QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) in 2004 I thought it was last year?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) Leadership. That's what we need. Thome's first 2 home runs are both longer than any home run hit by a Sox Player in the Cell during all of 2005. Borchard topped 500ft.

For the Chicago locals, Dominicks and Jewel are good places to get them. I got them as soon as they were delivered (by luck). They were sitting there in the boxes in front of the mag rack and I had to tear off the plastic wrap. I got the one from the Trib, SI and one called Gold Collection. Just based on graphics and construction, the Trib one is the best by far.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) 81st and Kedzie Actually, I was asking Queen Prawn. The BAPA music thing is probably "Music Under the Stars" in August. The Memorial Day 10K is a fun event, too.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) That would be great if a potential victory parade were to run along Western Ave. I would only have to drive 15 minutes to get there. The overall atmosphere and public intoxication will exceed even the most rowdy St. Patricks Day parade. That's one reason I doubt it will be in Beverly. People here are already trying to crack down on the drunken revelry from the St. Pat's celebration. QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) That would be awesome if that happened if/when the Sox win - I could walk to it if it were there. Abouts where are you? I'm at 91st and Winchester. QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) someone I know on the Beverly Area Planning Commission has not heard of a western ave. victory parade... so this route seems unlikely, but I'm still working the rumor... I know I'm being nit-picky but it's "Beverly Area Planning Association". Mind if I ask who?

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 09:24 AM) I heard that the Chicago Police were already working out contingency plans for the victory parade (sorry to put the horse before the cart) to be held on Western Ave. along the exact same route as the southside irish parade 103rd to 111th... my source is a city worker with lots of cop buddies... it could be just a rumor I was just wondering if anyone else heard this??? If it happens it would be great but would the team shun the whole Chicago region like that... what about all the fans in addison sorry if this is perceived as starting a rumor... That would be so cool! I could walk there. But if they were to have it in a neighborhood and not downtown, I'd think they'd do it near the Cell, like in Bridgeport.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 02:19 AM) For your downloading pleasure: Konerkos_grand_slam.mp3 Podsedniks_walk-off_homer.mp3 I can't download those. And by download I mean save them to my hard drive. Should I be able to?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) sorry. I knew it wasn't .com and assumed the .org. Enjoy. I'm certain Steff will miss you, I'll try and agravate her while you are away. Heh! Hey, is it me or did I see her on TV during Game 1?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) southsiders.org ".net" actually. I ended up googling it after all.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) If you want the address, look it up. Gees. I'm lazy. And I'd have to wade thru alot of Google flotsam I'm guessing. Thanks Texsox!

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Yes, would you please. The last word type, I see.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Yes.. I am. Pretty effing sad that folks can't just enjoy the moment and have to tear others down every chance they get. True colors. Fun... more like sad. Oh, for cryin' out loud. Stop whining.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) southsiders Address?

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 11:18 AM) Whatever.. Pretty sad that this is even conversation at this time. Waa, waa, waa.. complain, complain, complain.. b****, b****, b****... I also noticed you were one of the ones b****ing about comments here. Join the fun!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) With three great Sox message boards there is one for everyone. What's the third?

QUOTE(joeynach @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) Yeah they certinatly did, I got banned a bunch of times over there for actually having an opinion that wasn't overly positive and happy. WSI has dug a whole with themselves by banning what people can and can't talk about. Its a freking internet message board, open to the public, and every citizen has freedom of speech and they want to tell their fans they can't talk about Mariotte, Attendance, negative threads, attendance, etc. Since when can one person or group tell the other what they can and cannot say, sounds a lot like communism to me. In August i got banned for this exact statement follwing El Duque blowing a late inning lead against Seattle in which we worked so hard to get, "C'mon El Duque why is that every time your offense goes out and gets you a lead against a tough pitcher you have to go right out there and give it back to them" I proceeded to get banned becuase apparently the all knowning all control mods of WSI know better than me and how dare I say something that I felt at the time that was not overly positive. What a joke they have become! I couldn't agree more, except that it is their site and if they want to run it like Nazis (my death knell comment) then they are free to do so. QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Doesn't hold a candle to comments here... That's because those comments don't get moved to the Roadhouse here. And posters who are willing to post that haven't been banned.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) He's just not as funny sober. Sad but true. I tend to agree.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 08:56 AM) I totally agree except I dont like Clemens either, I was one of many to boo his ass at the All-Star Game. I agree. Very likable bunch, those Astros. If not for the White Sox, I'd be rootin' for them against any other AL team this year.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) I don't know why, but that made me laugh. Me too.

Cancel the road trip.

QUOTE(SoxRock192 @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) It would be national It's not now?!

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) Woe unto him who lets this yet-unconfirmed news fill him with confidence. Even sin Colon, LAA is a deadly team. I hear ya, brutha!

QUOTE(Wedge @ Oct 6, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Victory Lap EDIT: I just realized that Brooks probably played with Paxson when they were both at ND. I like "Victory Lap"! I hope we can use it.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) Stats mean nothing in the post-season. It's a whole new 8-team league...first one to 11 wins...wins. That's why Billy Beane said "My s*** don't work in the playoffs." For stats to be useful (and as predictors they are still, at best, an educated guess) they have to be applied over a long period of time. But over a 5 or 7 game series, any level of performance is possible. Stats will just tell you what's likely. The win-probability graph is pretty useless, it's just a way to graphically look at momentum or critical points in a game. When they first came up with that that's all they claimed. As for the "shallow" post, I believe you can graph the probability of a win throughout a game, contrary to what you said. They simply use historically similar situations and player/team performance stats and make some kind of calculated 'guess'. Win probability is just fluff. The graph adds some splashy graphics to a summary article. I can't believe all the defensive posts on here. That's the funny part.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 5, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) that graph up there doesnt make sense. how can you graph the probablilty of a win? anything can happen in baseball. i'd like to see the graph from the steve bartman game. WHo could havbe ever predicted what happened after that foul ball? that graph is worthless. Don't be so shallow. It's called "probability" not "prediction". Given a game situation you can most definitely figure a "probable" outcome. And they call it probable because it's not certain.
