QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) What time is check-in on friday? Also, what are some of you guys bring with to have autographed? Well opening ceremony starts at 5...530 is the autographs, i'm hoping to get there early enough with some hw, cd's and gameboy to pass the time so we can get in the front of the line... I usually get pictures while dad's in line for stuff and run to my line...its quite simple. Bats, cards, baseballs (official ones) are great...

Stage Three 5:30 Dye shopping... dads going to get paulie at 530... after 530 everything seems to suck majorly theres like no good new autographs but i'll have my cell on me to meet any of you and saturday. saturday 10:30 Jermaine Dye, Scott Podsednik First 500 autographs 1:00 Freddy Garcia, AJ Pierzynski First 500 autographs If u want, PM me before friday...then we can get a meeting time and such in the line or something and i'll let you know what i'm wearing to soxfest. throw me a PM, cuz i wanna meet a few of ya's, either at the fest, or in the lobby. drinks are on me EDIT: I'm going to wear a name tag, I don't think its silly.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) I dunno, I kinda think being Newspaper Editor is a pain in the ass more than Bball....lol for someone who doesn't like working out LOTS, and getting up early and who believes in living a healthy lifestyle, varsity isn't for me. I'm going to have lots of fun, cuz writing really comes easy to me.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) Trust me man, just try to be involved as much as you can and have fun. High school and college are 2 of the best times of your life. When you get into the real world, like I did recently, you will realize how much you miss school. being the sports writer/editor at our school will give me a voice that will last with me for sometime. memories of 2 years with football will be good too. i'm just not committed to 6:30 practices all summer with no fun at night... and you know? radio is going to be sweet! i'm already getting some notices from colleges for my shows. (i dunno how, but it happens)

I don't think I'm going to play football next year. Too many sacrifices, I guess. There's much more to life as a teen for the last 2 years before college than high school sports. I think next year with my schedule somewhat packed and...journalism and radio (writing for the paper and broadcasting) will be very fun. Its just sometimes hard, you know? or not?

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) u like the mars volta or coheed and cambria at all? i wouldnt really classify tool as metal but, to each his/her own still a little depressing.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) sounds like some good ol' TOOL - third eye would be a good song for you to listen to right now. Metal isn't what I'm listening to because that actually made me more depressed. I guess you could say I'm an emo/rock kid...(only emo because of my towns local band FIAD)

It all happens to the best of us, man. Personally, I haven't been happy since 2000. I've had some times that I've been happy, but bullies, ex-gf's and haters have ruined the teen part of my life. I refuse to drink or smoke, though I wouldn't say I nearly would have tried it. I believe that its immoral to do so, even if it is in the form of having a good time at a party. Pain in my life usually occurs once every two weeks and lasts for quite some time. I find that by talking with friends and my parents that things work out, but a counselor always helps. Sometimes I'm lonely too, and that can lead to a bunch of random badness of depressed feelings. I think Metal and harder music isn't that good for me right now, so I think I've been switching over to softer "question everything" music... Thats kinda it, and it is how it is.

I don't see that much of a difference between the leagues other than the pitchers batting. Yes you would know what pitchers did in the leagues for the longest time, but... to me, baseball is baseball.

Come to think of it, wouldn't Maggs being on the Tigers remind you of Dean Palmer and how he had stints like that?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) Just giving you a hard time Beastly, no hard feelings at all. You've been doing a nice job around here lately, really. Thanks, its nice to know some encouragement sometimes...

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) If by thriving you mean prolonged DL stints, lower numbers to ones he produced with the White Sox and never going to the playoffs again, sure he'll thrive. You love to show me up, don't you aboz56? I for one think he'll come around again, but thats me, I'm hopeful, and ur just opposing everything I say.

Green Day-American Idiot is the worst song I've heard recently.

Magglio will thrive where ever he goes. Its sad he had to leave us...but as long as he doesn't go to the cubs, i'm happy.

"Lately there's been too much of this..." :headshake :puke

A few people have PMed me with things and I've responded, but no answer back. Um, maybe some of the youngins could meet for dinner somewhere downstairs that we can afford or go in an autograph line n chill, or whatever. Just shoot me a PM if you want to do something like this.

Now it seems as though we aren't getting Iguchi. "Williams also said chances of signing Japan League second baseman Tadahito Iguchi, considered an impact-type player, are slim. The sides are far apart on money for a three-year deal." "With our signing of Pierzynski, unless the other side gets very creative on the structure of the contract, there would be a very remote possibility you'll see Iguchi in a White Sox uniform," Williams said. Weird...I thought something was posted what we were close to signing him.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) A pitcher who has been inconsistent for most of his career who may get hammered at the Cell? From what I saw, after coming over in the trade last year, he wasn't exactly dynamite. Don't get me wrong, I love Garcia. But if I want to ask KW about the trade, you all can wait in line behind me with your love letters. I love Garcia too, but he also has great streaks of being successful. Vazquez wasn't exactly dynamite last year and he can compare to Garcia. I don't need to ask KW about the trade. I don't love him, but i don't hate KW either.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) Hold on to yourself. We cannot contend with the yankees or redosx nor are we even close. We will contend for the division. Take it easy lightning. Sry, I forgot that I'm of the "young sox fans" Terry.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) How about regularly beating the Twins first? We have a helluva team on paper, I hope this is the year it leads to success throughout the season on the field. We will beat the twins. They have no where near the team we have now. You can disagree with me if you want to, I'll understand that.

Aboz, consider this quote. "You've got to give something to get something." Were you expecting us to trade Borchard instead? Wow, we lost Reed. Look what we gained?
