    Alternate Transportation to Get to Game

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Ok I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this but I need some help. I have two tickets to the game on Friday and I'm going with my 14 year old cousin. I just found out I'm not going to have a car available to drive to the game, so I was wondering if anyone knew of alternate ways to get to the game that would be safe. I live in Orland Park which is in the south suburbs for those of you who don't know. Thanks for any help.

    Here's to Frank Thomas.

    Here's my opinion on Frank and the whole issue:

     

    Frank Thomas has been one of the few clean power hitters during the Steroid Era as well as a leader in the movement to get steroids out of baseball. In 1992 through about 1995 he was arguably the best hitter in baseball, however other players began taking steroids and belting out 40, 50, 60 home runs like it was nothing, while Thomas suffered through an array of injuries during the time while all these other players were becoming superstars because of their seemingly amazing feats. Thomas has managed to hit 500+ home runs over his career howver because of the abundance of players that are doing that now because of the juice he is somehow not even considered a first ballot hall of famer by many. How would you feel if you did something completely clean, yet YOU were the one being punished because you didn't cheat? This is the predicament Thomas faces and I think we should all comend him for doing it the right way, and if he is not a first ballot hall of famer that would be a true symbol of everything that has been wrong with baseball during this time, it's not the ones who cheated getting punished, it's the ones who were clean.

    Looks like they did a real quality job this year. Here's what Flash posted as the projected 2007 standings:

    Nailed the NL East; undersold Cleveland and 'oversold' Minny; undersold both LAA and Seattle but still had the Angels atop the West; nailed Philly over the Mets; nailed the NL Central; nailed Arizona and San Diego while underselling Colorado. Damn. That's impressive.

     

     

     

     

    wow why even bother playing the season, BP can tell us the standings before the season starts. That is really impressive.

    Is this the worst year in your Soxfandom?

    I'm only 17 and I don't remember much before the 2000 season so I only have about 8 years to go off of and i would say it is a toss up between this year and 03. This year at least I was able to give up in June and know we had no chance. 2003 was AWFUL! If you look back on that team they were LOADED with talent and lost to what i consider a crappy Twins team (talent wise). That team teased all season long and then fell flat on their faces, and on top of that the Cubs won their division. I believe the only reason that team missed the playoffs was because of poor fundementals and a lack of will to win, and that falls squarely on the manager. FU Manuel

    Fields = a cheaper Crede with no back problems

    Here's what I would do for next year:

     

    CF Free Agent

    RF Jerry Owens/Ryan Sweeney

    LF Josh Fields

    1B Pual Konerko

    2B Free Agent/Trade

    SS Free Agent/Trade

    3B Crede

    DH Thome

     

    Let's face it KW has a ton of work to do his sitting around the last year and a half has caused many holes in this team and getting rid of Crede would just create more holes
