You know, its not like we have totally collapsed. There is a team that has put together a miracle run and caught up with us. When was the last time a GM or Manager got fired from a team that was 30 over .500?

you guys shop at places other than Grandstand?

this is the most positive thread since June, keep it up!!!

Lets do the damn thing

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) Think of the revenue that the Injuns will bring in after having a 41 million dollar payroll this year and making the playoffs. Trust me Shapiro will spend to add more to that team. The indians used to have one of the highest payrolls in baseball. they rank near the bottom of the MLB in attendance however. I dont think their payroll will increase significantly. Secondly, we still have the best record in the AL, how many times has a GM or Manager been fired over that? If we were in our division last year with this record, would you still be calling for the same thing?

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) Milkman has been consistent in his non belief in this team all season. He's not saying anything now that he hasn't believed in. Unlike some of the people who are like "f*** IT, WE SUCK, BLAH BLAH BLAH", Milkman is a good baseball man who supports his beliefs. he is a wet blanket

everyone come on in!!!!!! momentum is on our side methinks

cleveland sucks

I always thought they should have a Hurricane Ditka and a Hurricane mini ditka, but thats just me.

BTW i changed my sig at the end of June.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) Haha I remember making that crappy sig in like 2 minutes. Look at the quality cutting job shoot, I can even get crappier than that

alright I've gone old-school on my sig from the winning days

good idea, im switching sigs too

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Oh good lord THIS THREAD IS A JOKE!!!! Don't you get that? I thought it was obvious. Now run along and play somewhere else, some of us would like to do something other than throw temper tantrums and pouting. its not a joke you over-poster. Rally Crede is in full effect. The powers are beyond us.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) hey y'all first post.... though I'll admit that Ive been lingering around quite a bit around here over the past few months. Great board, by the way......and on that note, I agree with this post 100% Ive been a split-season ticket holder for the past 4 years and this season has been nothing short of a dream, it is now up to us, the diehards that really care about this team to ensure that this dream does not turn into a nightmere. Despite our poor record with big crowds at home, our boys very much need us right now. Lets go back to the sold-out crowd on Memorial Day when we had no chance in scratching against the Angels... yet Timo found a way to hang. It took a total collapse and a surging Cleveland team for our Sox to get any press, and now that they have it, we hear nothing but negatives.....one confidence swing for our guys right now could mean everything to winning this division, that could have came last night.....but it didnt. I believed in this team when they were 0-0 and I certainly believe in them now. People need to show up in droves tonight to support this team with bells on. We are in the pilot's seat..... the rest of the season begins tonight. welcome to soxtalk great first post, please post more often. Optimism goes a long way.

Addy-im in

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) They sure will, and it will be justified. eh, i dont think we are that close to the WS at this point. Their's has to hurt much worse than if this happens. But, we control our own destiny, and I have some faith in the troops. They have gotten us this far, im looking to them to carry us into the playoffs.

160 is a good section.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) For once, I was in a section with almost NO fans of the opposition. THANK YOU, section 151!!!! It was SUCH a relief - I seem to always get stuck next to some busload of f***tards from the opponents' city! Even at Blackhawk games, I'd get stuck next to people from PITTSBURGH and f***ing OTTAWA!!!! WTF????? haahahaha I know the feeling. This sunday at the bears game was my first game not sitting next to someone who was cheering on the opposition. Its such a blessing.

I liked the way we played last night. We showed some heart coming back and then one swing away from winning the game. We havent seen this out of us in some time. Im hoping the playoff atmosphere will wake us up for a possible playoff run.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) I will be in chat tonight. I cant stomach going down there again to deal with the f***ing injun fans in the upper deck again. I wont even watch it on TV anymore, you might want to try that approach. Instead I watched some serious reality TV

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) You can't be serious with that line. And we're not the best team in baseball. Haven't been for a while, no matter how you look at it. thanks for being the all time worst wet blanket lately.
