QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Sep 11, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) (Its time for Ozzie to get rid of his 'Dusty Baker-esque' buddy system and go with the hot hand I've always respected Ozzie and his managerial style...but his timo and duque crushes are disturbing. Time to make McCarthy the 5th starter.

Not too happy he is buddies with a Cub...but I love him anyway. Love the glove, love the arm, and hope to love his continued improvements at the plate.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) We're in the suite tonight... glutton for punishment. 3 nights in a row. Hello, My name is Steff and I am an alcoholic... I'm going to enjoy watching the games from home this weekend. Have fun. Remember, if your live explodes...well, I guess you're f***ed.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) They need the elevator if they have food service up there. Yea.. I'm going. My liver is screaming "Noooooooo...." but I'm going. My liver is screaming too...I got offerered free 1st row, 1st section club level...turned it down. I think I'm one of those band-wagon fans.

No worky...need to be a member.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) Yes, that's it! Thanks so much for helping me out! My little three year old will get a thrill just dancing around the living room to it. I know its a corny (pardon the pun) piece of fluff, but there is just something about it. You know, I think it is the one tune that probably sounds just as authentic in MIDI format, although that may or may not be a compliment! http://dot.kelder.net/~jones/popcorn/mp3/1972/hot_butter.mp3 (dang, I didn't know this song had so many versions...) SFF Wow, that was horrible. Enjoy.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) I've been up there a bunch and never noticed it I was standing at the back and I just said 'Oh, they have an elevator, how nice'...true story.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) Do they have an elevator that goes up there? Actually they do...i noticed it yesterday.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) Juggs, this is all you. You said Juggs....heh, heh.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) Sounds like the song that comes on when the 'empire' is on the screen. Sorry, I was thinking Star Wars...if you give a vague description, you get a vague response.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) Hey, folks. I would appreciate some help placing a song that they queue up every so often at the Cell. I am not very musically saavy so it is hard for me to describe, but it is stuck in my head and I would really like to know what it is. It seems to me to be more of a beat then a song and the best I can describe it is that is begins by sounding kind of like bubbles popping or water dripping. It goes kind of like "bum BUM bum bum-bum bum, bum BUM bum bum-bum bum...". Does anyone recognize what song I am talking about? If not perhaps you could list the songs you know are played regularly and I could look them each up until I recognize it. SFF Sounds like the song that comes on when the 'empire' is on the screen.

However you score it, it was awesome. I had a perfect view of it, sitting on the 1st base side...and seeing the play happen was cool. Ozuna also was like 2 feet off the air on his dive. Then freddy f***ed it all up!

I go with Ozuna...Crede's bat just sucks.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Right now I'd put this guy on the bump in the first game of the playoffs. Gotta go with the hot hand. As much as that sounds like crazy talk, its not. Ozzie has some tough playoff decisions coming. But that's why he's the manager and we're not.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) you SHOULD be concerned about The Duke. He hasnt done anything in the playoffs worthy of a start since 2000. I think he goes right to the bullpen, and doesnt see much time unless its garbage. I have never been as concerned about Jose as I am with El Pukee. This guy's favorite activity is going from 0-2, to 3-2, to walk. I would love to see Mark, Jon, Freddy, Brandon, and Jose. And I hate going to El Dukee games...he always loses when I go (except tuesday) and he drags the game along. Its like watching paint dry.

This thread blows goats...cursed ones even!

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) $9M for a guy that wins 15 games a year sounds right. I say he doesn't win 15 this year...

On a serious note, they should pay US to watch the Royals....yuck!

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:33 AM) It is pretty ridiculous that to prove you are a sox fans you put whip out your credentials of the games that you have attended this year. I do not think true fans realistically need to go to any games. But I believe they should, if they can afford it. I'm not going to sit here and say people have to go...but obviously, money helps the team compete. Plus, if we show up, Reinsdorf can't play poor on us.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) However it is worded doesn't matter. 15,000 people at a game with the best record in baseball in September is embarassing. I don't care if the Stickney little league B-team is on the field, there should be people in the seats. All this does is prove groups like the Tribune Company and Jay Mariotti right. Whoa...the stickney little league B-team is pretty damn good.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:22 AM) I will be there with my mom and brother on 9/24. With the wedding coming up, unexpected car repairs and needing tires before winter, it is the best I can do. Sorry if it is not enough for the players. I don't think this pertains much to people on this board. People here are pretty dedicated and go when/if they can. I just think a lot of fans just don't bother. I don't know, this topic is so 'played out'.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:18 AM) I'd appreciate if you revised your comments here. I'm sure you meant to say something like "many casual Sox fans are fairweather"... I've got several friends from a bar who have yet to go this year, or have barely gone. Or went to Cubs/Sox and that is it. Its kind of sad. The one guy even has access to free VIP tix.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Ain't gonna happen kiddo... And if it does... Really, who you gotta screw around there to win that thing?

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 09:14 AM) Plainfield... close. Not quite. You are closer than we are. That should have been in green...I love being 15 minutes from the park...Viva La Stickney!
