Kalapse Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) What was the context of the plug? Did a caller mention our site or one of the panelists? Mike Bloomberg talking about sPods getting voted into the AS Game: "Hawk Harrelson gave credit during the broadcast to Soxtalk.com appaerantly they had phone lines up and their internet just going all over the place and they were voting non-stop" I didn't say it made a whole hell of a lot of sense.

Nokona Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well duh, i know i called in all my votes. Everyone got the well deserved pat on the back that was necessary. Soxtalk - 1. WSI - 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I've been thinking but it will also bring people here who didn't know that Soxtalk existed that might actually know a thing or two about Baseball.

longshot7 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Way to go, guys!! Since getting booted from the other site, I have come to enjoy Soxtalk a lot. Have they ever had an on-air mention? and I was on pins and needles for Scotty - it had to have been a landslide. He deserves to be there and we came through for him! Go us!!

Exactly, the bad ones will be weeded out quickly but I'm sure we'll get plenty of good posters and readers from the shoutout that will help make the board even better and more knowledgeable.

This was definately a 1st for being on a game. I know SoxNet got a few mentions and Soxtalk has had some on the radio (mainly from call-ins) but thats about it.

Definately owe a big thanks to Kalapse for capturing that file and transfering it to MP3 format. Like I said, you all deserve tons of credit. I really believe without you guys who voted their asses off, we'd all be b****ing about another Yankee on the All-Star team. All the credit goes to you guys.

Have they ever had an on-air mention? Wills used to mention WSI a lot during the postgame shows. WSI also gets mentioned in the newspapers quite a bit. Nice to see Soxtalk get a shout from the Hawkaroo and Feisty! I am surprised by this, though....I didn't think Mike ever stopped posting here long enough to compose an email.....
