QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) It's not like I am bashing CQ. There are bigger fish to fry. Nobody asks the negative poster's about Contreras being washed up or claiming Thome should be released what is the use of them being a fan. If being a baseball fan is all about supporting marketing for your team, then I bought season tickets for the wrong sport. I'm not sure anybody would want to be Brooks right now with all the negative comments coming from the media about our marketing campaign. I still wish you would answer my question. What else would you have fans doing? What are our other fish that need frying? What are you even talking about?!?

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:03 PM) Lol, a lot of people on this board seem to think the success of the season will be based on wheter or not Quentin will get to go to the All-Star game. It's not a big deal people. Who said that? Please provide link. I don't think anyone here said that. Success to us is another Championship. But we support our players in anyway possible. You see we are...oh what's the word...fans. QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:03 PM) It's a popularity contest, and yes we can all agree CQ deserves to be there... makeing that the number 1 priority right now is going a bit overboard imo. I'm glad I'm not Brooks either, our new commericals are downright awful, our promotions this year are absurd. Who is making it the Number one priority? Marketing? THAT'S THEIR JOB! To promote the players and the team.

You would have been fired from marketing and promotions for telling Jerry that it isn't a priority.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:36 PM) a larger number of haters on the espn article message board. Because it has nothing to do with Boston or NYC.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:22 PM) I really hope that a miracle happens and we get it. The event would do wonders for the development in this city, especially with public transportation. Of course our real estate market would be a nice bonus. My wife and I already decided we would rent our house out for the time and head on down to Disney! Unless I can score some tix to Female Beach Volleyball...

Not really surprising news...but we are in third. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24969121/site/21683474/

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) meh...this organization and fanbase cares way too much about "writing-in" players for the all-star ballot, going back to Vote Podesednik and Punch A.J. If he makes it, great. If he doesnt, can we just focus on winning some games rather than worrying about getting our newfound star one AB in the mid-season classic? You do realize it is the JOB of the marketing department to promote and market players and the team?!? Not the development of talent and scouting, right?

HapPy B-Day!!!!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) I have also met alot of Sox players because I work at their official hospital but its usually wierd. Next time, see if you can get the doctors to reattach some of their balls.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 30, 2008 -> 07:46 AM) Unless they distinctly show a person die in the show I don't assume they are dead. Kristen at E!Online has on good authority(and she has great sources) that Jin is fine and back next season.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 30, 2008 -> 12:18 PM) The hot one is on that Tila Teguila show this season. I smell publicity stunt by MTV. That network is pathetic now.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ May 30, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) I read today that Comcast will be broadcasting a replay of the game in its entirety after midnight. NO ONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!

I always hope for a sweep!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 22, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) Wet plushie can't smell very good in the summer sun... It's better than Sweaty Plushie... But you shouldn't worry about that during the game...as I am rather lazy.

Hollywood has no shame...Now they are adapting the great IronMan trailer into a Full-length film! Wildly Popular 'Iron Man' Trailer To Be Adapted Into Full-Length Film

QUOTE (chisoxfan79 @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) This question should not even have been asked, Has anybody even worn number 35 since Frank left And no one will. It has already been "unofficially" retired

I don't think anyone here would oppose a Statue and Number Retirement for Frank Thomas. If there is someone, I would love to hear the case against Frank being honored.

Count Floyd!!! Cause when he pitches he is....Oooh, Scary!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 07:16 AM) Well that certianly explains the DUI arrest He's a handsome young man, you did well Why I oughta.... Thank you Mike and your daughters are lovely. Lets fix them up...tell your youngest to contact my son via his Myspace or facebook.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) http://boringtheworld.blogspot.com/2008/04...y-together.html Hey Ribbie, I guess that answers my question on if they are "born that way" or not! The Fur comes from my side of the family...he takes after his mom.

A few of us have had new babies enter our lives in the past few months. Sure they've taken our important time away from posting here (unless you are SS2k5 who has a laptop on the changing table), but we should be able to share more of our happy time with you our Soxtalk family. My Son, Thomas, is 3 1/2 months old now and he is a chunk. He is already sleeping through the night and eating rice cereal once a day. Here is his latest mugshot from his recent DUI arrest: Steff? Mike? anyone else?
