I will NEVER forget how utterly confused Torii Hunter looked at Shingo's change-up... nor the sheer dominance of using Shingo in MVP 06 online against the poor bastards he always struck out. His changeup was unhittable in that game! Thanks for the GONG Shingo! Good luck!

Regardless, it was a great article.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) was the actual number under debate or something? yes, one was hit so well it must still be in the air.

Ah luuuuuuv K DUbbya

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:36 PM) I know, I know... It will be interesting to see how they react if (when) we hit a slump. Wonder how many will jump off the ship at the first 3 game skid... :rolly means cheap seats on stubhub...

QUOTE(Felix @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) IIRC, either Ozzie or Kenny said at SoxFest that Brian would bat 8th and Crede would bat 9th. word

Well, based on sabremetrics... this should be our lineup (based on 2005 OPS)- batters projected to be starters... 1B Paul Konerko (.909) RF Jermaine Dye (.846) 2b Iguchi (.780) 3B Crede (.756) C Pierzynski (.728) DH Thome (.712) SS Uribe (.712) LF Podsednik (.700) CF Anderson (.559) There you go, absolutely no point to this post... much like this entire pointless thread!

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) I don't believe that. Failing last year would have been worse than anything. You can't expect to win the World Series every year. The postseason is mostly about how one team gets hot and wins the whole thing. Absolutely. I want it bad, and knowing what it feels like, I want it more. But I would not be crushed and it would ruin nothing if they didnt do it. 2005 will forever be etched in my memory.

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 07:24 AM) It's a game in which we Sox "fanatics" (hence called the 'core of the core') get together for food, brew, and a game where we can out-analyze each other... a good time guaranteed. You get to actually meet other people on this board and other Sox' boards. can't f***in wait.

I probably will come to this...

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) Fireworks/Holiday weekend....just a guess. I dont give a s*** if they blow up an atomic bomb... sold out against the royals?? haha

QUOTE(Adam G @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) Did I read this correctly? Um, yeah. Do you have a point??

I believe that some underestimated the effect of winning a World Series would have on this town. Absolutely Awesome... a testament to KW and Jerry Reinsdorf... unheard of even last year.

Entertaining, especially the section on weird clauses added to players' contracts.

QUOTE(pale_hose @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) We know Brian Anderson was a stud in Triple A. We know he hit 16 or 17 dongs That was it for me...

Wow, the Indians finally got bumped after spending the entire offseason on top (released right after we won the world series.) This is a huge victory for the White Sox.... just kidding. However, it feels f***ing weird to look at the pre season power rankings and see my chicago white sox on top.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 01:19 PM) You forgot one: '91. Miraculously, I believe that was his exact point. We're talking about having already won one, so he was talking about 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

what a shocking development! HOLD THE PRESS! THIS JUST IN! ROCK STARS HAVE SEX WITH GROUPIES! -never in the history of the world has this happened. NEVER.

streets are for cars. crosswalks mean nothing to psychos 15 minutes late for work... sad but true..............

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) Next thing you know they'll say you should buy a new copy every time you want to listen to it. I can hear it now.... "The record labels put a lot of time and expense into creating these discs, and to use the same CD over and over and over, with no time limits or limit to number of plays, really isn't fair to the poor, poor media conglomerates who do such a fine public service providing these goods to the consumer. A one-play per disc concept is really the most equitable way to show gratitude to the record companies, so we're calling for such a concept today." WARNING: This disc will self destruct in 5 uses.

Well, it used to be you could only download music if you owned the CD (that was what they considered fair) they are just money hungry and can all eat dicks somewhere small and uncomfortable. What? Like the back of a Volkswagon?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) Turn on the radio and listen to the sweet rumblings of Chris Singleton. I actually think Singleton is going to be decent. He was pretty good at Soxfest I thought. I'm actually more worried about Farmer doing the play-by-play. Rooney is sooo good. Not that I don't love Ed, because I do.
