The Beast

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gregg Zaun. That was a real freaky situation. I remember when Hee Seop Choi had a similiar incident like this and he was okay. An ambulance came on the field and everything. I hate neck injuries, they scare me so bad. One blow to the neck and your normal life is over. Gosh, I hope he's okay.

Why are they devastated? The cheating bastards know they did it... Its the league that has lost its credibility...

I think that I am more comfortable with him out there now that we have better defense, since he's a sinkerballer...and I think we're in better shape with him as the 5th starter.

Bumping the thread today. It looked like Crede did the same thing as before, and got the base. Rowand getting hit looked similiar as well. Now I see how bogus that call was.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) 7 years?? I thought you were like 16? Started when I was 10...cuz I wasn't playing because I had hurt my arm. I'm now 17, so I figure its been about 7 years.

AM 1000 is at a cross-roads. I have spoken with Len Weiner, the program director, and he says the Bulls contract was an expensive, bad deal. But he needed to bite onto them to get the White Sox. I think that if they lose Mac, then they lose lots of listeners to the score. Yeah, you could replace him with Golic, just because he's heavy too, which is part of the joke, they are all heavy... Mac is an amazing character, and I don't see why he'd want to leave his co-hosts on the panel...although I do remember him being heated with Harry off the air at one point. Either way, they are all hysterical, and when ESPN lost Kornheiser to TV and change of career, things were different. Juday, Defalco and the younger guys could make for an interesting show too, because they seem to be in the know of what young men want... Possible change with the MJH show compared to the previous 'Huge Show?'

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 08:02 AM) Wouldn't there possibly be long - term side effects from doing that? To be honest with you, it does, but in my situation, it didn't. My ball and socket joint was like this too, except in my shoulder. Eventually they numbed me up, and it healed on its own.. I know its not the same, however, it works...no long term affects here.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Now, i know this is hardly ever called. But it's never called because most HBP in question come on pitches where the batter "doesn't make an attempt" to get out of the way and they usually just let it slide. This was drastically different. Not only did he not move, but the pitch wasn't going to hit him. On a really slow curveball, he started his swing, stopped, and dropped his elbow in a blatant attempt to get hit by the pitch. As an umpire (and i have been one for 4 years), you have to call that, period. Otherwise you almost can't call anything if a guy ever gets hit by a ball. Umps made the right call. Flame them all you want for the rest of the series - no arguments there. But this call can't be lumped in with the rest of the series due to bias. As a 7 year veteran umpire, this is the right call. Crede needs to make an effort to get out of the way, period. Similiar situation that I had in my game that had me toss 3 coaches that were arguing with me.

1999. hey, the kids can play, thats when I started watching baseball. 2000. Amazing season.

Played WSF56789 today and lost in the 5 inning game 3-2 to the Nationals. I was the White Sox. Played him in an unranked game and won...Thomas got the game winning homerun to win it for Shingo Takatsu, 3-2.

I just got the game Monday...and I'm still looking for Widger and Ozuna. Got the downloadable rosters. Hopefully going to get my ass kicked by wsf56789 soon... add me to ur friends list and throw me a PM...Uthanak1122 is my name online. Was down 4-1 to cleveland...3 straight walks with wickman...and Thomas belted a grand slam to straight away center.

Like Ozzie says, "go home, get drunk, come out and play again..." Seriously, there's going to be wild games like that one, it happens... That was just an ugly game on both sides, and Oakland came out on top... That balk call was bulls***, and Widger had that runner at home plate. Those are my thoughts.

Give them Politte...

I would not mind seeing BMac against the Tigers. White Sox rookies coming up usually do well in their first game. Stewart wasn't that bad when he pitched against the Tigers, IIRC.

How do you guys like the re-aquisition of Carl Everett now? Now you see why we dealt 6 minor leaguers in 2 years for him? Thomas coming back wouldn't create the best situation. He can't run...he's not fast, and he doesn't fit our plans. I mean yeah, he's a DH, but still...he'd be a good pinch hitter for any club IMO.

As of 3:23 AM this morning, I am now the oldest sophomore in the grade...but you know, who cares, cuz its so much fun being older than the rest. I got my umpire equipment yesterday as well as my Pearl Jam CD I've been wanting...and I'm getting MVP 2005 today as well. The only thing that could complete this day is seeing the White Sox win and hanging out with the girlfriend, taking her to dinner or something like that... Thanks all I'm quite...giddy!

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) Or face the wrath of Quick. The wrath? Oh god, fear the wrath of Terry...ahh..run...

Here is all I need to say. We are all White Sox fans. There are two types of fans...the deuche bags and the passionate fans. The deuche bags will come out and make asses of themselves and just be critical of players by saying "f*** Crede" or "suck my balls Konerko, you suck..." I sit there and laugh at them because they are all ignorant and dumb...if they knew half of what baseball was about, they could talk. These f***ers also get up during the action and do not have proper etiquette. Half of them are drunk bastards who make your experience a living hell. They are also the ones who are critical of the umpire, and the umpire is the one who makes the calls, not those f***ers. Example: I went to a game last year with the girl friend and I sat in front of a few guys who were all rude, loud and obnoxious. It really bothered me that they were doing this so I got the security guard and he told them off. However, they came back, and returned adjacent to me. They smoked and when I asked them to stop, a guy threatened me. At this point I just gave up, and moved down to some available seats, as the usher understood the situation. Then we have the passionate fans. These ones can back s*** up when they discuss an arguement. I've seen them, the ones like JimH and quickman, they know what they are talking about. I myself show signs of it sometimes, but my reputation here diminishes me to talk like this, no one expects anything out of me. Basically these fans will get food and drink after the inning or wait til the action is over and sit down. I'm glad there is a thread about this because what I see at the park sometimes is total bulls***. Just because you buy a ticket doesn't mean you get to be an asshole, a deuche bag and a piece of s*** at the game.

I don't know if I like Benson yet...I see too much of Ricky Williams in him... And I really don't like that we didn't pick Williams, unless Angelo knows of a trade.. I really am hoping we get Nugent.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 06:25 AM) Beastly did you like the seats? Loved them...was a great experience..I might ask you for two more seats eventually, cuz i might want to bring 2 other friends with...that is if your willing to sell for a game or such..pm me

Guillen isn't a prick. I loved his quote this morning...in the trib...and...you know, there's no problem with him being honest...who can even understand Ozzie anyway?

To Quickman... What a gem by Buehrle and your buddy did well today, how do you feel? To the more intelligent JimH... How did you like your dinner brought to you by quickman?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) That is a great picture. At least you did not have some fat hispanics in front of you who had downed 3 nachos and brought burritos with him to the game...imagine 2 of them at 300 lbs and ripping ass...oh...sick

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) Beastly your not wrong for being like that, s*** my parents told me the same stuff when I was a teenager.. I still do it anyways because I want to.. I got you, I know what you mean. Don't get me wrong-I've been tempted to do some of that stuff, however, my guilt got to me...the questions I had asked to myself... Can I ever regain my parents trust if they caught me? Could I ever deal with the people at school who already mock me and make fun of me and see them make fun of my kid and I? Would my parents help me with the baby? I'd obviously be there for the young woman I'd be sleeping with, however, I don't think I could ever forgive myself if something was to be wrong. This is why I consider my morals and that I respect young women and their virtue. They deserve credit, they carry the excess weight, the boobs, they have the babies, and have the periods, I mean seriously, why shouldn't u respect them. Thats why whenever I see people mistreating girls, I slap the guys upside the face and pull their shirt and slam them to the wall...those guys are all f***ers, and usually are just in it for the action anyway...
