OCab throws a 3 hopper to Konerko to barely beat the runner... "as Cabrera does that intentionally" -DJ DJ, the 5 year olds watching have gone to bed, kill yourself.

I got caught drinking a beer with my buddy in the lot on Freddy Garcia's first home start for the white sox in 2004. We were both 20 at the time, bike guy carded us, got real mad, ripped up our tickets and made us drive out of the parking lot. Happened to be a half price night, so I just turned right back into the lot and we went and bought 2 more tix.

QUOTE (DonnyDevito @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) black is the best color to wear in April because it attracts the suns' heat. Chicago will wear out the white pin stripes during the summer. the classy smooth greys will be sported steadily on the road as the year progresses. just wait till it heats up and then we won't see the blacks nearly as much. It sounds like the grey uniforms are really underrated on here. nobody is talking about them except for the OP. I agree, the grey roads are my favorite and it's really not even close for me. Only Sox jersey I own is a road Ventura. I've considered buying more, but it's like man, this road Ventura jersey is too good looking to not wear to every game I attend. The blacks are ok every so often, the vest uni was a joke, glad it's gone.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) Gameday is just being slow. Jenks has a couple strikes on Hafner already. 1-2 count, couple of 2 strike curves fouled off. Gameday was unbearable for me today, switched over to Sportsline GameCenter, going nice.

Good stuff out of Danks today though, hopefully he can maintain it for the entire season. Really like this kid.

QUOTE(BurlyMan56 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) JD all season long will make get rid of the stereotype that all black men can run The last few seasons I would compare Dye's running to two days after the first time anybody does squats. Each step painful and labored, not good.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) This is an odd question to ask here but..... For you business people: I got an interview today at 2, I have a 3 button suit, do I button the top 2? Middle only? I'm kinda stumped. Figured I'd get quickest response in this thread thanks. Top 2, never middle only. Good luck, I have one tomorrow...

QUOTE(JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) Why isn't Ramirez batting 9th? I dont want Crede and Uribe hitting behind him, he will be stranded on base everytime. Put Alexei 9th, and let him get on base for Swisher or Cabrera to send him around the bases. Because he's Alfonso Soriano

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) You are correct on all counts, I knew it was built in the 50's or 60's, but there have been 3 or 4 alterations of the building on that site since the school opened in the 1890's, as far as I'm aware. In other news, what has been clear to us hear in DeKalb almost since it happened is now being admitted by the investigators: the sicko did all he could to hide any signs of a motive. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/c...0,2846139.story I take back feeling bad for the girlfriend after reading this information. The news of him hiding the computer hard drive had been known almost since the beginning, but I wasn't aware he removed his cell phone chip (don't even know how you would go at doing that). One thing is clear though, the fact he did all of this to hide a motive, as well as drove up here to do the shooting, proves there clearly was a blatant motive. And that last setence, in bold, is another case of burying the lead. Who was the girl at the back of the auditorium? Why did the writer just randomly mention it in the last sentence? This girlfriend, between the CNN interview and now this, must be considered at least suspecious. Hmm, yeah have to agree that last quote is quite suspicious. And so is this girlfriend. I remember reading that she received a "goodbye" phonecall from him before he did all this. Seems to me like if somebody I was in any relationship with called to say "goodbye" I would frantically try to find out what they meant by that. Some phones have a SIM card in the back when you take off the battery cover, it's so you can switch it in different phones and still keep all your saved numbers etc. I'm pretty sure many phones don't have them. This whole thing makes no sense. We're all pretty sure he didn't know anybody in that class. It doesn't seem like he would have a grudge with anybody in there. Then again I guess this will probably never make any sense.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 7, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) A major problem? I disagree. I just wish people were as tolerant of guys like Fields and the Royals' Mike Sweeney who care about their faith, as much as big leaguers being tolerant of those who love to get drunk, cheat on their wives, etc. God is good; so is going out and getting hammered once in a while. People need to be tolerant of all types, even in locker rooms. "God is Not Great How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens....a book I think everyone should read

I would not be surprised one bit if Thome was on the list. Young Jim

QUOTE(spiderman @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 09:45 AM) This sounds like the White Sox are just trying to make a splash now, and what better way than to bring back Rowand. Get Eric Bedard. I'm so fed up with KW getting fleeced in deals, hate to bring up stuff that happened way too long ago, but Rowand never should have left this team in the first place. The Philies had no friggen room for Thome, guy should have been had for 2 or 3 prospects. Every other GM in baseball can make these deal, which is why KSmug needs to go away. Renteria got traded for prospects, and we give up Garland for OCab, guy overpaid simple as that. Detroit has shown me how a decent baseball organization should be run. As Sox fans, to expect any less than what a team in DETROIT f'ing Michigan can do from our baseball club is ludicrous.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 11:26 PM) Still wanna defend Ozzie there? Owens proves he can make the battery of Borowski/Martinez look like the girls from A League of Their Own, but Ozzie hasn't even let him attempt to get into second with nobody out. I can't take this trash anymore, this game should be over. You take the bat out of your hottest hitters' hands, when clearly Owens can steal 2nd. Let Owens run, then have Josh bunt him over, then you have a sac fly, or even a squeeze at the very least. What ever happened to Ozzie having a pair. If only Steve Stone was dumb enough to take a managing job.

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 08:08 PM) Yeah, I'm still kind of amazed that Providence didn't roll through the state tourney with those two on the mound. Just days after Kris signed with the Sox, I played in the the Catholic League All-Star game (which the Sox didn't allow Kris to play in of course) and there were some stories about how he may have let some of the press and accolades get to his head. I don't know Kris, so I'm not sure if any of that is true, but it's definitely understandable. Anyway, I'd love to see Pignatello and Cesar make it and be successful in the bigs some day. He was the typical cocky jock. Dumped his long term GF right after he signed, cant remember how much his bonus was, but quite sure it made him a millionaire. He also had a "K" tattooed on his right shoulder, and it wasn't because his name started with a K. Oh yeah he also used to carry around a baseball bat in the hallways. Pretty much sums up all I can remember from high school.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 09:18 PM) What happened with Haeger? He was head hunting with 68 mph knucklers and got tossed

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) I'm the same age as Kris and we faced one another our senior year of high school. My team actually had Cesar Carrillo take the mound against him, so that game was a scout's dream. Anyway, Honel had easily the nastiest stuff I've ever seen, and having played in the Catholic League, I saw Gorzelany, Pignatello, Bogusevic, and Keefner who were all highly regarded. It's a shame he injuries got the best of him because I think he'd have been a pretty good major league pitcher. I went to Providence with Honel and Pignatiello. Those two as your 1 and 1a, figured we would have won a state title. Ahh anyway, bad breaks for Honel both physically and mentally was what I have heard. Back when Honel led the league in strikeouts I always thought it'd be cool that I went to the same high school as a Sox pitcher at the same time he did. Oh well. But hey, Carmen is doing pretty good for Iowa, maybe he'll get called up and the Sox can rock him next year.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 10:14 AM) I'm so freaking happy I could almost cry Haha, I was just about to make a post about how I'm nearly welling up in my cube right now. Hopefully this is all true, and it's just another example of why we love Mark so much. In the grand scheme of things, he's still a very rich man. All I can say now is please be true.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) Yeah, this. I hope they keep Singleton around, I like how he doesn't seem to take the game too seriously and brings a bit of very odd humor to the booth unlike Farmer who comes off as an arrogant ass. I've said it before and I'll say it again, a Darrin Jackson/Chris Singleton booth would be the most entertaining announcing team in baseball. I'd rather eat glass then listen to those two morons. Singleton needs a chance blah blah blah, he completely unnatural and annoying. He has all game to say anything he wants, he doesn't make a good impression with most people on here now, putting him in with another bumbling moron doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

QUOTE(Allsox @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Don't get me started about that douchebag's salary. Because of it, the Score couldn't throw anything but peanuts to John Rooney after the '05 season, hence, losing one of the greatest play-by-play announcers this town ever had. I will always blame Mike North for that loss and nothing anybody says will convince me otherwise. How about the fact that the radio and tv announcers are employees of The Chicago White Sox. Mike North's salary at the Score had absolutely zero impact on John Rooney's contract negotiations.

Paging Mr. Rowand.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 03:16 AM) To be perfectly honest and 100% serious, I basically have no memories of Foulke as a Sox player. It's almost as if he never existed. He never did anything, good or bad, that stuck in my memory. Is that weird? 97 saves in 5 years. Impressive considering he was only the closer for a little over 2 years before Manuel started dicking around with the closing situation. I remember feeling sick to my stomach when Jerry removed Keith from the closers role, leading to his eventual trade to Oakland. (Where he had a stellar year) I also remember that big fat guy that used to be visible and audible behind the plate on every home game broadcast could be heard yelling out, "FASTBALL, CHANGEUP, CHANGEUP, FASTBALL" when Foulke would pitch.
