QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 06:22 AM) From the artist's sketch it looks like an open-air stadium, no roof. I hope the Twins like spending every April on the road. Maybe they can get that killer West Coast road trip to start their season off on the wrong foot? That'd be nice..... It isn't If you click on the virtual tour videos, you'll see it's like the new stadium in Seattle with the retractable roof.

Nothing will ever be as magical like the first home game back from that road trip in 2000. After we spanked the Indians and the Yankees, going 8-0 on that trip, the Monday night home crowd was electric!! The spontaneous standing ovation that occured during the old White Sox sonata was incredible. Sox Pride was at it's peak! We can repeat that again this season, when the time is right.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:51 AM) Totally agree. This team actually reminds me of the 1990 White Sox team that won 94 games (Damn Oakland and their 103 wins)

4-0 SOX!!!

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) As much as I hate it when someone says 'The Sox suck because KW didn't sign the guy I wanted, the immortal [insert AAA/$25 mil talent here]'... I hate it just as much when someone says, 'We're winning, so I don't want to hear anything negative out of any of yous'. No thought police is why this is a good site. I never said: "Don't post anything negative" I said: Don't think so negative all the time or you'll miss out enjoying this wonderful start!

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) If your going to steal my material at least give me credit. How would you like it if I changed my name to Uribe and Rubarb. LOL... I didn't steal. You were my inspiration!

Don't be a Chicken Little! Enjoy your White Sox, please? Stop thinking of reasons we'll lose. You'll make yourselves depressed.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) I was listening to the game on XM. They use the home team broadcast. the tigers broadcasters were commenting on the hot start of the Sox. They said the hot start won't last because Contreas and Garland won't be consistent, Hernandez won't make 25 starts and they have bad infield defense especially that shortstop. Someone tell them Valentin isn't playing here anymore.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 25, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) Seriously, I just don't understand why some people are so worried about where stuff gets posted. If it is egregiously in the wrong place, one of us will move it. I sorry, but your reply to that comment should be in the "Sex, Lies & Politics" board since it has nothing to do with Sports.

Why are so many people on this board so pessimistic? So, if there is a downfall, you can say "I told you so" or not be too depressed?? If there is a downfall, fine... But for now... ENJOY!!! ENJOY!!! ENJOY!!! We are playing some exciting baseball and winning!! P.S. The difference between us and the 2003 Royals is they were a young team overachieving. Beuhrle, Garcia, El Duque and even Garland have been the MLB for a long time and now how to win. Our line-up is filled with Vets from winning teams.

They did have the same record last year at this time. As much as I would like to see the Yanks falter, they have proven in the past they can turn it on and win.

Lenny Dykstra, a key cog in the New York Mets World Series title in 1986 and the Philadelphia Phillies National League pennant in 1993, is being accused of steroid use and illegal gambling, the Los Angeles Times reported... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2045153

Where the hell is this Global Warming everyone is screaming about?!?

We are sending our Top Three guys out there against them. A series win and a 9-1 road trip would be outstanding! (then again a sweep would be pretty cool, too)

I do not understand ESPN's philosophy on hiring commentators or experts for their desk shows. On their football shows, they have All-Pros, MVPs, and Superbowl Winners. On their Baseball shows they have Harold Reynolds, Steve Phillips, John Kruk (granted he was an all-star and played in one WS) It seems a bit off...

If it wasn't for Shingo's blown save against Cleveland we'd be 14-3, now!

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) And where would this be? the upper deck? How about if you just throw all the low lifes, such as yourself, that think this is appropriate behavior to the upper deck. That would make everyone's experience so much better. My season tickets are in the upper deck. No need for an insult... I have been sitting there, right behind home plate, since 1992. We police it in our little area just like the old Chicago Stadium. It's very polite by us. Everyone works together to keep it civil. Plus From a guy who has hardly posted...way to make freinds. :headshake

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) rubard is apparently the mascot for the AAA Seattle affiliate the Tacoma Rainers. Yes and no, it seems. Yes, it's name is Rhubarb No, it looks nothing like the White Sox's mascot from that bygone era. http://www.tacomarainiers.com/rhubarb.htm One thing is common... Girl Magnet! Better quality out here, though

I think Marks comes out for the 8th

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) And plushie mascots... Damn right.

I know...It's early. But the White Sox lead the American League in Team ERA at 3.38 & Home Runs at 20

My favorite was last year during the NBA finals when Steven Smith said: "The Lakers will WIN. Period." When someone asked him to elaborate he said: "Did I stutter? LAKERS. WIN." they didn't...but no one ever called that ass clown out.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 06:13 AM) Turns out he was a real ass though... oh...shame...shame :headshake
