The Beast

See, when we win and some of these guys are the heros of the game, I'm going to love to see all of the quotes that people should bring up on this board. 2-1 White Sox win, anyone?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:26 PM) Sheffield terrifies me. Urlacher terrifies me.

The last thing I really want to say about umpires for today is that if we lose this game, I hope that we don't blame it on officiating. That'd be terribly lame.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) I'll throw in the sack. Who's throwing in the stick?

Playoff teams find a way to overcome various kinds of adversity, lets see if we're a playoff team today. Let's go Gavin!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) Wise is so bad, so so bad. This game is over Okay, if you feel that way, sign off. Everyone, this game is over because joesaiditstrue. Let's go White Sox!!!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:12 PM) *turns to ignore button* Have fun!

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) Horses*** strike call. Man, if you were one of the fans or coaches that were at one of the games I was umpiring, you'd have fun sitting in your car because I don't babysit 40-year-old men.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) nobody directed anything at you and your umpiring abilities this time. we're allowed, though, in america, to comment on the umpire in this game. Then I can respond back even though it is not directed at me.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) calm down. none of this crap again. lets watch the game Then honestly, I want none of that crap again. You're right for both sides of the argument, let us just watch the game.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) umpire's zone is changing durastically from the first inning some of these strikes were not called in the first Are you calling for the radar gun to call balls and strikes? Do you want to use machines to make "safe/out" and "ball/strike calls?" You've just got to deal with it, it is part of the game. People can b**** all they want, nothing will change.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:04 PM) that DiMuro guy is a bad umpire. OK Hawk.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) Use ESPN Gamecast. Tried it, the computer has it blocked.

Can someone give play by play of the game? I can't get gameday on this computer and I'm on my radio show trying to follow the game and let the listeners know what is going on.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) I go to ISU. Hell we just lost to EIU in football. Still are my number one college team though. At least our basketball team is good. I'm aware that ISU just lost to football, but honestly, not many people care here. I'd care if there were people that actually want to go to games. Our football team is decent and our basketball team is OK, but I'm really more of a Big Ten guy. If anything, we can agree to disagree.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) I don't think you need instant replay for calls like tonight. Although it is very annoying when Hawk starts his umpires rant, I think there is some truth to having the best umpires work the games that matter. That pick off wednesday was huge, and so was Swishers check swing. There's no way that instant replay would have confirmed the fair ball call. The picture wasn't clear enough to do anything with it. Hawk always needs to do that rant, and that is why I find him to be ridiculous. I might be able to see the pickoff and Swisher's check swing, but calls can go for or against you, it just happens. Good teams actually come over adversity and find ways to win. Obviously last night that did not happen, and that is why I do not see the Sox either getting to the playoffs or going past the first round.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Lame, cheer for your school. Because you know, you go there, and not U of I. If you went to EIU and saw the amount of people who gave a crap about sports teams here, you'd cheer elsewhere too. I mean, I'll root for both teams, but I favor the Illini.

No way. If they do full-blown instant replay, I am going to quit my job as an umpire. I could easily be a barista. The human aspect of the game is what makes this game so unique and wonderful.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) Why are you part of the UIUC network and wearing an orange shirt in your pic? Because my girlfriend goes to U of I, we were at the EIU/U of I game. I am not an EIU Panther fan. I didn't get into U of I, but it doesn't mean they aren't my college team? I'm apart of that network because when I signed up I had no idea of what to do, so I just signed up for the UIUC network---I assume I'll change it back to Chicago or something later on.

Alright, I'm in. I've conformed.

No kidding, there's someone who goes to EIU in that group other than me. That is, if I wanted to join the group.

Hawk just s*** in his diaper. Easy there old man.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 09:24 AM) I think I hate that bellowing hot dog guy even more than the ROWDIE thing, although both are horrible. How about the beer vendor who seems like he's got throat problems? "MILLLERRRR LIGGGGGGHHTTTTT."

QUOTE (Texsox @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Stone is the bridge to the future, a future without Hawk. I look forward to the day where I don't have to hear Hawk's voice or see his beak-like nose on the television. I hope DJ says no to the Sox and goes to the Cubs or some rival of ours, because I can't stand the s*** that the Sox pull on people in the media. Oh well---here's to me wanting a younger voice when watching the Sox games. I wish DJ the best in wherever he goes.

I was just reading White Sox transactions on whitesox.com and I saw that they have Franklyn German down in the minors. Do you guys think that he's going to get called up? Anyone know much about him?
