The Rally Crede's official mascots are Ribbie AND Rubarb.

No big suprise there. He was breaking down big time.

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) What do you call it, Mr Smarty Pants? Houston, but that is just me. I heard Space City and H-Town more than anything when I lived down there. Texans associate bayous with Louisiana. It would be like referring to Chicago as Hoosier Town, and then offering them a hotdog with ketchup.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:05 PM) The fatal flaw in running a government by means of an inner circle is that when one of the cogs flips it brings tthe whole thing crashing down. Live by the cabal, die by the cabal. I agree 100%, I only wish that the samething would have happened to Clinton/Gore.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:13 PM) Wikipedia. I don't care what that site saids, NO ONE down there calls it that.

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) So Sox fans would have to spend $125 to win $100? Astros fans win $105 by betting $100? Exactly Also another reason to like this World Series. 2005 payrolls

Bayou City? Some columnist didn't do his homework. Using a term about Louisana to describe the biggest city in Texas is a capitol offense down there.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) I have a really hard time imagining that taking a minute of free time to stick it to the doubters, and to feel some pride in what the Sox have achieved so far, is preventing Ozzie from focusing on Houston and what the Sox need to do to be successful. and FWIW even if Houston....you know....( I can't bring myself to type THAT, either )....I will always remember this season fondly. I expected around 85 wins, and they delivered MUCH more than that. The White Sox are the 2005 American League champions, and that is a successful season to me. Is it the ultimate prize? Of course not, or they wouldn't be playing on Saturday. But I'm not the person to diminish one achievement just because another one wasn't accomplished. Great post Mr Critic. Great post.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) Weather doesn't look so good.. Hmmm It'll be 70 and clear where I am sitting

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I think it has something more to do with New Years . September is a close second, iirc, being approx 9 months from Christmastime. Almost my whole family is December babies. We were much more into the Spring Flings.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) But that picture is from the "Seperate Ways" video... You won't be needing this anymore... [grabs Kid's Guy Card, shreads it, burns it.]

Hey wait, there is a market for these things? Would anyone be willing to trade lower deck World Series tickets for a baby to be named later??? It is my first born!

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) The point still stands. I've drank more beer since the playoffs started than in the last 3 months! And I've drank more champagne than I ever do on New Year's. 3 bottles down for me, hopefully one more to go

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 09:51 AM) In the end he said him and North were all cool, but there was one other media person he wanted to talk to (Yes, we know who). North asked him if Marriotti would talk to Oz face to face and Ozzie said, "No, because he ain't go no God dang balls." Its funny, because its true.

Good choices for the first pitches

LMFAO. Hopefully he even draws the Score a fine or two.

Houston isn't going to score a lot of runs, and neither are the Sox. The key is defense. The team that gives up extra outs and baserunners will not win this series. With the lack of offense we are going to see, every little thing will be magnified.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) i Frank Thomas You also like poop, so what does that say for Frank?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-nws-soxbox20.html Who was BS-ing? What's new there? This has been covered ad nasuem for pages in here...

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 07:55 AM) That park is retarded. Forget Minute Maid, maaaaan, it's Tropicana for me! Its different, but it was a really cool place to see a ballgame. It was one of the favorite parks I have seen so far.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) This has been said before, and I'll say it again. If we get into a situation where our only chance of winning rides somehow on the choice between Geoff Blum and Ross Gload...we're really in trouble. People said the samething about Orlando Hernandez too, and we all know how that turned out. The World Series history is littered with nameless players who came up at that one defining moment, and became a hero. Heck, I doubt Braves fans were really excited about having Francisco Cabrera on the playoff roster before the playoffs started. At this point in the season every guy is vital. One pitch could be the difference between Joe Carter and Joe Schmo.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) UH OHHHHHHHHHHH.....................someone thinks he's on the team now.................. So what, do you play for the other team?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) If you want a kid addicted to gambling. Jordan was a horrible role model. Arguably the best basketball player of all time, but he was not a good role model. And that is when he wasn't out cheating on his wife... Admire Jordan the ballplayer, but don't admire him off of the hardwood.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Let's me guess, another girl? Mrs. AJ Mrs. Joe Mrs. Freddy Now, Mrs. Paulie Who's next? Congrats! Mrs Southsider

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) Phil Garner is a tool. And he hates the Sox. I still think he called for Weaver to hit CLee in 2000 that eventually led to the retaliation and brawl. Guess I'm searching for less stats, more emotion! Wow I had totally missed that connection. I wonder if we could see the first bench clearing brawl in World Series history?
