QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 09:38 AM) ..... I of course was trying to get the Sox series tickets and figured if I picked off some of my competition I could have a better chance. So I disabled their access. I'm glad to see sumone picked up the ball and ran with it. It's easy to say "give me a f***in break" or "relax" when if you were monitored as your employees are would you be able to "relax" ? What you did was for you're own personal gain. It had nothing to do with company policy or the laws regarding the invasion of privacy.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) Wow, you need to relax. I am totally relaxed. Was I serious or was I playing devils advocate ? Guess I'm the only one who knows for sure. Just food for thought.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Feb 24, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) If this amusing act is seen as an abuse of power, I highly condone it! I'm sure it was very amusing to those who couldn't use company time to purchase tickets but one individual could. Hypocrisy and and corruption always starts out small. The more you can get away with the more your attempts grow on a grander scale. Laugh if you want it just shows how morally bankrupt we've become. When we curse the generations to come look inwards because we are the ones who taught them.

Thanks for posting that. Always good to know that a person can overcome his background to achieve things that at one point seemed unreachable. He is the White Sox version of Don Quixote. His daughter's name is Cuma ???

So let me get this straight you police your company's internet access but around World Series time you policed everyone but yourself. So even though company time is to be used for company business that policy is enforced by you for everyone but you. Seems to me that this is akin to a police officer busting a dude for selling drugs then turning around and selling them himself. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and yet many here applaud you. It's no wonder we distrust those in power because once we find ourselves in a position of power we often times abuse it also. When the shoe is on the other foot and we have something to gain personally all morals and ethics we claim to have are betrayed.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2005 -> 05:04 PM) f***ing DirecTV even has the goddamned replays blacked out! f*** YOU DIRECTV!!! It's not a live game, you're not carrying it on any of your "MLB" channels either (I subscribe to those too) but you're still f***ing blacking the game out! The YES network replayed a Yankees/Braves world series game from 96 yesterday, why the f*** didn't you black that out. You can tell I'm mad. No s*** ! I'm in the same boat as u and I was workin when this game was on so I really wanted to see it. And since I was at the pennant clincher in Anaheim I wanted to record it on my dvd recorder too. I'm so super pissed.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) The Red Sox are now paying good money for Mike Lowell to play 3B and Mark Loretta to play 2B. They also still have Edgar Renteria at SS and Alex Cora as a utility infielder. I think they just want the draft pick for losing Graffanino. Say bye bye to Renteria.

QUOTE(suffering-nomore-sox fan @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) Since 2002, I have been known as "Suffering Sox Fan". Now my suffering is gone with the World Series Championship! Isn't it great? It's awesome ! Your new name can apply to every single Sox fan but more so to the ancient ones.

QUOTE(Drew @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I don't usually wear a lot of team stuff, but since I am planning trips to spring training, Anaheim, possibly Seattle, Cooperstown, or Fenway this coming season, I'd like to have something to wear. That's quite a haul from Burbank to Anaheim. Hey Drew can I add you to my sig ?

Thanks guys those were fun !

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) No they are the actual broadcasts, but they are put together pretty nice, with chapters built in per inning, the post game shows, parade, etc, with no commercials. Just search for "white sox dvd" on eBay. You will have to dig around a little because the standard dvd is all of the place. Sounds like the DVD's I made for the World Series. Its hard to edit commercials out sometimes u forget to take the DVD recorder off pause and miss a pitch or 2 especially when Fox had it timed out so a commercial would last right before the pitch to start the inning.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Frank can't be released. He's a free agent already. I'm just reporting what ESPN news said a few minutes ago as one of its top stories ,wether it makes sense or not

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Isn't it ironic - we are spending the offseason speculating on whether Big Frank will be reporting to spring training... SFF I don't think we're specualting any more ESPN is reporting that Frank will be released.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) All these luxury seats we're selling out certainly doesn't hurt our chances of getting there iether. I wonder just how many of those seats were bought by brokers or investors looking to capitalize on another World Series or or increased interest in the Sox. My bet is over 50%.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) I felt and wrote after the Thome signing that in a typical Sox move they were going to sign 35-year old + injury @ 7.2 mil *instead of* 29-year old + All-Star + Division MVP @ $12-$15 mil. I thought the chances were slimer than none that Konerko would be a Sox player in 2006. I am happy to admit I was verrrrrrry wrong. Takes a big man to admit when he's wrong. We need more like you here.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) I think it would be best to ignore Pierre's 2005 Marlins numbers. One thing we've learned since the Cell became one of the best hitter's parks in the majors is that nearly everybody that comes here hits better. There were a lot of ??? about Pods coming off a lack luster 2004 & he experienced borderline all-star caliber numbers. So it's best for established guys to look at their career numbers when they come to the White Sox. Juan Pierre: (v L: 808AB, 307A, 352O, 347S; v R:2603, 304A, 355O, 384S) You have to believe Ozzie had him in mind when he made that annoucement. He said he wants to both take the pressure off Pods (another SB threat) & give Iguchi more opportunities to hit (#6). With the Marlins in firesale mode this seems like a sure bet. Don't see the Pierre thing happening either. Pods and Pierre sounds good ( love the alliteration) but hate the D and lack of arm strength. Gotta keep the pitchers happy and keep the defensivemindedness intact.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) I just had a vision .. a dream really. Is our new CFer going to be Ichiro? Think about. The White Sox have never been at a stronger position to trade then now. Ichiro has already expressed misgivings about Seattle. He is not bigger than the Seattle M's. Figuratively speaking the park is bigger than Ichiro. I'm just throwing that out there because I really think the sky is the limit right now for filling that hole. The gate revenue has picked up, the luxury boxes are sold out, the new Comcast deal is expected to deliver their best broadcast revenue to date, & inventory can't keep up with demand on merchandise. All of it speaks volumes of a mid-revenue team in big-revenue market about to make that leap forward. Isn't Seattles ownership Japanese? No way in hell do they deal Ichiro. But its a good dream.

Frank is the man. I'm hoping Kenny will keep him around too for insurance if Thome gets reinjured. I know it's totally illogical but I cant see him retiring no matter what all the insiders say. If he goes elsewhere then so be it. Last I heard his ankle was progressing and if he can play with relatively little pain I think he'll play again somewhere.

Just got an email from the Sox so its really officially official.Woo hoooooooooooo . Add Bmac and let the kids Anderson, Owens and Young fight it out for centerfield. Who's got a big red cherry nose ? Kenny's got a big red cherry nose, Who laughs this way Ho Ho Ho ? Kenny laughs this way Ho Ho Ho. Cap on head , suit thats red, special night, beard thats white , Ho Ho Ho, cherry nose. Must be Kenny , must be Kenny, must be Kenny , Kenny Claus. Ok im Delirious.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) But it is. Sports can be a huge part of a person's life, and they bleed their favorite team's colors their entire lives. It also seems, atleast to me, that baseball specifically has this as well. Maybe that's because baseball is this way to me, maybe it just truly is this way, and maybe it is every sport in general...I'm not sure. The fact that he witnessed something huge, something monumental in White Sox history, something that hasn't happened since 1917 can help put closure to one's life. If he was a true, diehard Sox fan, then he witnessed something incredible, and it was a hell of an end. Sorry for your loss...many condolences go out. I wish you the best through these times, and it will get easier to cope with the loss as time goes on. Be happy and thankful he did witness a world championship before he passed, and that he was a happy man in resting for the final time. U said diehard fan........ sorry i know no pun was intended. Condolences ,prayers and best wishes.

Old, slow, defensive liability, on the decline as a hitter. Do any of these things sound like playing baseball the White Sox way ????

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) Are you making a sales pitch? No not really . I don't have a DVD burner so I can't burn them.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Why move a GG SS just to get a fast guy on the field? It makes no sense, Uribe has proven that he is an elite fielder at that position, not many can touch him. Except Furcal. And believe it or not he's got an even better arm.

I love Joe but buy low, sell high and his value may never be higher then it is now. But that being said keep him unless we're getting Furcal .

I recorded all world series games on DVd with post game from Comcast and for the final game post game included post game from Fox, Comcast, ESPN , ESPN news and the parade. Most all commercials are edited though becuase of that I missed an at bat here and there.
