss what it meant) but I think it was effective.. I was scared he was going to have us tossed.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Not arguing that Lee should not have listened to Uribe. Just that two wrongs do not make a right. My stance is what Uribe did is not deception, and therefore is a low brow play. Not illegal, not against the rules, just low brow. SB You mean what he did IS deception..??

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) I thought it was fair, but I had a great angle, and I thought Konerko should have had it. Derek Lee would have caught it. Uribe, for all we know might have thought is was foul. We were sitting right behind the Cubs dugout, which would normally be an awesome line.. but I had Godzilla sitting in front of me. Every way I leaned.. he leaned. By the way.. I failed to mention this but on Saturday I got the look of death from Carlos twice.. once when I asked him "what are you looking at up there...??? " and a second time when I said "does anyone know what marycon means...?" within his earshot.. I forgot who told me to say that but it was priceless. We took my boss and his 6 year old and a group of jerkoffs behind us kept screaming how the "effing umps" were giving the "effing Sox" all the "good calls". They shut the hell up when we took the lead and I offered them tissues..

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) I definitely thought it was foul, mostly because Paulie was holding the runner and still couldnt get to the ball...also liners hit directly over the bag are almost always called foul by the umpires nowadays. Maybe Juan thought it was foul also..

To be honest.. I think I initially thought that ball was foul.. anyone else..??

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) I'm not doubting you. It would make my trips there a whole lot more tolerable if I could cut them by 3 or 4 hours. I wish there was a way to bypass Nebraska all together. It lasts an eternity and it smells like cow s***. I'm not kidding, the whole friggin state smells like cow s***. They might as well just merge Iowa and Nebraska anyway. I've yet to tell the difference. (apologies in advance to all you Iowa and Nebraska lovers out there) I can't tell where the runs start from but one goes 10 hours and 51 minutes and the other 11 hours and 44 minutes. I don't remember the way we drove.. I don't remember Nebraska being that long - although this was 6 years ago and now I get ticked driving the 30+ miles to the Cell screaming it's too long some times One likey starts right at the Central Illinois Iowa border since we have a large agent there.. and another likely closer to the Northern Illinois border since a lot of shipments come from Wisconsin. Now I'm all intrigued.. I'm going to have to ask someone in Ops.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) Nope And I think that is the first personal attack that I have made in 2-3 years of posting. Although it was pretty tame. People here just twist everything to try and make their side right. They back up Uribe because he is a Sox player, eventhough I know many of them would be the first to create a thread crying if the same thing happened. No one here even addresses why they think this is not bush league or beneath the White Sox, they just say it is allowed. Sb Obviously you haven't read any of my posts on the matter then because I said no such thing.. Deal with this crap IN the clubhouse is all I said.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Hilarious comparison? I think the only dolt in the thread is you. C'mon.. that was necessary??

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) I've been going to Colorado my whole life and we've never made it under 15 hours, and thats driving straight through. As for places to go, may I suggest the Falling Rock Tap House. Right down the street from Coors Field. Great assortment of beers. Our Timelok trucks make it within the 12 hour drive "on" restricted by the DOT.. it's doable.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 23, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) I don't know what speed you were driving, but it took me almost 16 straight-thru Chicago to Fort Collins. 10 is definitely illegally fast. Considering it took almost 8 hours for me to get across just Nebraska. (that state never ends.) Cruise on 85 the entire way, only stopped for gas & potty twice.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Just look at Ozzie's quotes on Paulie and its also rather evident that despite the low batting AVG Ozzie still feels Paul is contributing. Plus mix that with all the comments KW had about Paulie over the offseason and its evident to me that the organization is still quite high on Konerko. Konerko is the ultimate team player. Now he may of called Uribe out when he shouldn't of, but once again I don't see this as him calling him out rather saying he disagreed with the play if Uribe did in fact lie (never said he did either). But thats just my 2 cents. Or perhaps they have enough class not to call out Paul on his pathetic BA in the press. :rolly

I don't care what Uribe did.. but if his teammates and manager think it was wrong then they should have enough class to s*** on him in private and not in the papers. That's my beef..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) I don't know, but baby he is so smooth

Big Al cuts our lawn.

Why is it a HR if it lands in the basket anyway..? What other park is a ball able to hit 6 to 10 inches from going over and called a HR..?? :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2005 -> 02:34 PM) Whatever happened to the condos that were supposed to go up at State and 35th? Permit problems.... Something about zoning crap. Supposed to be resolved by this fall.

I care about winning.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Just to stir this pot, any chance Konerko's comments were made tongue in cheek and this board is overreacting? Did you read the quote..?

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) I'd bet when Fisk was the team leader he would have had more to say than Kong. There is a professional way to play. I bet Fisk would have ^5'd him.... Jim's playing golf with him next Monday so I'll have him ask.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) cubs fans have been b****ing about this too. Bottom line-watch your third base coach idiot, especially with 2 outs. They started b****ing about it the minute it happened. That was expected. Someone needs to bring a roll of duct tape to the yard for Paul tonight..

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) The 2005 Chicago White Sox: Running Our Collective Mouth from Ozzie to Paulie

Paul calling out a teammate in the public.. not surprised at all.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ May 22, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) It is about a nine hour drive, but worth it. We drove to Boulder a few years ago and it took 10 hours just to get there (overnight driving).. Denver is only about an hour further.. but just in case maybe plan the drive with a bit of extra driving time in case you need it. Have fun.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 23, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) Why does he have to explain himself to "The Professor of Hindsight" Brad Palmer? He didn't have to explain anything. And quite honestly.. I don't feel he did. Just more yelling and cursing.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) Give LaToya our best, Steff. Today I target "fat boy".
