QUOTE(Irishsox1 @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) For the last seven years the Chicago media chose to focus almost all of it's energy on Sosa, with all of his hopping, kissing to the camara, corked bats, steroid abuse, homeruns, and overall selfish play. Yet when a Chicago player wins the world championship, gives the game ball to the franchise, is a quality teammate and puts up solid numbers, it takes an out of town writer to give Konerko his proper credit. The hypocrisy of the Chicago media knows no boundrys. The other aspect is how people and the media say stuff like "There aren't old school players anymore, with the ESPN highlights, big money contracts, flashy jewlery, players of today are too selfish and only interested in seeing themselves on t.v." Well all I can say is here the guy...Paul Konerko! He's an old school player that plays the game the right way, and wins championships the right way. This guy makes T.O., Manny Ramirez, Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Shockey, Michael Irvin, Ty Law, Allen Iverson and Steroid Sosa look like the jerks they really are. come on now, why would you call T.O. a jerk!

i think there is a mistake in that article, the last out in the 14 inning game was finished with a popout to uribe...right?

i didn't like that article...especially cleveland going after manny.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) I really don't care what any cub fans have to say about us. There is one thing I have to say about some sox fans though, they care too much about what the cub fans think. SOME do not all. When we were in the postseason I was not thinking "ohh what do cub fans think about this???" I don't give a s*** what they think but there are some sox fans who go too far about the whole cubs suck deal. I don't know maybe it's just me but I only talk about the cubs if I have a cub fan talking s*** about the sox. well, when we won the world series, i called my cub fan brother and laughed...sorry, but my family is as big a deal to me as the white sox.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) Sounds awesome, I'm jealous. I hear a lot of comparisons to Springsteen, which in my opinion are neither accurate or a compliment. I read someone say his vocals are 'like being cornered at a party by a drunk, only this drunk is friendly and smart'. That's probably more like it. i had to submit to that comparison, i never listened to born to run that much, and thats where they say it came from...hell i said it was like mark e. smith at first due to him speaking and not singing...but whatever, they are a really fun band, very crazy on stage, actually, haha, i said he sounds like gene wilder singing that song on the boat in willy wonka and the chocolate factory...when he starts screaming...i love it... but the constantines were sick live too, i should mention, i left the show more impressed by them than anyone. Especially with tournament of hearts material, which i didn't really listen to that much. I was more in love with shine a light and s/t

i found an awesome mom and pop record store that i have huge loyalties to. I miss...good cartoons. Mid nineties nickelodean was the tits.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 6, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) I really, really want to see The Hold Steady, how were they? it was awesome because i got to see the hold steady in their true setting, a damn grizzly small as hell bar, intonation was not a good place for them to play. Their awesome riffs just cut at you like helicoptor blades, and that ridiculous bruce springstein rambling for every song does not get old. It was awesome really. yes, i like crooked rain, crooked rain better as an album, but i don't think i'd buy it remastered because i think it was well enough on its own. 5-4=Unity is a favorite of mine as well as cut your hair, so many actually, yet slanted and enchanted has more sentimental songs to me, summer babe and zurich is stained being the highlights. A great album and i'd recommend the Luxe and Reduxe set...48 songs for 15 bucks was well worth it. Congrats matador. As for the rest of pavement albums i love terror twilight and wowee zowee, zowee probably the most inconsistent but has the highest highs, see rattled by the rush, and brighten the corners by default is my least favorite, but still gets plenty of listening time. Pavement is an alltime favorite band of mine. Never dissapointing in releases, cept for SM's self titled and that doesn't count.

verizon suck.s.s....

i also just bought pavement - slanted and enchanted luxe and reduxe, i was really excited to hear this album remastered and finally got around to purchasing it...i love this album...and its a very well album remastered, it finally gets loud... It really is a brilliant album that sparked a million bands...i feel bad it got a hex enduction hour rip off because the similarities do not merit the label.

i saw the hold steady and the constantines, the constantines were absolutely stunning live and a band i will look to see again

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 05:06 AM) Tangled up in Blue. MacArthur Park. Fiona Apple. Tori Amos. The Beatles. Shakira (spanish language only) And, on *very bad days* Old Liz Phair and Ani DiFranco beautiful list

First - this is for kid gleason - I also try to support the indie labels but i have to be careful because i realize now how many of those indie labels are branches of huge record labels. But record companies like Asthmatic Kitty, Saddle Creek, and Arts and Crafts are all labels i try to support around every corner...but labels like matador and such, i won't look into every artist when i know who they are apart of... Alright, first off, I love buying cds, i love the art, i love having the cd in my hand, nothing is like going to the store and buying that album, the experience is part of the listen. The last CD i bought was Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - B.R.M.C. and that cd really holds a special place in my heart on my ipod. I will be going to buy Radiohead's LP7 when it is released in 2006. BUT, i am a very poor college student and i cannot afford 15 bucks for a cd! That is absolutely ridiculous. I go to shows and buy the same ones for 7 or 10 that i can buy at a store for 15! Where does that extra price come from? Also, like everyone has said, you want to support your artist? Merch and Live shows. They make the most direct money out of both of those. And, many of the albums i download are hard to find in the record stores around me, they aren't widely distributed and the artist wants people to hear it. Case in Point, The Go! Team found a huge following in America when they came here (well, HE, but i guess with his hired cohorts they) despite not having released their album in America and the imports being a huge like 25-30 dollars, people downloaded it, and when he came here he was playing sold out shows... Whats sad is awful bands are getting coddled by the industry while a man like leonard cohen can't even tour due to lack of money... I will eventually buy most of the cds i have, i want a back catalogue, when i have the MONEY, but for now i will download and discover artists that the record labels put on the back shelf because they think their sound isn't broad enough. I hate. record. labels.

i really respect those astrologers, they accelerated science a lot while having to stand their ground against the church...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) If we are all advocating that we can just plug someone in 1B to replace PK. Then we have to make up production elsewhere. Who do we have that is under performing offensively. A-row for one then needs to be gone. i agree, i'm not afraid to make changes. (as long as they work out, if not i'll claim why the hell did KW get rid of a future gold glover for dis)

i'm confident this production will be replaced, if not immediately at least by the 2006 offseason...I don't feel we need to repeat as get back to the playoffs, but i do feel we need to get ready for a nother run within 3 years...because after that i feel the window could be closed.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) Wasn't that Pre-Ozzie? and pre - world series (thats awesome to say btw)

i don't think we need to worry about giles age, we really need just a proper fill in for a couple of years before we establish that position again. he is much more than adequate. I was really worried about losing players on this team, but now, i look at how diff. the patriots are from 01 and realize you just have to keep moving...no reason to stay in the past in this era.

this is awesome ...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) I think the traffic accidents related to marijuana use are probably drastically smaller than traffic accidents related to alcohol use. Thats just my opinion though. At some point the government will realize the potential cash cow that marijuana is and they will totally maximize it at our expense. Its only a matter of time. On a related note, the "Say no to drugs" commercials aimed at pot smokers are getting funnier and funnier. Apparently now if you are smoking pot you will forget your sister is riding a bike in your driveway and run her over, or you will take your sister to a Carnival and forget her there, or you will hang out with your friends all day long (smoking pot) and forget your sister is having a birthday. So I have deduced that smoking pot is bad if you have a sister. Thankfully, I have a brother. haha, i know...whenever you are pushing far off scenarios as facts that WILL happen you know you are losing a battle.

Suffragette City - Bowie Go Home, Get Down - Death From Above 1979 My Iron Lung - Radiohead Les Os - The Unicorns Tiny Cities... - Modest mouse For Real - Okkervil River Rattled by the Rush - Pavement

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) That was a CD though IIRC? Right? Legal differences between audio and video.. couldn't they just not use those songs? i mean, i really could care less, it adds to it yes, but i could easily just as soon watch it with a generic soundtrack behind it that the sox could easily compose themselves.

you wouldn't have thought randy johnson was a white sox fan when he was declining trades left and right

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Atleast it appears the 1st place Chicago Bears will manage to hold my attention for a few more weeks. rock and roll!!1
