QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) The ballclubs and personnel are both respective enough of each other. But I don't expect or even want Cubs fans pulling for the Sox in the playoffs, because I certainly didn't wish anything but failure on them in '03. I was hoping for success for the Cubs. In my dream scenario they would be 1 out away from the WS and have it all collapse. This was close enough.

sneaking in late at night to see your old buddies?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Wow. I saw the thread title and was all set to come on with some snarky comment or another, and then reading the article just blew me away. Great story. Hopefully it attracts the attention of some well-heeled Brazilians that can give them some underwriting. Ditto. I have a hard time typing snarky comments with tears in my eyes. I complain about the McAllen Public Library, we are so spoiled in the US. And to Benny Franklin for coming up with the idea for public libraries in the US.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) Only Red Sox and Yankee fans are crazy. Finally something we all can agree on.

I grew up with WLUP. I even am wearing a WLUP T-shirt in my Junior class picture. From Brandmeier, Dahl, Sky "let's get jaked and blow chunks" Daniels, Bob Stroud, The Loop Rocks Family Album, etc. It's what almost 30 years of rocking?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I don't mind it. Apparently my laughter struck a nerve. Let me retract my statement in the hope of making nice: tony graffanino is one of the finest hitters in the league and would bat wherever he liked on the white sox. And he's a much slicker fielder than Iguchi, Uribe or Crede. I realize it must be hard being a fan of two teams in the same league. I don't know what that's like. Sorry if I made you mad. If it's any consolation, at least you'll be feeling good no matter who wins, right? So you've got that going for you.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) come to Austin and I'll buy you a Mangia Chicago style deep dish pizza. Not like Malnati's or Uno's, but pretty damn good for Texas. Next time I'm up nort' I'll take you up on that. It's finding the ingredients that is the problem. The sausage usually is so bland, no fennel, no seasoning. The tomato sauce is closer to soup. There is a great hot dog place near me. He has buns and Viennas sent down from Chicago. His beef is great, but the buns aren't very good, he knows it, but can't find a supplier.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) It's the hamsters that keep us together. I've only heard of this one time in history And you know how they turned out

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) Scary thing is that he is a Packers fan as well. It's a good thing he works third shift - that way I don't have to deal with him lol. Whaaaaaaaat? :headshake My God, next thing you will say is he's Protestant.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) I feel for ya. Brian and I were dating in 2000 . . . he is a Mariners fan. That is all. QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) so, will he be playing golf tomorrow, like the Mariners?

Sucks. What is even worse, it may have been the best pie I've had in a long time. Damn the south sucks for pizza. I have a little heartburn, so at least I have that going for me.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) Since I am the only White Sox fan that I know of down here in Austin...I'll be watching the game with Red Sox fans. That's right, RED SOX FANS!!! That's just not right. Kap, Tex anyone else, please come to Austin and watch the game with me... Oh yeah, and my fiancee is from Connecticut...AND A RED SOX FAN!!! Of all the cities I could be in this week, I'm in the one major city that doesn't care about the playoffs, Atlanta.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) Heh, it's all I can do. I'm not big on emotions, but that suicide thread brought it to a head. Then I have it on shuffle on my iTunes, and the first song was a song I had about a guy shooting his friend in the head, and next was the MASH theme song with the words. I thought I could lose it at that point. Very few people can control when and how they die. Many people understand suicide for older people, facing pain from a terminal disease. Far fewer can understand mental pain, and suicide in someone so young. I'm not saying this isn't a sad, avoidable tragedy, I don't know your friend. Sorrow isn't forever, love is. And it sounds like your friend was well loved. Peace and prayers to you my friend.

I'm in a week long training meeting. I don't think they will let me out early. :banghead

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Buster Olney is picking the Padres to beat the Cardinals. There's someone for everyone . . .

Honestly, anyone here, with their baseball knowledge could build a case for 7 of the 8 teams. St. Louis is about as much of a lock as can be. After that, these are all great teams. Matchups are everything. A few bounces, some confidence, and anyone can get on a roll. I'm liking Houston and the Sox.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) That hurts, I'm the best poster on this board. Maybe last week, and possibly next week, but this week, your a sawks fan. Your one of them But the best, most knowledgeable, entertaining, and erudite sawks fan I know. I kid because I care™ And let's hope the Yankees are playing baseball next week. I'd rather have the AL East Champs than the AL West Champs.

is it weird to sing love songs to the picture of someone you love? you know, just wondering.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Well, she has backed "Civil Rights" for homosexuals. Link Straight people also support equal rights for all Americans . . . But I like women, so I may be a lesbian also . . .

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) Well you do have to admit, it's pretty rare that we actually have need of one. Yep. I do miss wiredawg1, he was a nice Tribe fan. I wonder how many Yankmee fans will find us next week . .

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) I know I'm one to talk, but let's keep it friendly guys. Since we don't have a true, full time bawston sawks troll, REDandwhite will have to do.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) LMFAO. I wish people would make up there minds... first Bush sucks because he won't listen to anyone else, then we he listens to other people and backs down a bit, he is a wimp like his father. Priceless. That seems a little unfair. Are you surprised in this country that there are always people who will agree and some that will disagree? There is not one issue that America 100% supports. I support this position and would substitute Conservative for liberal and hold the same position. honest and capable (good character and citizenship) works for me. Did I hear she's a Texan? Then dammit, confirm her, she must be good.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 3, 2005 -> 06:40 AM) I stopped reading right there. That f***er. I guess we'll see. That will only make some people very happy around here. Maybe if a certain drug addict who lied to investigators had said it . . .
