QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) LSU is talking about having no home games until possibly November. Espn was stating that they might play at LSU or in Baton Rouge. I guess I heard wrong though.

Wow, and why can't they win at home? Maybe we should play in a completely empty park for the playoffs.

Very empty. I guess people have caught on that they're not winning. And for the Sox, if they're not winning, they're not going to draw.

It's also on RealGM.

Well New Orleans will probably play at LSU for home games from what I've read and heard. As far as the Hornets, I think I was hearing St. Louis or KC.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) I don't get the whole bandwagon thing. He isn't a fan, he's a columnist. Are y'all saying he should always rah rah the team, through thick and thin? Or should he always find fault? If he reports accurately, there will be positive and negative articles. And look at the team since the can't choke was written. Thomas out for the season, Crede injured, Hermanson nursing a sore back, Pods on the DH. Only an idiot would say that none of that would change an opinion. I am always amazed that y'all think columnists should slurp the hometown BS. Mariotti has been a lot more generous than most of the out of town press. Y'all would be fitted for strait jackets if you had to read what the rest of the world thinks of the teams chances. Great post.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) I don't buy that. If he wanted to make a move bad enough, he could have made a move. Lawton went for nothing...why did he not try and get Lawton either time? Very true.

-Hawk should quit; he's becoming senile and doesn't know a damn thing about what he's talking about. Keep wondering where Griffey would play old man, just do that at your house. -Ozzie really can't manage a game. As I said before, he would make a great bench coach since he's a great motivator and knows how to get the best out of his players. He, however, can't manage pitching for a lick and some of the lineups he throws out there makes me feel like he's talking managing lessons from Hawk. He also needs to stop with his infatuation of Timo. He's overplaying him. -Hitting alone may get you nowhere, but it sure as hell helps to win. We need lots of it back. KW better make some moves for some offensive firepower. I'm not talking about just one bat either. -Brewers have a nice future if they keep everything together. -Billy Beane, sadly, is a true genius. -This team is not ready to win a championship.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) this is all you need to know in 2002 BP had an annual gross profit of $21 billion. This grew to $28 billion in 2003 and was $35 billion in 2004. in 2002 Exxon Mobil had an annual gross profit of $112 billion. This grew to $116 billiion in 2003 and $134 billion in 2004. For those who dont know, gross profit is very simply revenues minus product cost. The gas companies are clearly raising prices at a rate far exceeding increased costs. Looks like I should be investing in some gas. Wow, s*** is just getting outrageous. Though in Europe, isn't it around 5 bucks a gallon?

Jason Whitlock(I think) on PTI said that he thinks Mariotti is overreacting. I think Jay is right to an extent, but Jason needs to watch more Chicago baseball.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Just read it on ESPN's Transactions page. Now that's what I call screwing the pooch. You know the GMs were sitting around waiting to cut him AFTER September 1st to really kick him out the door. Now no contending team can have him on their post-season roster (not that they would anyway). Padres still probably would've picked him up.

Wasn't Kenny saying that once they got Frank back(early in the season) that, that would be the big boost to the lineup needed??

Bruce Levine on the Score is reporting that Ken Griffey Jr...aww hell, way too easy.

QUOTE(Chifananthony @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 08:49 PM) I think everyone here would be back on the bandwagon. Why is it so terrible to criticize your teem when they have been underperforming, and to point out flaws in the team's game. It seems that once u do that u r no longer a fan. Thats how they treat people at WSI. Its hypocritical to attack flub fans when they think there team is going to the playoffs when they are 8 games out, but yet when a sox fan takes a realistic look at their playoff chances they are not true fans. It doesnt make sense. I was about to post something to that extent. This place has slowly become WSI. I remember when I first joined, you were able to criticize or critique the team and not catch any s*** for it. It would actually start up a good convo. Now if you critique the team, you get blasted as if you're visiting WSI.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) I took it down because it's winning streak came to an end. Seems like a good enough reason. I brought back the Crede sig. Hopefully that helps too.

After all the criticsm or critiquing is a better word, I think he did a nice job for his first ever wallpaper.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) I would love it if you linked me to a post of yours regarding last night's W. Whoa whoa whoa, the question asked was when was the last day I posted on the day of a White Sox winner. I said last time they won(which was yesterday). I never said my posts were about the win.

I dont know if this is right, but I remember him saying he wasn't going to sign anyone anymore(before the season started) so in midseason, if the White Sox needed a piece or two, they would have the financial flexibility to not worry about it. This team has needed a piece or two on the offensive end. Blum was not the answer.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) What is, never, Alex. What is, the last time they won, WHarris1. Sorry, but train gets the correct answer and gets to pick the next topic.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) I worked for a little fast-food restaurant near my block earlier this year and it was fun. I worked with all of my friends. Time of my life. I'll work at Burger King, right next to 2 of my friends who work at KFc and across from my fest friend who works at McDonalds. We meet up after work and chill. Good times... chill at the White Castle in which none of you guys could get discounts probably.

You shouldn't get one. You should have to earn a used car.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Check the run differential in the injun games with the sox. If you think by our record we beat them down. I suggest you look again. The only convincing wins happend in that last 4 game sweep. We havent hit besides 2 games yesterday in a month. The indians have a great bullpen and good pitching. But yeah I can see how we are just going to beat the crap out of them.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Can't hold it in anymore. All this Price talk is making me feel all warm inside. The Bills traded him...he did not sign with Atlanta. Buffalo got a 1st round pick...that being Willis McGahee. Sure 2003 blew ass...the team was mediocre, and I was left wondering if I liked the pick or not. In hindsight...yeah, it was decent. Okay, essentially a sign and trade, but did Price get to pick his team and get a new contract? If you want to get all technical, well that's what happened. Bears need one of these guys. And isn't Ogunleye a Rosenhaus client?

So according to what Bruce Levine said, I could start ordering my Ken Griffey Jr. jersey?

But guys, this team has chemistry!!!
