What erp, figured I should reprise my role of drunkenness.

Still looking... I moved out to DC 1 month ago in search of a job in politics. I've handed out or submitted over 100 resumes. Everyone I talk to out here for informational interviews says I'm "more than qualified for such and such" and to keep looking.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 06:19 PM) Can anyone think of anything that has happened on the Sox this year that has cost the starters wins? There might have been a couple games lost in the 9th inning, I can't really remember...

Hey remember when I said we would take 3, maybe sweep Boston? Because Boston was 'off' and their pitching was slacking? Well, looks like our face was the spring board they needed. Yeah, that prediction sucked. Maybe I should pay more attention to the doom-and-gloomers...

Thankfully JD got some love on this month's wallpaper because it looks like he was thrown into this pic as an afterthought. It's like they tried to hide the black guy behind the whitest players we can put on the field.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) Viciedo is the 1st base prospect of the future. It is why Allen was much more expendable than some would have liked. Beckham is the 3b of the present and future. Ramirez the SS of the present and future. I think that prediction is going to upset a lot of people on the board but I imagine it is the most likely, barring a big move for a big 1B

I love how Hawk was JUST talking about how we can come back when they get out to an early lead. You can almost hear the period at the end of his last sentence right before the crack of the bat from Kubel.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) ASSHOLE THANKS FOR MAKING THE WHITE SOX LOSE What made that so much funnier was that I envisioned the baby in your avy yelling that phrase. Perfect.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) At least something involving Linebrink would have a happy ending... Simply awesome. On the topic of getting rid of Javy and Swish, can someone remind me: did we have an opportunity to not bring Jose back this past off-season?

Anyone else have little faith in Nix's at-bat right now? I admit I love seeing him at the plate, just not with RISP and 2 out. Based on absolutely no stats but it feels like he never comes through in the clutch Edit: It's looking up, Hughes is a first pitch fastballer and Nix is Nix... Edit2: Lame.

Looked like Gordo had a beat on that the whole way, wonder what happened...

Already a better offensive and defensive day than yesterday. And then there's Freddy...

Good thing Scott legged that out for 3. Had he stayed at 2nd, we would've squandered a lead-off double again.

That's the way to start this game off! Now assuming Scotty doesn't get picked off, we have 3 chances. To get him in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 06:41 PM) The La Canada fire is probably 10 miles from me. Closest wildfire to me since I've been here. I'm assuming that webcam shows some sort of view but is just obscured by all the smoke? I've got some friends in various regions of California and they all say the air is so smokey and they're not even close to the fires. Kind of crazy, those forest fires are always just a news blurb that don't mean much to me but then I realize that a lot of people are actually affected by them every year.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 11:47 PM) For the Fire Walker thread also Is that Barry Bonds in a Chuck Norris film?

Nick Cage is turning into the new Jean-Claude Van Damme. And for those getting upset with this thread, I believe the intent was to make fun of all of the threads that are "FIRE SO AND SO". At least that's how I interpreted it. Either way, Nicolas Cage has made an appearance.

Illi sighting at second base

Yay, first to 100! Wait... not RBIs? First to 100 ERRORS? Awesome.

My head just exploded because of that throw.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 09:10 PM) Its almost like he sees very fast guys on the basepaths. This where someone better than I inserts one of those comic strips of Ozzie talking about loving speed. I believe it was about BA or maybe Lillibridge, not sure. Actually, probably Owens haha.

Jose Liney Pods Dye Jenks List of good contributors destroyed by this board. Fields BA Wise (Actually, just CF) Nix Lillibridge List of role-players destroyed by this board. Yes, some of these guys deserve some non-love, but the hate has gone too far this year. I know some people will say they deserve it but let's look at this realistically: they are professionals, they did something to earn the spot, and they did the best they could with what they had. No one is going out on the field looking to fail. If they failed, that's unfortunate for us. But some times people rag on a player that is or has performed well, saying this or that. Sometimes the staff just needs to work with them a little (see Jose's first 5 starts). Basically, this whole "get rid of so-and-so" is getting old. We have what we have, the club needs to deal with it and we as fans need to deal with it.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 07:24 AM) I'm an idiot - I thought the DH was tonight (Tuesday), and I could have made it last night. On the bolded - so true. I really enjoy sweetwater but hate that I can't get Goose Island down here. I just had a dream that they made a new and awesome version of 312. I woke up so bummed out. Way to start my day.

Jose = a flaccid penis. There, I said it.

I'm in if Jose is out
