QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) South shore... El.... whichever... I don't ride any of those so I have no idea... Careful where you tread... that's like saying Cubs/Sox whocares, its all Chicago baseball. But thanks for the idea.

Grades go A (90-100%), B (80-90%), C (70-80%) D (60-70%) and F (under 59%) BTW this was my favorite paragraph He got a 69 and 79 in Poly Sci, and got a 77 in French of all classes

Happy Birthday Gash!!!!

What message are you getting?

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) It's a good point. I just want this team to go for the kill when it has the chance. But Ozzie doesn't always do it. In Game 3 at Wrigley, he did put his best line up out there behind BMac. Hopefully our B team can get a sweep soon. The point is then you get to September and fold because your starters are burned out, and your bench is rusty. Samething goes for the pen.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) Yeah, I know. It should have been green. My cousin works for the railroad, so I know what pantagraphs are, and yes, I'm Catholic. Clever, but how many know what "those electric thingys on top of the train" are called? Me I probably should have gotten that, but you never know. Personally I liked the obscurity of the name, and the joke that as a South Shore commuter, you get to skip pergatory because you have already been there. If anyone has other cool name ideas, feel free to contribute. And mreye, if you are interested, I would love to have you as one of the posters to the blog. Nothing big, just when you see something funny, ironic, or entertaining, post it. It doesn't have to be an everyday thing or anything.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) I'm from Indiana. I don't know what those words mean. The Pantagraphs are the metal things on top of the SS train that connect the train to the overhead wires. You're Catholic right? You should know what Pergatory is...

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) Sounds cool. BTW, what do you all think of the name "Pantagraphs to Pergatory"?

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) Geek! BTW, let me know when it's up. I want to try to do the same idea as those other two, the overheard in NY and this one from the CTA CTA Tattler, except having more stuff about the stupid conversations we have, and how many muggles we offend and run off. It has become almost a contest for us. I also want to get as many SS commuters as possible to contribute, that way we can cover as many trains as possible.

Its worth noting again, that this is the first time in the history of interleague play that an AL pitcher threw a two hitter in Denver.

For those who are interested, we are having a contest to guess when Soxtalk will get to a million posts. Deadline to enter is Friday http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34678&st=0

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 08:07 AM) I dunno if this is what you're talking about, but Soxy and a couple others I think have posted quips from the Overheard in NY site. That might be it. Thanks Jim

Good to hear Jim... Get healthy and get up there and rescue the Knights!!!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) Losses are magnified? LOL Around here we put every loss under a Scanning Electron Microscope. Wins too.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Buffalo Chicken Basket from DQ. I get a 50% discount and sneak as many as I want. Friend, buddy, pal...

LMFAO!!!

To put this game in perspective, no AL team in the history of interleague play has ever pitched a two hitter in Denver. Freddy was f***ing awesome.

Some friends and I are thinking of setting up a comedic style commuter blog for people who ride the South Shore train into Chicago. I wanted to show them a couple different blogs, but I only have the link to the CTA one. I seem to remember that there was a pretty excellent one for New York City, and if anyone has a link and/or a name, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) is this the first meeting ever between these two teams? Yes it is. Also will be the first meeting with the Padres. The Sox have met the Dodgers once in the 59 World Series

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) I think this is the best point anyone has made for any side of the argument. SS, Milkman I think you two are great posters, you guys are both posters That I actually read posts from. I didn't mean to step on either of your toes. I guess I like the sox too much for my own good. My grandfather got me into baseball when I was four and It formed a bond that I now have with my younger siblings. (The bonds I formed were priceless to me) I hope have the same bond one day with kids and grandchildren. The white sox are priceless to me. Please don't be under the impression that I am a rich snob. I'm not. I'm 23, I was raised middle class. I have been on my own since I was 19. I am still establishing myself now but do pretty good compared to what I was doing in my late teens. I understand what $100,000 means. Once again Please accept my apologies. Its cool dude. To each his own

Without a doubt, Gary Glover is not better than any pitcher we have on our staff right now, and probably not better than at least our top two minor league relief options.

Tex you cheater!! I wanted to see what people knew off of the top of their heads... Way to ruin my thread

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) Sad news from the Rockies.... Wow, there might not be anything sadder than something happening to a child. Prayers go out to the whole Hurdle family
