In a monumental loss to the Great Falls White Sox, free agents Joe and Anne Clemmer have signed a 3 year, $30 million deal with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. The deal includes front-row box seats behind the visitors' dugout and an unlimited supply of functional air horns. As an added bonus, the Clemmers have arranged for $1 wines in addition to $1 beers,

Although the Great Falls White Sox season is complete (thank God), former Thirsty Thursday Club (TTC) President Jeff Andreoli continues to heckle professional baseball players. Andreoli was traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays late in the season, part of an internal house cleaning conducted by TTC Executives in response to a terrible team record. He made his Tampa debut on Sunday, as the Devil Rays

Speaking from behind a mountainous column of overturned beer cups, Thirsty Thursday Club President Jared Smith and Vice-President Scotty Simpson hailed the myriad accomplishments of The Club during its 4th season in service to the Great Falls White Sox. Despite a 7.69% winning percentage, cantankerous senior citizens, stolen bicycles, Bush League heckling etiquette from fans of opposing teams,

Frustrated by a terrible White Sox team, the Thirsty Thursday Club launched a verbal assault upon the Ogden Raptors Thursday night, forcing most of the team to the top steps of the dugout. The Raptors apparently wore their rabbit ears that night, as glares and words were exchanged throughout the course of the game. Their best comeback, "look at the score," was meritless based on the fact that the

Well, as they say, desperation makes strange bedfellows. This case is no exception. In a last ditch effort to rescue their season, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have completed a trade for Thirsty Thursday Club (TTC) Special Advisor Jeff Andreoli.

The Thirsty Thursday Club has seen the White Sox play the Helena Brewers a whopping 6 times this season, and their record is a dismal 1-5. During these losses, Brewers' centerfielder Cole Gillespie has torn Sox pitching apart. It's a rare event when the big guy from Oregon State makes an out, and even when he hits the ball 2 inches, he still gets a hit. He smacked one so far yesterday that

As issues in the Middle East continue to heat up, new methods of reaching a resolution are beginning to surface.

After a promising victory last Thursday, a few members of the Thirsty Thursday Club tried to repeat the magic Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, a win was not in the cards for the White Sox, as they fell to the Billings Mustangs 8-4. A handy little coupon secured 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, and 4 sodas (not pops) for the Club for only 10 bucks. And since the beer batter pulled an O-fer, it was fortunate

Jared Smith ushered in his Presidency last night with a resounding 4-1 victory over Great Falls’ nemesis, the Helena Brewers. Logan Williamson took a no hitter into the seventh inning, and John Shelby and Lee Cruz both belted homers for the White Sox. The Club was forced to relocate to a section behind the visitors’ dugout because their normal seating area was reserved for another party.

3 days, 3 games, 2 cities...3 losses. The bad luck for the Thirsty Thursday Club and the Great Falls White Sox continued, as the Club's road trip to Helena failed miserably. The Sox dropped both games in the Capital City, making the Club a perfect 0-7 on the season. In the series finale, a good pitcher's duel turned into a blowout as the Brewers routed the Sox 11-0.

As you may know, our boys recently went off on a 7 game road stint. The good news - besides the fact that we were afforded some important rehydration hours - is they’ve actually been progressing (and playing better baseball, even!). Before their departure we were just a bit concerned about their fragile mental state. Their last road trip was a disaster, but fortunately for the Sox this time

It has long been theorized that by heckling at the Sox games, there would be an immediate impact on the result of the games. This year has been somewhat anomalous, however, as the Thirsty Thursday Club has gone 0-3 at home games.

Forgive this writer if the details are little sketchy, but in a memorable evening at Centene Stadium last night, the Thirsty Thursday Club, with a little help from their friends, shattered the old record of 55 beers and finally topped the century mark.
