There's nothing Brooks Boyer could do about the crappy system ticketmaster uses except perhaps moving to get the Sox off ticketmaster, but then you are going to have the same problems at other sites. Scalpers have inside people everywhere they need them, and know all the tricks. I just find it funny that you are on ticketmaster and they say your wait is less than 1 minute, on the same screen it says don't refresh or hit the back button or you will lose your place in line, and then 32 minutes later it says you have a 15 minute or more wait. Someone is screwing with the system. Considering how quickly tickets sell out on the internet, unless you are very close to the front of the line at the box office, you aren't going to get anything there either, that's why I agree with the decision not to sell them there. It would lead to a lot of people sleeping out only to get shut out.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) thats bulls***. Whitesox.com just interviewd him a month ago and he said he is a die hard sox fan. He told Arroyo infact that if the Sox played the Red Sox he would be all the way for the Sox. He is friends with the Arroyo though. In fact when he sung the the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley this year he said "root root root for the White Sox." No he didn't sing root, root root for the White Sox. The guy is a fake. He's a fan of whatever team gives him a freebie or some free publicity, and who cares anyway? He's a crappy actor who will be nothing once that dumb show leaves the airwaves in a couple years.

Ticketmaster blows. How does it go from an approximate wait time of 3 minutes to 15 or more 30 minutes later? How do you lose you place in line if its not being f***ed with?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) With Picasso, Roseannes TV sister, Ray f***in' Rayner, and the guy who wrote A Christmans Story?!? I THINK NOT!!! That's right. How can any list be sad if it includes Ray Rayner?

I must say my friend who I share season tickets with and I have got to be close to a honorary membership to the Ms. Cleo society. Before Tuesday's game as I was walking to meet my buddy to go to the game, my brother who lives in Europe called me, giddy that he would be able to see the game live. He asked my what I thought, and I told him Clement sucks, the Sox will rip him apart. On the way to the game as we were stuck in traffic my buddy announced Pods would hit his first homer of the season. During the first inning when AJ tried to bunt and it went foul, the guy sitting next to me said how much he loved the attempted bunt. I told him it was bad, Clement was throwing up some meatballs, AJ could take him into the left centerfield seats. Next pitch, you know what happens. During the 5th inning last night we all were talking how that 3rd run was huge, and when Pods popped up there was a resignation that the run probably wouldn't score, but then we tried positive energy with Iguchi saying stuff like he gets nothing but big hits and Wells would be lucky to keep him in the park. Of course when he hit it we just went crazy.

The Sox offense needs to avoid the derailment that often occurs after an explosion like yesterday. If you remember the Cubs series the Sox won the first game something like 12-2, and then had a tough time scoring the rest of the weekend. Wells can be lit up.

Its a tough match up for Buerhle. They seem to have his number, but it is the playoffs. Hopefully he'll be at his best.

Doesn't JR own the Bulls? Why does huge Bulls news come out when the Sox are in the playoffs? Jordan retired in 93, now this.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) He says it is shocking who we are trading... I'm scared I have a feeling Gordon or Hinrich is involved, and Marbury or Richardson may be involved.

Curry's a dog. Good riddance. It takes playing for a contract to get him to get in shape. Larry Brown is going to be in a straight jacket after about 30 games with Crawford and Curry.

When you don't trot out your entire A team for a game, how can you expect another team to do so? Mussina was not starting, so he could be ready for GM 1. Giambi was out of the line-up. So while I agree with the argument teams should play at least most of their regulars when the game means something to someone, the Yankees didn't even do it. f*** them.

Where would he play?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 2, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) He was on the Jays in 93 too. Rickey Henderson was on the M's in 2000 and Jays in '93, but I guess Boston has no need for him. Rickey says, "If you want to beat the White Sox, you betta have Rickey on yo team." -- WHITE SOX WINNER . Rickey's greatest quote and I swear I heard him say this on television., "when I'm injury, I'm totally concentrated of my mind."

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I saw that Black Jack will be doing Sox playoff postgame this year which brought back some memories. Unfortunately, I need a refresher. 1. I remember Black Jack used to be friendly with a 90's rock band. As I recall, he jammed with them on occasion. Who was the band? I seem to think Pearl Jam but I might be wrong. 2. Black Jack's band also include several other major leaguers including another White Sox player. I recall Scott Radinsky, I am right? Left hand reliever Wayne Edwards was in one of Black Jack's bands.

I hope Ozzie puts the regular line-up in tomorrow, and not for the wild card race sake. The Sox are a team that can't just turn it on and off on offense, and its possible they will have both Monday and Tuesday off if Cleve/NY/Bos finish in a tie.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) Maybe we should bring up the rest of the 40 man to pitch tomorrow..... Activate Kevin Hickey

Cleveland not beating this line-up has to be a morale buster. It could be time for the golf clubs for the Indians.

That's the Jeff Leifer I remember, although I went to Yankee Stadium 3 years ago for my birthday and Leifer hit one half way up the right field upper deck.

WHY DOESN'T GLOAD PLAY EVERYDAY?

QUOTE(chisoxt @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) I swear to God, How in the hell has Ozzie managed to win 96 games?? I'm no fan of Ozzie, but that wasn't his call.

QUOTE(Elcaballo45 @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) It's really amazing how many ways we find to not score with a man on 3rd less than 2 outs. I wonder if we've covered every scenario yet. Its 3 times tonight, isn't it?

Why would Pods be bunting on his own with the infield in?
