QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) I think he's connected with the fans just fine.. it's the media he has an issue with. I agree Steff. I had the sincere pleasure and honor of meeting and chatting with the Big Man a few times. At one Soxfest he was signing autographs for a long line of people, I asked him to sign one of grey kids gloves they sell at the park, for toddlers. I said "Could you sign this for my Son" "Sure, how old is he?" "Just over a month old.." He asked if I had a picture, I took out my wallet and showed him. He told me that's a big kid for one month and that my son with take his job in 20 years. He connected fine, by me.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 07:44 PM) Yeah Ive heard Sweeney does a lot for the community... he is the only player that really deserves that C on their jersey... Variteck and Jeter arent real captains. When did Varitek piss in your cereal??

I love Uribe game ending DP. He tells Pablo: "I'll take this myself E-4"

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) Is Raffy eligible to play or is he suspended without opportunity to appeal? He already went through the appeal process. He is now out for 10 games.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) Maybe we can kill it now. Why?? Deals can still be made. Don't look.

I don't think Steff is referring to Jayson Stark.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) From the Orioles official website: Rafael's statement A brief translation: I couldn't tell what was being injected into me, due to the fact I was bent over and the "trainer" was putting the shot in my ass. Subsequently, I couldn't read the label.

Pablo :headshake

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) There was one previous to the game.. is there going to be another one? According to the Press Release Hawk was handed.

There will be a news conference after the game

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) LMAO... The friend that I stayed with has a condo on the other side of the harbor from Hooters so walking back to his place I saw tons of Sox fans. Then we went out to the bars within walking distance. But leave it to you to make it dirty.. Moi? :rolly

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) There were a lot there both Saturday and Sunday. I didn't get there until after 10 Friday but there were a lot of Sox fans out in the harbor and the bars. Very nice showing. Harbor bars, eh? Thought you might want some extra seamen on your poopdeck?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) I'm not too worried about it. Just trying to give his legs a rest. He's been in a mini-SB slump of late, and we don't have many off-days in the near future. We need to keep his legs as fresh as possible, so he can do what he does best. I see that. In the last week he had 6 CS.

From Scott Reifert's blog: I can see giving Gooch a day off. But why two days in a row for Scotty?

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) 11:30 in the morning, or night? night. :sleep

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 08:15 AM) They said he was on post game last night at 2B. I didn't see that...So am I still psychic??

I predict Geoff Blum starting at 2nd today.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 08:01 AM) And don't let this deter you from going. Just got back this morning and I love it more every time I go. I agree. It is a great city. Also, repesent Chicago in a classy way. Don't be loud and obnoxious. You'd hate it if someone did the same thing at The Cell in front of you.

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 07:14 AM) We will not be getting any players of significance this year after the deadline. Any contending team that even thinks the White Sox would be part of a trade would put a waiver claim onthe guy to squash it. Not really. It's a risky move. They would have to claim the player & salary and put them on their roster. Not a lot of teams would do that. i.e. Larry Walker

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) We have a closer with an 88 mph fastball? Get Billy Wagner quick. The only thing you should worry about with Hermanson is his back. I agree we need some insurance in the closer's role, but not because of his fastball. He is a geat closer.

The movie is brilliant!!! Hysterical, Offsensive, Dirty, & Insightful... Bob Saget is a dirty sonofab****!!

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) Hate? I know. I don't understand where that comes from. He could have used their names, but to say "hate a cuban" is a little out of line.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Stark was espnnews with this. He said the Twins still believe they can catch the White Sox. Considering he and all the other "experts" at ESPN have been anticipating the Sox fall from the AL Central and Twins rise since May...I'm sure HE is hoping they catch the Sox

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Even with a win, you gotta a hate a cuban... tsk. Is that needed?
