The Beast

Thats what I'm worried about.

I know I shouldn't listen to Chicago Cub fans, but they say he is the worst pitcher. Look, I'll calm, but I'm not just talking about this series, dude. I'm talking about '05. I'll chill out when this race gets looser and Minny dies and so do these stupid s***ty Maggs rumors die too.

Do you even know what it is like sitting here getting IM's and phone calls by cub fans and not even knowing what to say any more? I'm not saying if we lose the series its the end of the world, but honestly, we are in a tough spot at the end of the year. We can't afford to lose against bad teams like we are today...

Exactly. Why can't we name it an original name like Cubs vs Sox Game thread?

*Bump* *Bump* *Bump* my head on my desk... Seriously this organizations position right now sucks. We have a potential free agent in Magglio Ordonez, a few trades being made, hurt feelings to be had if Ordonez is traded, a load of messes if Garcia and Ordonez leave via free agency and all this jazz about losing to the cross town rival Chicago Cubs...I don't know if we can consider this team to be a winning playoff team. Right now I'm not sure about the division either. That Minnesota series wasn't a fluke, but how do you even compare this by losing to a team who has lost all of these players and such, and by not getting any hits in this washup today. I can't understand anything right now and right now I am very confused of what Kenny Williams expects to do with all of this. Are we worthy of being a playoff team? Will we lose this game and tomarrow as well, therefore being humiliated til next year? Will we get a trade not involving Magglio? (Or is that not possible, we MUST trade Magglio to get jack diddly squat.) We need Magglio right now, not get rid of him. Maybe we weren't in line for that fortune cookie when we gave up Olivo. Its very hard to swollow right now. Do I need to calm down and say to myself, its only 1 series, we have plenty more, or what else is needed to relieve my worries and anxiety about this ballclub?

I really don't see the point of why we let Diaz go today...potential of rain, mount screwed up, a humid day and the bats are hot, whats up there?

Very Good, Very good. I'll be having little interviews at Fuji Film Photo Day in August with the players.

Rome's contract expires very soon. Mariotti pulls people in and listens to all of you guys on the "whiner line"

It again is not violent contact. I checked my rulebook, it is when an opposing coach or player bumps, touches, or throws you. I'll stick by what it says.

Why listen to the Score when ESPN Radio 1000 is our flag station? I don't understand how the Cubs factor into ESPN though when they have their own special show and we got nada...

Cerb...how you been man? Nice job taking it from WSI...whoo were going to burn these guys today, I'm serious.

I'm not getting ready to rule out this trade, but I doubt it is going to happen. Atlanta will want so much from us, and in the end, I think it will do nothing but hurt us.

Well Prior was Jesus Christ last week at the Cell and Buckner had none of it

cwsox...check your pm's...i sent you one, and I'm not sure if you got it from me. Also...what is your political opinion on bringing illegal fireworks, M-80's, bottle rockets and such into Illinois?

I need to make a sign for when I go to the park and sit in the outfield. "Management: Re-sign Ordonez"

I know as a rule if u touch the umpire, your out of here. I'm an umpire.

Forgot to say...if its like extremely new like '04, '03...we probably won't have it...we have the more new "hit" songs...

We'll see what we have. I couldn't believe we didn't have anything yesterday! I knew we had AC/DC and Neil Young...but I couldn't find it. Anyone like modern hard rock or modern rock and classic rock here?

A key part of the article. I love what KW said in the first sentence about the X amount of dollars!

Forgot to mention Rick Hahn (SP?) who I met on the elevator this year at Soxfest. "Sir, was that KW who just passed us." "Yes." Dad: "Man they hammered him at the Sox Fest Q and A seminar today." Rick: "Yeah, thats because White Sox fans are passionate about their team, and Cub fans are drunken hicks who don't know what they are talking about."

I was sad to hear that because Brenly was such a knowledgeable guy, therefore he should not be canned, his salary isn't bad, its the players. Johnson to the Yankees? Red Sox?

:fyou Fisk!

Met Rocky Biddle, a hell class act of a guy. Met Wunsch, is a cool guy, but a lot of others hate em. Signaled up to the Press Box that I wanted an autograph with Hawk, he told me to come up, and I was let in for an autograph with Hawk and DJ. Frank Thomas again is an awesome guy. I always get an autograph whenever he is there, as well as Magglio. Last Friday, I asked Ozzie for an autograph and the security guard told me to go away and I said why is the kid getting one, sir? Ozzie said throw it here, and I threw his Topps RC down to him. I also got Garland that day.

The guy doesn't have to give us respect for us to give him respect. I know that makes me sound like a Cub fan, but seriously, all I think of Mariotti is I like reading him because of the opinion he brings, you love him, or hate em, and the fact he brings in the green.
