Why would he use his back up catcher to start the game, and have his starter DHing instead? He has got to be smart enough to realize if you need the better Molina in the game, you would lose the use of the DH for the rest of the game if you move him in at Catcher. Instead they PR for Molina late in the game, and instead Josh Paul has to go in at Catcher, meaning the 2nd base was an easy steal for Molina. Getting past the Strike 3/Out controversy, would they have sent Ozuna for 2nd with a Molina behind the plate? Could Ozuna have scored from first on Crede's ball to the wall? That one little move trying to give the better Molina a day off behind the plate, was a big factor in the 9th inning to say the least.

I wonder what bugs them worse, the White Sox, the Astros, or the Cardinals in it... OR ALL 3!!!

Congratulations to the Garcias

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) My interest in signing Furcal basically depends on our overall payroll and our ability to secure legitimate #3 and #4 hitters. If we have money to burn AFTER those needs are met, then he'd be a good addition, even if he is overpaid. We are not going to spend that much money this year. If we secure a #3 and #4 hitter, we are looking at least a $15 million increase over last year, right away. Once you figure in raises and the like for existing players, that takes us to $90 million right away.

Tons of availability. Prices were coming down towards face even an hour and a half before first pitch. It was so bad that many scalpers wouldn't quote you a price, they were asking what you were willing to spend.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) Once again... LMFAO Irony. I love it.

All of this makes me wonder if Eddings had stayed in a Holiday Express last night, would we be even having this discussion?

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) As simple as that? Duh. Thanks. Its actually a complete rip off of what the White Sox announcers to themselves during a game. They each make a pick to click, and then a winner is declared after the game. We have run our own version of this here on Soxtalk for about 3 years now, and even had a couple of prizes this year, thanks to the generosity of a couple of players.

Happy Birthday POTUS!!!

Maybe we should put it to a vote?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) I think this has been one of the best discussions we have had on any subject I agree. Most excellent.

I was in line to buy a couple of things from the HOF gift shop. I was third in line, with another guy in front of me. A woman, cash in hand, looks throught the glass counter at the DVDs and procedes to ask "Who is Nancy Foust?" The guy in front of me, and behind her repeats in stunned disbelief.. "Who is Nancy Foust? She's the organist. She's been here like 35 years! "Oh really? Wow, I didn't know that." Yep, the bandwagon is filling fast. Get your seats now!

I went last night, and I just want to say that I have never been to a professional sporting even that was close to as incredible as that was last night. That was the highlight of my fandom. Wow.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) It might have been the right call, its still hard to tell, but he signaled out. That's the problem. I am so happy he did call it a trap.I think Buerhle was going back out in the 10th and I had visions of Britt Burns and Tito Landrum back in 1983. That game featured a baserunning blunder just like this one. What did the replay show when Crede was doubled up? It really didn't matter, Pods would have had to drive him in, and I think we all know that wasn't happening. I am glad I wasn't the only one who had the horrors of Tito Landrum dancing in my head

QUOTE(Reddy @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) by the way - i was so f***ing stoked when they played "holding out for a hero" i was like "SOXTALK! RALLY CREDE!" it got me sooo pumped! Even funnier was at the game they showed these two drunk ass frat boys who were doing the running in place thing just like they did in the original movie it was in.

So he was better off dead, than to ask Reinsdorf for tickets?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Us bunch of liberal idiots who have nothing better to do then spaghetti monsters and spam SOXTALK. Hey, I take my spamming seriously.

Does anyone still need further proof? BOW DOWN TO THE RALLY CREDE!!! :notworthy Accept the Rally Crede as your avatar and be saved, or burn with the rest of the heathens!

I really look forward to reading Scott's blog when I can. I love the inside view that he brings. It is totally unique.

All righty guys, I am outta here, headed down the Red Line for my first ever ALCS baseball game. Hold down the fort and lets get us a White Sox Winner!!! I have the camera with me, so as long as the rain holds off I should get some good pictures.

Hey Knight, thanks again for this thread. There are some awesome pictures in here, and I saved a bunch to my computer. I have the my pictures folder as my screen saver, and a bunch of these pictures are on it, which always makes me smile when I see them. This one is for you

Like I said before. Aiding and abeting a felony. Pull their charitable charter with the IRS. They are officially a criminal organization in my book.
