QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 4, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) I better stop watching the Hawks because I am not sure who the PBP man was before Pat Foley and I mean last year not his first go through or the PA address announcer before Gene Honda....crap and I was enjoying them so much. Oh well I better start my fan knowledge enhancement project by Wikipediaing Orval Tessia (sp?) The National Hockey League still exsists?Wow,I did not know that...it looks like my post rubbed some people here the wrong way and I guess I'm a bit older than the average fan here but you gotta know a bit about your favorite team,without knowing every single detail out there which is impossible.At least ya gotta know a few players from different eras,the sox did exsist before 2005.And I'm not claiming to be an expert at sox history since I started following them since the late 70s and many here weren't born yet,I realize that but I've read a bit on the history of the White Sox because I just find it interesting and not to try to claim that I'm more of a fan but there a bandwagon fans who were sox fans in 05 and would be Cub fans if they were to make it to the WS,those are the "fans" I was slamming.

Unfortunatly there were many a bandwagon type fan in attendance that couldn't name you one member of the South Side Hitmen or don't know who Jimmy Piersall is and didn't know that Harry Carey first started his take me out to the ballpark with the White Sox.

He is a HOFer in my book,then again I'm biased,he was my baseball idol growing up.

I like Thome but if we do get Abreau,I'd like to see him DH or platoon with Dye at RF,we could move Thome but I don't think you'd get much in return for an aging slugger who strikes out a lot and has had injury issues lately... Dye,I suspect would be the odd man out.

The Carribean Series is more like soccer's Champions League,where it's not really nation vs nation,it's baseball team representing that country's baseball league since you can have foriegn born players in each team from Puerto Rico,Mexico,Venezuela or Dominican Republic...where's Cuba anyway?They should be there.

What the hell,the rebroadcast of game 2 has no commentator audio,just as well,McCarver is annoying as f***.

The Bash on Owens threads are getting old as well as boring as hell.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jan 31, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Carlos Lee is a bum and a loser. It was a good move just to get him out of the clubhouse. I totally agree,it's no coincidence that that trade was key to the White Sox winning the WS,without that trade we'd have a team of sluggers with no chance of winning a title...Lee was just your typical bad defense slugger,they are a dime a dozen.

no matter how Joe Crede's sox career ended,he'll remain one of my fave sox players,just like Maggs and Big Hurt.

man,bobby was bringing it vs Bagwell

Anyone else notice Juan Uribe was about 15-20 lbs lighter in 2005?He packed on some lbs since then.

Touché

Damn,I hate those Viagra ads,the thought of old farts getting it on makes my wanna puke.

got my beer,ordered a large pizza,weather is nice here in TJ and gonna enjoy GM 1 of the 2005 WS like it was the first time...life is good being a sox fan:)

Wherever Crede ends up,the Twins is the last team I want to see him go to.I'd hate to have him have a monster comeback and be on the other side of his desire to whup our ass.

Mothers don't let your sons become Cubs fans...

Thank you MLB Network!!!Gonna record with my DVD recorder GM 5 of ALCS and all the World Series games,glad to see they'll rebroadcast GMs 3 and 4 because I was planning on missing the SB if it came down to a White Sox WS vs a SuperBowl that didn't include Da Bears!I've been enjoying the butt kicking the Cards gave the Tigers in the 06 WS these days:)

Ok,I don't know if anyone else posted this thought on Colon so at the risk of repeating something obvious,here goes...at the very least Colon should eat up a lot of innings this year,pun very much intended.

It's amazing how people here forget how frustrating it was to watch Javy,how soon everyone forgets how she folds in big games...I d rather take my chances on a 400 lb injury prone former Cy Younger or Contreras coming back or even one of our young arms then on Vazquez.

I don't get KW's obsession with Figgins but that's just me...also I dont get why a lot of posters here hate Owens,I agree that he is no Rickey Henderson but to say that he's one of the worst major leaguers ever is over the top,me thinks...let's give him a real shot at the big leagues to see what he can do.

I'm very iffy on the team we have right now but you never know,everyone thought last year that Det and Clev were gonna fight till the end for the Central and the Sox and Twins wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the division,so there you go...Thats why baseball rocks,it dont mean nothing on paper.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 07:24 PM) I too like retro and see nothing wrong with the BoSox new Unis.. I am not a big fan of the White Sox past unis. I really only like the 1912 unis... (White Sox Uniform History) They left out the goofy late 80's unis,the ones that had White Sox in blue with red trim handwritten across the chest and with the "C" shaped like an "e" on a blue cap with a red bill... horrible.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) I watched the 2005 WS video on there this morning. It never gets old. Hopefully they'll be running the 2005 WS vídeo after Jan.1 so I can record it with my DVD recorder to add to my library of White Sox games...of course I'll contact the Commissioner's office so I can get their express written permission before recording it,I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise.

The nerd who came up with that GRIT "stat" has waaaay to much time on his hands and obviously doesn't have a gf...
