QUOTE(TheDybber @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) "Two hits. Me hitting you, you hitting the floor." Anyway, I hope some of you realize that Hawk has been with this team longer than some of you have been alive. Let's compare two announcers that are roughly the same age, Hawk and Vin Scully. Now I think Scully has the smoothest voice ever. I think if you are not a baseball fan and are trying to learn the game, Vin's your man. I think if you are listening to a ballgame that is between two teams you don't care too much about, listen to Vin. If I'm watching my White Sox, I want a buddy to listen with. And Hawk's the man for the job. I know baseball pretty well. I can disagree with Hawk just like I would with any of you if we were watching a game together. He's fun to listen to and he's got a pretty damn good knowledge of the game, too. Scully comes from a different era of announcers where the only time they get excited is if there is something HUUUUGE happening (Kirk Gibson in '88 comes to mind). Hawk gets excited on a big pitch in the game or a timely out or a ducksnort to keep an inning alive, just like I do. And THAT's what I like about Hawk. As for Mariotti, he does his job. He gets people on boards to talk about him. And I think that this is like Professional Wrestling...they go out and have a beer when no one is looking.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) Mariotti wrote nothing today I take it? QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) He was ripping on Tiger today. He doesnt seem to like Tiger too much nowadays. QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 11:43 AM) Tony??? about the only thing of interest in yet another Mariotti thread.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) True Fact: J.S. Bach drank 36 cups of coffee each day. I read a paper on Bach's minuets back in college and got hung up on the description of the persistent two-bar hypermeter phrasing he maintains during most of those zippy little numbers. It turns out he was completely hopped up on cafeine the whole time, so that explains a lot. WTF did Jim just say? For the love of God, someone get me a PhD to English dictionary

I'm thinking of starting a Griffeytalk.com forum

Marketing. Just trying to keep SL&P readers. Maybe we should start baseball discussion here for SL&P posters

I guess it would be funner if we all had a beer

QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) I bring a thermos to work everyday. Coffee (the caffeine) doesn't do anything for me. I can drink 20 cups and go straight to bed. On the weekends, during the winter, I drink coffee from the moment I wake until I go to sleep at night. I just keep adding coffee into the strainer and water to the machine. I have a system. wait until you get older . . .

I was checking the board index and 25 of 29 posters were reading a Griffey thread.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) And when we do win will go away and stop screaming that the sky is falling? I swear lately you are on a one man mission to piss on everything to do with the White Sox... shhhh, he's busy worrying and being a real fan

I think it's funny that some Sox fans are so thin skinned. With our historic lack of success, you would think that nothing could phase us. Once you get outside Chicago and the homers, there is a big world of sports announcers, pundits, talking heads, columnists, hosts, and most don't drink the White Sox koolaid. Mariotti is reporting and writing what 80-90% of the world is reporting and writing. I have to agree a little with Aboz, Hawks can sometimes take his Sox PR duties a little too extreme. Crede and Uribe over Jeter and A-Rod GMAFB. Hell, most of this board has wanted Crede's ass a time or two. And Crede over A-Rod? LMAO. But I am a big fan of Hawk's announcing. I love a homer announcing the game. But Hawks, quit being an apologist for the team.

As I was reaching into my fridge for some cream for my coffee, I noticed a lone bottle of Shiner Boch, it looked so sad by inself, and wondered which was more important, a steaming cup of coffee in the morning, or a beer at the end of the day. Tough call.

You can't scrap every plane that had a major failure, but at the same time it always seems the plane had this or that problem. Then again, maybe they all do

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 06:05 AM) When our soldiers come home and complain about the press coverage they see being heavily slanted, then I'd say there must me a glimmer of truth in their claims. But, that's just me. When White Sox fans look at the team's national coverage they see bias. When GOPers see the news, they see bias When Dems see the news, they see bias Headline: Chicago 3,000,000 Drivers Arrived Safely To Work Real Headline: 8 Car Accident Snarls Edens If the press started ignoring the death toll and reporting "happy news" there would be outrage the other way that their sacrifice was going unnoticed. The best definition of news is that it is a rough draft of history. Read most history books, building a school isn't included, wars and famine are. The dust bowl is history making, record crop production, is not. Is the coverage what the GIs would want? Probably not. Would that channel have high rating? No.

These guys just amaze me. I understand the competitive desire and ego that it takes to put in the work to become an NFL player. But once there, don't they realize that everyone else around them has about the same talent and desire?
