What is Root for the black and never go back?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 18, 2005 -> 02:53 AM) I think you all should just Light Up and Be Happy. Man I want to be Back to Chicago after reading these.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Look Lady, just ignore Tex's Grande Illusion. I see Miss America has joined the discussion, why don't you Come Sail Away?

I wonder if we were in a society that viewed dogs as livestock, a food source, if we would be that outraged? We accept the slaughter of cows, pigs, lamb, chickens, turkeys, etc. without a second thought. But dogs and cats have a higher moral value for some reason. Danskos? Cloggin' Soxy?

Pujols smashed that one. He hit the train tracks. That's a roof shot at the old Cominsky

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) That's terrible. Using dogs or cats is rediculous. To me it's kind of like those witchcraft people with black cats on Halloween. If I ever ran into some group doing that or knew of someone, there'd be hell to pay. Do you have a problem with feeding chickens and cows to dogs?

Down to their last strike and battled back. That was a huge homerun. It is a little deceiving with that short wall in left, but it hit waaaaaaay up the wall and seemed to still be rising. Lidge will have nightmares about that one.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) did he just tie it? Nope, he put them 1 up.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) You should have lied. I was going to be seated next to him.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:25 PM) Texsox will probably go. Kap and I are working every angle. I was close to tickets until the guy asked me who I was rooting for. BTW, they just played the sound sof Brandon Backe he was going nuts.

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I don't know about you, but for me school comes second to seeing our beloved White Sox in the World Series. So to that extent a road trip to Houston is definately in order. Anyone know what Houston is like, bar scene, hotels, etc. Any good hotels by the stadium? When Astros tickets go on sale? How long/how the hell do you get down to the Lone Star State from the "Biggest Little City in the World" I hope that many of you join me on this quest down to Houston! (I'm assuming Houston, up 4-1 in 7th) Tickts have already been sold out for the WS. They used a random ticket process. Houston is an awesome city. Great food, great people. I usually will head down towards Galveston when I'm up there, but I love the water and staying near the Gulf. You are looking at about a 12-14 hour drive from Chicago. Either down through St. Louis or towards Memphis and across.

Your Fooling Yourself if you think that Renegade isn't thinking these are the Best of Times.

Mercy I'll play. I believe they said they are using roadkills or strays. But that doesn't matter much to my point. We euthanize dogs and cats by the thousands every day in American because people allow their pets to breed but don't want the puppies and kittens. We systematically and institutionally slaughter millions of cows, pigs, chickens, and fish every month. Read the label on dog food. Made with real chicken, 100% pure beef. So we slaughter a chicken to feed the dog, but slaughtering the dog to catch a shark is wrong? Why does the chicken or cow have a higher moral value than the dog? Interesting isn't it? The one person here who I believe has a strong moral platform to condem this practice is ChiSoxy, who hates plants so much she only eats plants, no animal meat. Mercy, if you are also a vegetarian, I must bow out of this game and concede your point. But any carnivore has little room to complain.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) I have a little thing in mind for the Rally Crede, but am waiting for the season to end. Just say no to your little thing.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) what a bunch of sore losers ESPN is. they just had a big story on how the cubs are still the better story and no one cares about the white sox. what team does espn own?

Hmmm, we proudly say we don't go out to support a crappy team, then complain about bandwagon jumpers when the team wins? Anyone else see some irony in this? There are pockets or groups of fans to swing. The family who attends a mlb game every year, looks at the family schedule to pick the game and couldn't tell which Chicago Lee is who. They may or may not switch to the Sox. Some may be scared to drive to a different stadium in a different area of the city. The big prize is the business entertainment group. Make the Sox the place to be and salespeople are lining up to take their customers to games. That's the treasure box Brooks would like to open. The weekday businesss crowd, buying the good seats, spending the companies dollar. The hard core base may increase by a few faces, but the guy just buying some tickets would be a nice bump.

Dump Kenny and Ozzie and use the money to fill holes

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) s***, I will send some copies to people, 10 bucks is a f***in rip off. Actually it really isn't. Shipping is going to run $3 - $5 and the newspaper itself must be $2 by now. $5 to package, collect the money, etc. sounds about right. Sucks when you're out of town.

Download the games from mlb.com Check with your local mega-book store. The Barnes and Noble here carries the Tribune and the Sun-Times as well as most out of market newspapers.

Actually when we do the annual Soxtalk Readers Awards, I am certain the Rally Crede will be thread of the year. Out doing the Soxtalk Photoshop Contest.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) He is no sox fan. he isnt fan of any team. He shouldn't be a fan. If you just want happy news from fans and the company, read here and the official club annoucnements. There are never any problems, every team we field is a world series contender. Chicago has had so many homers and journalists who kiss the owners asses for free hotdogs and tickets that we think that is the norm. Mariotti isn't dumb and tweaks the Sox noses and gets great publicity and readership. I was told last year that his anti-sox articles generate 4x as many hits as any other articles. He is also the most hit Sun-Times sports columnist. So business is good for Jay when he takes a poke at JR and Co.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Can you post what snopes says? I cant link it at work, apparently it has been deemed "graphic" by the moderators of my office network that is some of it!

Welcome to Soxtalk. If you are a White Sox fan looking for a new home, where maybe your old home made you feel too old or like a baby in kindergarten getting spanked, you will have a good time here. If you are a fan of another MLB team, welcome again. We don't allow personal attacks, or trolling, so feel free to post intelligent thoughts and you will be fine. We especially like to hear from opponent fans with class and dignity. We don't have an official post who you are thread, but since we have so many new people, we could use this one for a while.

Getting banned from WSI is like getting tossed from a Rush street bar, like who hasn't? No personal attacks, no nudity, no making fun of Texas, and you will be fine. And Steff may be doable, but it's not what you think.
