QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Best of luck Shingo, I'll always cheer for the guy. ^That.^ Shingo was one of the highlights of a very disappointing 2004; I won't forget that.

QUOTE(Art Vandelay @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Long time lurker, first time poster. Hope you don't mind welcoming yet another newbie! Congrats to the Sox on the great sweep. Now I think I will check and see if there are still any tickets left for this Friday's game! Awesome name and avatar. Welcome to SoxTalk!

Maybe he hates other fans or something, but the few times I got to interact with the guy, he just made me like the guy more. 2 short stories: In elementary school we used to do this thing called "Young Authors." All the kids in the school wrote these books. In 2nd grade (1993-1994?), I wrote mine on Frank. After this project was over, I ended up sending him a letter with the book also enclosed. He sent my letter back, and hand wrote "Zachary, Great book! Keep up the good work!" with his autograph under that. A couple weeks later his secretary (this was when he had Big Hurt Enterprises in the Hancock Building), called and asked if I would like my book to keep with my letter. I said yes, and I got that back with the cover signed by Frank. How could I not become a life-long fan after that? -------------------------------------------------- A couple years later, we were in Chicago near the holidays. We were at the Watertower mall, and unknowningly that any of this was going on, Frank was doing a signing in some jewelry store. We went in, and he was signing for his foundation, but the prices were pretty steep for someone of my age at the time. He still chatted with me for a little bit, and I ended up getting my hat signed a picture with the Hurt for nothing in the end. --------------------------------------- Maybe Frank didn't publicate himself to the point to show a lot of the good he did, to where he could have "owned the city," but I will always have respect for the guy and never dislike him. Frank: :notworthy

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Iguchi was at 2B for most of the scoring. When we have more than one scrub start, we don't score much. 7 of the 9 guys in the lineup are regulars, I wouldn't constitute that as the "s*** line-up".

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) This is what happens with the s*** line-up. We don't score much. Haha, we scored 9 with this lineup last night. Nice case of overreacting there. :rolly

And he wanted to be on the task force with Frank.... :fyou Raffy.

Raffy..... :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Orioles board is saying it was reported on the radio that its gonna be Palmeiro If it is, buh bye HOF.

It's somewhat on the same topic, but people were ripping into Joe Crede a lot earlier in the season. He's had a pretty respectable season up to now. I've seen a couple places that Joe's one of the funniest guys in the clubhouse. I bet a lot of the Sox players consider that to be just as important to as what he does on the field.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) I think it needs to be pointed out that there's only like 2 or 3 people blaming KW for not making a trade. And they think they're speaking for all of us. So they're getting deservedly ripped.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) How often is it that a team starts against the same pitcher in a 4 game series in the 2nd and 4th game. That has to be in one of Jayson Starks Wild Pitches this week. Hopefully we pick up right where we left off on Saturday.

Kerry Wood started his rehab here in Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon to become a reliever. He faced 4 batters, striking out 2, and allowing a base-hit in 22 pitches of work.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) From Scott Reifert's blog: I can see giving Gooch a day off. But why two days in a row for Scotty? I'm not too worried about it. Just trying to give his legs a rest. He's been in a mini-SB slump of late, and we don't have many off-days in the near future. We need to keep his legs as fresh as possible, so he can do what he does best.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) This wasn't about payroll, it was about the ridiculous prices that people were asking for their players. Think of it this way, just because you have an extra $20 and are thirsty for a coke, doesn't mean you would be willing to spend the whole $20 on that one coke. That first half wasn't from Greg. That was from Soxfest, the disgruntled one. Greg just likes to C&P the quotes he wants in that style for some reason.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) So Blum and Adkins are on the 25-man roster and Harris and Gload go down. But who replaced Thomas on the roster? We were at 25 when Frank was healthy. Gload replaced him when he went on the DL, to keep us at 25. Now Blum and Adkins are replacing Gload and Willie's spots on the 25-man roster.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) At least someone else agrees with me on this one. The magic number is 45.

Umm...I this team.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) And that's why you're a fan not a general manager. Realism seems to separate the two. You need to post more in PHT. You're on your game today.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) Get over yourself, the world is not against you I am.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) Lets see if you feel the same if they lose in first round SS2K. And a move guarantees us to get into the 2nd round? GMAFB.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) the cubs need alot more than a leadoff man to make a run. More toothpicks.

QUOTE(jamslam @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Gload is 2 years away and Harris blows, sure let's put adkins in the pen Do you have a problem working a signature or something? You don't have to keep adding that picture to your posts.....A lot of people would be glad to help you out.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Yes and Bryan Dolgin is now Refering to Ryan Meaux as Ryan Moh! :puke Anyways thumbs up to KW for not making any moves just to make a move. He made a good pick up with Blum and i think we will like Blum a lot. I'd figure he'd be saying it right then. QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Dec 27, 2004 -> 10:50 PM) Meaux........how is that pronounced? QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 27, 2004 -> 10:51 PM) Mow.... Like mowing the lawn
