The 2005 Chicago White Sox will........

[buzzsaw]

Yo Commanche Jimbillybob, the bottom of the ninth against San Diego was fun to watch eh?!

I think it went like this... BUNK Hermanson delivers to R. Hernadez.... tater, yard, hooooooooome Run!!! you can put it on the board yessss!

Then the D. Jackson single to score Sean Burroughs!! Game, set, match!!

oh and Nathan just struck out the last two to end the game!!

Who's your daddy!?

[Commanche Jim]

Fishguy.......remember when, uh, in 93, and uh, in 94, uh, when the Sox were awesome, and, uh, in the 90's, uh the Sox had the best record in the 90's, uh, other than the Braves, and uh.......

Keep living in the past.

This is 2005, and we have reason to be excited. What happened last year, or for the past 3 years, is history. If the Twins had won the world series, or a pennant for that matter, then your smack talk would have some meaning.

And here's a tidbit, buzzkill.........the sox have played one more game than the twins. Unless they pitch a shutout, sox will have a better era.

Sox have more stolen bases.......ha ha.

Sox have more strike outs per nine innings......ha ha

Sox have a lower batting average against.......ha ha.

the list goes on and on.

At the end of the day, what counts are W's. And as of today, we lead that most important category.

Another thing. The Sox have played 30 games against teams that are above .500. 19-11

Twins have played 22 games against teams that are above .500. 10-12

If we only had it so lucky to be playing teams like Colorado all the time like the twins.

[Commanche Jim]

Buzzkill,

Game....yes.

Set.....not yet, there's one more game to complete the set. Remember, we one the first game. Don't jump ahead of yourself, now.

Match, not yet either. There's one more game to complete the match. You're tennis terms are used rather loosely. Maybe I can recommend a rules of tennis book to you.

[knoppers]

4 1/2 GB we are getting closer for the kill. the twins were behind last year at this time also, we wait till after the all star break to kick it in to high gear.

[buzzsaw]

ohhhh Commanche Jimbillybob, You do the Hee Sop choi thing in the game the earlier night to us, I do it back and it's boo hoo hoo... I can't take it! I'm from Illinois and all we can do is dish it out!!

Dude your white sux team has had the talent too win the division for about 5 years in a row now. Twins fans have every right in the world too throw some smack out just on that. The fact that the twins groomed a bunch of prospects into 3 straight division crowns over those underachieving sux makes it just that much more. Not winning a World Series doesnt diminish how your sux have underachieved and its been the twins thats beat them out 3 years in a row. Thats what smack and bragging rights are about. We've seen this scenario in the past couple years, we arent dumb. The sux have been in this position before. We listened too sux fans last year talking at the break when they have a 5 1/2 game lead. Look where it all ended up, how many games back? It wasnt even close. If i were a sux fan i would hesitate too talk a whole lot until the final game has ended. Its like this year when the vikes start 6-1 again, i'll be excited no doubt, but too pencil them into the superbowl after how the last couple years have gone? No! Thats common sense dude. Seems you dont have much of that too reason with.

Here, I had a weak moment Windy and Commanche, I'll give your team props for having the best or second best (whatever it is) record in baseball up to this point. But two things to consider, do you think your team will continue to be that consistantly good? and if so, why? plus the Twins have the third best record in baseball and were on your heels... you've gotta give some.... lets drop the smack talk one day a week and point out the positives about each others team... you first I'm not even sure the other Twins fans would partake in this let alone you... but maybe it will bring a little more civility to these baseball threads.... even though the smack talk is fun and should in no way ever stop! What do you think about calling Sunday a day of peace.. there, I went and thought outside of the box.

I'll say this... Garland, Konerko, Hermanson, Contrerass, El [PoorWordUsage]y, and a few other guys on your team are having career years and it seems Guillen is a decent manager/motivator...

Onto another subject, we both know without winning division titles or a wildcard position you have no chance to even get to the World Series... so you cannot in any way say that winning the division means nothing when in fact we all know it is an accomplishment to be proud of and a neccesity to get the chance to win it all! arghhhhhh, my moment of weekness is over.... must end pooooost beeefore I start spitting vennnnnnom again.

Hey Buzz,

If you think that Saturday's finish was exciting, you must have been beside yourself on Friday when the ole Cubbie Hee Sopp Choi took your beloved out of the game with THE WALK OFF HOMER to defeat the Twinks. Now that was an exciting finish to a great game, another Twink loss.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD...YES!

Well I was with ya for a little while anyway.

I believe Ozzie is by far the worst manager in Baseball.

The guy trys to give away games but the Sox won't let him he's TERRIBLE.

To go along with the worst announcers in Baseball did anyone catch the end of the game those two little homer babys were speechless when the Sox blew it, I thought they were going to cry.

[james_walleye]

No one worse than the combo of Stinky and Duck announcing. Although i think now its just Duck right?

[Commanche Jim]

I will agree.......Hawk and DJ could be the worst in history. We do, on the other hand, have 2 of the best radio announcers in John Rooney and Ed Farmer. Turn down the TV and turn up ESPN 1000. I will be shocked if someone disagrees with this.

Although........no I wouldn't be shocked.

Come on Commanche,

Don't go bailing on the ole Hawkeroo. The guy is a classic. I see him from time to time at Jack Gibbons having a few cola's and watching him hold court at the bar while I devour a 30 oz king cut bone in prime rib. As for baseball in the toddlin' town tonight it was the curse of the former Cubbies. Hee Seop took care of the Twinks this past weekend but Dontrelle dealt the Cubbies and boy did Estes deal our beloved. Oh well, only counts as one game and the Twinks are still 5 games behind. I am doing well with my prediction that they will be down by 9 games by the end of June. Maybe the Pads can finish them off.

How is the bar coming? Can't wait to tip a few. May even get the Hawkaroo to come in and christen the place. Later, Windy. And as usual...

YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD...YES!

[Willy]

I'll give you guys credit that your team is doing well, but Hawk is the biggest moron in all of baseball. I've never listened to a guy that was a bigger homer in my life. He's classic alright. A classic moron!

[buzzsaw]

You guys got blasted by a "mediocre" Arizona team tonight like 10-4... how could that happen when you have such a great pitching staff???

[SledNeck]

Are they "Getting out the Brooms"?

[buzzsaw]

I heard the Arizona fans in Chicago this week have cleaned out the local Wal-marts/Home Depots and Sears stores of their broom supply!! Must be something happening in the Windy city????
