this is an amazing quote

i'll never forget this season (obviously, i don't forget any) but it was quite a trip from the pits feeling when all our free agent options left, to then around feb and march when we all started thinking...hey we really could do this (some of us felt if we all had career years...little did we know virtually nobody had career years and look where we are!) to that amazing first month! My god we couldn't lose a series!! To then frank getting back and just poundin the f***in ball over and over, and the 7 games i went to in june, this all coincided with me graduating high school and my first year of college, the pods voting!, the good start to august, then somebody started the thread (i remember when i was soo scared of august) and then we lost 7 straight...and then september, starting off brilliantly and then we all got scared as s***. I could barely watch from all the way back home...and the party i had when we won the division...It was awesome, truly awesome...and it was great to be able to read all the posters on this site and nfl-fans where theres a collection of sox fans.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 1, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) this is the same guy who called the sox a fluke all season until we actually clinched yesterday. Kurkjan is such an idiot. he also thinks that steroids are a part of the game and that palmiero should be in the hall of fame. i would equate him to mariotti, but he pussyfoots around way more than mariotti. yeah, its great that hes praising us now, but hes been a naysayer all year, picking the god damn twinkies and indians over us. I remember when ozzie slammed mags in the profane statement (which maggs completely deserved). kurkjan has sure changed his tune about that since then. he flip flops more than john kerry. hes never even played the game. why is he an analyst for espn? he crunches numbers all day and doesnt know anything about baseball. to be fair, if you read that article he's not really praising the sox, just the manager...he avoided having to call us a good team, he thinks we'll lose in the first round

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) Link 4 found dead in Aurora Police seek suspect who took flight from Midway By Angela Rozas and James Kimberly, Tribune staff reporters. Tribune staff reporters Art Barnum, Crystal Yednak, Virginia Groark, David Heinzmann, Brett McNeil, Joseph Sjostrom and correspondent Rita Published September 30, 2005 Four adults were found dead Thursday in the Aurora home of a Plainfield computer exporter after a relative became concerned at not reaching the residents at their home and called police, authorities said. Police had not identified the bodies as of late Thursday. Jimmy Tsao, 34, and his wife, Kate, 31, owned the home in the upscale subdivision surrounding the White Eagle Golf Club. A law enforcement source confirmed that police were seeking a suspect who left Midway Airport on a domestic flight. Lt. Rusty Sullivan said police have spoken to relatives of the Tsaos but not the homeowners themselves. Late Thursday, Sullivan said, "based on our ongoing investigation, this has now changed from a death investigation to a murder investigation," and that police want to talk "to other parties outside of Illinois." There were no signs of forced entry to the two-story, red brick home at Jeremy Ranch Court and Monarch Circle, and it did not appear that anything had been stolen, Sullivan said. "We're not saying it [a burglary] didn't occur, but it wasn't readily apparent," Sullivan said. One or more of the people suffered blunt force trauma, Sullivan said. Police did not find a weapon at the scene, he said. Autopsies are expected to be performed Friday. If the deaths are ruled homicides, it would be the first quadruple homicide in DuPage County. Sullivan said detectives were interviewing numerous people in DuPage and Aurora. The crime occurred in a neighborhood described by residents as quiet and secure, patrolled frequently by a private security firm and Aurora police. Families with children live alongside older couples. Neighbors were stunned by the deaths. Homeowner Jim Lieb said violent crime is unheard-of in the neighborhood. "It's Pleasantville. There's nothing going on here," said Lieb, 53. "If we see a firetruck, [it's because] someone overcooked the bacon." "This just shocks me," said Tom Purpura, who moved to the neighborhood about the same time as the Tsaos. "This is a very quiet couple." According to neighbors and public records, the Tsaos moved to the neighborhood in 2001. Neighbors said the couple has no children. Neighbors described the couple as friendly. Jimmy Tsao worked at a Plainfield business that refurbished computers and exported them, neighbors said. Kate Tsao also worked outside the home, they said. "They're a nice couple. She took up gardening. Jimmy liked to golf," neighbor Thomas Kosanda said. Police were summoned to the house shortly after 2 p.m. by a relative checking on them because Kate Tsao had not gone to work. Sullivan said police and firefighters entered the home and discovered a body on the first floor. Police searched the house and discovered the other three bodies, he said. Sullivan would not say where in the house the bodies were found. DuPage has had three triple homicides in the last decade. On Sept. 14, 2004, Federico Torres, 36; Guillermo Armendariz, 36; and Hilario Ochos, 25; all of Texas, were shot to death in the parking lot of a Willowbrook restaurant. Hector Moya, 30, of Cicero is charged with all three slayings. Drug trafficking is suspected in the deaths. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty if Moya is convicted. His trial is pending. In March 1999, Marilyn Lemak drugged and suffocated her three children, Nicholas, 7, Emily, 6, and Thomas 4, in her Naperville home. A jury rejected her claim of insanity, and she is serving a life sentence in prison. And on Nov. 16 and 17, 1995, Debra Evans, 28, was killed in her Addison apartment as a live unborn child was cut from her womb. Samantha, her 10-year-old daughter, also was slain in the apartment, and her son Joshua, 7, was kidnapped and found murdered the next day in a Maywood alley. Lavern Ward, Fedell Caffey and Jacqueline Williams were all convicted and are serving life sentences. Caffey and Williams originally were sentenced to death, but they were taken off Death Row when former Gov. George Ryan commuted all death sentences to life in prison in 2003. i read this, aweful, i used to live near by...its insane

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 30, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Not a fan of these guys, but last night in the car I was listening to XRT. They mentioned The Spin Doctors have a new record out. They also said the group had taken a long break because their singer had lost his voice due to 'vocal paralysis'. Anyone know the story or familiar with this condition? Do you lose the ability to make any sound at all? By the way, they played a new song and his vocals sound different now but their music still sucks...errr, I mean, is not to my liking. rejoice? uhh... anyways...if anyone would like my favorite song from lightning bolt...(just pm me)

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) knowing the slight-to-medium indie flavor of this board, I am expecting alot of scoffs and pointing fingers at this, but I have to say that I really like the new Bloodhound Gang album that came out yesterday, "Hefty Fine". These guys may all be dick and fart jokes, but they have this 70's/punk rock/rap meld that just draws me in every time. It is almost a seemless transition from their last album, "Hooray for Boobies" in musical style, but it doesnt really come off as a repeated effort. Of course, they have had damn near 6 years to come up with these 12 new songs(actually, about 10 new songs, there are 2 soundbites that are 4 and 8 seconds long), But I think Jimmy Pop did a fine job. I think I mostly enjoy thier albums because they make me laugh, but there are some really cool dance beats and catchy tunes mixed in there too. /ducks thrown objects i think you'd be suprised how many "indie" kids i know that were looking forward to that album. But oddly enough, they were not impressed at all with it...i unno, i won't listen to it... (radiohead is back in the studio )

89.1 was my favorite when i was home.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) f*** NO. Not at all what I'm looking for. I saw those guys at Lolla a few months ago and I felt like I was at a cult meeting. Not sure what all the fuss is about. By the way, those guys are playing here this week I think. Thx for the suggestion anyway. did you see them play with bowie on the fashion first show or whatever...it was brilliant. I unno, i think funeral is a great album, probably my top 2 of albums from 04. Neighborhood #2, wake up, neighborhood #3...they do some cool stuff...plus them live and album are too very different experiences, they're very theatrical...they owned coachella and to the feller looking for raw guitars... check out lightning bolts new one - hypermagic mountain...or the liars - they threw us in a ditch and put a monument on top.

that was just aweful baseball in the last two innings. AWEFUL ATROCIOUS HORRIBLE baseball. HOW CAN YOU NOT BUNT? HOW CAN YOU NOT DO YOUR JOB?? you did it all first half and you forget? Our first half was systematic, leadoff baserunner, steal, bunt, sac fly, run. GAME OVER. NOW its K K K K K K K K K K K K K HR!!! K K K K K K K K K K K K HR!!! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

exactly the type of situational hitting that will take us far in the playoffs... Oh wait...

makes me pretty happy, it could have been better but you have a to build a casual fan base. Plus, with the increases in ticket prices and parking and gas, nice effort by the fans.

good good article

sounds like our lineup...still a CG 1 ER i want this to end in DET

this was great...thank you sox...thank you soo much... i'm starting to think if we really pull this off ( no jinx, i'm knocking on every piece of f***ing wood available) that it could make us a BETTER playoff team then had we entered at 15.5 games ahead. but i am just hoping we still win the division/make the playoffs

wow

ghost mountain - the unicorns.. i don't know why.
