The Beast

I have no tolerance for managers anymore. I've thrown out 3, but I've thrown out 5 more moms than coaches. Crazy.

What the hell? Until the White Sox confirm this, I choose not to listen to the media.

I can finally go to the Heritage Fest and have bragging rights. Although usually when I sin, we lose a lot.

The above phrase is uttered by umpires to help save our calls even though we are in doubt sometimes. What I want to ask is, at a game, do you rag on the umpire knowing that you will not do anything? Trying to intimidate him doesn't do anything. I'm a thin skinned umpire, but I am as hot as the last umpire out there when it comes to temper. So when I am approached, I say its in my judgement, and if something else is uttered I handle it in a kind manner unless foul language is used or violence. Then I need to initiate in retaliation. But I'm curious, do you guys (as parents and as players or fans) rag on the umpire, even though you ignorantly don't know that its in the umpire judgement. My last three arguments. Me: Time! Sir, is your name Ross Meister or Jim M? Man: No. Me: Then shut up and watch the game. Man: I want an appeal! (Violent and had been causing trouble all game) Me: Heres your appeal...(pointed to his car) Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the kid is squaring to bunt, and doesn't pull the bat back, its a strike! I just want to hear feed back of what you think of local umpires is all.

He had some stints with some minor league clubs, and was most recently with the Chicago Cubs.

McNeil, Jurko, and Harry, weekdays at 3 on Chicagos ESPN Radio 1000. I met Dan Mcneil on friday.

What about the Drew? The Drew is a P.I.M.P.

Props to Boyer in exposing weaknesses.

I think it is completely acceptable. I changed my name 3 times, from wsc425 (worst thing I posted under ever) to beastlyordonez30 (okay) and beastly (dominant)

They'll be handing out neat Trucker Hats tomarrow.

Good. The bastard didn't sign for me when he still had his bentley. Now he's going to be driving a 1993 Honda acura.

Yeah, but still, what about the other runs given up? We could have EASILY overcame that many runs. (Konerko's blast.)

Garland wasn't the worst of our problems. It was Gload in RF.

Anderson+Rauch for Ortiz or Moyer I'll do. I want to keep Sweeney.

And by all means on those pop ups its the Outfielders catch. The outfielder is supposed to call off the infielder. I would have loved to see Reed start in right. We could have won if that was the case. And it would have made sense as well.

Don't read reports. Just wait til he's in the lineup again. I don't trust anyone these days except Gammons. Rogers of the Tribune broke my heart with his pathetic articles, especially how realistically unfair he was with his all city team. You can't have Sosa start over Magglio in RF, they have both been out due to their injuries. Rotoworld is another thing. They come out with good timely information, but who knows if the deals said on there are actually right. What was their coverage for the Beltran deal?

Ordonez isn't going anywhere. In spite of what is said, I believe all these things and offers we hear are bulls***. We'll sign him. Konerko shouldn't be traded. He could be, because he is on a hot streak right now. Valentin couldn't be traded for a bucket of bad water drank by camels.

Sighs... I was at the game yesterday and it was not pretty. It seemed quickman and I were the pessimists of our group. To borrow a quote. "Ross Gload is a piece of s***!" I didn't like the way that happened...I knew he was dropping the ball because his footing was always incorrect. He is not an OF. The guy is a 1b at best. Quickman brought up a good point, it was Ozzies mistake to put him out there, put Perez in there instead. This is the crosstown classic, not Jamie Burke in right against the Indians.

:headshake Young people, please, in the house... :puke

I thought that was bumping the thread up. Um, are u going whitesoxin'

Do chicks really dig the longball?

Someone bring a goat to the game, get kicked out and say I curse the Cubs whenever they face the White Sox!

Anyone want to meet up? I'd like to meet some fellow sox fans who know what they are talking about rather than some punk kids in front of me not knowing anything. Well if I don't see you guys, I'll have quickman and JimH (most likely) and my dad to talk about White Sox baseball with.

I don't feel so bad now. We now have so many options with the possibilty of Maggs leaving. Cattalanotto, Berkman, Beltran, Jones...
