QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) White Sox win a 7-6 ballgame on a Joe Crede walk-off home run. Coincidence...I think not. Since it's maiden voyage, the BandVangon is 1-0 and only getting stronger. Help do your part, by combining the powers of the Rally Crede and the BandVangon. I'm not exactly sure what it's all about; but, I promise you it takes no work, we will have no meetings, will give nothing back to the community, and we will rock it like a mutha until post-season baseball. Not exactly sure what it's all about? Me neither. 30 Members or bust. Sign up here. All the cool guys are doing it. You are a cool guy...aren't you? I'm in, but I'm not sitting by Face.

I have two tix for tonight's game...Section 161, Row28, Seats 9 and 10...PM me if interested. By the way, lower bowl is sold out.

I feel real good about my tix for tonight's game and tomorrow's game. Thanks Crede, you helped me go to bed happy!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) I was very proud to be part of the "CLEVELAND SUCKS, CLEVELAND SUCKS, CLEVELAND SUCKS" chants in the upper deck. I wish you guys were right!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 08:14 AM) I had a nice Monday, weather excepted. Took my little one to school, read the paper a bit until it was time to get her. Watched a little bit of "Mr. Show" during the afternoon. Once my wife got home, we packed a "goodie bag" and headed out to USCF. Enjoyed the game, unfortunately the game went south after we left in the top of the 8th. ( My daughter was sleepy and I also had to get up at 4 this morning to come to work.....so sue me....heh..... ) Plus, it was my wedding anniversary yesterday, so a lot of "I love you"s were thrown around ( more than usual, even ), which is always a nice thing. Nice...too bad the sox couldn't have played better for you.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) I prefer to call my guy a "gaming services provider." "Bookie" is so 20th century, don't you think? I like that...lets go with it.

Yeah, I have yet to look for a song and not found it. Glad some people are enjoying it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Did anyone else remember that today be National Talk Like a Pirate Day? Arrrrhhh....avast ye scurvy Indians...we'll be sendin you down to Davey Jonse's locker. I never thought a guy with 4,000 posts in 5 months could have too much free time...but this officially proved it.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) What's the logic behind that one? Saving ourselves the aggravation...I guess...these would be the people who think we'll be swept in the first round.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Boy when you add the way the Sox have been playing to a bottle of lotion and some kleenex, this is the stuff that dreams are made of for Kotex-boy. Ewww...you should be banned for that...the visual is hurting my retnas!

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) I heard a funny take on the radio. The Sox are actually losing on purpose in order to secure the wildcard. The reason behind this is b/c the past few World Series Champions have come through via the wildcard. Not a bad idea...at least it explains the losing. They got something in the water in Indiana? Cause I tink you crazy!

QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Get her done. This made me think of edible under-britches.

I don't know how many people use these or already have one...I just started using this one...I have been able to find anything I want...so far...just jamming out with the Beatles right now. Internet Juke

QUOTE(Fotop @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) This is also 2005...use the internet. that's not gambling...use a credit card? come on...I like the danger!! Ok, there is no danger...but more instant gratification with a bookie.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) One word. Ugh. So today isn't a can of corn? Listen to the Beatles, always makes me feel better.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) Bookie? were you going to get beat around if you didn't pay up. I don't have a non-paying-up problem. This is chicago...bookies are a dime a dozen.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I'm in line for a pretty rough week of homework/studying for two tests. It's always difficult getting up for the first test of the semester. Luckily, the course is Environmental Biology. :sleep Don't do it...use your time wisely and watch the Sox sweep the tribe.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Have to pay over $400 today / tomorrow in car insurance and roadside assist cover. That'll do the old bank balance some good. Should have put your money on the Bears yesterday!

Starting off yesterday, I was down to the bookie $225. I went 3 for 3 (Bears, Bengals and Chiefs) and I am now up $175. Plus, the Bears looked awesome and the Sox won. Can't stop smiling this morning. How's everyone else doing?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) I agree it's not going to be a popular reccomendation. I see 2 different types of leadoff hitters in the league who work very well. First, guys like Podsednik, with speed enough to cause teams headaches by bunting, getting infield hits, slapping the ball places, and causing havoc on the basepaths. The other kind is the kind who is not necessarily as fast, but the kind who gets on base a lot via a high batting average and taking a lot of walks. This guy works because even though he's not distracting the pitcher as much, he's always on base for whatever boppers the team has behind him. Rowand is a moderately fast hitter, but he fits into neither of these categories. He's a .280 hitter this year who doesn't take many walks, doesn't cause problems on the basepath, doesn't take enough pitches to let the people behind him see what the pitcher is throwing, and he would probably end up scoring less runs than Podsednik in the 1 hole. Well said.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I would be all for giving Rowand a try in the leadoff spot...btw, this is NOT going to be a popular recommendation on this board. Of course not...did you not look at Pods stats in September? He is doing great. If the Everetts, and Dyes, and AJs turned it up, we might have something. And Ozzie, quit taking TAGUCHI out of the lineup.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 10:08 AM) But I ask you, is this the same Scotty Pod's that played against the Indians in April and June? He is out hottest hitter right now...so he needs to continue playing, especially given the other choices. His SBs are scaring me right now, but his bat needs to be out there.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 09:53 AM) How can anyone not feel good about a 17 game season and being given a 4.5 game head start, and playing your closest competitor 6 times? This is sooo awesome There isn't a fan on this board that wouldn't have gladly taken this position leaving Spring Training. How about a season where we were in 1st Place the entire time? Starting All-Star Pitcher? Voting in Pods? Possible Rookie of the Year? Soxtalk poster BMAC3520 achieving a career goal. Best record in the AL. It's a new season starting today. I'm going to enjoy every last moment. Get your recorders going. It's the home stretch and it's going to be fun. Love the optimism...lets do it!

QUOTE(Rich McKinney @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I thought you said this was a funny story? Why are you on this message board?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) after much deliberation I put all three of my games on ebay. Good luck to those who didnt get tix Your tickets you got from your season ticket plan? You smell doom in round 1?
