QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 10:35 PM) Wait i just saw you are coming in April, prob not a lot of street festa then. Anyone who comes to Chicago in th summer needs to go to at least one street fest. It's really where you see the differences in the neighborhoods. That sounds like a great time there! Good recommendation on the blues - any cool spots you know in that regard? No boozin for me - not for a long long time now. =) Thanks Rock.

what are some cool places to go / see / do in chicago while we aren't watching the games?

Who is that concern coming from and why are they having them?

QUOTE (SouthSidePride05 @ Feb 24, 2011 -> 03:37 PM) Woohoooo!! So are you flying into Midway or O'hare? Is Sr. coming along too.. don't quite get the April fools joke.. The tickets are to O'hare. Sr. is coming along too and doesn't know it. So, I'm gonna send him a white sox post card that has a flight number on it and then sign it April Fools? He'll wonder what the hell is going on. =D

hi8is - PLANE TICKET BOOKED BABY! hi8is Sr. - PLANE TICKET BOOKED! I'm gonna send the old man a card on April 1st that says his booking number and tells him that he'll be in Chicago by April 6th. Then say, April Fools? Muhuhahahaha

Anyone here work for the Marriot or know someone who works for them? I've zeroed in on their Courtyard Chicago Downtown/River North location and see that their normal rate of $169 per night goes down to $120 if I can use a "friends and family coupon" I also found a coupon code for a company near that hotel called Accenture. It takes the fare down to $129 per night. I even emailed that company and asked for a meeting so that I could tell the hotel attendant with honesty that "I'm with Accenture." haha Man - I rule */ End of Egoic Self Centered Rant /*

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 10:50 PM) How many tickets do you need for games and do you have preferences which games to attend? I might be able to help you out with my season tickets. The April games after the first series are not always as coveted so maybe I could get you handful from my partners at face. PM me if you are interested. Thanks. Thank you sir - PM sent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 06:25 PM) This needs to be a reality show. Back in my drinking days it would have been hysterically funny. Now, it would just be - extremely entertaining.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 04:17 PM) When are you coming here? April 6th - April 14th

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of my beloved SoxTalk circles... I am pleased to announce that I will be making my first ever trip to Chicago to see the first two home series at the Cell this year! Along for the ride will be my father - hi8is Sr. We need some assistance my bead brothers and sisters. 1.) Which airport is best to fly into 2.) What is a good area to stay ( we're on a tight budget ) 3.) What is the best way to get to the park on public transit from the location you have recommended above 4.) Where can we get good deals on cheap tickets ( anyone here have a hookup ) 5.) Are you interested in meeting up for a game or a meal? I'm hoping to meet up with as many soxtalkers as possible. Thanks for any tips and any assistance. Love you all - my family.

I wanna track him down in his home town just to shake his hand and take him to breakfast. =)

Crede = Jesus ?

Yea - jeez - come on - it's Thursday! Where's all the pitchers and catchers articles and photos!?!?!?!?!!!! GIVE ME NOW!!!

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 04:07 PM) Speaking of which, has anyone seen their annual deal pop up? Normally they have a deal up for like 3 days where you can get the whole season for $30. Whoooo nelly! Dude - you gotta PM me when that rolls around. What a deal! I'm broke too - hook it up =D

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 01:46 AM) It worked 27.5% of the time last year! I agree though. They had several MLB articles in the Trib today and I'm ready for it. Anyone know how many chi sox spring training games will be on MLB.tv this year?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) Guess for the newspaper headlines the day after he makes his first start? Back in Black - Peavy's still got it.

Jake Peavy crew - what =)

I just wanna know why they named the song so well - but have such horrid music =P

Yep - I listened to about 30 seconds. Why oh why is it called "Chicago white sox?" Me confused.
