QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) After reading the game thread and having discussions on Sox fans booing Paulie, I wouldn't get too cocky in my evaluation of another team's fans. Ha, game threads are always the same , unless the Sox are up 10-0 its always doom and gloom. Love the ones who hit and pitch well and hate those who ,God forbid, have a bad day. It's the end of the world as we know it but i feel fine.

Damaso Marte is now a Yankee.

Yankees stole those 2. Nady hitting what .330 and Marte has been lights out lately.

Yankees just stole Xavier Nady and ex-Sox Damaso Marte from the Pirates.

Yesssssssssssssss ! Woo hoo Winnaaaaaaaaa !

Booby lookin svelte unless its the black shirt.

Dye did a Sosa hop after he hit it .

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) Hell...I'm not either at this time of day. Maybe it's the 6 Miller Lites so far this afternoon....but... You didn't share with CQ did you ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) I am not a fan of the first pitch swinging. Unless it's Alexei , he's pretty good at it.l

Q looking like he's not picking up the ball very well.

Dang it AJ did you forget you're lefthanded ?

Thanx, I don't read often enough but I read the Cuba story , the ARod HR derby piece, and the one on the the Padres catcher. Also looked at the artwork of Sakoguchi and read the eephus pitch article.

Ray Ray Durham making his 1st start for his new team ( Brewers) against the Cards today. So far he's 0-4 with the Brewers behind in the 7th 3-2.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) 57-43 +2.5 games over MN That's "damn" minnesota with those "damn " tigers sneaking up after sweeping KC.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) They'll give it to Hamilton. I doubt it unless Texas somehow beats out the Angels which isn't very likely. If Q can lead the lead in HR and finish in the top 3 in RBI while the Sox come in 1st in the Central he's got as good a chance as anyone.

Blondes have more fun ?

Ozzie's 400th managing win. Congrats Oz and continued good hitting by Thome who was 2 for 2 with 2 walks.

Great game by Mark on 3 days rest. Soxtalk extents it's sympathy at your grandfathers passing and it's appreciation for a gutty performance tonight.

Turn Mahay's gaffe into a run Paulie.

Time to stop letting the Royals feel good about themselves and show them who's the better team .

55 W 40 L 1.5 games ahead of the damn twins.

Has Projekt Revolution been to Chicago yet ? I'm going mostly to see Linkin Park . How are they live ? On a side note I saw The Ramones at U. of I./Chicago with the Runaways opening for them. Runaways with both Joan Jett and Lita Ford. Had to be 1978.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 08:22 PM) The big thing about us south-side Chicagoans is that we CRAM a bunch of words into making one big one. Example: A normal person would ask, "Hey! Can I Go With You??" We say. (My personal favorite) ....."Hey, Ky-GoWitcha?" Normal: "Hey, did you eat yet?" Us: "Hey. didjeet-jet?" Scenario; As kids, you're playing catch with a league ball. Your griend wants to practice throwing a curve ball. You want to see how much it curves and if it will curve consistently every time. A normal person would ask. "Will you throw me two or three of those? We say: ...Wi-ya trow me two or tree-a-dows?" Great thread! Bringing back a lot of memories! Speaking of memories, when I was a little kid I often heard the phrase " Who died and left you boss ? " And I actually thought diednleft was a word that I didn't comprehend. Like maybe it was some German or Polish word. I'd often hear foreign words like babushka or Klotchski (sp) so when a word ran together like diednleft I just figured it was a foreign word. It wasn't until years later that I figured out it was 3 English words and I finally understood the whole phrase.

Since I've been in California I haven't heard the word Jagoff which was my older brother's favorite word or he'd shorten it to jag.

I'll add another one though its probably my family rather than a Chicago thing. Instead of saying flush as in " flush the toilet" we would say " pull da chain" or "who was da last one in da bathroom an didn't pull da chain " ?
