QUOTE(Allsox @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 10:18 AM) All yr long, we've read and heard in papers and talk shows that the Sox are "tired" still from playing an extra month last yr. Well, the NL Champion Houston Astros (Who played more games in Oct than the Sox did) have won 9 consecutive games and are 1/2 game back of Division leader St. Louis. Granted, they're playing in the NL, which is barely a step-up from Triple A but funny how I haven't heard a word from them about being tired from last yr's playoffs to make the run they're on right now If the White Sox were in the NL Central we would have had a clinching party by now. Your argument is flawed.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 08:06 AM) Another fun one was Franks return to Chicago with his two HRs and it still not being enough after Macowiak's 9th inning HR to tie it, and the rally in the 10th... all conviently for our patio party. That's one of my favorite memories, also!!

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) it's finally over. this team gave up after the all star break. i'm glad the final mathematical bulls*** is done. f*** THE SOX. they're gonna have to prove something to me next year as i have to predict them to finish 4th behind the indians... Don't worry...You can go back to whatever baseball team you rooted for prior to fall 2005, now.

I will always be amazed by the names and avatar "fans" use on this site... But, I agree with you Mike. Give this team a chance to rest and heal. Then we come back with a vengence.

Sandy Alomar was laughing and telling Iguchi to get back to 3rd after he just scored.

No LIE....I blacked out after the AJ home run I can laugh now, but it was scary. We were sitting in 107. I had thoughts of the Dodgers game runnign through my head. I turned to my brother and mentioned that AJ is going to do it again. The BAM. There it goes!!! I jumped up(as did everyone else) into th aisle and jumped up and down screaming as the ball sailed into the stands. Then the next thing I see is the back of the chair infront of me as my wife and friends are asking me if I'm OK. The fireworks were still going off and as I sat I saw the celebration forming as AJ rounded the bases. So this lasted but a second. I felt fine and was completly aware. But MAN what this team does to me...LOL So anyway the Doctor I saw afterwards explained it was a Vasovagal syncope caused by sitting for a long time and jumping up too quickly(i'm sure the beers helped, too). Most people would get light-headed, but you can pass out for a brief second too. I'm fine. But it was weird. My advice...If AJ has the chance to win a game...stand-up slowly before he swings. Aj makes me swoon, I guess.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) And just where did I make a judgement? And where did I say what he could and couldn't do? I mean seriously. Come on and give me some s*** about things I actually do say and not some half brained bulls*** from the imagionary voices. GMAFB.. accusing ME of passing judgement on someone who's family member was murdered. You obviously have me confused with Nuke. Steff just make love...not judgements.

Our team is undefeated with Sweeney in the Lead-off spot. So, yeah, keep that line-up for good.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 07:42 AM) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060907/ap_en_tv/hilton_arrest LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton was arrested early Thursday for investigation of driving under the influence, police said. Hilton was arrested shortly before 12:30 a.m. after being pulled over in Hollywood, said police Officer I. Isabella, who declined to give his first name. Police stopped Hilton because she was "driving erratically," he said. "The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence," Isabella said, reading a police statement. Hilton was booked on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and released, he said. Her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, confirmed the arrest and said police detected the minimum blood-alcohol level to warrant an arrest. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. "She's absolutely fine," Mintz said. "She didn't appear in the least bit to be intoxicated." At the time of her arrest, Hilton was driving home in her Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren from a charity event where she had one drink, a margarita, he said. She had spent the day shooting a music video for her new album, "Paris." The driving under the influence symptoms were "probably the result of an empty stomach and working all day and being fatigued," Mintz said. She was picked up from the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood station by her sister, Nicky, Nicky's boyfriend, actor Kevin Connolly, and Mintz. In June, Hilton had a fender-bender accident when her Range Rover backed into a car in a parking garage after a shopping trip. How far has Elliot Mintz fallen...From John Lennon to Paris Hilton. I guess the money is good!

That's not too impressive. I was shutout seven times in one night before... What a sad life I led...

Now that Suri's out...How long before her dad comes out? AWWW SNAP!!! NO I DINNIT....YES I DID!!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Ahhh*no*choo... Bless *I agree* you!

I can't think of a better way of returning to the board than by wishing one of best guys here a Happy Birthday!!

I have come to the conclusion on the direction that Soxtalk will be heading...down. I do not mean the site in itself. The admins are awesome and the site is great and a pleasure to navigate. But the attitude of the posters here. My gosh. This is an incredibly negative place that I have no interest of reading. Choke avatars "The Season is over" Everyone from struggling players to great players like Crede and Thome and even Guillen getting the full brunt of insults and pathetic, illogical conclusions to their abilities. Enough is enough. My God we won the World Series last year and so many people are still ready to jump ship and declare the season done. Good. Go. Join another fanclub or site and leave. Is there some kind of emotional high you receive from predicting doom? I feel that so many here WANT the White Sox to lose just so they can be proven correct. If that's what you want, wow. Great fan you are. Now, am I saying we should be blindly optimistic and not realize what our team is doing right now? HELL NO. Our pitching has not been as good as last year, we have been horrible at bunting and doing some small things. But we are FAR from done in the division. Why??? Bacause we have good players...if you didn't notice we won the F'in World Series last year. Good players have a history of pulling themselves out of slumps. See last September when so many of the same people declared Cleveland the champs! But there you were crow in hand cheering on the champs when the season was done. These same players turned it around. Plus its friggin JULY!! Now if this was September...yes, I'd be more worried because time and history would not be on our side. But for now I will enjoy MY TEAM a team I have rooted and cried for since I was a boy. I team I screamed for last October. A team that made our dreams come true. But since so many wish to create nightmares...I am choosing not to read them anymore. There is no more insight; no more logical discussions that set Soxtalk above the rest. Its all negative, extreme reactionary posts from now on, I guess. Thank you for the good time and I will be back come fall when we are in happier moods...hopefully. Toodles, Ribbie

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) The Rally Crede doesn't need to throw balls at full speed. Instead, he'll just allow the runners to take their bases! So insightful...

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) How the hell do you know any of this? I'm tired of people suggesting perhaps this is our only slump. Or those who love to riddle posts with cliches such as, "every team goes through these periods," or "we did it last year and it turned out fine." Listen to me, here: forget about last season. Referencing last years August/September swoon, as if to imply we're going through that point now, is a flimsy set of logic. But saying "The Season is over", "We won't make the playoffs"...etc screams of logic? At least we are going by a history that these players have of coming out of slumps and playing great baseball.

So we should close it down until when? 2010? 2011? Tell me when I should follow this team again...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) Stop being pessimistic, everything is alright. I repeat EVERYTHING is ALRIGHT! Please, we are all aware that the team is struggling. But at least we are not going to extreme like some here proclaiming the division over.

And the choke avatars come out again...in July. ::yawn::
