I love his statement about the love of the game of baseball. There is nothing quite like it in sports.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) They have members at SOSH that trump Southsider2k5's post count. Some poster named Maalox has 26,621. Although it's understandable, if you browse through the forum, how he's managed this feat. One of posts featured in the game day thread was simply the words "No" following Iguchi's HR. Damn I have some work to do Disclaimer, they have been around a lot longer than we have

Hockey? What's hockey? You forget we are in Chicago, and we only get to see 41 games a year

Isn't the US adopting a program where anyone coming into the US needs a visa, including Canada and Mexico?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) While Oz does not deserve manager of the year IMO, Kenny is by far the GM of the year. Great job Kenny. There is no not a doubt in my mind. Think about the keys to yeserday's game. The starting pitcher was a 38th round draft pick when KW was in charge of scouting. The closer who went two innings was picked up from Anaheim for a waiver fee. The 2nd baseman who hit a key homer was a Japanese import that KW never scouted in person, just off of videos. Can anyone else make a case for executive of the year like Kenny? The only other organization that made anywhere close to the turn around that the Sox did was Cleveland, and most of those moves were made in prior years. Of the 8 playoff teams, only 2 were not here last year, and the Padres sure as hell don't deserve to be there.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) Lots of unusual stuff going on. Guido told us what he was drinking. The guys used foul language. They played the same 7 songs during breaks that they always play. Maury "called" Iguchi's homer. The guys used more foul language. Yep, LOTS of unusual stuff going on....... And the most unusual thing of all.... they called a winner

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) While it was a great moment in White Sox history, one of the best infact, how do you explain the ten curtain calls? Why doesn't that drive you nuts? I smell a double standard. Something smells all right, except I can't quite place it... it's almost like something from under a bridge...

What is there about 8 people in Atlanta?

From Scott Riefort's blog

Of course, it is still a race thing. :rolly I guess once you have played the race card, it becomes trump card until the end? Dispite being complete bulls*** predictions that were coming out at the height of everything, there are people still insisting that they are getting screwed because they are black. These people just need to STFU until they get proof that either #1 10,000 people are dead, or #2 they unsurface some vast conspiracy at any level of this that actually said, screw them they are black, let them die. Until then all the stuff that comes out of their mouths is worth about as much as the sewage water that was pumped out New Orleans in the first place.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) "oh ms. vandenburg? you forgot to assign us homework! dont let our class out until we have our homework!" your comment reminds me of that one kid in your second grade class who reminds the teacher when she forgets to assign homework. grow a pair! Easy kiddo, you kinda missed the joke there

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) Seriously -- this is f***ing KILLING me! I want to be at home soo bad sittin gon my couch, drinkin a beer (or 8) and watching this game but yet time is f***ing CREEPING by................ :banghead ^^^^^ Stupid f@#%ing work

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) I dont really want to start a whole new thread, so I will just put this here. This from SoSH I added in the Red just to eliminate confusion. That is the exact problem the WHITE Sox have had for years before this one. They would go out and score a bunch of runs one night, and very few the next couple, but when you added the total runs scored you get an obscene total that is ultra-impressive. It would be interesting to see what their standard deviations for runs scored are.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) Pardon my stupidity, but could you explain what that means? I have always had trouble with understanding that stuff. Thanks! -108 means you would have to bet $108 to win your money back plus $100. If you see plus odds you bet $100 to win the amount, plus your original $100 back.

Happy Birthday dude

Steam "Kiss Him Goodbye" should be a prerequisite.

A prior (3rd) grand jury had refused to indict Delay, and the 2nd one only indicted him after "new evidence" emerged after a 3 year investigation. http://www.statesman.com/metrostate/conten.../10/5earle.html

We are having problems with too much load on MYSQL, because basically it sucks. One of the features that runs the most queries and bogs down the board the most is the search feature. Right now allowing a huge number people to post and view the board is a priority, so we are doing away with some of the higher query running features for now. An upgrade in the off season is something we are looking at.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) That board would not be so bad if the board members took a couple of phonics classes. And they got rid of all of the trolls

Glad to see the Hawks got something for him, as anyone could have claimed him if they didn't get a trade done.

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) I'm tired of you bad-mouthing everything around here. Ban him! Don't make me break out an unsanctioned personal attack on you.

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) You were WAY off. :rolly Yet still way more accurate than Tom Skilling... Go figure

Word of advice. Drop ESPN.com message boards. They suck. That is all.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 4, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) Ahem. . . I just have one thing to say: WHO DA WEATHER MAN?!?!!

Interesting. Very interesting. Even more fun would be to have Ozzie go out and have him checked out.
