The Beast

Happy Birthday man, peace and god bless!

I think we can get some better pitchers via free agency, I mean, I love Estey, he's just getting older, you know?

I had the pleasure to be with 3 great people from soxtalk. I already was with "The Pessimist" quickman, because he had the seats, god bless him, and we had some fun at the game. I still owe him a beer. I met Miss Steff as well, who was very kind and quiet when she wasn't talking to Terry ...and she was a lot different than I expected her, she was very courteous. And as for Mr. Koch this, he didn't say much other than Jon Garland is a piece of s***. Wish I could have met Vince though, because he seems like a honerable man. You hear that Terry, come back you big baby!

He's no where. The guy has been off the face of the earth since 2001. The Sox released him anyway.

Rock on, Jeckle, I like your inititative.

I'd personally like to listen to AM 1000. I love listening to Mariotti and the "Whiner Line." Dan Patrick's show is awesome, yet, I turn off Jim Rome and switch back on to Mcneil, Jurko, and Harry. ("The Tiny one.") I don't listen to the Score because I hate North. The way they did the Griffey deal thing and other things as well turned me off from listening to them. Thoughts?

Guys, Olivo ain't dead. It sucks that he was treated and traded, but its a business. We can't be so attatched to our players, its a business. In a business people get fired and transferred, it happens.

Thats one game, Cheat. Didn't he play decent the past few times?

Did not see the thread, sorry.

Not at the moment. Kenny Williams will see how we are going to be doing in the next few weeks, evaluate and go from there. Look toward the trade deadline to get the deal done.

because...

Oh believe me, we do.

He's not a future allstar but yet again one of my favorites. Bye Miguel, we hardly knew ye.

Too many mixed feelings in that thread, so I want to see visually what our results come out to be in the poll.

To add another comment. Olivo will never be an Allstar. (Not from me, but from a brilliant mind of galliance)

He'll never live up to be the .400 hitter he was. Excuse me, he's hitting .279? He'll be a .300/10 hitter. Yeah thats nice, but Magglio will do better than that. Garcia and Ordonez will be back next year, and thats a guarantee.

Seattle is sending us cash, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I like this trade, I mean I really LOVE this trade. We have so many options now! We can sign Magglio to an extension, and Kenny Williams said that they would re-sign so they could have a future for these guys in the Chicago White Sox organization. Whoa, a big loss in Olivo. Yeah, just think if we didn't have him, you would be b****ing for a catcher. He'll be a career .250 hitter. Also, besides Rex, who of you has seen Reed play?

I have no tolerance for managers anymore. I've thrown out 3, but I've thrown out 5 more moms than coaches. Crazy.

What the hell? Until the White Sox confirm this, I choose not to listen to the media.

I can finally go to the Heritage Fest and have bragging rights. Although usually when I sin, we lose a lot.

The above phrase is uttered by umpires to help save our calls even though we are in doubt sometimes. What I want to ask is, at a game, do you rag on the umpire knowing that you will not do anything? Trying to intimidate him doesn't do anything. I'm a thin skinned umpire, but I am as hot as the last umpire out there when it comes to temper. So when I am approached, I say its in my judgement, and if something else is uttered I handle it in a kind manner unless foul language is used or violence. Then I need to initiate in retaliation. But I'm curious, do you guys (as parents and as players or fans) rag on the umpire, even though you ignorantly don't know that its in the umpire judgement. My last three arguments. Me: Time! Sir, is your name Ross Meister or Jim M? Man: No. Me: Then shut up and watch the game. Man: I want an appeal! (Violent and had been causing trouble all game) Me: Heres your appeal...(pointed to his car) Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the kid is squaring to bunt, and doesn't pull the bat back, its a strike! I just want to hear feed back of what you think of local umpires is all.

He had some stints with some minor league clubs, and was most recently with the Chicago Cubs.

McNeil, Jurko, and Harry, weekdays at 3 on Chicagos ESPN Radio 1000. I met Dan Mcneil on friday.

What about the Drew? The Drew is a P.I.M.P.
