Gearing up for October

The Sox are gunna beat Cleveland, boy. Just you wait and see, there is hope for Chi.

**Samurai Waki** · 09-21-2005, 23:24

C'mon White Sox!

I've never seen a team implode quite as embarassingly as what's been happening with the ChiSox over the last few weeks. Hopefully they'll get it going against the lowly Tigers in the next few days for you guys.

I just left work early to watch game one of Boston's double header today. Am I a sick person? Well worth it, btw. Back to a tie with the MFY's.

Hopefully the O's won't lay down like the worthless dogs they are for the Yankees again like they always do. Anyway, pretty exciting week ahead.

GO YANKEES!!! WE WON BEFORE WE WIN AGAIN.

red socks suck big time

and don't start that whole "we beat you last year" thing cause guess what we beat you the year before that and the year before that and the year before thatand the year before that

Beating you last year is merely half the story.

Having you suffer the greatest choke in the history of recorded sports is the part I like rewatching over and over and over and over....

choke choke choke choke choke choke

Prole, I trust you, I nbelieve in you so I ask you this:

baseball, what's the appeal of watching it???

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying that I don't get it.

You heathen! All kidding aside, what is attraction of cricket or football or rugby for that matter?

Prole, I think I'm going to go home and sacrifice a chicken tonight (for our relief pitching staff). Who would have thought back in May that Foulke going out would be a good thing? God, I just hope El Pappy and Manny can keep swatting it like they have been.

I have a .mpeg of the A-rod karate chop. When times are rough and I just can't seem to enjoy life,I fire it up. Makes me warm and fuzzy all over, every time...

As I told the Yankee fan that I go to the gym with... us lettng the Yankees back in this September was to give them a taste of how it feels to have a division snatched out from under you in the final week. Can't wait to get you bozos in our house in Beantown, MOP.

It's hard to explain, but I love watching pitch counts, looking at statistical splits, the strategies for substitutions, etc. I also love the historical aspects (comparing modern day guys to Babe Ruth, etc).

It just seems alot more cerebral over all than the NFL or soccer...

I'll never try to convince someone how interesting it can be, I remember how boring it used to be for me. But one day the stats started making sense and I was hooked.

Have you got a chance to watch Paplebon or Hansen pitch? I love watching these guys my age and younger pitching 95 mph in relief. Hopefully they'll carry us through.

Huge games tonight for both the Yankees and Sox... This is that time of year when I can feel my hair greying with each twist and turn of the standings between these two teams.
