Oh. That's it.

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.

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

Frank got picked up so fast it makes me wonder why nobody is willing to take a shot on Barroid. (no pun intended )

I'm sure he can still hit and draw a ton of walks...could it be collusion?

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.

Glad you're a ChiSox fan Badger. For the longest time, thought you were a Cubs fan.

That game was full of tense moments! Grrr.... I wished Millar didn't hit the first ball that came his way! Our bases were loaded and we needed a base hit. Oh well...

^Hell yeah. And the Wes Helms pickup looks better and better. I missed that guy last year. And Olson is turning into a legit ace.

126 Mil to be a reliever...

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.

Happy he isn't still with Oakland. He started to fade his last year with them. I'm laughing right now.

The Twins are the ones that broke the Kitties out of their slump this year. I'll be swinging by the Dome on Sunday to watch them get their revenge.

Meanwhile in today's action...... :broom:

you should be ashamed to be living in Illinois and rooting for the Twinkies, even though you probably used to live in MN.

i wonder if you wear your twins stuff and get booed or harassed by White Sox or Cubs fans when you drive around the Chicagoland area.

is your wife and friends cubs or white sox fans?

I grew up in Minnesota. The shameful thing to do would be to switch teams just because I live closer to Chicago.

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.

Rehab not needed... at least if you win a championship every 99 years or so.

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)
