Maybe for all the people who couldn't recognize the Ozzie speak you can spell it Joo next time. Anyway , thank you KC for making even Willie Harris look like a superstar.

Good luck Frank . Make it back to get your ring.

I guess if its not in green some people don't get the sarcasm. Even if it wasnt in green and there wasnt a 2nd paragraph near the bottom of the post I still don't see how anyone could think Sonik was serious.

It's still a little too early to try that, but I like the idea. If the Sox still have a 10+ game lead on Minnesota after August 20th I think its worth a shot , especially if the offense is still impotent. I'd keep him in the 2 hole but let him swing more how he wants to instead of moving him around in the batting order. He's a smart hitter , I doubt he'd try to pull too many with Pods in scoring position.

If the Sox can start the 2nd half like they started the 1st half the they could very well win the division by 20 games.

O -we- O Frankio

Why Hibbard is being attacked I have no idea. Everyone's a critic. Put it in the sports bar , don't be so cryptic. Some of you oldtimers act like you're joined at the hip. Let a guy write the way he wants to write. If the mods have a problem with it something will happen. I'd really like some guidelines , so I know that next time I post a thread I won't offend anyones sensibilities. I know we all need to post the same way. That will really be exciting. But we just 3 Hr's in the 7th to take the lead on the Tigers so I'm out.

Best wishes to Shingo. Thanks for the memories.

Rain Rain go away, White Sox want a sweep today.

Let's face it people want to be entertained. Does going to a sucky play or concert make it memorable ? Same goes for baseball. A winning year makes it special. Those are the things you remember for the rest of your life. So put on your Sox cap and get out to the game , wether you're an old or new fan and root , root , root for the White Sox.

I just freaked when I hear Hawk and DJ say "Soxtalk YESSSS" Though i missed if they said anything before that. But Holy fried fish Batman. Tonight was perfect .

Just vote for Pods dont bother with a National League vote.

BIG HURT ,JD, COTTS, POLITTE, HERMY & 30 GAMES OVER. SWEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!

5 yrs $50 million sounds good . Yea I know Reinsdorf doesnt like doing more then 3 yrs on a pitcher. He should make an exception here . Jon has no history of arm problems and is entering prime pitching years. If the Sox are serious about all this "family stuff" (i.e. coaches who are all ex -sox) then prove it and give Garland and for that matter Buehrle 5 yr deals.

All i can say is kick some Oakland A !!!!!

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) After Buerhle's last victory, he said that "God is a Sox fan this year." Hmm... I have noticed that Rowand, A.J., and a couple other Sox make the Sign of the Cross before they bat. God power? Anyone know much about the faith of these players? Not nosey, curious...and wondering if we really do have some very special "karma" on our side this year. Welcome

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. Pretty calm cool and collected on both sides of the argument. I too get very tired of reading the constant griping but I think its keeps things interesting. I honestly don't think this place would be worth coming too if we just patted each other on our collective backs for great posts. Some of the biggest whiners have been singled out but I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that they would weep tears of joy , as would I, if the Sox went and won the whole damn enchilada. I think the mods have shown the correct amount of restraint. Sure it's frustrating reading crap but it has A+ entertainment value as long as the older wiser members speak up. One last note. Just because you've been around a long time does not mean you are incapable of being obnoxious. Some older members take advantage of the fact they can be as surly or b****y as they wanna be. Then we chalk it up to "thats just the way they are" or he/she has earned the right to be that way. Please keep banning to a minimum. Only one of 30 teams can win it all every year and until they win it, there will be worries and its the American way to discuss what troubles us without chopping off their heads.

I'm happy as hell that Shingo is Shingo again. We all but forgot about Mr. Zero. Keep throwing strikes. That was his only problem as I've said in the past. If Japanese batters didn't figure him out all those years I don't see why MLB hitters would. During the rain delay today I saw highlights from last year and Willie Harris scored a winning run and there was the usual mob scene around the hitter. I saw Willie on the edge of the group and Shingo comes up behind him and starts punching him in both ass cheeks. Left, right ,left ,right ,left, right. Willie turns around and puts up his dukes as Shingo runs away. Cracked me up. Did anyone else happen to see that or remember it ?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) road attendence is so dumb.... the only team it can really apply for our yankees, boston, and cubs since they actually draw crowds when they travel... other than that its a crap shoot because a course a team like toronto or baltimore are going to have a better road attendence since they face the yankees and red sox 9 times each while we face the royals/detroit/cleveland/minny all 9 times each and none of them are big attendence drawers. Very good point. Also don't forget teams will have promotions (giveaways) on days when teams that don't draw a lot of national interest come to town in order to boost attendance.

God bless Nancy Faust. I hope we win it all and she play's in the parade. That would be sweet.

Ozuna has looked awesome the last few days in the field, on the bases and at the dish. Can it be that because of Uribes injury we might actually be an even better team now? KC tried a hit and run tonight and Pablo went to cover 2nd was able to stop go back to his right and field the ball cleanly and threw out the runner. That right there is one helluva hard play to make.

Welcome aboard. Minnesota got booted ? I remember when I was new he offered to make me a sig. He seemed pretty cool.

I'm thinking when our biggest crowds of the week are on 1/2 price night, cost of tickets and parking is definitely a major concern. It was the same against the D backs last Monday.

QUOTE(Tmar28 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) haha maybe that stranger ended up being him... that would be quite surprising Nah it wasn't.I got conned plain and simple. Instead of giving the ticket to will call I yelled is there a Trevor here and this guy said " I'm Trevor " He looked like he was 30 so i shoulda have been a little more wary but I was just kind of relieved that I didn't have to wait around after fighting rush hour traffic and getting there a lil late. The dude disappeared after he got the ticket and Trev (hi8is)ended up buying one and we never did hook up. Boy did I feel stupid.
