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.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) Oh, shoot, I was just thinking the fattest person on the island would be the best choice... you know, in case I got tired of eating fish and coconuts. Linkage

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?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:06 AM) What about the Skipper? er, I mean, Mmm, Ginger. I'm sorry, I should have continued If you picked the Skipper, you probably are winodj (but I'm guessing he's a Professor guy)

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:26 AM) 12 pages later and many still didn't understand the idea of the thread... Let me try graphically If you picked Ginger Grant, this isn't the thread If you picked Mary Ann Summers, you are getting closer If you picked Eunice Wentworth 'Lovey' Howell, YOU GOT IT! This is the thread.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) Yeah keep talking about them. Pretty soon you'll stop worrying about other teams are start worrying about Boston passing us up in 1st place for the AL. nite? ahhhh we're the fans, not the players. I think we can have fun and let the team worry. I'm pretty certain that none of us will have to grab a glove and play left. But, I will bite. How exactly are you worrying about Boston? Are you working the worry beads? Reading all the Boston papers? Lighting candles? I just don't know how to worry about Boston in a constructive manner.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) Guess why that explains why the Braves keep winning. Organizations need to take chances, if it wasnt for any of them taking chances. You never hear about K-Rod , Jaret Wright (rookie season) , Miguel Cabrerra ( 19 year old ) just to name a few. Be opened minded , average MLB talent.. I'll take my chances with the guy in AA who hanst done anything and the guy in AAA who is going to " be an average to abover average (at best)" in the next year or 2. To be successful, those chances have to pan out. Just taking chances is like playing the lotto.

The White Sox pay Hawk's salary. MLB teams hire and fire their announcers. Hawk is just sucking up to the boss. Sad actually. He's a great announcer until he gets involved in office politics and sucking up for the team.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 04:21 AM) Texsox, I'm guessing that's the Hindenburg explosion. Correct? Yes. Conspiracy theorists believe he actually re-recorded it back in the studio later. Compare that to the almost emotionless coverage of the second plane hitting the tower.

From the moment I first heard about Steve Bartman, I knew I liked him . . .

I was reading that earlier. At first I was hoping that they all died suddenly, but based on that text message (isn't it against the law to use a cell phone on an airplane?) it seems they knew they were doomed. to all the families.

Rach Ray is way cute. You have got to love that smile and giggle. Also Paige from that home makeover reality series. Another cute as a bug's ear.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) Who's walking down the streets of Mayberry Smiling at everybody she sees? Who's taking care of Andy and Opie? Everyone knows it's Aunt Bea (Dum Dum Dum Dum Dum...) And Aunt Bea has Great Big Thighs Her aprons are All King Size She gives my Blue Jeans a Rise When she walks by When she walks by When she walks by I love that song. Was that Brandmeir? I seem to recall Johnny B playing it.

I believe it is valid to point out JR's position in baseball and the apparent contradiction. I'm surprised this wasn't coming from the other way. National media headlines, baseball's diversity chair supports homophobe. IMHO, it would be JR's call, not Kenny's to suspend Ozzie. And while he's suspended have him coached in PR, please. For all the fans that wish we would get more national publicity, if this is our spokesperson, do we really want it? And we all know if this was Busty Baker speaking, we'd be offering to help drive him out of town. I felt the most self serving line was regarding Ozzie gyrating his hips behind Jay. Sometimes your worst enemy is your best critic.

Good for him. I am certain his district will judge him by everything he does. I just wonder if he'll adopt the entire agenda, or continue to pick and choose. If he suddenly changes views, along with the change in party, then I will lean towards my friend DJ's assessment.

I'm just not sold in Griffey. I see almost a Maggs like problem. With his health history, I'd be worried he'll just add to our DL roster. BTW, Maggs has his average to .300
