January 29, 200422 yr Author your official good news for the day - I cancelled my reservations this morning for various and sundry reasons. Zach23 and zach61, Steff, CK, RPS, etc., will miss you all - will see you opening day however unless you successfully hide from me - this will probably be the last SoxFest ever because without me buying all the crap I usually do, the vendors will make no money. if there were another SoxFest though I will make that one in 2005. Looks like me and 2k4 will now be the highest ranking officials of Soxtalk at Soxfest now... Sorry ya can't join us cw. Hope you have a good weekend nonetheless.

No Soxfest for you?! Gonna miss you there, hope I see you on opening day to tailgate in the cold and rain again.
January 29, 200422 yr Same here, at least this time it won't be 110 degrees. OMG... remember at Jimbo's we were melting!!! Ugh.. that was sooo gross!
January 29, 200422 yr OMG... remember at Jimbo's we were melting!!! Ugh.. that was sooo gross! Yeah, that sucked. And Bob was wearing all black that day too.
January 29, 200422 yr For those of you that wil be attending Soxfest, we are planning on having a WSI vs. Soxtalk snowball fight sometime over the weekend to end the debate once and for all of which board is better. If that doesn't work, we will move inside for a double-elemination arm-wrestling tourney. If all else fails, we'll just say screw it and buy each other drinks until noone can stand up straight anymore. Kidding, of course...

Everyone knows I can out drink anyone on either board and I refuse to choose a side!!
January 29, 200422 yr If it gets to a drinking contest.. it'll be a tie. Everyone knows I can out drink anyone on either board and I refuse to choose a side!! I have no idea how much I can drink. I have never hit my "limit". Hell, I've never even been drunk. I always run out of money first...
January 29, 200422 yr Hey Steff, any luck getting Maury to break open a piggy and go to SoxFest? He's been kind of incommunicado lately, preparing for the burial of Sox And Roll and all, but the last I heard, he was too disgusted with the lack of player acquisition to attend this year's festivities. I told him I thought the possibility of getting Aaron Rowand's autograph would be enough lure to draw him out... Update?
January 29, 200422 yr I have no idea how much I can drink. I have never hit my "limit". Hell, I've never even been drunk. I always run out of money first... Which at the Hyatt isn't hard to do Long time no see IWC, how are ya man?

I told him I thought the possibility of getting Aaron Rowand's autograph would be enough lure to draw him out... Update? I talked to him on Monday.. I will call him this afternoon. The issue is that he doesn't want to drive. I'll let you know what he says.
January 29, 200422 yr Which at the Hyatt isn't hard to do Tell me about it. I just about get culture shock seeing the prices of things in Chicago compared to Rockford. I'm used to paying 75 cents for a bottle of pepsi... Long time no see IWC, how are ya man? I've been hanging in there. Getting old and fat and complaining about the Sox. Same s***, different day...
January 29, 200422 yr I talked to him on Monday.. I will call him this afternoon. The issue is that he doesn't want to drive. I'll let you know what he says. "Doesn't want to drive"???? what. a. little. beeeeeyotch. Doesn't want to drive HOME, more like it.... Friends don't let friends.....you know the rest.....

January 29, 200422 yr "Doesn't want to drive"???? what. a. little. beeeeeyotch. Doesn't want to drive HOME, more like it.... Friends don't let friends.....you know the rest..... Yep. I just left him a message.. I'm sure he's just thrilled to death driving in this weather.. Also critic.. if you see Killa around tell him to let me know about Friday also. I sent him a PM and he didn't get back to me that lousy piece of &^#%$^$&%!
January 29, 200422 yr Good to hear. Hope to meet you up at the fest! Are you going to be there all three days? I should be in the bar on Friday night. Just look for the guy with long hair in a ponytail that (according to Jerry Manuel from WSI - Mr. Showtime here?) looks like a truck driver...

Just look for the guy with long hair in a ponytail that (according to Jerry Manuel from WSI - Mr. Showtime here?) looks like a truck driver... Yeah I'll be there all 3 days. I am going to be up there for the Friday night gathering. I'll be hanging around the doable one, so I will be easy to spot.
January 29, 200422 yr "Doesn't want to drive"???? what. a. little. beeeeeyotch. Doesn't want to drive HOME, more like it.... Friends don't let friends.....you know the rest..... He just called... he's 99.9% out.
January 29, 200422 yr He just called... he's 99.9% out. and I'm 99.7% not surprised.... He's a POOOSAHHHHH!!!! And off topic a bit - Mr. Ian Showtime is Jerry Manuel at WSI????? Wow.....I'd never have figured that out. Weird.
January 29, 200422 yr Yep. I just left him a message.. I'm sure he's just thrilled to death driving in this weather.. Also critic.. if you see Killa around tell him to let me know about Friday also. I sent him a PM and he didn't get back to me that lousy piece of &^#%$^$&%! Oh, and what's with Maury and the 99.9% s*** lately? He think he's MJ or something??? I've never met Killa - I've only been in the room for a couple of his furious postgame call-ins on the LATE, LAMENTED SnR. But I agree with your description of him as a lousy piece of &^#%$^$&%!
January 29, 200422 yr And off topic a bit - Mr. Ian Showtime is Jerry Manuel at WSI????? Wow.....I'd never have figured that out. Weird. If his name is Ian then that's right. To get even more off-topic, does Mario still post here? I thought he was one of the original creators of this site?
January 29, 200422 yr If his name is Ian then that's right. To get even more off-topic, does Mario still post here? I thought he was one of the original creators of this site? He does but not very often. ID=Molto.
