QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 01:21 AM) I rarely listen, but Oral Sox is a pretty good one. They usually have some White Sox bloggers on and stuff. I'm not sure if they are continuing in 2013 or not... Appreciated. I'll keep an eye on that one. Thanks.

Podcasts: I enjoy listening to White Sox Weekly with Chris Rongey each week, usually as a podcast in the day or two following the show. It's pretty much the only radio discussion I get to listen to around the Sox, with nothing much featuring yet on the weekday 670 The Score listening that I manage sometimes over the internet during my working day. Are there any particular podcasts out there that fellow Soxtalkers would recommend for a bit of discussion and analysis of the White Sox? Any good podcasts done by Sox fans? Or, in fact, any good podcasts dealing with baseball in general, beyond and including the White Sox?

JoxerDalyKDS Still more of a Facebooker, but check in on Twitter from time to time.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 13, 2013 -> 07:48 AM) It's still amazing Celtic made it this far considering their talent level. Juve is just another class though. Yeah, it was always going to be a big ask. In actual fact, we gave a much better account of ourselves than the three goal margin would suggest. We had them under severe pressure for long periods of the game - alas, they took their opportunities to score, whereas we didn't. The whole "ball in the net" thing aside, I'm actually quite heartened by how well we played, if that makes sense.

Happy birthday(s).

Nearly back in Dublin after a punishing bus journey... bad result but, hey, what can you do. We've lost a few bodies along the way, too.

A few whiskeys, nothing too mad, to limber up before the 22hr round trip to Glasgow tomorrow for some Champions League football. Few Celtic songs on the go to add to the mood. Happy days!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) I got it. I just am not on your extreme level of humor. ;-) I was actually being quite restrained... I hadn't actually looked in on this thread in an age until yesterday. Where are we up to now with Reddy's epic saga?

Discussions like this one about the ground, or the tickets thread, really make me look forward to the day that I will eventually make it to the Cell and get to attend a Sox game in person. God knows when that day will be, but hopefully not too many years away.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 12:37 AM) Originally, pretty much WTF? I'm not shocked to hear that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 9, 2013 -> 12:20 AM) At least last year we hired a new manager...there was some excitement about that... What was the general reaction to Robin's appointment like on here?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 03:13 PM) Women are hilarious. So Valentine's Day - no one really wants to do anything special on a Thursday night, so we like most people will celebrate next Saturday (16th). I planned a wonderfully nice evening, and we're good to go. Then, of course, I get this question - "What are we doing on Thursday night? Anything?" Now honey - I we already have a day set aside! :lol: My wife is pretty cool about this, I have to say. We've only gone out for dinner on Valentine's Day (which also doubles as the anniversary of when we first got together) once. We usually just do a nice meal in, a cosy night, a few drinks and a film. This year's going to be even more low-key as our daughter will be just three weeks old that day.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 8, 2013 -> 05:19 PM) Lol they were talking about strap on and s***. I didn't even see how it got to that area. What? It all seemed fairly logical to me. Honestly, some people!

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 6, 2013 -> 03:48 AM) As of today, I'm no longer a college baseball player. Got taken down by a kind of weird shoulder injury -- our training staff really doesn't know why I have it beyond "throwing is bad for you" and "you must have gotten it a long time ago." I was lucky enough to get an excuse to stick around the team...I now will start doing play by play for our video streaming service for home games. I get a little money, a drastic reduction in time commitment, and I don't abandon a program that was good to me. Win win. Ah, that's a pity. But, as said above, glad it's working out for you to a certain degree.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Oh, I wasn't commenting on the strap-on session...just the animal sacrifice... Sorry, your vote was counted as an 'yes' on the strap-on question and can't be changed. The ratio stands at 2:1. Scandalous carry-on.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) People into santeria do animal sacrifice and what not...I don't think it was a few harmless icons... So, not to jump to conclusions or anything, we're currently running a 2:1 ratio of people who think that pettie4sox would be into a strap-on session with the woman he just confessed to cheating on. Like I say, not to jump to conclusions.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) Maybe he's in to that kind of stuff? True. Although, given that the guy got freaked out by a few harmless religious icons, I don't think he'll be into getting pumped off his missus!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 12:15 AM) Hopefully the Sox are as well. Exactly! Can we talk up the Royals too, while we're at it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) Vote early and often! Only got around to voting there today. Best of luck mate.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) I don't think she's that vindictive. We'll see. I am ready to face whatever consequences that arise from my infidelity. Still, though, I'd advise against buying her that strap-on for Valentine's Day, vindictive or not...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) He was talking about retirement at Soxfest last night. Oh? Any more on this?

Terribly irresponsible comment from Sale. He obviously doesn't read the Healthy Eating Thread.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 23, 2013 -> 05:47 AM) im not quite sure why this weighty task falls on me every year Because the Soxtalk Dipso Brigade are sticklers for tradition?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 23, 2013 -> 08:09 PM) Of all the stupid ideas in the world, this is brilliant. Yeah, it's genius! Followed closely by, having introduced his entire class to this forum, starting a thread on the subject so that any residual lurkers will know exactly which guy their teacher is. Love it!

Fairly uneventful weekend for me in terms of sport. Action for both Celtic and the Dublin Gaelic footballers, but preparation for the upcoming baby arrival vetoed any attendance plans. Celtic won 4-1 earlier today, Dublin in action tomorrow. I'm hoping to do a charity cycle in the summer, so I'll be out on the bike first thing tomorrow morning. That's about it really. What's on your radar?
