MexSoxFan#1

Fail,who said I give a crap about the Mexican National team? Nice try though thinking that because I'm Mexican-American I must root for Mexico like all Irish-Americans going for Ireland or all Polish-Americans going for Poland,right?Wrong! By the way,Soccer is as exciting as watching paint dry,I rarely watch it cept when nothing else is on. Whereas Team USA choking saddened you guys,I couldn't care less who goes or doesn't go to the WC

lol,USA down 2-3 after being up 2 nil...

dadgummit,I stupidly closed the tvants live stream and couldn't get back in and followed it on ESPN Gamecast,great finish!!!

Are still booing D weezy?

Ramirez might be the worst ss in a sox uni in a long time,he makes me miss OC.

What pisses off me the most was the beer I threw up thru my nose,TWICE,on the Lee and Soto dingers...way to give the game to the Cubs,Liney

KW is on Monsters...who is the dude with the Swirsky accent,how annoying.

^^That makes two of us.^^

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 12:30 PM) The party aspect is true, but it doesn't invalidate the TV aspect, which definitely has a lasting effect. Just because it was 20 years ago doesn't make it go away - fans beget fans. Its definitely a long term factor. You are correct,sir... The neighborhood I grew up in was working class,white,black and Hispanic and majority Cubs fans,in the southside no less...fans do beget fans. My wife and I are expecting in October and you can bet your butt he/she will be a White Sox/Bears/Bulls fan just like my father was even though I haven't lived in Chicago since the late 80s. Unless you don't like your folks too much,you root for the team your ma and pa rooted for,family tradition.

QUOTE (IamPabloOzuna @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) location of the stadium. thats the got to be one of the biggest determinations. If/When they decide to demolish wrigley, and the cubs play at the cell, do you really think they'll bring in 40,000 strong every game? no way. they'll be lucky to get 20,000 on a tuesday, just like us. The Cubs started becoming more popular because all their games were on free tv while the White Sox went to cable in the early 80's. I read an article where it showed the Sox and Cubs were pretty much even in attendance thru the decades until the 80s when the Cubs started outdrawing us consistently,more exposure=more popularity. Growing up I watched more Cubs games than Sox because their games were free and on summer afternoons during school vacation,I actually liked both teams as a little kid.It wasn't until I was about 13 or 14 when I became an all out Sox fan due to 2 reasons,my dad was a US Steel worker and he got alot of free Sox tickets and took me whenever he got them and second,my best friend was a Cubs fan and he was really obnoxious about it,that drove me decidedly to the Chisox,lol... I remember my uncle bought me a Cubs helmet because he thought I was a Cubs fan...needless to say I later smashed it in front of my best friend to his horror. I sadly knew the Cubs were more popular because in my circle of friends,out of all of us there were 2 sox fans out of a dozen kids,and this was in the Southeast side of town,15 minutes from Comiskey,all because the Sox moved to cable. Nice move.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 14, 2009 -> 08:20 AM) Wow. Overreact much Mariotti? 6 titles wasnt enough for you? No,6 titles isn't enough...no titles before the Jordan Era and none since. Those greedy Lakers with going on their 15th title and the Celtics with 17! You know what,6 is enough...let's go on a Cub like drought because 6 is enough! What was I thinking?Wanting an organization like the Lakers that want to win every year,what a greedy bastard.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 04:09 PM) Was just watching "MLB Tonight: Batting Practice" on the MLB Network and they were discussing Matt Holliday as the best impact bat on the trade market this year. Jon Heyman was on there and was listing a number of possible teams that Holliday could go to and at the end said that the Sox were a "wild card" to trade for him. Thoughts? What the hell...we should be selling,not buying with this god awful team. Bust them up already!

I just think Kobe wants it more,you could see it in his face and that rubs off on his teamates,Gasol,Odom and especially Riza have stepped it up...Fisher showed us last night why Jackson still believes in him. Kobe hasn't had to take this series over because his supporting cast have played well,they are tough to beat when that happens. The Bulls as an organization suck,and I'm a Bulls fan,the way the ran out Jackson after their 6th ring was disgraceful,Krause is an idiot,we should've fired that fat ass and kept Phil,he's a hell of a coach. If Reinsdorf really cared about winning,he would've kept him in Chicago,gone after a top tier FA(Garnett) and build a team around him,there would be a line at the door of top players wanting to play for Jackson since he's a well regarded coach and a winner,that's the difference between Reinsdorf and Dr Buss,the Lakers' boss wants to win and doesn't mind paying for it. Congrats to Kobe and the Lakers,we could only dream of having a basketball organization in Chicago that really wants to win and puts up the cash for it.

I hope the Pens win,I hate all Detroit teams...Go Penguins!

The reason Orlando can't beat LA is because Kobe has a supporting cast who can play unlike Cleveland which is James and a bunch of stiffs

Magic missed 15 FTs,aint gonna win that way...big 3 by Fish.

Balta,I messed up...my reply was aimed at Rangercal and I dumbly replied to yours,my bad...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2009 -> 09:40 PM) I haven't "Watched" a game on a weeknight the entire playoffs. Forgive me, I'm still at work. I do have the NBA audio league pass. What the hell do you got against San Antonio?Obviously you don't like defensive basketball?

I'll eat my shorts if the Lakers don't go 3-1...Magic can't hang with LA.

This is off topic but Whitewashed,you got the coolest avater ever...

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 07:53 AM) Were you asleep for the two-run bomb and the walk in the 9th? That BA had a 2 run dinger and a walk in a game doesn't mean he's Ted Williams...

Why don't all you idiots that love obssessing over how bad Wise is get it through your thick skulls that it's not his fault he's playing CF for the White Sox...it's KW and Ozzie's fault. If KW offered any of you scrubs half a million to go play 3rd base right now even though you guys suck to high heavens,how many of you would turn it down?Not many if any at all I bet...Wise is not very talented,we get that,but I don't boo White Sox players when they are trying their best,it's the organization's fault for not putting quality players out there. One more thing,this whole team is crappy,stop pretending it's only Wise fault we stink up the joint. BA is a dud,only thing he's got going for him is his glove because he looks lost at the plate.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) Just like Michael Jordan, dude!!!!11 umm,okay...O__O

Kobe struggled down the stretch o_o
