Steff Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I usually stay out of this, but you know, stop, just stop, okay? Am I drinking the kool-aid? No. I'm cheering and watching my team play a sport that always brings me joy. Do I want them to choke and lose at the end of the season? No. But I'm going to root for them and believe that they can make the playoffs and that something good will happen until they are mathmatically eliminated or lose a playoff series. It's not about kool-aid or being blind, it's about honestly loving this team and this game and not throwing in the towel when things go badly. And for the record, if you get this upset about something that happens on a website with people you don't know, you might have a problem. Oh, and I'm well aware that I'm a b****, so you don't need to tell me. POTM Material right there Soxy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) Oh how I hate qwerty. Just don't respond to my posts when I get back if I do and I'll do the same to you. You seem to be the only one that truly hates me. Others may not like me but you have taken it to another level. You have just got to stop making up s*** and you would not sound so stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm not going to lock this, but I am going to say let's just stop the sniping back and forth. It's a baseball GAME. Last time I checked, the Sox are still in the playoffs. And guess what? If they don't make it, the world will go on. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I've yet to feel the low that I felt in 1983 watching Landrum's home run clear the fence. I've got a ways to go yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm still in...which means that every loss from here on out is going to hurt more than the one before it. So we need some damn wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised if Ozzie closed the clubhouse door today and had a little chat with the team. All through spring training we heard "we are family." Time to pick each other up, pull together and win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Why even identify yourself as a White Sox fan if you're not still in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in New York no one cares about those "flyover teams" and I can grieve without being mocked constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) Why even identify yourself as a White Sox fan if you're not still in? I honestly think it makes people think that it will hurt less if they don't make the playoffs. I've seen an awful lot of textbook defense mechansims being stated by posters on this site lately. It's a sad situation where I'm considered more optimistic than most posters on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
