June 27, 200520 yr QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Well this morning, at 8 am, my parnets woke me up and told me we were having a "family day" in Chicago which included going to the taste. Let's just say I wasn't too happy since today was my first day off of work in a long time and I was planning on hanging out with my girlfriend. At about noon I realized that it was White Sox day as I was flipping through the program. I only waited in line about 45 minutes, most of the time in the shade so it wasn't too bad. Willie seemed like an ass but Freddy was nice and so was B-Mac. What time did you actually get in line?
June 27, 200520 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) What time did you actually get in line? It was about 12. I was out of line at 12:45, I thought it was moving nicely.

June 27, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) I wouldn't touch those paws if I were you
June 27, 200520 yr Has anyone on this board ever been impressed after meeting him? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It doesn't seem like it.
June 27, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) Why was Willie an ass? What did he do? Just curious... He was talkin on his phone the whole time and just signed a bunch of his picture things before people got there and just handed them to us as we walked by. Seemed really cocky.
June 27, 200520 yr He was talkin on his phone the whole time and just signed a bunch of his picture things before people got there and just handed them to us as we walked by. Seemed really cocky. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That makes it sound like he didn't want talk to or deal with anyone. Haha, what a lazy punk. Get rid of the ego, Willie. You're not that good. Try hitting the ball out of the infield sometime instead of grounding out to the 2nd baseman every friggin' AB. Edited June 27, 200520 yr by Jabroni

June 27, 200520 yr yes! He lets me hug him! and he's always singing! He's just an awesome dude! He is so sweet! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I heard Willie likes young white girls. Edited June 27, 200520 yr by Jabroni
June 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) I heard Willie likes young white girls. I was wondering how long it would take someone to say that.
June 28, 200520 yr I got there about 10:45 today...the line was a breeze...They showed up around 11:25...I was out of there by 11:35...The line was a breeze. In fact, the people in front of me went back in line 3 times. I went in once...Freddy Garcia signed a card of mine..told him he pitched a great game and good luck....he said thank you.. Willie gave me one of those pictures...I told him nice play yesterday...He said thanks man but ozuna's was better. And finally Bmac signed a baseball in the sweet spot...told him I've seen a couple of his posts on soxtalk.com and he said yeah the sites great... Bmac is cool as hell... It was a hot but pretty good day overall...

June 28, 200520 yr I saw B-Mac sign for a young kid during his windsprints on Wednesday before the game. He could have pretended not to hear the kid in the bleachers but he went out of his way. Nice move, glad he's around
June 28, 200520 yr I told B-Mac that I had read a lot about him on Futuresox.com and he got a good laugh out of it. Now where's my prize Jason?

Seemed really cocky. OH NOES YOU MEAN HE TOOK THE TIME OUT OF HIS DAY TO DO SOMETHING AND HE DID A HALF ASSED JOB? BANISH HIM TO HELL
June 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) BANISH HIM TO HELL Yes, please do. He can't give an hour of attention to people who took off work, or braved the hot weather to stand in line and get an autograph from a player of their favorite team.. who was PAID to appear... He's an ass.. always has been, always will be.
June 28, 200520 yr Steff is right. Willie wasn't there for free. He was there because he was obligated to appear by his employers most likely, or he was paid by Taste organizers. Either way, don't feel too sorry for him.
June 28, 200520 yr Would you rather wait in the heat to talk to BMac and Garcia? Or wait in line to talk to BMac and Garcia and get a signed picture from Willie?

Or wait in line to talk to BMac and Garcia and get a signed picture from Willie? I'm not even keeping my Willie picture that he signed. I hate him. You can have it if you want. I was only there for Freddy and B-Mac.
