White Sux lose again. YES!!!

[Andy]

Escobar was on his game tonight. Locating his fastball in and out of the zone, his splitter was enough to keep the hitters guessing. Good game all around for the Halos.

I never used to believe in "fairweather fans". I now do.

 

Ignorant statement. I have always been a Angels fan. I even write in LAA fan forums.

 

Didn't you have an Oakland A's Barry Zito avatar before the John Lackey one?

 

Your right I did. The reason for that is because im a Zito fan.

I assumed it was because you wanted the Cubs to get Zito. Many on this board have done similarly.

LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!

[CubsBullsBears]

Since we have a gazillion threads on White enemies, I figured we ought to make one single thread to root against them. I'll start it off: GO YANKEES, RED SOX, TWINS, AND TIGERS!!

Don't we have enough of these already? #-o

There fans are rude, dumb, and obnoxious people who have this anti-Cubs agenda, that they root for the Twins and Tigers over the Cubs. They are not true fans. They pretend to like the White Sox b/c they hate the Cubs. And why is your SN misleading??

So you plan on countering that how? By opening countless threads on the subj?

[RationalSoxFan]

People should hate the Tigers because they bunt with Pudge.

[Flames24Rulz]

What if I hate the Red Saux, the Yankee$, the Twinkies, and the Tiggers?

I thought we did but apparently CubsBullsBears thinks differently.

That's a lot of hatred.

Nice games tonight for the Yanks, Red Sox, and Tiggers eh?

[gus_dog]

anyone listen to Homer Hawk tonight? endless complaining about a walk to Salmon in the seventh. the thing is, NONE of the pitches he was complaining about were anywhere near the strikezone. the next inning the Angels' pitcher did get one high strike, but that was two batters after the same pitcher was robbed on a 3-2 call to Alomar.

 

then the post game chat and news conference was all about bad ball strike calls.

 

leave it to the fans to complain about the umpires (and Sox fans do that aplenty, no matter where the pitch is). Ozzie did refuse to complain, the broadcasters and rest of the media should do the same. there was nothing outrageous about the strikezone tonight.

 

No big deal, IMO. Of course the home announcer is a homer. They're hired and paid by the club. Now, that doesn't mean the club has to hire announcers as bad as Hawk & DJ, and they are awful. They let Rooney get away, and he is good. In fact, he and Farmer were an excellent team. Singleton..., not so much.

 

BTW, I agree with whoever said that this thread reminds me of the White Sox fans that I can't stand - rooting against the Cubs at every available opportunity just because.

 

did you listen to or see it? I have no problem with announcers being homers, but if you are going to complain about ball/strike calls from the booth, the pitches really should be close.

 

I think Brenly and Len do a good job with this sort of thing. they're not afraid to call out the umps when they miss a call, but do it in an understated way, and will call it either way. they don't use the remaining two and half innings to complain that the ump cost them the game, when the ump had nothing to do with it.

 

what I couldn't stand is when Stone would refuse to acknowledge bad calls against the Cubs and take the attitude of 'that's what they deserve.'

 

No, I did not see/hear the comments you referred to, but I have seen/heard enough of Harrelson to understand what you're talking about. I agree with you also about Len and Bob. Pat Hughes also does a very good job of being a fan, but still making the call sans the blatent homerism. Really, Santo does OK at it too. Many times, Santo will start whining about a call, but then sees the replay and will admit he was wrong. Santo is not a very good announcer, but I like his chemistry with Hughes. Hughes carries him alot, IMO, and besides, he's a colour man.

 

Stone was an excellent colour guy/analyst. I think I am in the minority here, but he was not "run out of town" like so many say, IMO. Stone had this little chip on his shoulder about the Cubs that got bigger and bigger as time went on. He was VERY vindictive, and it showed in his commentary, making sarcastic biting remarks mixed in with his call. It's not surprising that the players resented him, and by extension, Baker. Stone got more and more vindictive as his last season wore on, and IMO, had pretty much decided himself long before the season was over that he was not coming back. Those two sides (the Cubs and Stone) grew apart, and it was time to move on. IMO, there was blame on both sides of that conflict.

 

Bottom line: most announcers are homers, because that's what they're paid to be. I don't mind it, and I think fans need to realize that these guys are not paid to be impartial. Impartiality is what umps are for (even though they are not, but that's another discussion). However, when homerism is so slanted that it obscures the truth of the play, then you have Hawk Harrelson.

I have always kind of liked the Tigers, but I never could stand Smudge.

Why do you hate them?

 

I could tell you why he hates the White Sox. He had some anti-White Sox blog last year. He used to post there under a different name, but he says all the same things. One reason was that there was some Sox fan at his high school (New Trier) that he hated and the other was that he used to post on southsiders.net, which is a small-time White Sox message board. I guess they banned him and it was the mortal wound of his life because after that he went on a real rampage, trolling all the Sox message boards, kicking his blog into overtime, trolling non-White Sox boards with anti-White Sox messages, encouraging people to spam and troll the southsiders.net board, etc. He'd report his anti-White Sox activities on his anti-Sox blog (which is gone now). A lot of it was funny to read, particularly his defense of his activities (White Sox fans are bad because they hate the Cubs obsessively, so he hates the White Sox obsessively)and his theory that MLB is conspiring to keep the Cubs from ever winning the World Series.

For which one? Tad for knowing/coming up with all of this or, if it's true, CubsBullsBears for doing all this? And based on his posts, I wouldn't put this sort of activity past CBB.

This thread contains an encounter I had with the person I am talking about. If that person is not the same person who now posts as CubsBullsBears then I apologize for my mistake. Recalling that conversation as well as some of the things said here as well as what I remember from that blog (for example, calling Carlos Lee "El Horso" or claiming that Mark Buerhle tried to murder Travis Hafner), I simply put 2 and 2 together.
