QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) I'm sure you can.. and it wasn't a shot. But in all honesty you piss off the wrong person (and not specifically you - just anyone) and many times it usually ends up with someone bleeding. Oh I know what you mean, I just dont get how someone would be dumb enough to get themselves put into jail because someone threw a HR ball back onto the field..

QUOTE(flippedoutpunk @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Hell yeah! I ran into some girls at the park and i had them sit with me in my section, i coulda introduced u to some.. you coulda been married by now sheez hahaha, I promise I will make it next time..

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Whatever dude. If you want to act like a moronic Cub fan at the Cell, feel free. Just don't say you weren't warned. Yeah, you warned me and everyone else has said the same crap.. I dont care, I will throw it back... if you catch a HR ball keep it, but thats you not me

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Unfortunately.. people have been assulted for less there. Either way, I can take care of myself.. so if some fat drunken slob wants to tango with a fit, youthful, strapping young man... go nuts

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Just saying ... if you bring that crap to the cell, be careful. If I go to the Cell I am brining flippedoutpunk with me and he would never let anything happen to me, so no worries here

QUOTE(flippedoutpunk @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) You know your scared of getting ejected and missing out on the 6 dollar cans of beer Unless I am there after August 14th the price of beer doesnt matter cuz I wouldnt be able to buy it anyways..

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) No. Not of getting ejected. Of getting your ass stomped for making Sox fans look like dorks. Pretty sure that wont happen, and if it does someone has some problems if they are going to turn throwing a HR ball back into Assault..

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) As long as you stay in Houston, all is cool. You pull that crap at US Cellular, you are taking a very big risk. Of what? Getting ejected?? ohhh nooooo...

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) i HAVE TO APOLOGIZE... I shouldn't have resorted to name calling... dont worry about it man, you called me a dork.. my little sister calls me that, it doesnt bother me

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) Now I understand, thank you. also, never seen anyone get ejected for that, and it happens down here too..

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) What's the point, why throw it back? I saw a teenager throw a ball back from the bleachers and get escorted out. The moron was arguing with secutity and the security guard said "you're not supposed to throw anything on the field." That teenager didn't think he was quite so cool when he was being ejected. I wouldnt care about being ejected, you can by 1$ with a coke bottle and sit wherever you want at Minute Maid Park so its all good

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) does that change the outcome... dork... I dont care what it changes, if I catch it... its mine.. I can do what I want with it, and throw it back I shall

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Because you being the ripe old age of 21 know what kids want. They would never want a ball hit by an opposing team. Not a 5 year old. Thats a bad ball. Its cursed, and its really neat to throw it back, look everyone I am really cool cause I threw it back rather than give it to a kid who might really like it. you damn straight As a matter of fact, when I was that young I wouldnt have wanted a HR ball from the opposing team.. So yeah.. I would imagine I know..

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) It is Rattzinger! Isnt that the guy from Cheers!?

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Then why post here? :headshake Because I wanted to know why everyone cares so much? That is what I asked, isnt it

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Please. :headshake Give it to a kid and make his day. No way, If I caught a HR ball from our team.. then Ide give it to a kid... but from the other team, pffft, f*** that that ball is headed back to where it came

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Go to Wrigley then. Nah, if I was at the Cell and I caught a HR ball from the other team ide launch that b**** right back onto the field

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) That's a moronic Cub fan type thing to do. No its not, its awesome..

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) Finally, the unacceptable practice of throwing the opposing team's home run balls back. Undoubtably started by one of the CUBS SUCK chanting cheeba monkeys, this is a WRIGLEY FIELD TRADITION, so if you really consider yourself a Sox fan, keep the ball if you're lucky to grab one. Or, give it to the nearest youngster-- you'll make his year. Or, take the ball and throw it at the nearest jagoff chanting "Cubs Suck" during the late innings of a tie ballgame between the SOX and OUR biggest rival over the last 3-4 years. Throwing the other teams home run ball back is the greatest thing ever, and I wish more people would do it... thats awesome

Can someone explain why you guys even care about this? I dont get it, who cares

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) If he threw 100 as a starter, I honestly expect him to throw something ridiculous like 102 MPH as a closer. As Baseball Prospectus said, it'll be a lot of fun to watch him regardless of the results. Well I just hope we hang onto this guy and he ends up on the big club as either a SP or CL because that would be awesome

yessssssssss... Jenks at Closer I really hope he makes it with us

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) Saban likes Campbell and Frye a lot too, no? I have read that, and that is why they are trying to get the Surtain deal done, or trying to talk Tampa into trading up. So basically any of the second tier QBs could and probably will be headed to Miami. If Rodgers goes #1 Miami will take Smith or trade im almost 100% positive on this..

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) http://www.5atexasfootball.com/ Just for one division. And if a School Board ever allowed their HS to drop below 5A, they would be voted out My understanding is Indiana basketball is very close to this madness. Speaking of that site, if you go to the Greatest Games of 2000's Soxtalks own holds a place in history.. 2002 Regular Season, Non-District: Katy 37 Humble 36 (OT) Humble came into this game ranked #1 in the state (They were also #9 in the Nation), and sporting a 1-0 record. Katy jumped out to a 17-7 lead before Humble closed the gap in the 4th quarter to send the game to overtime. The Wildcats took a 36-29 lead in overtime, and Katy took the field. The Tigers came within one point after answering Humble's score, but elected to go for two, and the win, instead of tie with an extra point. Katy ran an option play and with a one handed catch on the pitch, Carl Slack (Me) outraced Wildcat defenders to the corner pylon for the game winning conversion. another Interesting thing about that, Humble went on to go 9 - 1 and we played them again in the playoffs and beat them like 27 - 7.. How bad would that suck, your #1 in the State and Nationally ranked and you go 10 - 2 and lose to the same team twice
