August 22, 200520 yr f*** you ESPN. Their are plenty of things about the Sox to talk about or list as greatest sports moments: Bobby Thigpen's Save Record of 57 which will probably never be broken Frank Thomas The 83 Team Mayor Daily's Celebration of the 59 team Today's team They didn't mention the Sox once.
August 22, 200520 yr Do they announce the results of the poll at some point? The Sox are winning by 2 percentage points, and I didn't see anything about it.
August 23, 200520 yr is there somewhere to complain. Im calling in on mike and mike tomorrow morning.
August 23, 200520 yr For you guys that are saying that there was no mention of the White Sox, to be accurate, they made a brief mention of the White Sox having the best record in the AL when they showed the graphic that said how long it had been since each Chicago team other than the Flubs had gone without a playoff series win. I do however agree that they had absolutely nothing in terms of White Sox history or players or tradition in it, and that that is complete bulls***. I think Mac, Jurko, and Harry might hear from a certain Sox fan about it in their Critics at Extra Large segment tommorrow.
August 23, 200520 yr What about the fact that they were showing all of the sports arenas in Chicago, starting with the Jordan statue outside the UC then to the lake front and Soldier Field then they show a Mcdonald's and then on to Wrigley. The Sox do not exist. They make is blatent, it's f***ing sad.
August 23, 200520 yr No surprise I come to expect this from ESPN but i mean mcdonalds over the cell no matter what state you live in you can see a mcdonalds.

August 23, 200520 yr f*** ESPN. If I was the White Sox management, I would not allow ESPN to televise any more White Sox games, or even allow any of their reporters the chance to get in the stadium and interview the players. They want to ignore the White Sox? Thats fine, the Sox should ignore them right back.

August 23, 200520 yr Are you talking about ESPN's 50 in 50? I just saw that segment and there was no mention of anything White Sox. Unreal.

August 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 12:31 AM) Correct on all counts. No dis to the Illini, but they mentioned last year's basketball team and did not mention anything White Sox!!!??? What a joke. :fyou

What a joke. :fyou They mentioned the El Train and McDonald's with no mention of the Sox. I find both of those more offensive and upsetting.

August 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) Regardless of whether or not the Sox win this stupid poll, they are not more popular in Chicago than the Cubs, to say nothing of the Bears. shhhhh, let the kids dream
August 23, 200520 yr Actually, they had more Twins highlights (one) than White Sox highlights (zero) during that segment.
August 23, 200520 yr I normally find this obsessive ESPN bashing annoying but no more that was an absolute joke last night. I could not believe that they did not even mention our team's name. f*** ESPN!!! I'm tired of this s***.
August 23, 200520 yr Its Chris Berman that f***ing asshole. He says White Sox fans are the worst in baseball because the fans booed Clemens at the 2003 allstar game. He also said we are drunken morons that always run onto the field and cause chaos. Well Chris Berman, you doosh bag- we are the best fans in the world, we are one of the oldest teams in baseball- we haven't won a world series since 1917, Frank Thomas historic #'s deserve to be mentioned, hell mention the 1919 Blacksox scandal, the disco demolition nite, shoeless joe, bo jacksons big homerun clincher in '93, talk about old comiskey park. talk about us having the AL's best record. What a bunch of ignorant assholes. I hope this motivates our guys even more to make it to the big series. Where the hell is the respect you dooshbags?!? How can you not mention that we have 2 teams in this town. Thats the most ignorant segment i have ever saw. f*** ESPN
August 23, 200520 yr i really hope comcast steals MLB from them, and then i hope the nba opts out of its espn/abc tv contract. and then whats espn left with? monday night football and college sports. f*** espn, f*** sportscenter. beonbard dan patricks show with emails and phone calls to find out why the sox where left off. then when we get an answer, take the next step.
