QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) Our mascot is a bird, our nickname is a tornado, and our logo is a letter. ?? whatever floats your boat. I liked the bird logo better, esp this one.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Ahh, ESPN Classic. Chenowith is a Chenob****. Chenoworthless??? I saw him again at dMb show last summer and almost spilled my beer I laughed so hard. I get reminded of his crappy soft game every time I tune in to see David Padgett play for Louisville. PS- Fair enough on the Cardinal, it still looks a lot more similar to a Jayhawk than it does a Cyclone.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) You're talking to a Gopher student/fan. Won't hear me disagree Just don't expect a damn thing from recruiting, and you should be ok.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 01:24 PM) GO CLONES Speaking of the Cyclones.... (good luck tonight, I reckon youre gonna need it) I always wondered why carry a nickname like the Cyclones and then have a mascot that looks exactly like a Jayhawk rip-off?? ROCK CHALK.

NO Rally Crede though, wonder if this all but seals his fate...written on the wall. I'm all over the Danks, Fields, Owens session on Friday night

schedule is up... Thome WILL be in attendance. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/commun...e.jsp?loc=index

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 04:04 PM) Because he's Captain Soxtalk, King of the Message Boards... that's why. I see. With that kind of reputation and so many posts, you'd think he'd have a better avatar than the "red x" What happened did Mike Caruso call to complain that he wanted royalties??

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) Reading Comprehension 101 "barely even" ≠ "not" If I didn't think it was news I wouldn't have posted it in the MLB Catch all thread over an hour ago. Any reaction to this greater than "hmm" is unnecessary. sorry I posted then, I'll be sure to run any future Chicago team signings by you before I post them. If you didn't care about the news, why post in thread?

Reported by WSCR Score 670. The frisbee and gong are headed to the North Side. WOW. True.

I'd expect the WhiteSox to update the list sometime this week.... usually the full list isn't complete unitl the actual schedule of events come out, it could be next Wed. before we see any of that though.

Are they ever gonna have an official press-confrence or I guess just wait until Soxfest to introduce him??

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) Which day is the KW/Ozzie/Hawk question-fest? I'm assuming Swisher will be onstage as well. That's what I want to be at. I believe it's on the Saturday, yes? finally back to the topic at hand... kind of. None of the seminar or autograph booth schedules have been released yet, I'd hope for a press release sometime next week.

Roll call time... BTW for those of you that have not yet got tickets (not sure if they are sold-out) but whitesox.com just started selling Saturday/Sunday passes for $70 on whitesox.com this morning. Friday is only open to hotel guests this year, and they also have this Premium Upgrade package (sold-out) that has several different perks not only for the fest itself with private autograph sessions and photos opps, but also includes an opportunity to watch Sox bp next year with patio party included. So anyways... JAN 25, 26, 27 PALMER HOUSE HILTON Who is going? What package did you buy? Grabbed the hotel package for my sister and bro-in-law for thier Christmas gift, and also grabbed the upgrade for myself. Trying not to take it for granted that Swisher will be there, but hwo could he not resist this opportunity to introduce himself to some of the most hardcore and knowledgable fans in baseball... Nevertheless, a good chance to get Burls to sign some no-no memorabilia, Thome #500, hell, I still need a Dye 05 WS MVP ball. Looking forward to the weekend!!! Here's hoping we have one more deal we can celebrate before then!!

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) KU undefeated entering conference. Darnell Jackson is god long time man, fellas are looking reals good this year. Still impressed over that complete dismantling road win at BC last Saturday. Hear anything about Chalmers aside from the normal FUD?

Wanted to go on Saturday, but decided not to with the incoming weather and the big night ahead of me... Did they have game used stuff like what is available at the Soxfest garage sale?? Secondly, how about Cabrera jerseys Any discount on those??

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 02:20 PM) Over at the WSI board, a poster of there who broke the Quentin deal with a source in the DBacks front office say another deal is being talked about in the early stages... Konerko for M. Owings SP C. Jackson 1B T. Pena RP No thanks. Micah can't hit for us.

QUOTE(rockren @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 02:04 PM) Oh we can beat that! COME ON, KW!! Be the man one more time! YES please. DO IT.

the answer to this question is of course, Pablo Ozuna. Or his donkey. He runs very swift.

what a great way to TRY and sell off the thousands of bricks that unaccounted for....

Anybody hear Hunter this morning on Silvy and Waddle? Sure it may be a pep rally, especially considering the way Torii tends to run his mouth. Surprised this hadn't been mentioned yet, but he seems like he really wants to come here. He will be meeting with KW on Sunday, and wants to play for a big market like Chicago. He also mentioned that the Dodgers and Nationals seemed to be interested off the bat, but would like to finish his career with this contract. Has always loved to play at the Cell, knows he has hit well there, loves to play D in CF there, and mentioned the grass is true. (thank u Sodfather) Also stated that he has always been fond of Ozzie since he was young playing spring training through minor leagues, he's always made him laugh, and he'd really like to play for him someday... he is now just realizing that this might become a reality and "you never know" Silvy brought up the Jamie Burke incident, and Hunter said he actually got a couple death threats about that, but people joke about that with him all the time in Chicago now. He basically stated it was a gut reaction and a litt'l ghetto came out of him... but a good play nonetheless, just something Sox fans were obviosuly not happy with at the time. He would welcome coming to Chicago, he had a lot of family and freinds here, and is not scared of the way the media and fans treated Jacque Jones on the North Side. "We are two completely different people, I like to be out in the streets and be social." 5 years might be rough... but damnit, I want him.

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 05:48 PM) Let me clear something up for some people: The White Sox WILL NOT sign Jones or Hunter. Get it ? NOT. Thankfully. Sign Rowand, hopefully. I'm not only the Rowand Fan Club president, I'm also a member.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 11:41 AM) Funny how we all want Hunter but not Jones....as if performances don't drastically change from year to year in this game. Remember, Jones is younger, in better shape physically, and has put up monster seasons before, unlike Torii. Couldnt agree more... I know Hunter seems sexy to us as White Sox fans because he has stuck it to us so many times before, but ultimately Jones has a better track record and a better outlook for the future. I'm not so sure Hunter puts up anything close to his 07 numbers again. He's been waiting a LONG time for this payday. Same could be said for Row Row, but on a much smaller basis. He is also in the playoffs, where his contract value could only go up. Spending the $ on Jones is a big risk, but comparing the 3, he would be the option that is calculated...and a proven winner since his first AB.

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 28, 2007 -> 01:47 AM) http://www.bangcartoon.com/2007/businessasusual.htm Check out the end of the cartoon. never seen this before, but that's pretty damn funny. Do they do a new cartoon every week??

Went to the game at Miller Park last Friday.... 5 SB against Sheets in the first inning, and here I thought White Sox pitching staff was a disgrace at checking numbers. Sheets just shrugged it off after the game, bascially saying... its not his fault. The Crew srent done, but it sure seems like they need something close to a miracle to get everyone on the same page at this point. I couldnt imagine the tension in that clubhouse right now. Theyre kids, they should be having fun... but seems like its anything but that watching this team's mentailty on and off the field.

The main reason the Tigers won't see October this year.... the White Sox own them, and did last year too.
