White Sox workin on a sweep, woo!

Being a White Sox fan in this city is insufferable. Eat it, Cubbies.

(Yes, I hate the Cubs more than the Sox competition)

...someone asked for a thread to discuss this exhibition in sublimated buggery, so here it is.

Homofag.

Ace,

LOL.

Baseball is beautiful, yes.

But faggy?

LOL.

This, from a guy who played Dungeons & Dragons?

Puhleeze.

And yes, White Sox Baseball.

My Beloved.

I used to be a season ticket holder.

But hey, if not The Beloved, there's always the Yankees.

Life.is.Good.

There's nothing to discuss

GO NATS!

next year...

Don't jinx the White Sox!
Those pesky Red Sox have an uncanny knack of late comebacks.

Here's a little tidbit for you:
On a popular Sports-Talk-Radio show, the combined efforts of David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are referred to as "Manny Ortez."

Ortiz and Ramirez hit 3 and 4 in the line-up and are the biggest offensive threat in the league because you can't pitch around them. So why are they called "Manny Ortez?"

Because John Kerry, while demonstrating his Red Sox Baseball prowess at a campaign stop last summer, rattled off some names of players. Senator Windsurfer proudly congratulated the efforts of Manny Ortez.

Of course the MSM didn't crucify Kerry for being ignorant and insensitive to Latinos like they would if Chimpy did something similar.

Didn't Updike write something about all sports being basically about sticks and/or balls and putting something in a hole?

It's all gay. Now excuse me. I'm going rowing.
My coxswain and friends with broad shoulders are waiting.

What isn't a phallic symbol?

Our pitcher really didn't need to collapse like that.

They really should've pulled him earlier.

Urph.

El Du-kay can do this.

Baseball is played on a diamond.
Football is played on a GRIDIRON.

Baseball has a seventh inning stretch.
Football has a TWO MINUTE WARNING.

Baseball has ups. "You're up."
Football has DOWNS.

Baseball is played in a park.
Football is played on a field.

In baseball you go home.
In football you go to THE END ZONE.

In baseball you get tagged.
In football you get TACKLED.

Baseball is for people like Compos and Monty.
Football is for MEN.

astros got the world series down fools

What isn't a phallic symbol?

Well, off the top of my head, there's, you know, pussy. Fairly non-phallic, that.

El Duque!

El Duque!

El Duque!

Wow.

Really.

*BREATHES A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF*

I should've trusted ya, Bart. Would've saved the stress of that inning =)

A vagina is an inside-out penis.

Yes! Out of the Jam!
F-you Johnny Damon, you cro-magnon bearded long haired galoot.

Don't worry, Robbie, the kid on the mound is due for a rude awakening. His name is Papelbon. I call him Pimplebottom.

Wow.

Still.

Damon went.

Wow.

GO ANGELS!!!

Come on guys,

you can root for the Astros, the White Sox, the Braves, the Angels, the Red Sox, hell even the Padres, but it doesn't matter.

We all know who the eventual champion is going to be...

The New York YANKEES!!!!

27 time champion (after this year) -
Big Unit starting tonight.

Let the flaming begin.

Pardon me while I just say that baseball is the Dumbest Sport Ever.

But I sword fight, so I'm sure you'll all put that statement into perspective.

Later,
bbeck

The Big Unit, Rob?

Now THAT'S phallic, you h-mo.

Forget it, NJRob, the Yankees are cursed. They've come close, but they haven't won the World Series since a certain Yankee "fan" from Chicago/Little Rock took up residence in NY.

bbeak, by "sword fighting" do you mean fencing? Or do you mean man-on-man nekkid recreation?

And if it's the man-on-man nekkid recreation kind, do they show it on late night ESPN?

bbeak, by "sword fighting" do you mean fencing? Or do you mean man-on-man nekkid recreation?

My my, if those are the choices, I'd settle for either.

Later,
bbeck

NJRob,

Yankees, yes.

But still.

We all have our Beloved.

This may be the year.

...

Six outs to go.

...

Just sayin'.

bbeck,

?

...

You can't mean that.

Well, you could mean that.

You'd be nuts.

But still.

Just sayin'.

MeToo, can't mean what, that I hate baseball or that I want to see nekkid men wrestling? Because both are true, TRUST me.

You could not pay me to watch a baseball game...and my husband really hates it, too. The only team sport either of us will watch is football.

Later,
bbeck

bbeck,

LOL.

Yes, I believe you.

No, I don't trust you.

LOL.

As for your husband...

Well, marital bliss is important.

But still.

The Dumbest game?

Oh well.

You could pay me to watch football, but I won't do it for free.

All the homophobic and phallic comments on here are pretty damn funny. Anyone think of ripping them off and going to open mike night? Guess not. Must not be that funny after all.

Back to the important stuff,

I'm enjoying watching the Red Sox twist in the wind after Damon talked about how they were grateful to end up playing against the White Sox. Couldn't happen to a nicer team. But then again as Yogi said, "it ain't over till it's over."

Since I mentioned a Yankee, it's back to talking about the Yanks. Tonight, if played, is going to be a hell of a game and one that I've looked forward to all year. This is what Big Unit (I'm not afraid of being called a homo, sorry) was brought in for, to win. It'll be interesting to see if the Angels can keep battling with Johnson and frustrate him the first couple of times they foul off 2 strike pitches. Either way, I look forward to these playoffs and it beats watching football this year...

3 outs to go for all you White Sox fans.

No, I don't trust you.

Wise choice. :)

And speaking of Hubby, he's working late which is why I've been all over these Comments threads. But now he's coming home so I'm off...

Later,
bbeck

They are, literally, throwing away the game.

As a Kansas City resident, I'm not allowed to comment on baseball.

Fuckin' Royals.

How can anyone not like baseball?
(Anyone besides Osama bin Laden and Hitler, that is.)

It's the bottom of the 9th! A lot of pressure. It is so intense you can feel it while sitting on your living room couch.

Don't be a Hitler. Watch the game.

bye bye Bawsox.

Swept away.

Time to watch some Yankees!

HA! Later fuckers. Hope you savored the flavor from last year, Massholes- Ain't gonna taste it again for a long time.

Espn is showing little kids crying at Fenway.
I'm laughing.
Does that make me a bad person?

BBeck, the ultimate woman.

Hey, BBeck, ever hear of a band called Hawkwind? Ever hear of an album called Warrior On the Edge Of Time? (No Googling.)

Why Is Baseball So Much Better Than Football?

1 Bands.
2 Half time with bands.
3 Cheerleaders at half time with bands.
4 Up With People singing "The Impossible Dream" during a Blue Angels flyover at half time with bands.

...

19 Pro football players have breasts. Many NFLers are so freakishly overdeveloped, due to steroids, that they look like circus geeks. Baseball players seem like normal fit folks. Fans should be thankful they don't have to look at NFL teams in bathing suits.

...

49 Baseball has no penalties at all. A home run is a home run. You cheer. In football, on a score, you look for flags. If there's one, who's it on? When can we cheer? Football acts can all be repealed. Baseball acts stand forever.

...

78 In baseball, fans catch foul balls. In football, they raise a net so you can't even catch an extra point.

...

82 Football coaches walk across the field after the game and pretend to congratulate the opposing coach. Baseball managers head right for the beer.

Thank you, Thomas Boswell.

Espn is showing little kids crying at Fenway.
I'm laughing.
Does that make me a bad person?

Yes, yes that does make you a bad person.

Me too, though. Because I actually cackled when they showed the lil tyke with the sign.

I'm so effing happy right now *wipes away a single tear*

So far, the Angels are hitting the ball hard against Randy Johnson. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Shee-it, I typed that last comment before Anderson clubbed his 3-run homer off Randy Johnson.

Oh, and NJRob's tender sensibilities notwithstanding, feel free to have at my last comment. It included such choice phrases as "ball," "hard," "Randy Johnson," and "Let's hope they can keep it up."

hahaha, tender sensibilities.

Not quite. Uggh, don't like spotting a quality team like the Angels a 3-0 lead. yanks look a little tight. They just have to remember it's just a game and to play like it's one.

Bring on the jokes. Only problem is there really aren't that many sexual jokes you can make about baseball. It's not nearly as erotic as football. Baseball isn't known for "tackling and wrapping up" other men and "piling on".

Go Yankees

Sorry dudes, but Cardinals rule.
You probably don't know they're even in the playoffs as that doofus Selig has them playing in every non-prime timeslot he can find,(gametime 11:00 P.M. Eastern tomorrow), but if you look closely at the record you'll see that they won 100 again this year and are currently leading their series 2-0.
But heaven forbid that the Yanks play at any time other than prime time.

THIS JUST IN: Meth labs in Central Illinois are stepping up production in anticipation of a White Sox-Cardinals World Series.

Hey, Embittered,
That Illinois meth ain't bad, but if you want the really kick-ass shit you come to Jefferson County Mo. Just south of St. Louis, Jeffco is the capital of Wifebeater Nation. Nothing like getting stoked on $8 ballgame Bud and Jeffco crank.

5-0 Angels. Bad news for the Evil Empire.

Dang, Johnson is getting pwn3d!11!!

Hey, BBeck, ever hear of a band called Hawkwind?

Wow that brings me back to my college days, I think I have an album or 2 of theirs. Quark, Strangeness and something.

I am pretty sure that was one of about 10 tapes we had in a Dodge station wagon for a 2 month backpacking road trip, if I remember correctly most of the others were Tangerine Dream.

ouch ouch ouch...

Not good... still, gotta have faith in the Yanks lineup.

This will be it for my live commenting.. going to a bar to watch the game. Maybe that'll change the luck

Oh, and to the cards fan about the yanks getting the primetime slots... yanks were stuck at 10 pm est for game 2, which sucks for actual yankee fans on the east coast... so who are you kidding.

The reason for saturday being an 8pm game is that the yanks were tied 1-1 in their series while the other 2 possibilities were up 2-0 in their respective series.

Well NJ, that shuts me up. I admit it. The networks hate NY teams.
Who are you kidding?

Uh, rick, you do realize that game 4 in the Angels-Yanks series is nowhere near primetime, right? Your beef tomorrow is with the Astros and Braves.

Just south of St. Louis, Jeffco is the capital of Wifebeater Nation.

To be fair, when I was a St. Louis resident my brother in law lived in Jefferson County, and his wife beat him.

NJRob, your Big Unit has E.D.

You gotta love Yankee fans booing their own pitcher. How can you NOT hate Yankee fans?

My wildest dreams are materializing -- Red Sox nation is becoming un-hinged. Heads are going to roll in the off-season and that makes for entertaining talk-radio.

I want the Yankees to win not because I like the Yankees but to shove the '05 failure further up the ass of the Red Sox.

>19 Pro football players have breasts. Many NFLers are so freakishly overdeveloped, due to steroids, that they look like circus geeks. Baseball players seem like normal fit folks. Fans should be thankful they don't have to look at NFL teams in bathing suits.

And baseball players don't take steroids? Freaks like McGuire, Sosa, Bonds, etc. don't seem like normal fit folks. Baseball players have small testicles.

I'm gonna stop making fun of the Yankees now. The more I talk trash, the better they do. I'll wait until after the game to post about this again.

The best thing about the Red Sox losing: Won't have to see Ben Affleck or Ken Burns yukking it up in the stands.

But now I have to see Spike Lee and Billy Crystal at the Yankees' games.

Ugh. Bad night to be a starting pitcher.

The best thing about the Red Sox losing: Won't have to see Ben Affleck or Ken Burns yukking it up in the stands.

Was there anything worse that seeing Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in the stands during the Yankees-Red Sox games?

She's oin her Yankee hat, he's in his Red Sox hat. He's pointing things out to her.

"Over there is the field."
"No, no, that way, honey. over there."

Wasn't that sickening, E-Redleg?

Can you believe that pasty white untalented hollywood liberal was bangin' that ass?
That's the real crime.
Where's the outrage?

Where's the outrage, Bob Dole?

Yankees tied, 6-6.

Good game.

Wow that brings me back to my college days,

Yeah, me too. Figgered BBeck might have.

if I remember correctly most of the others were Tangerine Dream.

I still have all my Tangerine Dream albums. Haven't played them since the '80's. Seeing that name reminds of the song about traveling through solid rock or something. Hmm. Now I want to put it on.

THE YANKEES LOSE! THE-E-E-E-E YANKEES LOSE!

Hey, BBeck, ever hear of a band called Hawkwind? Ever hear of an album called Warrior On the Edge Of Time? (No Googling.)

LOL, no, I had to Google them. Space rock? Uh, NO thanks. Tangerine Dream? Yeesh. I was far more into hard rock back then.

Later,
bbeck

That was some game. It'll be interesting to see how the bullpens hold up tomorrow.

Go Angels!

Well that was a tough loss. Time to turn the season over to Chacon. At least the Yankees fought back. They won't be an easy out and we'll win tommorow. Back to Anaheim, ummm, LA, umm orange county, uhh somewhere in Callifornia. Can't they just go back to being known as the Callifornia Angels?

Once the Nats get a payroll and a FRICKIN' OWNER we shall conquer all those pussy National League momma's boys in the World Series. Chipper Jones will be wearing a gimp suit. (We'll probably just have to send Andruw jogging in a DC park or something to make him disappear.) We have players on our team who aren't just tough, mind you. We've got Jose Guillen, who is certifiably batshit-crazy. Throw at him high and inside and crazy shit will begin to go down. I pity all the innocent water coolers and bat racks which have suffered his wrath. He's a barbarian, but do I ever love him.

Then, of course, the American League teams will slaughter us.

My teams right now for the WS are the White Sox (just moved to the South Side for school, and I've already acquired the regional loathing of those pansy fratboy upper-middle-class gentrified CUBS fans....gaaaar) and the Astros, who may have handed the Nats some painful losses this year, but have never won it all, are an all-around classy team with three of the best pitchers in baseball and...have a choo-choo train that comes roaring out in centerfield whenever the 'Stros hit a home run.

A choo-choo train. You have to step aside for that.

Oh, and plus I desperately want them to whomp the insufferable fucking prettyboy Atlanta Cowards. God do I ever want to see them retired in the first round of the playoffs again. The Braves-Nats games this year have all been bloody epics, recalling the Union army's campaigns in Georgia under Sherman.

LOL, no, I had to Google them. Space rock? Uh, NO thanks. Tangerine Dream? Yeesh. I was far more into hard rock back then.

Au contrary, my sweet. My home slice. Pumpkin. This particular album would blow you and your SCA buds away. I shitteth thou notest. Highly recommended.

Well it looks like if the Red Sox don't commit a human sacrifice, the curse works. At least Johnny of Nazareth and the other dirty bastards won't get a chance to sully the World Series trophy this year. Fuckin pigs.

I think the Yankees better consider using Womack as a defensive replacement if they want to win, cause while Cano may be a good hitter, he's making too many key errors on defense. And Jorge Pop-up Posada is just too easy an out.

Unless the Yankees force a game 5, it'll be Chicago v St. Louis. I still want to know why Contreas and El Duque couldn't pitch like that when they were in NY. DAMN! But at least it won't be the fuckin red sox YES!

At least Johnny of Nazareth and the other dirty bastards won't get a chance to sully the World Series trophy this year.

Fuckin' A right! And, most importantly, no cameras on Ben Affleck's ugly mug or his toupee.
Hey, anyone notice that John F Kerry's loss of interest in the Red Sox just so happens to coincide with a non-presidential election year?

Who wants to see St. Louis in another fall classic?
I want new teams to watch this year. No teams from California.

Houston vs. Chicago.
Alls I know is I want more of that crazy nut-bastard,
Ozzie Guillen.

Does anyone know if Ozzie is a neo-con?

Ozzie rocks.

He rocked when he was with the fish too.

Stros are going down...its gonna be STL/CWS.

The CWS are a team of destiny this year like the fish were in 03'

Grand Slam!
The Stros must beat the Braves. Ted Turner must be defeated.

In case you were lookin' for it...

http://www.danegerus.com/weblog/images/GeorgeCarlin.txt

Can the Yankees do it?

Nope. The Yankess, do indeed, suck.

Can the White Sox pull a win out of their asses?
This is the game I was sure they'd win.
The sox are rested and fresh, whereas the Angels just played a game last night and had to travel to Chicago immediatley afterward.

And Contreras spun a beauty, too.
