  1. We need Valentin and his LH stick. Send Willie and Kelly
  2. You're right. I keep getting him and Oakland minor league phenom 2B Jose Ortiz confused. He played in Colorado, too, with Juan Uribe. I got it squared, now!
  3. Juan Uribe! Is he finally showing the promise that Oakland thought he had? What do you do when Jose returns?
  4. 2003 - A Cub fan pissed on someone's front lawn outside of Wrigley Field
  5. Way to go! It's times like these...I feel proud to be in the company of you fine folk... I'm getting emotional....
  6. How many games has Juan played?!? You'd think they'd start throwing them by now... BTW, I think that was a breaking ball he DIDN'T swing at that walked home the winning run... So...to Inside Dish: :finger
  7. Funny thing.. I NEVER played teeball or little league when I was a kid. You see, when my older brother played little league at 7 years old, I was 4. He got plunked in the head with a pitch...twice in a game. Luckily our family is blessed with hard skulls. But the result is my mother, who feared us walking into another room without her, decided I will not play any organized baseball as a youth. Which was kind of sad...I loved baseball, even at 4. My brother had no interest...still doesn't. Turnabout is fairplay! My son LOVES baseball, so he will get to play. My mom is going nuts.
  8. I just picked up the uniforms for my son's Teeball team, for which I am the coach. Black Jersey, Grey pants and Black Hat...Sox logo!!! We are your 2004 TeeBall White Sox!!
  9. The LINE SHOT promotion in 1998 was one of the most absurd ad campaigns I have ever seen for a Sports Team. For those who don't recall, it consisted of a series of commercials featuring Albert Belle, Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura and "secret-agent" crime fighters battling the evil Tim Kazurinsky. Bo Jackson played their driver and Jenny McCarthy was "the mysterious" girl. In one spot, Robin Ventura was kidnapped, tied to a chair wired to explosives. The villian exclaimed over the phone to Belle, in a bad Euro-trash accent: If Matt Karchner's fastball goes under 90mph...BOOOM!!" The unintential message: Come out to the ole ballpark for a night of Guns, Kidnapping and Terrorism! Big Ad Error on Gallas's part.
  10. I love it! I set it on the tee and you guys hit it over the fence!
  11. The first one who makes a joke about his coffin being Super-Sized gets a spanking! Mikey D's boss passes away
  12. This is the part that ruffles me... Why write that? The Cubs have never displayed any interest in Mags. What an asswipe
  13. I have been a "Wright as Closer" supporter for a while now. Wright has the stuff to be a closer. He's got a 94+ heater (could be 97, like Gagne if allowed to air it out only one innning) a good change and a awesome knuckle curve. The Dodgers never knew what they had in Gagne until they let him have at it due to an injury to Jeff Shaw. Give Danny a shot. Could he do any worse than Koch? The only downside is who will be our 5th starter? We need a quality pitcher in the rotation to make this move, I believe.
  14. When the Wife and I were first married, I hated going to the laundry. SS2k4 is right, it will cost you a lot. I prefer our Washer and dryer...I find doing Laundry relaxing. The gentle hum of the dryer; the scent of fabric softener... ahhhhh
  15. It's so simple and honest...pure comedy! Kicked in the Nuts! Episode #1 If this becomes a hit, can we expect a "Celebrity Kicked in the Nuts!" ? Get me Ashton Kutcher's agent!
  16. God, Julio was sooooo good in 1994. memories...misty water-colored memories...of the way we were....
  17. Thw White Sox had their chance in the early 80s to be on WGN or another netwokr station more, but JR decided that SPortschannel was the way to go and have Sox fans pay to see their club on TV. That is a MAJOR reason so many people became Cub fans...easier access in the 80s

    What a weird-o

    I told him that too!! But when he walked to the camera, I found that both creepy and disturbing.
  19. I got a feeling with the way Mussina has been pitching lately...A HUGE OFFENSIVE EASTER!! Prediction: 11 - 5 Sox win!
  20. Forget fastfood... The "Fatboy" at the Twisted Spoke on Ogden and Grand kicks all form of ass. Then if you are in the burbs, Goldieburgers in Forest Park on Circle Ave is the place to go!
  21. Gulf War vets who were tortured, beaten and held captive in inhumane conditions by Saddam in 1991 were awarded $1,000,000 from the Iraqi government. But now the White House says they can't have it... Nice "Commander and Chief" Bush screwing tortured vets!
  22. Wonderful! I haven't gone shopping for spring clothes, yet! *Dances around living room*
