StrangeSox Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm supposed to go to the game tomorrow night, but apparently the weather doesn't want me to see a good Sox game this year. My first game was postponed due to rain against Baltimore, my second was a near-2 hour rain delay again Minnesota (and then Buerhle got hit around a bunch), and now its supposed to storm tomorrow night.

Eh, for Friday night's game, they are saying "scattered" thunderstorms. Typical summer night type weather, it will be hit and miss. Even if it does storm, it won't last long, probably. I'l be going to that game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we appear to be firmly entrenched in Chicago summer now, hot and humid and hazy. The weather almost becomes irrelevant at this point (it was supposed to POUR Tuesday and Wednesday and both games were played without delay or incident), just realize it's going to be warm and it might rain at some point, but it'll probably clear up eventually. Not going to see much more "rain out" type rain this season. Edited June 6, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) I saw some idiot throw a home run back the other night. The good news is a lot of people told the ushers of this nonsense, and he was thrown out. DO YOUR PART!! If you see some assclown throw a home run by the other team back, find an usher and identify the assclown. We don't want losers who throw home run balls back instead of giving it to a kid. The Cell isn't Wrigley, so don't throw s*** on field, especially baseballs. Edited June 7, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually be a good marketing ploy...advertise how Sox fans can separate themselves from Cubs fans by letting the game continue to play and helping out a little kid too.

daa84 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) 3 reasons to be extremely optimistic about the offense BABIPs Thome: .238 Konekro: .219 Swisher: .243 they should get better for sure also, all have a great BB rate...thome and swisher always do, but konerko is on pace for the best in his career Edited June 7, 2008 by daa84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) could someone explain exactly what BABIP is? Pretty sure its batting average of balls hit in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this process of the offense reverting to what it really should be has started here this week, because we've looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There is a season ticket holder that it always on TV when there is a left handed hitter at the plate.He looks just like ,Matt Roloff,of Little People Big World tv show.But the regular size version.

justBLAZE Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 So I'm suppose to go the game tomorrow, weird thing Sox website still has Contreras pitching? I'm pretty sure it's Danks?

I've been to a few ballparks. The Cell's food is better than most, in my experience. To say that its all bad at the Cell is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 For starters, both Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field serve Best Kosher hot dogs, vastly inferior to the meatier Vienna Beef brand that the city’s best hot dog vendors serve. But even worse was the Mexican-style corn sold at a pastel yellow stand decorated with a manic-looking anthropomorphized corncob at U.S. Cellular. The corn, scraped from the cob, was mushy, overcooked and seasoned with a mixture of chili, mayonnaise and imitation lime juice that made the dish taste like furniture polish. Goes to Chicago and orders corn. OK. And doesn't like Best Kosher? First, I think Best Kosher is better, second, can't you get Vienna at the Cell?

southsideirish71 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Can anyone verify this. Up until recently, Quentin was setup right on home plate. About a week or so ago they moved him back a bit from the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
