Fock. Let the kids play the rest of the season. screw the starters.

Good night Gracie. I don't have enough alcohol in the house to make it through the rest of this joke of a game. Way to get up for the do-or-die series White Sox.

Good thing Magglio was tired out from hitting all those homers off Mark.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) How incredibly lame. I'm telling you guys after about a 12 pack the female bowlers start looking pretty decent out there. Can any of 'em hit worth a lick?

Son of a b****.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 10:10 PM) UGH!!! I need another beer.... Sweet numbing alcohol. That has been my approach to this team for the last two weeks or so.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) Hopefully, this will be the last homestand that Scott Podsednik wears a White Sox uniform. Barring a miraculous post-season appearance, I think it's a guarantee.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) In your people's opinions...how long do I have to wait before Pearl Jam and Nirvana's first albums are considered classic rock? Already there. Ditto for the first Counting Crows and Black Crowes albums I'd say.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) If I was on a deserted island, and could only have one band, I'd take the Who If you were stranded on the Sands of the Isle of Man, maybe.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Danish Hot Dog Sauce. Clearly. It's specifically created for the Hot Dog. What are you, savages? We just recycle the same old thread topics around here once a year or so, don't we? My, look at the time. There should be a disturbing Grimace thread popping up any day now.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Link The two sides have feuded ever since with defenders saying he did everything possible to help Jews and critics presenting him as an anti-Semite and Germanophile whose views were formed while working in Germany before his election as pope. I don't know about the anti-Semite charge, but the blind-eye turned by the Vatican regarding the Holocaust is among the darkest periods in the modern history of the Roman Catholic Church.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) Good for Hawk. I suspect this qualifies as throwing the manager and team under the bus. Take note Ozzie, you are going to hear a lot of this all off season. That's why the price for Soxfest is so higgh this year - self defense!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) FWIW, I did try to only place songs that charted (or at least that were popular) in my original list, although I did have to like the songs as well (therefore no Peter Frampton). Yep, and I was trying to follow in that mold. And Frampton will not be found on my list either. I need a Stones tune, so I think Shattered would make the cut. Onne of their songs that charted that I still get a kick out of when I hear it. All this chitterchatter chitterchatter chitterchatter 'bout shmatta shmatta shmatta. . . I can't give it away on 7th avenue. This towns been wearing tatters. . . Need a Who tune in there as well, and that's a tough call if we need a chart-topper. I'll give the nod to Who Are You I think. Not my absolute favorite, but a great composition by Pete, top-notch Roger vocals and Entwhistle spider basslines, and certainly Keith went out on a high note with that one. And my installment list continues. . .

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) You a basketball fan? I've pretty much become a one-sport devotee by design, because after slacking off on stuff for six months every year I need the next six months to catch up on everything!

If the ship is going down - and all indications are that it is - I'm going down with it. Boy, do I envy you people who like football and still have something to look forward to this off-season.

I haven't read the Sun Times article, but I think he pretty much nailed it in the booth during the game yesterday. I'm sure the front office dislikes it when he goes off like that, but it was long past time he hauled off on them collectively, imo.

To beef up my adult easy listening offerings I now know not to raid Tex's collection for fear of inducing a coma. Maybe Tex's grandma's collection might have some more zip to it. That said, I scared myself a week or so in the car when a Bee Gees song came on the radio and I didn't immediately flip the channel like I have been conditioned to do. So this is what middle-age looks like, huh Tex?

QUOTE(samclemens @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) if this is how people break a leg these days, hollywood has stooped to a new low. VERY low. I dunno. I never bothered to look into the LonelyGirl thing until it it was all coming undone, but these days it would be silly for Hollywood producers NOT to exploit the various "new media" outlets for all they are worth. It has been a fact for a couple of years now that a cult internet following can hype a film like no other media mahine out there. Sure, in this case, there were only the sketchiest plans for a movie and what it would be, but it had built up a sizeable enough audience that the story of LonelyGirl "exposed" has been picked up by the national news and entertainment outlets. That's a pretty good viewer share, regardless of whether they have the ability to make something come of it.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) I'd agree to Day In The Life before I agree to anything by Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye is not Classic Rock. Marvin Gaye = just about perfection. My list: Guns N Roses - Welcome To The Jungle Scott Walker - 30th Century Man Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind The Beach Boys - Sail on Sailor Chicago - Beginnings REO Speedwagon - Riding The Storm Out (Live) Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson & Clover Iggy and the Stooges - Search and Destroy Ritchie Havens - Freedom Here's where I diverged from everyone on the approach to this the last time. My list of the Top 10 Classic Rock Sounds would not be the same as my list of my favorite 10 songe from that era. For me, cracking the charts at least would be the minimum requirement to make the classic rock top 10. Songs like FZ's Uncle Remus, and Genesis' Battle of Epping Forest would probably make the cut in my favorites from that era, but I wouldn't put them in the top 10 classics because they didn't chart. Of course there are no rules here, and I just tend to suck the fun out of everything, so nevermind. Carry on. Love most of the songs in that list, btw.

So when are those promotional guys from freehookersandbooze.com going to call back and give us some kind of deal like this?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) Why did Constantinople get the works? That's no body's business but the Turks. TMBG! My kids' favorite band.

iPods can sense if they are being forced to interface with any of that cheap iron wintel hardware, and then they give up and die. If you were using a Mac the iPod would be happy and wouldn't commit iSuicide.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) Now that was a sound, man! I remember when it used to be about the music for those hombres.

Pink Moon came up in my first shuffle too. What a loss. Like Big Star Nick Drake should be a staple for any music-minded person. Doing the Saturday Shuffle Little Bombs - Aimee Mann Red Wagon - Elwood Strawberry Fields Forever (Anthology Version) - Beatles Statesboro Blues - Roy Bookbinder Hand Job Cheese Sandwich - Bob and Tom Show Run Rudy Run - The Toasters Ring o Fire - Elvis CostelloWild Ox Moan - Big Sugar I Don't Mind - Buzzcocks Wait - Beatles South Central Rain - REM And since mine gors to eleven too: Into the Valley - The Skids

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 15, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Only a handful of responses? Disgraceful. The Guess Who -- No Time Badfinger -- No Matter What Deep Purple -- Perfect Strangers Bad Company -- Ready For Love Pink Floyd -- Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd -- Keep Talking Derek and the Dominoes -- Layla Simon and Garfunkel -- The Boxer Ten Years After -- I'd Love To Change The World Rolling Stones -- Gimme Shelter Oooh, No Matter What or Day After Day would make my list as well. I'd Love To Change The World probably just misses. I have to take my time putting my 10 together, letting all y'all do al the thinking for me.
