First you insult the sacred carfection that is known as Aston Martin. Then, you insult the Cubs. And now, my Blackhawks.
Man, if I were not stuck in Vancouver doing this goddarned ERP project, I'd kick you so hard, you won't land until next week.

If Jocketty and Castellini weren't really good friends Krivsky would still be in there. This was more of a personal preference thing, not a performance thing (although they made it seem that way).
Things are starting to turn around after all those years of futility. It takes time to clean up a mess like Krivsky walked in to. I think he was doing good...kind of mad that he's out. He'll be a good GM someday to whoever gives him a chance.
However, it's very nice that we finally have ownership that cares about winning

didn't matter tonight.. my Sox's came through in the bottom of the 9th for the walk off. Glad to see a win in person too, its been a while but worth the 2 1/2 hr trip.

If Zito was even half as good as he was in Oaktown.. SF would have the best pitching staff in baseball... Lincecum and Cain are lights out.

Well, let's see how it goes...it's a long season and sadly, the ChiSox don't play the Tigers for another while.

I usually don't get harassed inside the cell because "MINNESOTA" is such a long word and hard for Sox fans to read.
The fans on my gf's side of the family are mostly White Sox and Bears fans, but we're trying to get them in rehab.

you SHOULD be talking to those cubs fans about checking in.
as a ChiSox fan, I can in fact spell and read the word Minnesota without a problem and also hold no hard feelings against the Twinks (when we aren't playing them)... hell I even rooted for the Tigers in the 06 WS.
I just can't fucking stand CLEVELAND!
(and the Yankees of course)
