QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) Thank you Ribbie.. my pleasure.

I think what everyone finds weird is how this thread developed by you Greg. You pull out an odd stat like the Sox are 38-22 since blah blah and so is another team. So we wait and then...anticlimatically...you say it's the yanks. we wait again then you finally explain the meaning of your post...briefly. Next time, try combining everything into one paragraph... ::cough:: Hey guys, Even though the White Sox are a scorching 38-22 since May 30, so are the New York Yankees. A team many have written off this year. They have a deadly line-up and a good bullpen. If there pitching comes around, do you think they might pose a threat to the Sox in the post-season? How do we match-up? (here you would post a few facts, splits...etc) Stop being cryptic when it's not needed.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) Plus AJ reuniting with Hawkins could be a good thing. If anyone remembers what Hawkins did as a good relief pitcher its AJ. That is an EXCELLENT point!

That guy's got it ALL wrong... You have to pretend to be Willie Harris...that's money everytime!

Looks like Mark whacked the wrong guy in the mouth.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) Well put. Except for the extra ending, but I was fine with it. The ending was organic with the rest of the film, that's why it worked. It completed the personal journeys of Willy and Charlie. I'm still laughing at the "Flags of the World" exhibit.

Where did he say this?? I'd love to read the full article.

What a great movie "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" was... **SPOILERS** My Son adored it and he loves the first musical version. But I've been reading him the book for years, so he was thrilled to see the scenes and characters that were dropped from the orginal musical film. The Indian Prince and his Chocolate Palace melting around him. The Oompa Loompas singing Dahl's original lyrics, Veruca meeting her fate at the hands of Squirrells, not geese. The children leaving the factory and seeing the result of their experiences. The added stuff was wonderful too. The depth Johnny Depp and Tim Burton added to Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket's relationship. Pure Magic!! This is NOT a remake. This is the FIRST adaptation of the book. The other was a hollywood musical. Fun, classic..but not true to the vision of the book. This will be a Family Classic for years to come.

Ahh that 20/20 hindsight... Here are some thoughts on Ozzie Guillen as the new White Sox manager Please NO Ozzie - Thread http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11009&hl= http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11408&hl=

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) Although I didn't think they'd be this good, I was actually pretty optimistic about our chances this year. I was pretty wrong on a few players though. From March 20: From March 28: I'm an idiot! Nah...you're not an idiot. Jon never showed us anything more than that. The Idiots are those who refused to believe he finally matured after his hot start.

Post your links to past threads heralding the demise of the 2005 White Sox. I figured this will keep the board clear of "Bumped" threads. Which could be confusing to some.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) No thank you. I pray that we don't have to face the Cards! Who would you want to play? The Rockies?? Any team that makes it to World Series is going to be good. I think they're also hoping they don't have to face us...

Bumped for your pleasure... Wow..Kruk and Reynolds.. just...wow

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 07:58 AM) I've been to a couple games by myself, and never really thought anything of it. Just the other day I was listening to Carmen & Silvy on the radio, and they were ripping on people who go solo; they were talking about Carol Slezak who went to Wrigley Field and US Cellular solo in one day, saying 'doesn't she have any friends, that's so weird' etc. So now I'm a little bit self-conscious about being seen at the Cell by myself. I work in the city, all my friends work in the suburbs, so its' easier just going alone sometimes. Should I still go alone on Monday night? Absolutely Not! You should always base your descisions on what two, mildly talented DJs say on sports talk station.
