Posted Thursday July 16, 2009, About: Bland All-Star anthem irks Morneau

A few years back Geddy Lee sang the Canadian anthem and, true to form, he rocked. I'm sure he'd love to do it every year.

I have no horse in this particular race but that made me laugh my a.r.s.e off.

did you even read the article? point out where exactly he was foul-mouthed, i must have missed it.

Posted Friday April 17, 2009, About: Blago letter offered Piniella advice

he's actually throwing out the first pitch at a sox game in that photo, never got to throw one out at wrigley.

As a White Sox fan this really saddens me....

"you actually found a picture of ozzie smiling?"

Those who actually follow the White Sox and not just what they read here will know that Ozzie is actually smiling about 95% of the time. That 95% doesn't sell papers, the other 5% does.

Posted Wednesday July 23, 2008, About: Is agent misleading Liriano?

I would have to agree, bad move on his agent's part. However, as a White Sox fan I hope he stays in Triple-A for a while longer, say 2010?...

but every time a Sox fan makes a post on a cubs thread we're accused of being obsessed with them...

Damn, those were some of the funniest responses I've read in a while, thanks guys.

Posted Thursday February 21, 2008, About: Cubs feud: Milo may toast Caray

At Wrigley fans would constantly buy beer for Harry and have it sent to the booth. By the 7th Inning, he could get a little tipsy.

Sorry eyes, fans buying Harry beer occurred at old Comiskey during the 70's when his broadcast booth was located in the outfield, not at Wrigley. The last row of seats was no more than 5' below his window, a fan standing on his seat could easily reach Harry. When they renovated Comiskey in the early 80's they moved the booth behind home plate, ending the tradition.

Posted Wednesday February 20, 2008, About: Guillen once hated Swisher

Wow, what a waste of bandwidth. A manager of one sporting team hating a player on an opposing team that repeatedly gets the best of his team? Unheard of.

I absolutely hated Tori Hunter with the fury of a thousand white-hot suns, as he consistently spanked the White Sox every time they played the Twins. Should I have rallied against the Sox attempting to sign him? Hell no.

Again, where's the story here?

Posted Wednesday February 13, 2008, About: White Sox done with Uribe?

...and the Sox will take the AL Wild Card!!

I can hope, can't I?

Posted Wednesday February 13, 2008, About: White Sox done with Uribe?

tgr4life, you usually have some fairly intelligent comments but as of late you're bordering on internet troll. We get it, you like the Tigers, good on ya. Now move along.

By the way, you spelled squad wrong in your original comment.

Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Fields clarifies retirement talk

A FACT is actually tgr4life, not a cubs fan. He's obviously envious of the Sox championship, seeing as his Tigers managed to get knocked out of their Series in five games.

Posted Friday December 21, 2007, About: Naming rights for Wrigley Field?

They already named it after a corporate sponsor in the 20's. When the ballpark was completed it was originally named Wheegam Park. The scrubs are the original corporate sellout...
