Paul McCartney is coming in November. Best concert I have ever seen.

It is cool to see a "celeb" at the ballgame. This is another step in making the southside "cool" again.

That he only throws in the high 80's, and being such a health risk, certainly wouldn't make sense for the sox [financially, taking on his contract, or for trading any decent talent] Google news search is a beautiful thing

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) Today's paper said we have signed 14 of our top 15 draftees. Who's holding out? Does this lessen the chance we throw a bunch of money at Danks?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Pierzynski is really struggling. They mentioned he's a .294 career hitter, he's sitting at .250 right now. He's not taken a lot of criticism here but he needs to pick it up. And as long as he continues to keep the pitching staff in order, he could hit .150 for all I care.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) I'm looking forward to this game, with the retro jerseys and all. Let's take the series tonight! This is the game of the series that when I saw the promotional scheudle for 2005, I wanted to go to the most. Have fun guys, and bring us a winner!!!

Damn this was a fun game to see. The boys were breaking out the lumber and the top of the order was flying around the bases, while Mark was on cruise control. It was a thing of beauty.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Ok, you guys better let it out now. How bad was Jason with those so called "Fastballs" of his. Lets just say Rangers 14 year old sister had a better arm

Damn I thought this was a queen prawn thread

That is really cool. Congrats to Ozzie Then again he might fail the English exam...

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) You missed a hell of a time. Steff, Jason, Alex, and mike were a riot! Great to talk sox baseball with awesome people and fans!! Yeah we ended up in a funny spot today, basically in the stadium club parking lot. Sorry to anyone else who tried to look for us. But it was nice to meet you and your sister Ranger, and it was a great time to see everyone and tip back a few.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) When someone says, "_____ is the best at something," that means he is better than everyone else. I don't care if Konerko didn't say that word for word that that Clayton is better than Uribe, he said it. You don't say that someone is better than your teammate, you just keep your mouth shut. It doesn't even matter if it's true. So if we insert Frank Thomas there and this whole team instead of an individual player, like Frank said last week, why does everyone jump to Franks defense? That is the part that makes no sense to me.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) I look forward to the day that someone actually says they like a certain sports columnist or TV host. There are plenty of Chicago writers I like. I know the Trib better because I read it everyday, but from the Trib I like Rick Morrisey, Mike Downey, Sam Smith, Phil Rogers, Paul Sullivan, and Sox beat writer Gonzalez is growing on me. Out of the Sun Times, I pretty much like everyone but Kotex-Boy.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Hopefully he doesn't advise the young guys on tipping practices Here is someone who seems to have learned from Scottie... http://www.benmaller.com/archives/2005/jun...a_1_tipper.html

Man takes his hunt to the billboards http://www.nbc5.com/irresistible/4616560/d...382&dppid=65192 In a couple of years the billboard will read "free to good home"

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) There is 1 more set of split lines that we shouldn't forget with El Duque: ERA wins losses innings games Postseason 3.59 16 9 223.0 35 And I am sure that his August and September numbers are pretty similar. Hernandez is money when it counts. Period.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Convicted of 22 counts and they get ROR? WTF is that? He should have tried to get the case moved to California, he would have walked

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) I wouldn't worry about anything happening. Our governments seems very friendly right now. Yeah, I know, but it is just funny to hear people say things like that, when in reality, it would be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Let the civil suits begin!!!! http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/17/news/newsm...dex.htm?cnn=yes

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) They have never been a strong offensive team - their game has been defense - that's how they got to the finals a few years back. That and the Kevin Weekes factor Sorry, I'll stop now.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) Whaaaa ... ?? Confused. I-55 toward the city, exit Dan Ryan Indiana. Exit at 35th St. off the Dan Ryan. The exit takes you directly onto 35th Street, unless they changed the exit. If you exit at 31st Street you are already on Wentworth, and from there you'd proceed down past 35th ... or do I have the two exits messed up in my mind? One quick note... when you get onto the Ryan, DO NOT GO INTO THE EXPRESS LANES. Stay in the local lanes or you will not be able to get off at 35th street. KEEP RIGHT!!!

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/11915527.htm And you thought Durbin had harsh words. In all seriousness though does anyone on here know anything about the Devil's Lake project. Because Canadians are very very concerned. Never heard of it, but it is funny to hear the Canadians threaten the US economically as their economy is utterly dependant on the US consumers. Heck we should just cut of their US subsidized medicines and see how long they last.

Call me bored today...
