What you just said is exactly why I will never post here again. Thank you for proving my point. It took all of 4 replies for it to turn to a personal issue. So since you are here so you can curse, f*** you I'm out!!! P.S. There are a lot that are going to follow the lead. Grow the f*** up!!!!

Thank you. Hardcore or not we can all make well thought out posts without getting personal. Arguing good points is what this is here for. A lot of the stuff that happens here would turn into a fight if it was taking place in person.

In the short time I have been apart of this talk site it has taken a turn for the worse. Most od the posts are out of line and end up way off the subject and get personal. If you don't know then don't post something just to post it. We need to get back to good Whitesox posts where we can go back and forth on issues relating to the Sox. That being said, Huge game tonight. We can take 1st place with a win. We have Buehrle going against Washburn who has struggled this year and Buehrle is pitching as good as he ever has as of late. We need to take the last 2 games of this series and end the west coast for this year on a positive note. So, Please let us get back to good Sox talk and stop this nonsense. I would hate to leave this site or friends of mine that I turned on to this place to leave. You all have some knowledge but some recent occurences make people not want to post in fear of getting ripped apart by other members of the board. Remember, we are all here because we are Sox fans and care about the same thing.

Could be worse. You could be a Cub fan.

work

Just trying

Neal definately showed last night he has potential as he is not overpowering but suprising. the Angel hitters were off balance against him and couldn't hit the strikes he threw. His outing reminded me a lot of how Garland started out. Trying to be too perfect. He needs to just go out and throw. he has the stuff as does Garland but Neal will need to learn to throw strikes and let your D help you out. Our D has been great this year. Neal will be a starting pitcher in this league. Also, I think as Sox fans we think someone who is called up should throw a gem because it happens to us all the time but that is all we see. Pitchers are called up all the time that get shelled in their first outing, we just don't see it. If his first start was against us it might have been better.

The lineup I wanted to see except Rowand in center against the Southpaw.

Rays up 1 nothing still hitting in the bottom of the first. Terrorize Appier!!!

They said on Mac, Jurko, and Harry (hands down the best sports talk radio in Chicago) that they have already sold over 30,000 for tomorrow night's game.

Understand. I know some were down on Colon but I loved the deal when it happened and I still do. Without him we aren't even close in the race. Wright is our 4th starter and who knows who would have been our 5th starter, Gil Heredia? Not saying you have to like him on a personal level or join any sort of live fest, just show some support for a very important cog in the Whitesox wheel.

I think the Sox should move toward a 4 man rotation. We can't continue to give away every 5th game. The pithers are asking for. They have all gone to management and said they want that duty. They want it on their shoulders. They ant to knoe it is up to them. Not a random 5th starter. Any thoughts?

HSC, what is the matter with you. He has been lights out for the last 4-5 weeks. This guy won 10 games for the Expos last year. He is just fine and you better start supporting him because he is a intrical part for this team to be a winner. It sounds like you would rather him suck than the Sox win. Come on. It is rediculous to be like that. You don't have to like the guy but you have to support the team of which you claim to be a huge fan. This is the type of thing Cubs fans do. I hope he continues to dominate on the way to winning the division and a run in the playoffs if nothing else to shut you up about him. I am absolutely astonished with you feelings toward Colon. I thought you would be one to be able to put any personal feelings aside to support your entire team?

Your optimism is at an all time high for the year. What is the matter with you. You sound as though you are a Cub fan or something. You are a fan of a team that is 1 game out of first and hasn't reached its full potential yet. In the playoffs they will have as good a top 3 pitchers as anyone which gives then a chance. I know your hatred toward Colon but get over and pull for the guy. We need him to win.

I don't see KC as a tough team anymore. Scrappy yes but they can't touch our starting pitching and their starters have nothing on our hitters. The only guy we can't hit is McDougal.

JM is a drill rod. He is a complete ass in the dugout. Not only did he pull JG way too early but how about that f***ing lineup he threw out there on Sunday in Seattle. WTF was he thinking. You are trying to take a series and gain back some momentum and you start 4 guys in the same game that are not everyday players. The Sox have gone on this run and anything they do end up winning (if anything) was all and will all be despite JM. Not only does this team have to beat the other teams, they have a 2nd opponet every game, THEIR MANAGER!!!!!! It is like he doesn't want to win this thing. KC has 3 guys off the bench and that is it. Pena keeps leftys in against leftys and lets his team play. They have nowhere near the talent the Sox have yet we are on 8/5/03 and still chasing them. I have tickets to the game tonite but it is s*** like this that makes me not want to go. :fyou Manuel :fyou

:sosasucks :fthecubs :fyou Corky!!!!!!

As if there was any other choice. the next award I would like to see him win would be WS MVP!!!!!!

For those of us born and raised in the Chicsgo metro area we are often posed the quetion as would you rather the Sox win the World Series or the Bears (presented by Bank One) win the Super Bowl? It is a great ? and I have thought about it a lot. It is definately a tough call. On the one hand it is DA Bears. c'mon. DA Bears are Chicago and what greater to bring back the city than the Lombardi Trophy. But then I thought about it some more and was like Baseball is america's past time and it would be incredible to see the Sox take one. What a day that would be. But in thinking about it I think I have come up with the determining factor for anyone who has pondered this very question. You want the Sox to win the series. #1. It is Baseball. #2. It is all ours. We don't have to share it with those BASTARD Cub fans :fthecubs It is all ours to show off and brag about for a long time and at that point gone are the days of ever losing any sort of arguement to a cub fan. We don't have to share it with anyone but ourselves.

Seriously, let managemnt worry about next season. What the hell are all you thinking about it for. I am tired of all this what are we going to do next year bull s***. Talk about the upcoming games and how the Sox can win and stop b****ing and moaning about everything. I swear lately when I am in here I feel like I am back in high school or in a Cubs talk board. Talk good sound baseball and stop b****ing for thr sake of b****ing.

As of Saturday night I heard that there was only 2,200 tickets left for Tonight's game. Pretty much a seel-out.

We can call him Cy-Lo!!!! Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!

I am sick of them but thankfully we have a winner and don't have to waste time talking about them. I really haven't thought about them. with playing them in Aug. and Sept. we could knock them out of the playoffs as the wildcard will probably be whoever is 2nd in the west.

Reminds we too much of that skieser J-Ho. Whoops, J-LO.

we need to come up with a better nickname for E-Lo or Zesty Esty or what ever you call him. You could always go the Chris Berman route with something like: Estaban "Lo down dirty shame" Iza. It was a shot I guess. Don't rip my head off for mentioning Berman.
