I'm not sure exactly what Ozzieball is either but we can probably assume some of the components are: Scott Podsednik, starting pitching and defense. Three things that were alot better at the beginning of the summer than they are now.

Sorry but I don't think being overly positive or negative about this team has any effect on their chances of winning this division. It's our job as fans, however, to support our team through thick and thin. And we are definitely in thick times right now. If you had told me in April that we would have a magic number of 11 on September 17, I would take it. Be strong White Sox fans. We will see this thing through no matter the outcome.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) Nintendo will have probably about 10 more 1st party games worth playing than just Mario and Zelda. XBox will have Halo and, well, Halo. Ten? It sure is easy to say 10 when we're talking about something that doesn't exist. What are these 10 magical games that everyone's going to be playing. Last I checked, first party games alone couldn't carry a system anyways.

Back to the 1940s - Sox vs Twinkies 9-17

N64 and GameCube were major and minor failures respectively compared to what Nintendo's expectations were. Their dominance of the handheld market is now also being threatened by the PSP. This controller shows me they are really getting desperate. They've done a good job of generating a ton of PR for a TV remote, but the Revolution won't be coming out any time soon. At E3 they did not have one in-game demo of anything for the Revolution. If you're over the age of 13, don't waste your time waiting for Revolution. Simply borrow or rent one after it comes out if you really need to play the new Mario or Zelda game. The only things you should be buying are an XBox 360 or a PS3.

PBF Comics These have to be some of the best comics I've ever seen. Alot of irony and cultural references in these along with just plain weird stuff. Here is one of my favorites:
-
He's probably the only guy on this team with the tools to be a #2 hitter. It's just sad that the people below him are not getting it done lately. I know he's much more than a #2 hitter, but will we ever see him bat 3rd, 4th or 5th on the White Sox? I'm leaning towards no.

AOL does not seem like a great investment for anybody at this time. I guess Microsoft is really just interested in AOL's large customer base. Google just raised a bunch of capital too, and there was speculation yesterday that they would put in an offer to AOL. The idea of a big online service just doesn't seem right in today's ISP model. Broadband prices are going down, and AOL really messed up their entry into that market. With all the content on websites today, dialup is becoming much too slow for many Internet users.

They just eked out their division by 2.5 games at the end of that season. I can't imagine their fans were feeling any better about the postseason than I am now but they had won 3 of the previous 4 World Series before that.

The way the Sox played, I don't think the manager makes a difference in this one.

I would consider myself lucky if I was only affected by allergies for one week a year. I guess I'm used to it now so it doesn't really bother me unless I cutoff the medication.

It's pretty obvious Uribe finally figured things out on his own after he stopped listening to Greg Walker. Fire Greg Walker.

How much juice does this banner have? Is it something we can leave up indefinitely or do we need to save it for October? Either way, I am awed at its sheer power and Joe Crede the airplane.

To reiterate, Jenks is BEASTLY.

Game Thread -- August 25, 12:10 PM
DonkeyKongerko replied to Mplssoxfan's topic in 2005 Season in Review
Konerko failed to catch the liner that WAS foul. Then he sat there and didn't go pick up the ball. The relay throw came to Konerko who dropped the ball AGAIN and thus Rodriguez scored from first. I don't care if it was a bad call, Konerko had two chances on that play to get him out. -

Any Sci-Fi Channel fans and Comcast slaves?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Beyond the movies, there were several television shows picked up from obscurity and given new life. Friday the 13th: The Series, She-Wolf of London, Monsters, Sliders were entertaining to watch late on a Saturday night. Today, all four series are practically collectors items. We're lucky if anything but Stargate SG1 and Battlestar Galactica are showing on continuous loops during the daytime. I happen to be a fan of the Stargate series and Battlestar along with some of the other resurrected series you mentioned. In fact, Stargate SG-1 was lifted from about 5 years of obscurity on Showtime where I don't know if anyone knew about it. They still also bring back other short-lived shows like Firefly to give audiences a chance to see what they missed out on. I'm not a huge fan of the "cheesy" monster flicks that they show but I will usually give them a watch over late night movies on any other channel. Some of my favorites are those in the Tremors and Phantasm series. -
Cleveland's schedule down the stretch
DonkeyKongerko replied to Greg Hibbard's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The Sox aren't gonna be bad enough to let anyone catch them. We haven't had anything close to a 17-32 extended period of suckiness for me to think it could ever happen. I also don't like calling it "RIDICULOUSLY EASY" since we play basically the same schedule they do over the course of a season. Notice also how we have a ton of games with Minnesota maybe partly because everyone complained that Minnesota always had a "RIDCULOUSLY EASY" schedule at the ends of previous seasons. -
The Korean gaming industry seems to be stuck in the late nineties. Too bad Starcraft: Ghost is gonna suck.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 03:40 AM) haha, best decision ever. im a sci fi fan, but the garbage this station shows is truly enigmatic. just total s***. if you're into the sci fi channel, you might as well give up on life, because you enjoy s***. literally. You win the award for blanket generalization of the week. What sci fi do you watch exactly then? Can you tell me how good it is and how I should give up on life because I'm probably not watching it? -

QUOTE(juddling @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) yeah....my wife and i were just lamenting over this decision since we have been getting into "Battlestar Galactica" and Stargate. Before we moved this summer...they pulled Sci-Fi off our cable in place of the Oxygen network. (Gee...thanks for the chance to watch uber-dyke Ellen DeGeneres and reruns of Oprah!!!!!!) After our move..we were so excited to get Sci-Fi back.( What exciting lives we lead!! lol) and after a month..they announce they are moving it to a higher priced package AGAIN!!!!!!!!! f*** You Comcast! (and your s***ty internet hookup sucks too). :finger :finger :finger Nice to know there are some SG and BSG fans represented here. I don't know, I might just have to get digital cable now because I really don't wanna mess with satellite. Or just download all the episodes. -
This thread is just to thank Comcrap for discontinuing the best channel on their basic cable package and making my f***ing week. At least I'm done working for the summer.

How appropriate that the game ends in Aaron Rowand's glove. What a series defensively for Aaron and the entire pitching staff. WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!!!!!1 -
