QUOTE(FGarcia34 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) Oh I'm still going because I want to be with a giant group of diehard sox fans to see these games. I was just saying that 15 bucks is alittle much for not too much effort on the White Sox/United Center's behalf. It may be filled with celebrities looking to get their picture on the news. Damn bandwagon jumpers grabing all the good seats.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 06:38 AM) At least we know she will always have a seat on the front of the bus in heaven. RIP Rosa. Or the back if she chooses. And isn't that the key to happiness and equality, having choices?

Could this be a ploy to look heroic when he comes out to the mound? The bloody t-shirt?

Sox fans only respect sports guys that kiss our asses and love all things Sox. Everyone who ever, even once, dares to utter or print a negative is an idiot, moron. You would think will all those WS championships we would get picked every year, but sadly it takes some guys too long to catch on. Of course then they are bandwagon jumpers.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Fast track to Hell but: She's going to have to ride in the back of the hearse no matter how much protest there is. /punches.ticket But in all seriousness, America has lost a wonderful human being. laughing all the way . . . At least I'm going to be with friends on the way to hell.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) You will never regret it, in fact by doing so you will be wiser than you can ever fathom. Believe in the power of the Rally Crede. Amen.

RIP Amazing how an ordinary person can achieve extraordinary immortality in an ordinary way.

Hmmm, the computers like Texas, the humans USC. I didn't think games played last year should count, so them being on top for all those weeks seems wrong, if what is keeping them on tip is the fact they have been on top all those weeks. It becomes a self fulfilling event.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) The Rally Crede loves it when someone Tadahito's his Iguchi.

I'll be pulling for them to make the WS. Because the Rally Crede told me that the Cubs only win today, to make losing tomorrow, that much more painful.

Damn, I'm on the losing end in Texas, again . . .

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) Is it safe to say that Podsednik's homer was the biggest homer ever hit by a Chicago team? In October

Rally Crede creeps into Cub fan's homes at night, and causes them nightmares of victory parades in Grant Park . . .

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) Lincoln quotes: "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it." "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless." "In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book." "The will of God prevails. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be, wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time. In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party - and yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect His purpose." "Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered; that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes." Nixon, "I am not a crook" Clinton,"I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Truman, "The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, in so far as possible, the killing of civilians." Reagan, "We did not -- repeat -- did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages -- nor will we." I love playing Presidential quotes.

QUOTE(Wiredawg1 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) Some positive input here from a Tribe fan. You guys look pretty much like a lock to get it done after last night. That was a pretty much a coffin nail for the Stros i'm thinking. They all looked stunned by that shot. I couldn't believe that Qualls was stupid enough to throw a dead red fastball over the high part of the plate to Kenerko. Props to Paul for a very clutch hit. I know you guys are all riding high right now, and I hope you remember this note. All Tribe fans are not buttholes. I for one would take some comfort in knowing that we got eliminated at least by the team that is looking like they're going to take the whole tamale. Good luck, and it's damn cool that a team from the Central is showing some serious heart for a change. WD Wiredawg, how cool you came back. I remember at the end of the season you had doubts about how well the Sox would compete and that the Indians would do better. I hoped you'd drop by. Every team has some hardcore fans that are great baseball people. Then there are the buttholes who identify themselves as fans that we all are embarrassed for. Ours tend to find their way onto the field, without shirts, and needing an attorney We know they aren't real fans . . . Keep stopping by and letting us know Indians news.

If Oz really wants to quit, I'd rather he quit, than stay and be half hearted about it. I'd bump Joey "windmill" Cora up. I'd be much, much, more worried if I heard Cooper's name mentioned as wanting to leave.

QUOTE(HineyBird @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) After the Bears game last night I stopped off in Hammond to watch sox game. There were a few guys from Houston that are working on I-90 were at the bar I was at. These dudes were very knowledgeable fans and very good sports. After Jenks gave up the single in the ninth to bring in the two runs they bought my buddy and my self beers telling us tough luck. I was happy to return the favor just minutes later. Houston has some good fans, too bad we gotta beat'em and win our first title since 1917. I'll bet every team has a core of decent, good baseball fans, that enjoy the game and can be fun to watch the game with. It's the bozos like 1/2 of Wrigley on a weekend, or the idiots that run out on the field during Sox games that people notice.

QUOTE(Art Vandelay @ Oct 23, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) I totally agree with Seinfeld (gee, there's a shocker, huh?) And I'm sorry but Frasier was f***ing hilarious. But I admit, you had to have some patience in the early going as the characters developed. It ended up being about two psychiatrists who acted all snobby and worldly but ultimately had only book smarts, leaving a lot to be desired in the "street smarts" department. That made for some really funny situations in which the people around them brought them back down to earth and humbled them. It won many awards, and very deservedly, IMO. But, that's why we all have our own opinions. The world would be a pretty f***ing boring place if we all liked the same things!! I'd even let you hold the remote. was that gay?

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) I didn't hear what actually happened to the balls... someone earlier said the ball catchers gave them to the team... but the thing to remember when catching milestone balls is... more often than not once you leave the stadium the ball is worthless... world series balls may be different, like when bonds was chasing 700 they put a chip in it or something... but unless the team/league authenticates the ball, it is worthless... How did they differentiate between that exact ball? They would have to know which one was in play for that pitch.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:22 PM) Excuse me? Have you ever been to a gay bar? Most have way better taste than that! Well have you Mercy!?

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) I have been thinking about it for Wednesday since I will be off work Thursday and Friday. Either that or have my aunts over again and order a pizza. Always with the Aunts? The only two people that spend more time with ladies around here is Jas and Mercy!

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) If Kenny and Jerry are serious about keeping this team of winners intact then they will spend what it takes to keep Frank and Paulie here. Kenny and Jerry have to say that. Actions speak much louder than words.

I used my celebrity status to get a ticket to last night's game. The telecast was great.
