    It's a shame that all can't fit on a sig line. Unless I'm much mistaken, someone already has tried that as a sig. :lol:

    PSU will obliterate Purdue who has proven to be the biggest disappointment of this season. They were getting top-10 (even championship) buzz before the season but they haven't looked the same since they couldn't finish the job at the Metrodome against the Gophers. I'm not worried about the Wildcats against Michigan. The Wolverines have needed Lloyd Carr's personal timekeeper and overtime to escape with wins the last couple weeks. NU has shown the ability to step up in a big game by decimating the Spartans last week. Just hope they haven't peaked too early. UT needs to beat the Gamecocks. Notre Dame's once-intimidating schedule is looking like a joke right now with UM the only opponent the Irish have beaten with a winning record, UT at 3-3 and no one left on the schedule besides the Vols that looks even remotely able to stop the Irish. This will be a boring weekend for me. I hate when ND doesn't play.

    I would say no and not even think about it. I have no interest in picking up someone who took a crap the minute he got his first big contract.

    AJP was not a good signing. He's a clubhouse cancer (it takes a lot to be a bigger jerk than Barry in SF and AJ pulled it off), and if he wasn't buddies with Hawk Harrelson he would never have been sniffing a Sox uniform anyway. Iguchi I can give Williams credit for, he was pretty good for them, although it's worth noting that he struck out 114 times this season and was nothing special in the field (14 errors). The fact remains, though, that he unloaded a 35-home run hitter for a mediocre leadoff hitter in Podsednik (.313 OBP in 2004) and then plugged in Dye to fill the outfield spot, who hadn't had a good season this millennium and somehow ripped off a .274/31/86 for them. Calling Williams a "clown" is probably overstating the case, but his moves this off-season really weren't that good. He was made to look smart because all those moves came through in spades with Dye having his best year since 2000 and Podsednik having the best of his three seasons in the majors. This Sox team really had marginally better talent than the 2004 version but had the advantage of about 10 players having their best years ever.

    Pray for anyone brave enough to wear Cubs stuff tonight. Seriously. Have I mentioned how pissed off I am that the Sox are going to be the team that brings a title to Chicago? :(

    Cubs fans will stay home and recuperate with fellow Cubs fans while looking disgustedly at the celebration.

    A Sox fan's away message: "Let's See Got Jipped On A Home Run Call Allowed 11 Walks From The Bullpen Had To Pitch Marte Down 4-0 To Oswalt Is That A Formula To Win A World Series Game UMM NOOO But We Did It *edited* NO EXCUSES BOUT THAT ONE We PROVED We Are The Best Team In Baseball WAY TO GO GEOFF BLUM 1 WIN AWAY BABY Btw 10-1 In The Postseason Ur Right Everyone We Choked WE AINT THE YANKEES BABY 1 MORE WIN GO SOX GO!!!!!!!!" My favorite part is that the Sox fans can't admit that they are the luckiest team in baseball history. And he conveniently ignores the fact that the umps have gifted them two playoff games already. sigh...

    You could say it every post for the rest of our time here and it wouldn't be enough. *points to sig* Now we'll be the only ones. And unless we pull a Kenny Williams and trade Aramis Ramirez straight up for Luis Castillo and plug Matt Stairs in at third base or something like that, it's going to be like this for a while.
  9. Andy
    At least the White Sox trash won't get to celebrate their WS at home. We Cubs fans deserve more than to grasp at straws like that.
  10. Andy
    heh Ok, third pitch and pop up. But I was pretty close. :wink: Have I said I REALLY hate the Sox?
  11. Andy
    Right to Uribe. Who said it? sigh.
  12. Andy
    Seconded.
  13. Andy
    I don't believe for a second that the Sox will lose this one. This isn't the Cubs' luck, remember. Everett will swing at the first pitch and ground it straight at Uribe to end it.
  14. Andy
    Dusty will play this angle for when Macias is our starter at short next year: "Hey it's not Ensberg."

    Nice to see the Stros working Marte. I've never seen such a bad pitcher being made out to look so good by an offense (other than the Cubs).
  16. Andy
    Wandy has to start game 5 of the 2006 NLDS.
  17. Andy
    If they'd ever started to melt down the umps would probably have stepped in anyway. This is sad to watch.

    Jocketty is a great GM. Kenny Williams is just the most butt lucky individual alive. Trading a 35-homer guy (Lee) for a mediocre leadoff hitter (Pods) and then replacing that 35-homer guy with a guy who hasn't had a good year since 2000 (Dye) should never work. But it did. Oh yeah and bases are loaded just to rub it in.

    Figures. The Sox are catching breaks with these stupid little dink hits even after the game is clinched. Where can I buy this kind of good fortune?
  21. Andy
    I hope you're being sarcastic.
  22. Andy
    I've been saying that since mid-April.
  23. Andy
    Well it's good to know I could get from Baltimore to Iceland in the time of this game. Meanwhile, Geoff Blum may have just killed me.
  24. Andy
    YES!!!! What a play by Ensberglar!
  25. Andy
    Because he's ugly as sin? Is it safe to say you don't have a man crush on him? It's safe to say the Sox win if Konerko doesn't get out.
