QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) By me, I"LL SAY! I usually left that stuff up to my ex. I mean, buying the condoms, not uh, oh nevermind. Anyway, Tex, this wasn't what you had in mind, I guess, but .................. After the Sox clinched, I was having some guilty pleasure reading the final game day thread at a pretty lame Angels message board, and got a good chuckle out of this exchange when the Angels brought in a relief pitcher: LOL, that is priceless.

He only won because the Rally Crede was ineligible.

The Rally Crede is never called late to supper

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Well, my foot fit into my dansko's today so I got to wear those to the Opera with my little ankle brace instead of air cast. What Opera did you see? What group?

A friend of mine calls me, she is doing a little research project and needed some jokes about condoms. For some strange reason she thought I just might know a couple. Where things became interesting was when she described her trip to the store and all the different styles. Now it has been along time since I've been in the market for condoms, I find my looks and personality are effective means of birth control.I arrive at the store and realize why I've never been down that aisle. One side is the bewildering array of feminine hygiene products to clean and maintain a (I believe the official soxtalk term is) cooter. The other side of the aisle seems to be for teenagers and hookers. That's where I am heading. Much to my surprise I see an old, even by my standards, man standing in front of the condoms. Now I am a little surprised to see an octogenarian looking over the selection, I'm guessing he's strolling through the park reminiscing. Then I see the continence products are conveniently displayed next to the condoms, how cruel and taunting I think. But then again if the old guy doesn't know if he's coming or going, this is handy. He leaves with his Depends and a 6 of Coors Lite, and I begin to review the selections. What the hell happened to condoms in 20 years? Flavors?! Being a guy from birth, I never actually owned a cooter, so I was shocked to learn you ladies can taste with one. I am assuming this is really for the guys. "Come on honey, pleeeease, it will taste like bananas . . ." Bananas, what a cliche`. Then we have pleasure bumps, pleasure humps, and pleasure dots. Ladies are these really pleasurable? Tingling sensation for him, tingling sensation for her, mutual pleasure, mandelay (I thought it was a Vegas casino) glow in the dark (strobe light effects?), and once again flavors? Will anyone admit to tasting one? So I need some stories. What works, what doesn't.

I knew you would like that.

I have not met someone who has filed for divorce that didn't have a honey waiting. He/She might not be the next full time partner, but there was someone there. I am certain it has happened, I just don't know anyone.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I don't think anybody is screwed - not totally at least. I agree they should be able to send out a 'processing request' general email or at least post it on the site, but I'm sure they set aside what they thought was an appropriate amount of WS tix for people who purchased the packages and those were not part of the general release. Now, whether they held back enough for each package to get 1 WS ticket for each of the 4 potential games is another matter. I reread that first sentence at least 50 times, and it still sounds like the idea was you would get an offer to by a ticket to each game – with the "if available" caveat large-looming and now pregnant with meaning. For what it's worth, my Dad took momentary leave of his usually fiscally responsible senses (Go Dad!!) and signed on the line for a pair of full season plans as well. So I'm pinning my hopes on this coming through just like you. When the Bulls used the All-Star game as a sales tool, they did run out of seats.

Great Ticketmaster fiasco generates 251 users, a new record. Now we know why the newspapers report bombing, not school openings.

I vote Rally Crede!

Not that simple sir. If Mexico started torturing it's citizens would we throw open the border? Iraq has been known to torture a person or two, yet we do not offer carte blanche entry into the US for them. Same with China, Kuwait, Afganistan, Iran, etc. I think an immigration judge should always hear these cases, even for Cuban illegals. I would hate to think the next terorist attack would be conducted by a Cuban illegal waltzing into the country.

QUOTE(JCarver27 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) For those who got game 7......what if it doesn't go 7 games? Do they give you your money back? Yes, but it usually takes some time. It may be a mail in program, a stop by the box office, etc. In all cases you will need your original tickets. You will also lose the TM surcharges. The clubs usually only refund the face value.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) This doesnt happen. There isnt much on a shark that is worth processing, from what I have read. Something about the high content of Urea in their blood or something. So a shark is basically killed for about 20 percent of their body. its a waste I think there is a definite difference in hunting and baiting. I have had shark steak, have seen shark skin boots, wallets, and other items. I believe it depends on the species of shark. You are probably correct, some are harvested for only one use. I've seen preserved baby aligators for sale. I'm not certain if we would call that a high percentage usage or not. I think it would be a moral slippery slope to try and justify killing an animal based on the percentage of use you will receive from the animal. I doubt the cow cares if it's hooves and tail and used or not when it gets wacked on the head.

QUOTE(BDavisFutureHOF @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) MOTHER f***ING TICKETMASTER/SCRUB FANS! This is horses*** -- my pops has been a fan of this team since the early 30's and we can't get tickets but this f***ing duech bag Scrubs fan next to me got 4 to games 1 AND 2 -- Only to f***ing sell them! I seriously feel like beating this s*** bag senseless! To sell them? But these went to the common fan. BTW, I always try and buy tix to these kinds of games. I figure it's cheaper than buying a scratch off lottery ticket with a better return. The guy I know at TM should be calling me soon to see how we did. Come on Daddy needs 10 new $100 bills.

QUOTE(agame @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) I agree, Their infrastructure is obviously not setup to handle this. They should've offered the deal throughout yhe playoffs. I thought they did and not many people took them up on it

Cool. What is funny is half were hoping to see a Sox celebration, half were hoping to see a collapse. Too bad Cub fans

The Rally Crede never reads Mariotti. The Rally Crede drinks his coffee black. The Rally Crede buys American made cars. The Rally Crede drops gold coins in the Salvation Army Bucket every year.

The #1 thing I am asked is what's up with the whole Cubs/Sox thing (always in that order). It does not compare with the Mets/Yankees because the Yankees have been so successful and dwarf the Mets. Even the Angels/Dodgers thing is kind of secondary. There is no better rivalry for no understandable reason that Sox/Cubs. Bears Packers play in the same division. Notre Dame USC has 70+ meetings. Cowboys Redskins another divisional rivalry. Longhorn Sooners, division rivalry. Sox Cubs? A city split in two, usually debating which team sucked less the previous year. Two teams that for decades never played each other. The same fans who join together at Bulls, Bears, and Hawks games, fighting at baseball games. It is one thing that makes this unique to the nation. Fans in other cities really cannot understand a Chicagoan cheering against a Chicago team. Certainly they can understand a transplant, but not someone born and raised in the city. Imagine if Houston won last night and half the city either didn't care or was pissed that the Astros won? That's how absurd it is to the rest of America, and something we know in our souls is right and fair.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) This is one of the worst pieces of s*** I've ever read. While I agreed with a lot of what he said when the Sox were struggling, this seems like an article written by someone desperate to piss of White Sox fans. http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay18.html Let's go back to the beginning. This is one of the worse pieces of s*** you've ever read because he discusses this being a Cub's town? Have the read this thread where yesterday soxtalkers basically discuss the same thing? Are you disagreeing that in fact it is a Sox town? Shall I pull up the threads here that talk about zero celebrating on the north side? You don't think it's a story? Should every columnist write about the same thing? Jay is writing about the same things that hard core Sox fans are discussing. Reaction from the city is always a story. Whether it's over turning cabs on Division Street after a Bulls Championship, or zero celebrating, it's a story. I think we all look silly when we complain about a columnist writing the same things we're talking about. And what kind of columnist discusses this two days after clinching? One that has written for years that JR was too cheap to win a Championship. One that suggested Wrigley was too unsafe to host a game. One who thinks the Bears can't draft a qb correctly. One that prefers tackling controversy to ass kissing pr fluff from the front office. I still don't see what was in the article to piss off Sox fans. Maybe the gratuitous Ligue reference, I am very tired of reading that crap.

Free Agent. Turned down the LAD AAA assigment.

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) I'm sure that some of these were snagged by brokers....but I doubt if they went too crazy on these. Knowing that prospective buyers could get the same deal at this time really limits their market. People are not going to pay $3000 to a broker for a ticket if they didn't take advantage of paying the same amount to the White Sox for season tickets and World Series tickets. And for those of you upset about these not being sold by themselves (without season ticket obligations)....rest assured that the brokers would probably secure almost all tickets sold in this manner. They will pay hundreds of people to wait in line, dial on 20 different lines, try connecting on 15 different computers, or do anything else necessary to make the purchase (including bribes to people in the ticket office whom I sure they know quite well). I applaud the Sox for this effort and look forward to seeing the moves in the off season this extra revenue will provide. Lets not find anything to b**** about in this time of extreme joy....we're in the f***ing World Series and in great shape as an organization for years to come! Excellent points. I saw it as an anti-broker move, not a pro broker move. IIRC when I had Bulls tix, what I wanted was only season ticket holder to be allowed in.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) Yes I read the article, and I still think he's completely reaching to say that since Pujols hit the homer, it still makes it a Cubs town. If anything, the Pujols homer last night should have made the buzz around town diminish because the Sox still don't know who they're playing in the World Series. The next few days should be the calm before the storm. Please don't group me with other Sox homers though that will rip on anything Mariotti says. This article just flat out sucked, and it seems like the type of thing written by someone who has a lot of hate for a team. And like was just mentioned, Mariotti can never just come out and praise the team without somehow throwing in an insult also. Post some quotes that show what you are talking about. I don't see the Pujols to Cubs town link.
