damn, I wish i didn't have to work, then maybe my life goal of getting a picture with joe could be accomplished

i picked it up last week, about halfway through it. It's not a bad read, he jumps back and forth, a chapter about a sox team from the past, and then one about the 05 team. there's a little too much about the cubs in it for my liking, but it's a real good casual read.

not a big soccer fan, but caught the overtimes of the italy-germany game, some awesome stuff right there. GO ITALY

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) generalizing about all cubs fans is almost as bad as generalizing about all sox fans... beat me to it. i bet you guys didn't like it when there was an exact same thread at some cubs board about the ligue situation, now did you? Stop being hypocrites.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) you're due for a stretch of bad games. except the white sox, they're not allowed to lose one game, remember?

THE PIRATES ARE THE WORST TEAM EVER, HOW COULD THEY LOSE A GAME TO THE PIRATES!!!!!!!!!##@:l$j$q@#:lkj#%@:lkj /end soxtalk gamethread language.

hear that sound? that's the cubs back being broken.

we made all cubs fans collectively jump off a building, oh man

this may have been the most entertaining game i've seen in a long time. holy s***

:sleep

ho-beast,

'click' turned out to be one depressing movie

just in case you missed it, apparently the white sox are awful now :rolly

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) You as well? The beat goes on. This is disappointing. I wouldn't have expected this sort of talk from you Steve, or Rock, or SS and even Tony. JimH, TQ, check your PMs. "beat the teams you're supposed to beat" ....we won the series, that's what baseball is about. You're not going to win every game. When you're winning games at above a .600 clip, I'm finding it really hard to freak out about one loss, I don't care if it is against the pirates. We swept the cardinals just last week, one of the best teams in the NL, while that's not saying much, this team is definitely beating the teams it's supposed to beat and then beating up on decent and good teams as well. What you're talking about is what happened in '03, when not only were we not winning series against bad teams, we were being swept by them.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) I am sure that Detroit will have the same problems and the same tight games with the Pirates. We had our top 3 going in this series against the worst team in the NL Central. The royals are better than the Pirates. We won the first 2 games and our best pitcher was on the mound for game 3. The fact that we didnt sweep this is sad. jesus christ, we just swept the cardinals too. Losing one game to the pirates is not the end of our season. That's it, I will not show my face in another gamethread, ever. Have fun complaining about the second best team in baseball.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) It's not the losing it is that we are not taking the opportunities to win. We play in the best division in baseball at some point we can not be giving games away. A loss today and we can be 4 1/2 out by Monday. Not the end of the world but not a pleasant thought. we've won what? 13 out of our last 15 games? and we're still b****ing, can you say SPOILED? I can handle a loss like today, the pirates have just been blooping us to death, it happens. I wouldn't say jose had an awful game.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:10 PM) Doesnt mean I like it. Apparently we arent supposed to lose a game ever. It will happen. Our pitcher wasnt on today, and the Pirates are so overdue for a win its ridiculous. oh, don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you. But this is the way gamethreads have been forever, unfortunately. I try and avoid em as best as possible, something I'm obviously not doing a good job of today.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) What? You wont be a fan anymore? The season is over? This team sucks? What? c'mon rock, you should be used to this kinda crap that goes on in the gamethreads.

mr. sanchez is crazy good
