  1. No way is Ozzie becoming Ditka or will end up like Ditka. Ditka is a knothead, scumbag who gets bombed, hangs out at his crappy restaurant smoking cigars, lives off the past, and usually ends up talking to some trashy girls before they leave together. The guy is a clown! I'd be very surprised if Ozzie ended up like this.
  2. I'm surprised that Ozzie would announce that he's the captain, or want to go down this road. If anyone is the captain, it's Ozzie, hence calling a MLB manager "The Skipper". Also, in pro sports once you name a person captain, what are you going to do when it's time to dump the guy because he isn't hitting anymore? The naming of captains works in highschool and college, due to the turnover, but in the pro's it's a receipe for disaster. I think it's a dumb idea.
  3. The whole "the Sox are moving to Florida" was brewing for some time, but I always thought a deal would get done. Then I saw that a stadium was being built in Florida, then as the deadline was getting closer, I started to think that the Sox might end up moving. You have to remember that in 1984 the Colts moved to Indy in the middle of the night, so why wouldn't that happen to the Sox. So the deadline was set and when I went to bed that night I thought the Sox were goners. I woke up the next day and my dad told me the good news that the Sox were staying. I was upset with Reinsdorf and the team for being taken hostage, but I got over it when the Sox got off to a great start in 1990. The 1990 team saved me from doing something really stupid and got me back on the right track. Now that I'm older I relize that you have to set deadlines to get deals set. The SF Giants did the same thing in the late '90's and it got them a stadium also. It was a dark time as a Sox fan, but if you can believe it, it was not the lowest. In my opinion the 1994 strike was the lowest. Of all the years to go on strike!!!
  4. I might be the only one who feels this way, but I have no interest in this tournament. Not because of the White Sox players, but I've never thought the idea of All-Stars getting together to play a team sport, especially prefessional players worked in a tournament setting. Teams take awhile to actually mold into teams, plus a group of professional players making millions to play for America in an american manufacuted tournament would seem dull to the average major leaguer. Anyways, isn't this what the olympics are for? and since the olympic baseball was cancelled isn't that a pretty good sign that people are not interested in baseball tournments like this? I guess the foregin players want this, but who cares about foreign teams that can barely field an entire team. Maybe this is just a MLB manufactured event to better scout the Cuban players against MLB talent.
  5. The only possible copyright problems would be with the photo of the trophy. They would have to pay the photographer. But as for the Texas, LSU and USC printed on the billboard, that is not a copyright violation as long as it isn't the official school logo's or any copyrighted logos.
  6. Here are some photos from those attacks/morons. The first one was the Cub fan Dybas, the second was the guy that attacked the umpire with his kid, the third one is some jerk that ran on the field and the fourth is when Homer cost the 'Topes the championship.
  7. Why "Scoop" would get all in a tizzie about the communities Joe Buck mentioned is a waste of time. I recall that Joe mentioned that a lot of White Sox fans WORK (Not worked) at the stock yards. Somebody forgot to tell Joe that the stock yards have been gone for almost 40 years. Would it make Scoop happy if Joe mentioned all the White Sox fans in the Robert Taylor homes?...is that what he's looking for? As for Scoop, being a White Sox fan and writing about the White Sox not getting respect from Sports Illustrated is a valid point. Every World Series winner since 1995 has been on the cover....except the White Sox.
  8. I live in Chicago and the MLB World Series video was blacked out, but not the Sox Pride video. I use Direct TV.
  9. This is all a set up for Moronetti. Now that the White Sox have won the World Series, he will build them up to unatainable heights and when they fail to reach his goals or they get rid of a player he liked, then the hatchet job comes out. For christs sake, the guy still writes about the Bulls being broken up 7 years later and after they won 6 championships! Also on June 7th, 2005 Moronetti wrote that as long as Jerry Reinsdorf ownes the White Sox, then they will never win a World Series. Moronetti has absolutly no credability left in Chicago and should leave town.
  10. I saw the World Series trophy today at the City/County Building. It's located on the first floor in the middle of the foyer and is guarded by about 8 cops. It will be there till Friday night. The building is located on LaSalle and Washington.
  11. I remember when Delgado was a free agent in Toronto, they asked him about the White Sox and he said that he hates US Cellular field and wouldn't sign with the Sox, no matter what. So, even though he would be a good fit for the Sox, I wasn't holding my breath.
  12. This guy Bruce Levine is a total Cubs apoligist. As a baseball "insider", the guy is a total hack. If he's reporting it, I know its a dead deal, or it wasn't a deal to begin with.
  13. QUOTE(bmags @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) i used to hate notre dame, then they started sucking...for a while...and then it tamed. Since ND is good again, does that mean your "hating" is going to pick back up? There could be some medicine that could help you with that. And why is it that anytime ND is mentioned, a bunch of posters have to point out how much they "hate" ND? Yea, yea...you hate ND...got it. You don't need to post it every time. Move on! Also, there is a great Cubs/Bartman refrence in the new Family Guy/Stewie Griffin DVD. Oh, no, did I just start a "I hate Family Guy" thing now?
  14. QUOTE(bmags @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) careful thou, my friend did this and it slowed down his computer soooo much... My computer doesn't slow down at all or when I access the network. It's the same all the time and I don't have a super processor or anything out of the ordinary. I have no idea why it would slow down.
  15. QUOTE(He Gawn!!! @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) Is this for any TiVo model? I have the HD TiVo and was told that my USB port will not work like this. Has that been corrected? IF you have a stand alone Tivo unit HD or not, you can hook it up to a network/router that will access your mp3's, photos and play or view them through the television and will allow you to use the tivo to go feature. But, if you have a satellite/tivo unit, the network feature doesn't work.
