QUOTE(WCSox @ May 16, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) Don't look at me. I was just having a conversation with somebody about the size of the ballpark. Soxtalk should be above this I'm-a-bigger-fan-than-you crap. If you want that, go over to WSI. / agree

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 16, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) The Mets are kicking themselves in the ass for trading Kazmir for Victor Zambrano. Most likely, but wasn't that ESPN's own Steve Phillips who made the call? when i was watching the Cards Rockies game a while back i recall everyone in the booth ripping him for that.

This Ball Game is OVA, SPLIT!, PODS FTW

Joe "the show" Crede , # 8

Jenks brought the heat tonight, and Anderson looked good at the plate.

HOLY s***!, a triple play (sorry for being late)

QUOTE(Pastime @ May 13, 2006 -> 05:40 AM) That lineup looked sad against Johan Santana last night, but that's okay. The guy is a stud pitcher, and there's not many lineups who are going to do s*** against him. He's still nasty and unhittable when he's on his game, and he was on his game yesterday. I love that lineup, but Uribe and Anderson need to see a proctologist to help them remove their heads from their asses. If those two can ever get it going offensively, we will destroy the American League and leave them crying, bleeding, and begging for mercy. i think brian put some quality ABs togeather, he got the only walk from Johan, and then his next time faceing him, he battled in a 3-2count for a bit and lost, personally im pretty happy with how hes going about his ABs.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ May 11, 2006 -> 11:52 AM) I disagree. I think the Cubs are iconic in Chicago, like the lakefront or Michigan Ave. And trust me, I hate the Cubs. Even moreso their fans. Attendance-wise you're right, it has historically been cyclical, but think about it: the Cubs are in a win/win position. If they suck for years ahead (as they apparently will), they bank on that whole "loveable loser" mystique. If they somehow get in the running, then it becomes the whole "curse-ending" attraction. Or, even the fact that we won it and they haven't. Me personally I do not want the Sox to become Cubs-like in attendance. No, that does not mean I want a return to 14,000 paid games because I'm some nostalgist who's bitter that the bandwagon showed up, and it's apparently pretty damn full. Let me put it this way: I like being the Stones to their Beatles. Dig? However, I could be wrong. Let's make it a gentleman's bet. I say that, in the next decade, the Sox will never surpass the Cubs no matter how many WS we win. Also factor in the idea that, regardless of the team... location, location, location. Are we on? ill take that bet , Personally i don't feel the "cubs" are iconic to Chicago, Wrigley Field is iconic to Chicago and as you've stated it has too do soley with the atmosphere. Secondly the seeds for the next generation of fans have/are already being planted, little kids will remember the White Sox winning their first World Series title in 88 years and the giant parade that followed, more so than watching people getting drunk in the bleachers and checking out cute girls. Honestly i think if the sox can continue to get into the post season the tide will change, and regardless of what happens im fine with it. All of us grew up with this team and have lived through the strike/manuel years so if we do surpass the cubs and become the headlineing baseball team in Chicago thats great it puts more money back into the team, and at the end of the day im all about that.

cancel the post-game show

man.... these are some close calls....

quick 0-2 count on kennedy

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 10, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) Wow, both 3-2 pitches were close QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 10, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Does Santana look good so far or do we just look like crap? it could be both.

Dye strikes out, Santana is looking sharp

1 pitch one out

1-2-3, with a K nice, that last knuckle ball danced

another pop up

nice, jams rivera with the knuckler

man that pitch is high

Thome strikes out

Iguchi with the 2-0 count
