Once you give it all you got, you gotta give more. The difference between try and triumph is a little UMPH ! Success only comes before work in the dictionary. Hustle steals away the good things from those who wait.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) I can't believe people are picking Crede. His defense at third is mildy better but his bat isn't. I'll take the lockerrom leader over an underachiever. I'm really stunned. THe way people want to bury past Sox players on this site is a big turnoff to coming here I picked Crede but not because I dislike the job Jose did over the years for the Sox. Jose was a team leader and a fan favorite, but in order to upgrade and contend Jose was expendable. He is older and a far worse (not mildly) fielder and although a good source of leadership and some clutch rbi's was far too useless in other areas. Crede's critics certainly are vocal but there is a core of fans who root for him because we've all struggled in life and know we would want our friends and family to be at our sides to share the good times as well as the bad. If Joe never becomes what we all expect I'll have enjoyed as stay here as much as I did Jose's. I find it much more discomforting seeing current Sox bashed. We all whine about the lack of respect from the local and national media. I see an awful lot of disrespect among those of us who claim to love the Sox.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) Well I'm not taking that -- now YOU suck. How d'ya like them apples? I love apples

I read more negative stuff in the threads about our players than i would ever read in the Cubune. Everyone's a critic. Crede sucks, Garland sucks, Willie sucks, Timo sucks, this guy sounded bad in an interview. Paulie's a jerk Shingo sucks. You're all like a bunch of whiny lil b****es. Nothing's ever good enough for ya. I'm ecstatic . The Sox are winning and pitching great. The glass is half full not half empty. Try to remember that next time.

Just an ignorant guess on my part , but I doubt they want any proof ,as long as you have the voucher. I'm sure many teachers give these things out to students as rewards or pass them along to friends. C'mon already thats the Chiacago way to do things even if they ask for proof , say you didnt know you needed it since it doesnt say on the voucher.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) Those PETA Southsiders will be "all up in your grill" for that one, homes. No way ! My dog doesnt like the northsiders either.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 12, 2005 -> 04:53 AM) See bold type above......"never crosses my fingertips" indeed........ and I agree...... to you, C Lee! Best of luck in Brewtown!!!! I had my dog type that

Since Carlos Lee was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers I have seen myriad opinions. Some praising some damning. After watching Carlos against the Cubs it made me realize he was a true White Sox. A player the city and more so Sox fans, should cherish the memory of. Yes , I know I ended the sentence in a preposition. My apologies to all those nuns and priests who tried to teach me better. His rise from "oh Lord they hit it Lee" to "damn , Carlos threw another guy out" is truly a Carl Sandburg, City of the Big Shoulders, blue collar , My Kind of Town inspirational story we can all appreciate and admire. Now if i was a sportwriter I could tell many tales of his diamond exploits against our hated crosstown rivals, whose name never crosses my lips nor my fingertips for that matter. It is for that reason alone that we , Sox fans , as a whole, should raise a glass in salute to our dearly departed "El Caballo." I respectually ask that if you have anything negative to say about C. Lee please refrain. This thread is a celebration of his time with us and a sincere wish for continued sucess with his new team. One thing I rarely saw when discussing the trade was that Sox management traded him to a team in a division so he could continue to :fthecubs . Here's to you Carlos , Chicago style

Fav. ex-Sox Carlos Lee. Retired: Robin Ventura, Carlton Fisk, Dick Allen, Greg Luzinski, Tom Seaver, Steve Carlton, Ken Berry, Joel Horlen.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Jason, I think the base only forum is great idea, even if Texsox suggested it. Sometimes the ball just jumps away from the "base" and there isnt a damn thing you can do to prevent it.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:52 PM) Your Chicago White Sox are atop the division alone at 3-1 Now let's hope they maintain this top spot throughout the year and never look bad Did u possibly mean to say and never look back ??? Dang me Tex u beat me to it.

I say he will get one when some 1st baseman is playing way off the bag.Take what they give you . The Rock (Tim Raines not the wrestler/movie star) should've preached that to all of them.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) I didnt see Sox highlights on the BBTN on the trifecter Nothing on the 20 minute version of BBTN (3 shows in one hr. hence the trifecta name) They were too busy showing Roger Clemns, Dontrell Willis, Kerry Wood and Marquis Grissom walk off HR. I was pissed but there were some good stories in the majors yesterday, though I dont count another Cubs loss as one of them. I guess once you K 20 in a game the media can't keep their beady lil eyes off of you. And the El Duque, Twins/White Sox matchup seemed to be a good story. But since ESPN is showing the Sunday game between the Sox/Twins you would think they'd have half a brain and do some build-up to it.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) Four Four Four Four runs in four games. Yep ONLY four runs given up by the 1-4 SPs of our Chicago White Sox. Now, if we can just keep the bullpen out of trouble. As Moses Malone once said about what he expected his team to do in the playoffs ," Fo, fo ,fo." Eubonics lesson for the day is concluded

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Hawkins 02-05 Pitches 1-15 626AB .252A .278O .363S .641OPS Not closer material. C Lee had an RBI DB, H, 1K, 1W in 7PA. That RBI DB was Milw's first. C Lee 2005 3G .357A .400O .786S 1.186OPS Not too shabby. Juggy heres a stat for you from the new rules regarding sigs. Up to 10 lines of text is allowed if no image is present in the signature. By my count u have 9 lines of normal size and one line of larger size font (which equals 2 lines) therefore you have 11 lines of sig. Maybe the mods will allow it.

QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) Let's just hope Duque doesn't give up a grand slam to Jose Valentin when he comes to town this June... Don't you mean Jose Valentine ?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) Jose Valentine? He gawn. Once gawn who can remember how to spell their names. I guarantee some sports writer and/or commentator somewhere said "It's Valentin(e)'s Day for the Dodgers.

Jose Valentine just hit a pinch hit 2 run homer in the 9th to give the Dodgers an 8-7 lead against the D'backs.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) Why did KW sign Hermanson? Jermaine Dye will be injured too much and won't match Maggs' production in 2005. Podsednik won't steal any bases cuz he can't get on base. Carla Everett is worthless. El Duque is too old and can't go more than 5 innings All this s*** was heard or read over the offseason, and we saw the complete opposite of it tonight. El Duque's will surprise everyone with just how good he is. Thats from a march 28th post of mine on the thread what has spring training showed you.

GRRR i hate games on WCIU . No freakin twins tv for this game on DirectTV . I can watch 6 freaking games on now and none of them are the White Sox. Missed all 3 game against the indians cause of day games and work and now this . I'm jonesing to see a reg season game.

Thanks to Tmar28 for showing up

I know its a new feature and all but is anyone using the chat room? I come home from work and write a few posts and sit in chat waiting to see if anyone will show up and no one does. I know there's a 2 hr. time difference between Cali and Ill. maybe you're all in bed . If you show up and do a sound effect I should hear it and reply.

Oh boy i love stupid stuff.

Hey chill its spring training for posters too. Always wanted to use this, seemed like a good spot
