  1. I've met several ballplayers at Harry Caray's over the years. Sandberg was extremely friendly - we made some anti-Sox small talk at the time, I'm sure his latest column on the subject was ghost written or something.
  2. I won't die. I want to be there the day Ozzie is drummed out of the game. I want to laugh as I watch him haul his derelict, drunken self from street corner to street corner, dreaming of the days when he had more money than he knew what to do with, before the Venezuelan microbrewery fiasco, before the endless stream of American blondes and barbiturates, before the Dominican gypsies took everything he had hooked and crooked so long to acquire.
  3. I agree.
  4. I hate Houston, but there are no words capable of describing the revulsion with which I regard the South Side fraud. I'M WEARING A HOUSTON CAP THIS WEEK
  5. Is there really anything to debate? A Sox win would constitute a tragedy for the human race. I can live with any NL Central team winning it all, but I'd rather see the Cards pull it off. Houston just strikes me as a wannabe baseball town.
  6. No, but the many Astros fans just disappear when they aren't doing well. That really irks me. Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiimy
  7. Better for you to see it than some lame Sox fan.
  8. Been a long time since I've enjoyed a baseball game. That was a blast to watch.
  9. I saw a lot of "Bartman night" in the eyes of those fans. They are a tortured people.
  10. Funny, all I could think of as Pujols stepped to the plate was that Nike commercial in which he wears the monster mask and stomps around like a madman. It's fitting given the carnage in Houston.
  11. [standardanswer]To hell with them.[/standardanswer]
  12. Seriously, outside of Tampa Bay, Florida and Kansas City, has there been a more apathetic fan base than the Sox' in recent years?
  13. agreed I like this responce. Me too.
  14. At the Saturday Cubs/Sox game at Wrigley, a guy sitting next to me said the exact same thing. I doubt a Sox title would do anything to change that. If the Cubs ever win, though, that's going to be some kind of party. People's lives would be changed forever, changed in ways nothing else - even another Super Bowl - could deliver. Hmm ... "that's going to be" ... I must be feeling better.
  15. As opposed to all the success and great fortune the Cubs had pre-2003? We've talked about this before. The misery has been more intense and more public over the last three years.
  16. yes He's finally living his childhood dreams that were forged as a young, penniless baseball fan on the streets of New York. It's totally disgusting.
  17. I liked you better when I thought you were a straight-up Cards guy.
  18. We already have one of these damned things in Baseball Discussions.
  19. We're capping year three in what has been a hellish trilogy for Cub fans. Hope for anything good in the world of sports is dead.
  20. To hell with them.
  21. I'll load up on apparel from either Houston or the Cards, depending on who advances - if I change my mind and watch the Series. I can't express how distasteful the whole October experience has become because of Guillen and the White Sox. The game of baseball is stained more and more with every sunrise so long as they're still around.
  22. I don't recall ever hearing Cubs officials reference the other team's failure as a means of soothing fans' frustration.
  23. Every positive for the Sox is a negative for the Cubs. If those bastards win, we'll feel it in every aspect of the organization. It's not just about the fans.
