Time for the rally font

Goodnight. This f***ing sucks.

:puke

We having fun yet? mlb has the f***ing cleveland announcers.

I don't think you can look at the poverty level and compare the relative effectiveness of a President. They get way too much credit, and blame, for the economy.

I've just never heard a Chicagoan say they didn't know Marshall Field's was around, seeing as how it's an iconic building on State Street, along with another at Water Tower and a few in the suburbs... Maybe you're just an exclusive Zemsky's shopper. OMG, I hope Frango mints aren't getting axed . . .

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Next up if Crede fails us, the Rally Gage. I hope the Rally Gage goes to 98

I usually agree with Jay, but one thing in this column that is just wrong or at least mis leading, who was really available? Who the hell did anyone pick up that is making a difference? What closer did he expect Kenny to pull out his ass? Jenks is as solid as any reliever that may have been obtainable.

Note to Ozzie: See the teamwork above.

On New York's Upper West Side lived an assimilated Jew who was a militant atheist. But he sent his son to Trinity School because, despite its denominational roots, it’s a great school and completely secular.After a month, the boy comes home and says casually, “By the way Dad, do you know what ‘Trinity’ means? It means the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.” The father can barely control his rage. He seizes his son by the shoulders and declares, “Danny, I’m going to tell you something now and I want you never to forget it. There is only one God. AND we don’t believe in Him!”

One of my favorite Texan phrases is eat what you kill. No gifts, no free lunches. That is what this season has come down to with all these games against the Tribe.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) I just appreciate that people here can say what they want, even if it's negative, about the team, and not get banned. The owner here gets laid and has regular bowel movements. Could be why we're not quite so anal about threads.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) No, apparently they were built for HALF a season...... AYE'M YOOST KEEEDEEEEENG.....aye theeenk.......

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) Between you and Kap, first one to Michigan City gets the spare bedroom Does the room come with Sox tix? My parents just left here a couple days ago. I offered to let them stay and experience a hurricane. I'm thinking of booking a room in Corpus for the weekend. Could be a great show.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) That one had you guys at the dead center of the track, this time you guys are on the far southern end, but the storm track has been moved about 3 hours south. Whereever it lands, I just hope for the best, because it is blowing up quick. The pressure is dropping, the eye is tightening, and the storm is intensifying, all at an alarming rate. And this is still with a few days until projected landfall. The bullseye seems to be on the Port Lavacca/Victoria Texas area, but if I were anywhere between Port Arthur and South Padre Island, I would be scared out of my mind right now. I'm more worried about tonight's game I always have plenty of survival type stuff on hand because of the camping I do. My water filter is ready to go, plenty of propane and white gas for my stoves, some dehydrated meals, and three white sox fan phone numbers for updates. Hey Kap, remember my cell number if I'm calling, and don't side button me like you usually do :-)

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) Hurricane Vince sounds appropriate. Right. Hurricane Tammy? That's a joke. If I'm going to die in a hurricane make it sound tough. Buehla was the last really huge one to hit here. Rita isn't bad for a female name. And there is the problem with these names. What we need are names like Hurricane Rip Your Frickin' Head Off. People hear Tammy is coming! Tammy is coming! and take their chances. They hear Rip Your Frickin' Head is coming! and they get out of Dodge. I am preparing a class action law suit on behalf of everyone in New Orleans who didn't flee because Katrina was not a tough enough sounding name.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) This thing is going to be huge because it's heading into the same waters that took Katrina from a category 1 to a category 5. The good news is that with time, it seems like most of the models have shown it starting to drift south, towards the southern part of Texas, and away from the areas that are already reeling. Hopefully no low pressure areas will appear and change that. That's good news, I can hardly contain my excitement The one that was suppose to hit us, passed south; any bets the one that's suppose to miss us is going to hit us?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Do they skip "U"? wino had to remind me that they don't do XYZ, since we never have to worry about getting down that far. I may have to amend my earlier prediction that we would not get into the Greek alphabet. Stay safe, everybody. Yep, they skipped U2. I guess they couldn't tell if Bono was a girl's or boy's name But then how would they retire a "name" if they use the Greek alphabet?

I guess my weekend plans might be in jeopardy

We're running out of hurricane names for 2005. And of the names left, doesn't hurricane Stan and Hurricane Vince sound bad ass? Getting wiped out by Vince sounds tougher than getting wiped out by Tammy, the first hurricane with giant eye makeup. If I couldn't laugh, I would go insane.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) That is exactly my point. One guy equals ratings, dispite Farrakhan holding sway over a large segment of population. Just because the guy doesn't have a cable network, doesn't mean he doesn't hold influence. There are many, many people who follow and believe him, just like Robertson. Heck the way the media portrays it the good minister basically speaks for the black race, while Robertson just speaks for the right wing wackos. I don't think you can compare the two in credibility. I believe Robertson has far more credibiity in main steam America. Which is why his remarks are far more newsworthy and shocking. Farrakhan's remarks were not shocking and I think most people reacted like Nuke and found it funny. There is a huge difference in Bush saying something and some psycho guy muttering it on a corner and the media should treat them differently. Same with this. That psycho on the corner may have a great deal of influence with the other psychos on the corner. I guess we should also define large segment of the population. How large do you think Farrakhan has? How do you define sway?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) The models now have it going a LITTLE further south and then curving up toward just west of Dallas/Fort Worth. If this happens, we get the heaviest of what's left - which means Tropical Storm and Tornadoes. They keep telling us to expect tropical storm strength winds Saturday night and Sunday morning. Our local guys are talking about a hit down here as well. It seems as if the entire Texas coastline is probable. The last one stayed south, if that is repeated, and the weather patterns are similar with the high pressure ridge, I could be in for some wind and rain. Either way, Kap, it looks like you or me this time.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) I just hope she doesn't tow your heart away... I just wonder about those standing by a parking meter.
