QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:55 AM) Agree. I have a pretty good relationship with him outside of work (him and his family have been over to the house for parties, etc.. and him and Jim and my dad bowl together.. so I'm hoping that is in the back of his mind as I tell him this. I wouldn't tell him you are thinking about it. What if you change your mind? You will have put doubt in their ability to count on you...maybe.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 07:43 PM) get tom clancys splinter cell 3 when it comes out its supposed to be amazing and one of the best X Box games ever and it will have excellent multiplayer online Are you going to be playing it Live? If so, what's your tag? Mine is Mad Bohemian

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) Mainly Halo 2 at the moment, but I've also got Top Spin, Burnout 3, Tom Clancy Splinter Cell (the 1st one), and Crimson Skies. I'm taking an extended break from Halo 2...I was getting sick of the cheating and bad attitude players. I'll be back on once the new maps are released via XBox Live.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 08:08 AM) Thanks Ric Flair!! If you don't like it, learn to love it. Because its the best thing going. Whhoooo! I didn't see any of this preview stuff, but hardly mentioning the Sox seems pretty ridiculous. Oh well, f*** em all. :finger

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) Well, to be fair, the gas station was giving away free bottled water and free slushies. Right now they give away a free Des Moines Register with any gas purchase. Ooh, I need to know what's happenin down in Des Moines...although, a free slushy sounds better!

He's turning into a media whore!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Absurd. Yes, it seems there is a suprisingly high number of pitchers (past or present) that have used steroids. But, to accuse a guy of steroid usage after lowering his pant-legs...please. I think Willie Harris is doing steroids. Right after we signed Iguchi, he came out and got all mad and told the media about his anger. Sounded a lot like Roid rage to me.

Marte strikes out the side! Ed/John say its the best he's looked in a year.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) disagree imensely. The 83 uni is a classic and clean look that will definatley stand out as one of the best that they have worn. Preach on brother Raines. I'm with you on that one, hence spending $200 on it. Ouch.

QUOTE(Grebeck Fan Club @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) I just bought an adjustable 'green sox' St. Patty's day hat. It's my Sox purchase for the year. I do have the 2001 "1917" Sunday throwback jersey. Number 31 on the back (guess who that is). Nobody's number....players didn't have numbers until the 20's.

Sounds like things are getting dangerous around there. You'd better head to Chicago for some safety! And can I get directions to that new gas station? Sounds awesome!

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) Do they have this one at Grandstand? http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?prod...rentPage=family I wanna try it on in person before I decide to buy. they have so many sox hats, its hard to believe they wouldn't have it. I'm sure you could call and ask.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) I got a buehrle authentic road one w/ AS patch on it for '03 xmas. Authentics are worth the money, they look so much better. No doubt about it. I have a '83 Thomas jersey, and it has the cool side patch of old comiskey. Yeah, I know, Thomas in an '83 jersey!?! Remember, he has worn it on turn back the clock day. Its bad ass.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) I don't know if it would interfere with my job (probably not) but I am much, much, much more afraid of little nasty yippy dogs than big dogs. Ummm, wouldn't you rather be bitten by a little pisser dog, one you could punt, than bit by a German Sherperd?

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) I just meant I havent given in to paying the $50 a year for it yet... especially since it pisses me off PS2 online was free, just needed to cable.. Thats what I meant, Im sure its fun online I look at it more of just over $4 a month, not $50 a year. Not like that really matters. I don't have a problem with them charging for it. I hate the PS2, so having it for free doeesn't appeal to me. DBAHO, I have added you to my friends list. What are you currently playing?

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) When Big Frank returned to the Sox in 2002 after missing nearly the entire '01 season due to the tricep problem, he struggled mightily. His numbers were by far the worst of his career hitting .252/.361/28/92 on the season but he was lucky to reach those #'s considering his .239/.333/.774 first half numbers. So we turn the page to '05 and we've got Frank once again returning from a major injury. Am I the only one who is concerned about a repeat of '02? I think it's really important for Frank to have a solid season for this team to succeed, but I'm seriously worried about where his skill level will be when he returns and just how many months it will take him to find his groove again. Could it just be the nature of the tricep injury that had such an effect on his hitting or was it simply the inactivity after surgery that pulled him down? Give me some reassurance please, I could use some. I would guess that the Triceps affected his swing more, and would be harder to come back from. I know this, we're going to find out.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) your girlfriend hooked up with PK? It was my honor to share her with our current homerun king!

They also have some cool signed stuff. Again, can get expensive. I think its official, we are the dark side of the force. Does that make Jerry Reinsdorf the Emperor? Kenny GM is Darth? Who is Ozzie?

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) dude sox fans are the darkside of the force.... and were proud of it! obi wan kneobi can take his lightsaber shove it up his ass side ways.... f*** him. Whatever way you look at it, he's on the wrong side of the force. It was funny how we were sitting in a bar trying to find the last person to invite to the game, and this guy goes 'I'll go'. And lately he's been saying he's done with baseball, because the Cubs have pissed him off. So I think we have a guy we can convert. Once he has a good time at the Cell, he'll be switching sides.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) I think you meant that your friend is on the darkside.. and now you are using the Jedi ways to bring him back to the good side of the force... Congrats on the jerseys.. How much do they charge over there? I am looking into getting a couple myself. Nice rewording... As for the Jerseys, the Konerko was $189...the Buerhle was $129. I guess because the Buerhle is the normal, all white home jersey, and the Konerko was the home white, with black sleeves. Things there are expensive, no doubt. But, that is due to the them being official MLB Clothes. If you get clothese that are not part of the 'Cooperstown Collection', they are cheaper. I wanted to buy so much stuff yesterday. Its the best place for Sox stuff, hands down.

In preparation for opening day, I went and ordered a Buerhle jersey to be worn on opening day. Also, hooked up the girlfriend with a Paulie Konerko. Also, bought a Sox hat for a Cubs fan I am taking to the game. He is fed up with his team, so we're trying to convert him, via a Club Level Opening Day Game. Hopefully I can bring this lost Jedi back from the darkside.

QUOTE(Hall of Famer @ Mar 28, 2005 -> 01:32 AM) This thing is a piece of crap... I only go with XBOX. The Piece of s*** 2 is an inferior product, therefore, I do not buy any Sony game stuff.

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 27, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) Halo 2 is just horrible single player mode... I have yet to play multiplayer... which I hear is the best part of the game, I am gonna have to try that someday... I havent sold out and gotten LIVE yet, but maybe one day Ill decide to get it Halo2 is all about the multiplayer. I don't know why getting Live is selling out, but there is some cool s*** out there. Splinter CEll has some of the coolest online stuff. You're missing out. No doubt.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 27, 2005 -> 03:59 AM) Guys I'm bumping this thread because I'm letting everyone know that I did buy a Wireless Bridge yesterday for my XBOX and now I have XBOX Live. My handle is DBAH0, same as on here, and I'd love to play some SoxTalk guys here on some Halo 2, Burnout 3 etc. plus you get to talk to the Aussie. Just PM me on talk to me on AIM if u want to. I am currently playing Splinter Cell 2 (part 3 come wednesday), Rainbow Six Black Arrow, and will be going back to Halo2 once the expansion pack comes out. My tag is Mad Bohemian....anyone else looking to play these games?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 25, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Jinxes are for Cub fans! I thought it was goats and curses?
