  1. Another issue is the division we play in. All those games against the Royals, Tigers, and Indians, with very little drawing power, also hurts our attendance. We killed out selves 30 years ago when the team went pay per view and the Cubs had SuperStation WGN. I forget the TV system ON_TV or something like that. Prior to that we were on UHF Channel 44, poor reception in the suburbs, and the Cubs were beaming WGN with a better picture. We lost a generation. I'm guessing the die hard, knowledgeable, baseball fan base is split about 45-55. The casual, goes to one or two games a year and couldn't tell Crede from Walker are split 80-20 to the Cubs. That's the battleground. The casual "bandwagon jumpers" we make fun of. Those are the fans we need at the games. Instead of looking at them in disgust and talking about being a "true fan"; we need to suck it up and welcome them and hope they bring 10 friends to their next game.

Dollars to donuts he was working up an Endy Chavez thread and looking desparately for news about some Sox minor leaguer or draft prospect named Chavez to make a clean sweep of the front page. Nice work, Tex. I also started to ask if someone would make me a Chavez wallpaper or sig

    QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) The tricky thing about BitTorrent is the bevel tool. You have to set the orientation of the vertical plane to .442 and then place it under the direct select option. Then you download it and watch your masterpiece. or you can use the short cut and click on while in freeze frame view. That way you see the masterpiece and the slavepiece layered via dithering.

  12. QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) and then i see the 2nd thread. it would have been funnier if you had limited it to 1 Upon further review, yep, I should have stopped at one. This one was an accident. We've been having more and more boxing matches down here with the new arena and a few of my buddies were debating who was the best Mexican fighter.
  13. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) Two threads started within a few minutes of each other about someone named Chavez. Are you just trying to talk about someone with the last name of Chavez that isn't named Eric? I want to be the all-Chavez web site
  14. It's all about upgrading without digging a hole in the 40 man roster too big to climb out of. I'm tired of leveling off peaks to fill holes.
  15. Interesting Article. So many great Mexican fighters to choose from.
  16. QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) Maybe. This is a topic that really bugs me because everyone runs around crying about how what the Republicans did to Bill Clinton was wrong. He did it to himself. If he would have just come clean, none of the BS would have happened. But to a point athomeboy points out, every level of government does the same damn thing. They are all a bunch of corrupt bastards. The GOPers would have made it an issue even if he came clean. What would have saved him was if the blew dress came clean. I do agree that he got all he deserved and more.

    QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) Please, no, the visuals I am getting are too much. I know what you are getting at, but I am seeing Bea Arthur in a thong, with a front clasp!!! LOL!!! Bea is exactly what I was picturing
  18. Different times, different crimes. What set Tripp apart is she turned in a friend who was confiding in her. While most of us don't have access to information of national importance, we do have friends and we expect them to keep secret the secrets we tell.

  20. What I find interesting in this, and other similar matters, is we (the US) keeps score in dollars and cents. Something on this scale isn't completed until money exchanges hands. Note to self
  21. Technically, if she was elected, would it extend the Bush dynasty? I know, that was soooooo bad. What the hell do y'all expect from me?

  23. QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) I remember when I first heard this interview and he said Dusty was there and stuff too, so im sure if it was a lie Dusty or someone would come out and say so... Hell Bonds hasnt even denied it has he? I don't take celebrity denials as adding to or detracting from the veracity of a report. Bonds, like many celebrities, could spend his entire day denying statements. I wonder if he meant by white people, Ron or the people who would benefit? And he could have easily said not to opponents.
