The day that we admit were like the cubs and enjoy losing is the day I die...I guess todays my lucky day.

The question really should be has this board quit?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 02:57 AM) From Scott Merkin's Sox Mailbag: Anyone have a better song to suggest for Jenks' entrance? I liked his entrance song. I like one particular verse. "Here come the boys from the south." get it south side??

I honestly could care less about Frank and the Athletics. If Frank were to win it all with the A's, he would feel justified in showing our organization why we shouldn't have let him go and some crap. When it comes down to it I'm a White Sox fan and as much as I love Frank the player I could careless whether or not he suceeds with another team. I would be happy for Frank in the long run but Frank just needs to remember to keep his mouth shut if they go the distance.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 08:54 PM) That one 40 some odd run he had was freaking outstanding. I've been watching NFL Huddle or whatever its called and all I had to see was that run and the speed he has to see that this kid is gonna be a special kind of player if he stays heatlhy. The Texans going to regret passing him by for a DE. I agree Bush is going to be a outstanding player. FIGHT ON! USC!

I was disapointed with madden on the 360 they cut alot of features out because they were rushed into a release. But I find that EA always makes the game pretty much the same every year. I get sick of it. I really liked 2k sports football game. I felt that it had more control over the action on the field. ps rally hogan

why are we making freddy think hes walking out the door. I don't see this as a good thing. Freddy might not be playing wellbecause of this.

question, when did we white sox fans start believing in curses? Were sounding like cub fans. I maybe out of the country but I still watch games on mlb tv. So I know whats going on. Listen these guys just need to get their act together and KW needs to make a big decision by bringing in someone new. Believing that we the fans can change an out come of a game by un-tying our shoe-laces or wearing a lucky hat is not going to change or losing ways. I know these are hard times but this spiff happends. Were not getting timely hitting and our pitching hasn't been as strong as last season. The guys need to wake up and turn this season around. This happends all the time and the season is not done yet. keep the faith "Don't stop believing"

they are always trying to start the wave right where the bullpen is and i am in section 155. Its god damn annoying. I had a person point at me once because I did not stand up. I was like "I am trying to watch a f***ing game here why do I need to please your ass?"

f*** Mariotti! He's alienated himself from this town for awhile now. He should just get out while he can.

nvm

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 08:06 AM) I just read this too. All I can say is that sour grapes produce a lot of whine. Dude I am really getting sick of this negative attention. Its like we become the most scrutinized team in baseball.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 03:20 PM) If there is one person in the world who would not fire Ozzie for what he called Marriotti, its JR. This really pisses me off. When Marriotti says some insulting things about or staff and players he doesn't get suspeneded. Even though it wasn't as far as what Guillen stated but never the less I hold Marriotti to blame. Everyone knows Guillens a loose cannon and the media thrills into prompting him to say these outragous things. Marriotti should be in the same boat if you ask me.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) I would rather the Indians eliminate themselves before the Allstar break. The Cubs are such a trainwreck at this juncture its pointless to root against them so I'm hoping they go into Cleveland and sweep away the Injuns. Plus I've never been one to spend my time rooting against the Cubs. Too bad that is never going to happen. hey if the indians can get out of our rear view mirror that would be great. But all we need to do is keep those straglers off our backs and keep winning games. Then we can reclaim #1 in our division.

QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 01:18 PM) Where would you put him though? 2nd base? I have to say if this were posted a few weeks ago I would have said to have Ozuna start at SS. But now that Uribe has been hitting better I am gonna say no and give him more time to come around.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) Way too many issues with Weaver...pass on him as well. this has nothing to due with this topic but Jester if that avatar is correct I am going to enjoy my trip to Brazil this summer.

Honest to god I just read the articles on the cubs website. I can't believe he still thinks AJ is to blame because he made a step to their dugout. I don't punch people because they walk by me. It makes no f***ing sense. Also, the fact that he supposedly has back problems right when the Cubs just so happen to play Detroit. This is so typical of the cubs...Michael Barrett is full of s***. Even Dusty said he was fine enough to play today.

QUOTE(loltrain @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) It would be pretty ironic if Barett was finally (really what makes this take so long?) suspended just in time for the Tigers series. Having a Sox player get punched in the face end up costing his own team....some MLB rules are just stupid. As a Tigers fan I certainly don't like Pierzynski but the guy punched him in the face he should have been serving his suspension weeks ago. I agree with you that it would be ironic if Barrett were to be benched for these games against the tigers and I think the rules are stupid aswell. But I don't understand why people hate Pierzynski. When he has nothing to do with him personally. Like take Angel fans for example, they hate him because he just made a heads up play to first. I mean if the ball hit the ground or not is the umps call and the ump should be at fault. So I don't see why Angels fans hate him personally for something he has no control over. Everybody wants to see AJ get beaned by someone. He was voted the most that they would like to see get hit. I remember when Escobar hit him and all these Angels fans think justice has been served. I don't know why AJ has become the most hated player in the MLB with Barry Bonds in second. I honestly have no clue what he did to piss off every player in the majors and every fan. From what I can tell all he has been doing is playing good heads up baseball. AJ plays to win thats what I like about him. He will do anything to win and I he plays with a certain tenacity that resembles a lot like the way Carlton Fisk plays ball.

GO CUBBIES!! WHERES RONNIE WOO WOO?! BEAT THOSE TIGERS YOU USELESS CUBBIES!!!

nvm

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) I cannot imagine ever leaving a game early. Dude I would have f***ing stayed if my mom and my brother weren't so pushy.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Yes. to truely convert is IMPOSSIBLE

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 12:21 AM) Did you see this comment from Oz in the Sun Times when asked if Maggs should be an all-star reserve? I had to love his loyalty to his Sox. "The numbers are there, the opportunity is there, yeah,'' Guillen said. ''But if I have to pick between Maggs -- or anybody else -- in front of my players, it will be a tough call because I have to pick my players.'' Maggs went on to say he'd love to play for Ozzie in the all star game. Is there any question Ozzie is the freshest face in baseball in decades? You have to love this guy. And it's going to be great to see Dye, et. all in the all star game with Ozz adding the reserves. LOL! Wow now maggs is kissing our asses?! That sob gave us s*** saying that he didn't want to play for Ozzie, thought that he were trying to sabotage his career. He also said that we didn't seem to care about winning. Now were World Champs. Magglio can go f*** off in my opinion. :finger
