Sitting in first period art class, my first week of high school. We heard it on the radio. I'll never forget that eery silence afterward. The rest of the day was frantic, disorganized. I remember trying to understand the magnitude of it at the time. How could I? "Tower 1 is down. The Pentagon." Watching those faces on TV, my life would never be the same again. The weeks after were different. People actually cared about each other. Suddenly we were all pulling in the same direction. It hurts me to think about it sometimes. About the people trapped in those buildings, the military vets never coming home. It hurts me even more to see us regress into ignorance again. Maybe for one day we can stand together. Be proud of our strength and humble for our freedom. Maybe that day is today.

That blow up was a long time coming. Good for Speigs for standing his ground.

2nd semester of my MA HRD and the Organization Adult Learning Theory What do you major in SoxFan?

Permanently enshrined on the Eutaw Street concourse.

Anyone have a picture yet?

No place to go but up from here. That's the silver lining.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Mar 4, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) Can't speak for everyone in my area but I'm about 10 minutes from Alexian and I would go to a s***load of games if the Sox put an affiliate in there. I think a lot of Sox fans in the area would. Especially since getting to The Cell is kind of a b**** from around here. You could also look at it from a marketing/promo perspective. Having a minor league in the area would give you another local outlet to market your big league club. Cheap ticket prices encourages families to attend, building interest in the team/players at an early age. I see your point, but if the Sox are contending year in and year out, I don't see much of a threat. The Blackhawks survived the lean years when the Wolves were winning championships. Winning draws. Period.

Made it out to Camden last season for Sale's debut. Still one of the most beautiful parks in baseball. Great food, great fans. Nothing wrong with adding a little veteran star power to get the fans excited. God knows they need it. It's not like we're talking about Andruw Jones here ...

"The play" Jeff Liefer

Just saying ...

One of the best bats in White Sox history. A class act guy. A poster boy for this era of White Sox teams. A plus ball picker with an at worst, still decent bat. ... and we get to see him etch his place in Sox history for 3 more seasons. Economic value and player comparisions aside. The fan in me loves this move. Glad to see you back captain. You belong here.

Dunn Dunn Dunn, Dunn-da-Dunn, Dunn-da-Dunn. DunnDunnDunn Dunn-Da-Dunn, Dunn-da-Dunn!

This thread went down hill FAST

Is it just me, or does there seem to be an unprecedented amount of 2 and 4 game series here? From first glance, geeze.

Jets

I finished my lunch just in time to catch Malcolm & Eddy and this damn baseball game was on ... pissed.

that's the way you need it!

QUOTE (SexiAlexei @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) I agree. If I'm not mistaken, manny doesn't play day games after a night game, so he'd only play in one of the next two anyways. This entire philosophy is such a joke to me. The sense of entitlement with some professional athletes makes me sick. God forbid you go the extra mile to help your team in a pennant race.

Hey Soxtalkers, Didn't catch the Fantasy Football wave early enough this year. Just wanted to invite any of you last minuters (like myself) to join one of my public leagues. It's free and just for fun. 16 teams, 3 round playoffs, +2 for home field advantage. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/leagueoffice?leagueId=716450 Draft is tomorrow @ 8:00 PM CT. Go Sox!

John Buck! Book it!

This looks bad.

This victory was possibly huge in terms of momentum. We let this one get away, we're losers of 3 in a row. Now we have a chance to win yet another series without skipping a beat. The AJ peg down to 2nd in the 9th, AWESOME.

Win me the next 3 series, and I'm all in. Realistic shot at 7-2(ish?) next 9 games. Tigers have been playing well, Twins win last two in PHI. Still have some work to do! Get within 4 by the break.
