You remember last season?  Mercy.

 

Soxtalk and WSI both got f***ed up because people wanted to go online and type, "f***ING MARTE!  f***ING KOCH!".  :banghead

Great read. I nominated it for "Thread of the Year" during the 2004 Soxtalk Awards.

 

Perhaps worse than the actual loss was the off day afterwards. You just wanted the team to take the field and shake off the horrendous bullpen collapse.

Anyone else think it is funny that the game thread for last year opening day was started 6 hours early and the one for this year was started over two months early? Haha, I love it. Can't wait for the game to start. 12 hours to go.

I have to get up for school in 5 hours and I can't sleep, ugh. Oh well, I think I'm just going to try and convince my mom to let me take the whole day off instead of going for the first 3 periods.

Be cool, stay in school!

Haha. There's no way I'm going to go to school now, I just can't sleep so I'm going to find some way to convince my mom to let me take the whole day off. I mean it's senior year anyways, means nothing And even if it did, I know my priorities, the sox are much more important then school.

Will there be an evening replay? I don't feel like checking...

If you don't go to school you are a fool.

Forget it, I checked.

I'm blowing of two classes tomorrow, but I never said I wasn't a fool.

I'd blow off school for opening day if I were you, too. Missing one day won't hurt. Have fun man.

[i LiVe FOR THiS]

 

I look at the Indians roster and it doesn't look like a strong offensive club as Hafner and Martinez are the only real great hitters, but somehow Eric Wedge gets them to play well. I still don't think they will be as good offensive this year, some of thier guys had career years and will not repeat them with the exception of Hafner and Martinez. However, where they might regress in hitting, the rotation is solid and they got a better bullpen. All in all, it's going to be a great competitive year.

I'll be on the road during opening day cuz of a recent job acquisition. So I'll be tuning into the radio, I just hope that I can get the channel that the Sox are on to come in.

I have to miss it, but I'll listen to the replay tonight w/ peanuts, hot dogs, and some beer. (Yes, I am that much of a loser.)

 

Go Sox!!!

I couldn't even sleep. I'm so fricken excited about today. I think we're gonna start this season off well.

MERRY OPENING DAY!

 

Getting ready to go to the game soon.

Get out of class at 11:15 my time then I haul ass home to watch the Sox game.

Have a great time for everyone who is going to game, and tailgating a SoxTalk hook up. Let's hope the Sox can get off on the right foot this year, too bad I'll be missing since I'm off to bed.

Oh my god it's here. Every October, I can't imagine myself surviving a whole 6 months without White Sox baseball and yet somehow I do. Weather forecast looks great guys, have an awesome opener and go Sox.

Less than an hour, and I'll be on my way to the Cell!

 

f*** yeah! Cheer loud had home, folks -- they're gonna need all the juice they can get (and I'm not talking about cream and clear).

Those of us who can't get to the game today are counting on all of you to cheer the Sox on to victory!

Taking off in 15 minutes.

 

LETS GO SOX!
