QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) I'd put even money on the fact that Thome will be there Ross. Cool! Anyone able to spare two tickets? I'll bump this up later on, but just asking.

I know its "sold out," but I need to get 2 tickets for Friday so my dad and I can go...we'll discuss how much ticket prices are or the payment method. If you have some, give me a PM. By the way; anyone think Thome will be there?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) Bryan will be doing pre & post for Notre Dame mens basketball I hear which is good for him. I also hear that the Score will not be bringing him along to do the Sox pre & post.. which, IMO, is bad for Sox fans. No big loss, he wasn't THAT good anyway.

God, I can't stand people who boo our own players at the games. It really doesn't help them or make them feel welcome. Players have feelings too. Or should I say, why don't you get your ass out there and get someone out? Or why don't you be hired as GM? Yeah, thats what I thought.

Was at the game tonight. Now if only EVERY game was like that at the Cell. Jenks was the key to tonights game, there's no way in hell we would have won if he didn't get those two scoreless frames. Gooch too. That rally was sweet. Chats coming out of the ballpark were great. "Lets go sox" "SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP!!!" And I loved my seats sitting on the patio, I was 21 for 2 and a half hours. =)

Which only means we're going to get into that Series...and regain the respect we deserve from this town.

“Win or die trying” is the rooters rally cry Paulie is the tune they always sung Ozzie echoed April through October nights After serenading Selig, Williams and Reinsdorf Nancy is a maiden with a sparkling eye Nancy is a maiden with a love She doesn't know the meaning of her sight She's got an organ full of love And sometimes when the game is on the line Konerko always carried them away Up the road from 31st to the Dan Ryan The boys will always sing and sway Two! Three! Four! Division, "Nuf Ced" we shouted We're not here to mess around Chicago, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you White Sox, you are the only only only The real fans showed up at the cell one day They found their seats had all been sold We led the charge into the park Stormed the gates and put the game on hold The fans gave the other team a dreadful fright Chicago’s tenth man could not be wrong Up from 31st to the Dan Ryan They'd sing another victory song Two! Three! Four! Cubs suck, Ozzie Guillen shouted We're not here to mess around Chicago, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you White Sox, you are the only only only The fans gave the other team a dreadful fright Chicago’s tenth man could not be wrong Up from 31st to the Dan Ryan They'd sing another victory song Two! Three! Four! White Sox, "Win or Die Trying" Ozzie shouted We're not here to mess around Chicago, you know we love you madly Hear the crowd roar to your sound Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you White Sox, you are the only only only Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you Chicago, you are the only only only Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you White Sox, you are the only only only

I'm all for Steve Stone to come in and be commentator for us. But thats just me.

f*** Comcast

I like Paulie's. Its a Metallica song, and boy, hearing that with Paulie coming to the plate with runners on, it makes me chill.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) Buehrle needs to step up tomorrow, neither Garcia or Hermanson did tonite. I'll say this again, like I did to dad the other day. "Before the Sox get anywhere and win something, everyone on that 25 man roster needs their head out of their asses."

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:18 PM) Excuse me?I think that Borchard deserves a start or three before the season ends Your not excused. He's a fringy 26 year old piece of s*** that will always be a AAAA player that is a quarter back at heart and there are 5.6 million reasons why he's not out there and Dye is.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) This is the type of game which can easily be the beginning of the end for a team. This was one of the worst losses I can remember for the White Sox. This is THE worst loss I've seen the White Sox play in. EVER.

QUOTE(lord chas @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) you suck balls ozzie and wheres borchard Borchard sucks. Dye is MUCH better than Borchard. Borchard is a piece of s***.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:15 PM) We just lost to the f***ing KC royals with our number 2 pitcher going, our closer in, and our offense scoring 9 f***ing runs. This team doesnt deserve the f***ing playoffs. Hit it right on the noggin. We suck.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:15 PM) Hermy gets the first out and we get smoked. The Twins are going to kick our ass this weekend unless we wake up. It's all up to the Tribe. It's their division to lose now. We are a mess of a team. I agree. I can't stand this team right now. They truely suck.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Jermaine. Dye. SUCKS. We really SUCK

f*** this s***. If we go to the playoffs like this, we truely are garbage.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) All things being equal [no attitude problems, injuries etc] Vizcaino is about the only guy Marte could replace. I'd rather see BMac being the 11th pitcher on the playoff roster than Marte. Esp. seeing how both he and Jenks have much better splits vs LH hitters than RH hitters. Add in the fact that Marte may have burned some bridges, "losing" him isn't that big a deal. In fact, it may bring the team closer if Marte is a bit of a head case. Vizcaino has gotten better. I mean in his outing's he's cut down the amount of earned runs that bothered me early on in the year. Even in the games where they were up by 5 or so.

I'd start McCarthy. I know he has barely reached the minimum of pitching in the regular season, but its a good risk involved if you win, pushing Buehrle back a day with Garcia and then Hernandez starting if needed. At least, that's what I'd do.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) Havent been watching to much White Sox baseball, have we? I've been watching somewhat. I get busy in September. All I know is that we need to get to the playoffs first. We can't lolly gag and expect to make it. After all, we play 6 games against the Indians.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 05:31 PM) Woa. A Ross sighting. This really is serious. Hey bud. Hey, how's it goin! Yeah, I've just been busy, (the gf, school, friends and work keeps me busy) but I haven't forgot you guys.

Its not just Marte's fault we suck ass right now, and might not make the playoffs. You know, I heard the most stupid thing the other day when we were losing against Anaheim. Someone said, "hey, at least we're in the playoffs." Well we're not there yet, and Marte is the least of our problems, to be quite honest with all of you. I looked the other day at the whitesox.com's roster we had. Why the hell is Sanders up? He sucks, I remember him when he came up a few years ago...eh...god...can't blame Williams, after all, he did go to Stanford, so he "must" know what he's doing. I never really see Politte being used, to be honest with all of you. I am aware he's not a lefty. Use Cotts as the lefty if Marte is inaffective. Marte isn't going anywhere for right now, he's got 2.1 million on his contract for next year and I would believe once this bulls*** gets figured out, he'll be on the playoff roster.

Thanks for the PBP. I'm in Cabho, Mexico paying 50 pesos for an hour at a coffee shop to get internet access and get the game here. I get ESPN but am too tired to get up early to watch sports center. I hear we lost our last two, which is a bummer! Hope we do better! Go Sox!

QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) Are you talking about the episode where Homer has to pick up his car at the WTC? It was on about two weeks ago. wow. I thought they banned that because specifically speaking about the WTC.
