QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) more money = more freebies given to cheap college kids by mike.......right? Hey I am all for it, if some really nice players give us autographs again

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) Nice Sig. :headshake Funny, if you mentioned soxtalk at WSI, you'd be banned in a minute by George Here, we don't mind, we love the comparison But I'm wondering, why are you posting here? The answer is probably the obvious, he got banned at WSI for something...

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Players failed to execute. If Ozzie puts calls for a bunt, and Pods can't come close to getting it down (then looks at strike 3), how is that a managerial error? Its not. The players just were not sharp last night. I don't know if it was the 3 days off, or the jitters, or what, but it just wasn't there. Tonight should be a different story.

I lived in Houston for 3 years as a kid, so they are my 2nd favorite team. I'd like to see them advance, but the Machevellian in me doesn't really care.

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) Do you need to bring a sign saying "Need a Single Ticket".. or is it best just to stand around and ask? I might decide to drive on over there, park along the Red Line, and take the train in.. depending on when I get out of work. If I can't get in, it'll take over an hour to get back home, and I don't wanna miss the first 5 innings. Can't make up my mind! :banghead You'll see plenty of people asking if you need tickets. Ask them for a single and what their price is. If they have them, never pay their first offer, and undercut it by a chunk to see what they come back with. If you don't like the price walkaway from them. The longer you are willing to wait, the more the prices will come down.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Shut up. There will be no whining or b****ing whatsoever. You want to whine and complain do it elsewhere. This team is a playoff team, thats won one round and got beat. They hit Byrd up later in the game and just had some hang wiff ems. And Crede sure didn't choke early in the game when he hammered a solo shot. Seriously, shut the f*** up. There's another game tomorrow and I'm not gonna deal with people jumping off ledges. My hero.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) What Ozzie needs to do is sit the fock every player and tell them once and for all that we will ONLY have 5 innings to score in every game. Because I am sure our players didn't realize how good the Angels bullpen is

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) and you're still considering this "job"!?!!?! more money=more baseball tickets=all right! Giditty!!

Nice Story. to Nomar

QUOTE(~~HighHeat45~~ @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) The bunt dye put down on the first pitch in whatever inning was the the worst call all season. It made no sense at all and even if it somehow worked and he got on i still would be saying that. There is no way that was called from the bench. That was all Dye.

FYI, the Trib is reporting Barak Obama will throw out the first pitch tonight. I haven't seen anything about the anthem singer.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) I hear ya SSI, but IMO that's a lame crowd. It's easy to cheer when the team is up, the team NEEDS the support when it's trailing. Exactly. Its easy to wait until things are good to cheer. Its just like waiting until the team wins to get on the bandwagon IMO. Its lame.

QUOTE(Tannerfan @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) Where is the best place to hang out looking for tix at the park? IN the lots closest to the entrances.

QUOTE(Art Vandelay @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) Congrats! I also work for a sinking ship....also looking for another job. I envy you The timing couldn't have been more perfect. The more that comes out, the more this is looking positively Enron-esque. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:53 PM) f***ING AWESOME MIKE. I know you've been looking hard and what great timing for the new job (with the child coming) and all. Congratulations...a beer on me next time I see ya I am saving this post! QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) Can you still use the internet....? Congrats Mike, Not sure yet. I might be posting a lot less in the near future. QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) Awesome Mike. I'm going back to the cruise bidness myself next week. Good deal. Good luck man. Hopefully this time around works out better than the last time. QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 08:23 AM) Congrats man! Ahhh the wonders of Refco................. Its scary. I feel really bad for the sales people and the commission people. They are the ones who are up creek without a paddle right now.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) i dont think it would reaffirm any belief in democracy that he has, Juggs already thinks we are all narrow-minded and against him. Unfortunately, he doesnt seem to realize that he is the one that keeps throwing down the gauntlet to everyone else. but, but, but majority rules

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) Come on SS2K5, thats what you call a boooooooo, you took out the funny in this conversation! Ah, you can always go back and read the first post again. That will start the laughter all over again. Heck I still think my test of Juggernauts belief in Democracy needs to be done. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=915099 PUT IT TO A VOTE!!!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) Its a startling lack of pirates in this world. I dont know why this theory hasnt been more thoroughly researched. I will be careful when I eat my marinara from now on. OH there are plenty of pirates in this world. Only today they have evolved and they are now called terrorists.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) In some places...not truthfully answering a federal prosecutor's questions while under oath is known as perjury. Well thankfully purjury isn't enough to get you convicted by Congress...

I can finally leave this damned sinking ship behind!!! I got myself a big raise and a move back onto the trading floor. Plus the company I work for is in a whole world of s*** for having a CEO setting up shell companies to funnel money to himself. Now they might be restating earnings all of the way back to 1998. WHAT A WEEK FOR ME

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) Who the hell is Alice Peacock??? I'm glad I wasn't the only one asking that question.

I'm not usually one for stereotypes about the southside, but that was damned funny.

I don't know why, but lots of teams don't like to put all of their offense on one PP line. I guess its the whole putting your eggs in one basket thing.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Ditto. If you take what he stated to the fullest extreme, women shouldn't be allowed to vote, work outside the home or wear pants amongst other things. Also, African-Americans wouldn't be able to vote, own land, etc. Just because a "majority" might believe something, it doesn't necessarily make it right, it just makes it, well, a majority held opinion. Does that mean if a majority vote of Soxtalk posters was held, and they felt that Juggernaut should not post here, that Juggernaut would quit posting here? After all that would be democracy at its finest.
