QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) No its not nice to call people out that are not able to think on themselves..Now take Tex..he just mad about comments I made last off season that proved him wrong.. ??? I have no idea what you are talking about. I am flattered you remember a thread from the off season that I responded to. But to be honest, I didn't even recognize your screen name. I do know that after 35 years as a Sox fan, I enjoyed this season tremendously, and that is a successful season in my book. This is entertainment, not life and death, I've seen enough of that. I have watched too many people achieve goals and reach new heights, without winning the whole thing, to know what success and failure is. Each and everyone of them were successes, not failures, in my book. To think that only the final person standing is a success and everyone else is a failure, is wrong in my book. Every kid that learns to ride a bike is a success, whether he wins the Tour de France or not. Every shy kid who takes 6 months to ask a special girl out is a success, whether she says yes or not, and it especially doesn't matter if they marry or not. So I reject your truth that this team needs to win the WS or else the season is a failure.

The Rally Crede decided to not waste his time and talents on some posters here . . .

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) It's against the new rules to call somebody an "idiot"...right? Just want to make sure before I do so. Go ahead and call me an idiot, I don't mind

Babe Ruth was really pointing to the Rally Crede when he hit that homerun.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) Yes, Sorry to burst your bubble but nothing less than a world Title is Failure. If we win a couple World Series Titles you will understand what I mean..

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) First off I know I am not liked around here becuase well I speak the truth.. With that said here is more of it.. Unless we win the series, the season is a failure.. Yeah Whoopie we made it, who cares.. Win the damn thing..yeah we have not been here in 45+ years. But, we are here win it and plan on next year to win it again. For those who think that it is okay to just be there.. You have accepted failure. Never Settle for anything less than a Championship.. With that Said.. Let win this thing... This is the kind of consistency that Sox fans want out of Mariotti. Yes Anthrax you do speak the truth as you believe it. Let me offer a little more truth, After they win this, you'll complain they didn't repeat, then three peat. Actually the more I think about it, I will bow to your expertise in the area of failure. You seem to have a better grasp and know more about the subject. BTW, do you consider your post a failure becuase (sic) words were misspelled and no one agrees with you?

I was looking at the practice picks on chisox.com and seeing the winter hats and heavy sweatshirts made me laugh. I'm in shorts and hoping for some cooler weather. I'm going to believe it when I see the opening pitch, the field decorated, etc. Until then, I can't even grasp winning or losing the series. Unchartered territory here. It does feel more like the first Bulls run when there was doubt which team was better, or the Hawks of that same era. The Penguins looked tough and proved it. It is not like the Bears when it wasn't a matter of if, but of how much, they would win by. QP, have you had the seamstress sew a WS patch on the wedding gown? Thinking of dumping ther tiara in favor of a WS Championship cap SHow us you're a real fan.

Since moving down here, I have stopped following much football. The Cowboys had some teams that were brutal to cheer for. Half were on parole, the other couldn't leave the state. I have really enjoyed the Spurs because of David Robinson and Dunkin. Quality guys. I like how they go to work. Of course if the Bulls get hot, I have plenty of Bulls stuff so I can jump on that bandwagon in a heartbeat. I'm following my local hockey team, the Killer Bees, although I can't help but peak at the Hawk's results.

My Chicago sports interest and viewing schedule has always been, when the Bulls season ended, I'd flip over and see how the Sox were doing. When it became obvious that the Sox chances were over, I'd start watching the Bears. When the Bears season ended, I would contentrate on the Bulls. It's frickin' October 21 and I have no idea what the Bears have been doing! That is sooo coool.

I think this would be an excellent time to discuss this year's college football season. 45-12 This will be where Oklahoma gets all nostalgic and bringing up the distant past.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) I highly doubt we'll see any of the 3 writing a book about the three of them or any s*** like that, where as Damon wrote a damn book about the '04 Bo Sox. AJ, it's your agent. A guy from Random House called, he's offering $1.3 mil for a book. They have a ghost writer all lined up. You need to spend a weekend with the guy, give him some stories, then probably a few more days over the next 6-months, what do you think? Does AJ reply . . . I'm no Johnny Damon, tell them to stuff the money or Hell yes for $1.3 million.

I'm not necessarily asking for predictions. But as of today, results of the series haven't really entered my mind. With so many games to be played it just doesn't feel like winning or losing is within sight.

Bam, Bam, Wilma Turns Town to Rubble Thought I'd get that out there.

Good call on Just Shoot Me. I really like Spade, that was a great role for him. Friends wore thin on me fast. Too much angst and feelings and stuff for my comedic taste. And there wasn't enough meat for a drama. Raymond I got into during syndication. I was watching every night until they went to Italy, then it kind of jumped the shark for me. Cheers fell apart after Sam sold the bar. But it was struggling before so it may have played itself out. Didn't see the humor in 3rd Rock? They were aliens. Those that enjoyed the show always caught the humor in the men's names. Those that didn't get the show, never caught on.

The Rally Crede can eat pretzels without choking.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Havent you heard Tex? The people who preach tolerance the loudest seem to have none for views that contradict their own. Wow Nuke criticizes Republicans? Now I've read everything.

Actually winning the World Series hasn't quite crossed my mind yet. Even with many analysts picking the Sox.

QUOTE(thatballhitdeep @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 06:54 AM) Holy Crap!!!! Is this heaven???? I just spent about 30 minutes reading articles about the Sox in today's USA Today. That's the most ink they have gotten from that paper in 80 some years. This could be the best morning of my life.....well, I say that now but we'll see after the series. I was going to say you read slow, they I noticed you were north of the Red River. 30 minutes would be fast by Oklahoma standards. I'm frightened by all the media I see picking the Sox. I much prefer days of we're going to lose to "it could be a sweep".

The Rally Crede never stops and asks for directions.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2005 -> 06:25 AM) And the Rally Crede said "thou shalt have no other idols above me, or I shall strike you down, and return you to earth in the most horrible form possible. Thou shalt be known as 'Cub fan'." And then the Rally Crede made it so. And from the earth sprung the two most hideous horrible creatures the Rally Crede could imagine. Then the Rally Crede said "I shall call you 'Steve Bartman' and I shall call you 'Ron Santo'." Let's play two today!

I have always had a very positive image about the Cardinal organization. It feels right that he should retire in a Card's uniform.

AJ doesn't only help the pitchers, he helps the position guys. Could AJ be the Rally Crede in disguise?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Oct 20, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) if you dont have a ticket for the games you cant go within 2 blocks of the stadium because they are worried about terrorist attacks. Me and my friends were planning on going to the parking lot to tailgate sunday. DOes anyone know if this means we cant , or can we get a parking pass or something Sources close to me say, nope, you are not getting within 2 blocks without a game ticket.

I remembered it. First off, it hasn't been put into effect, so this is speculation. Second, it says becomming a Priest, nothing about those that are already a Priest. If the 50% figure is accurate, barring gay Priests would cripple the Church. There is already a severe shortage of Priests. The days of a small Parish having two Priests is long gone, even large Churches have a difficult time keeping two Priests on staff.
