Naw, Biggio will slide back in at 2b. A F/A OF is cheaper than a F/A 2b. They want to save money so they can re-sign Beltran.

Wow! What a load of bulls***!

He's a wrench?

Purely an aberration. How often has a team not in the top 10 salary-wise won the WS since the strike year of 1994? Salaries have risen astronomically since then.

A light has come on. The cobwebs have been cleared away. A realization has occured. We as White Sox fans accept mediocrity. That's why we will NEVER win the World Series. 65 million dollars will NOT win a title in today's baseball. No more talk of budgets and "I don't think we can afford him" bullcrap. The MLB today is all about the "Go big or go home" mentality. The Sox rarely go big, so they always go home. So, until the financial misers that run the franchise change their mind, we will be watching the CUBS win their 1st World Series in 90+ years before the White Sox will even SNIFF the playoffs again. The time has come to get serious Mr. Reinsdorf. Sell the Bulls and put your money into the White Sox. Otherwise, you will NEVER have the full support of the fans of this team.

Then the jackass David Schoenfield, goes on to blame the team for the Black Sox scandal. Does he realize that the players were acquitted in court? THEY WERE NEVER CHARGED WITH A CRIME, ASSHOLE! :fyou The only crime committed since then are the medicore rosters and the penny-pinching owners that we've had to deal with as fans.

What did you do to the picture to make it different?

It's not always how far you punt, but whether you can place it inside the 1 yard line without it getting returned.

The President visited my town back in like May. The day he visited, our only McDonald's burned to the ground. (No connection, just an interesting story) The new one will be open in two weeks. Can you imagine, 50,000 people without a McDonald's for nearly 6 months? McD corporate must have freaked.

1987 was the first year that the "juiced ball" theory started. Check out the ERAs of pitchers in the early-mid 80s until that year. It's been pretty much rising power and rising ERAs since then.

The media left him alone. They took "smiley" pictures and/or serious hitting pics. Around the strike, when that story about him using non-union workers to build his house, came out...that was the final straw in the ending of "friendly" Frank Thomas.

So, was the 1 dissenting vote taken out into the street and shot?

I've seen women like that. And it wasn't Halloween. :puke

What, no mention of Darren Bennett?

I used to collect sportscards, and half of my Becketts had Frank Thomas on them. He USED to be the Superstar that the Sox need. Good with the media, happy, awesome stats, deadly hitter. That foot injury year in 2001 sure made it look like it was all a facade in the eyes of the fans and media. He is now portrayed as a picky. pitch-taking baby who you can strikeout on inside pitches.

They Gone!

Hey WSF1, are you going to want the Ashlee or Avril stuff I made for you? I'm considering deleting them from my computer in some "Spring Cleaning".

ESPN and BBTN love shameless digs about the Black Sox. That's pretty much about all they know about the Sox.

Okay, fine. But OTHER than him, those other guys are homegrown. If we went out and spent "stupid" money like the teams in the playoffs...is THAT the secret to a World Championship?

Yes, the Indians were catching up to the Sox very quickly when the strike came.

Lee - ours Rowand - ours Thomas - ours Ordonez - ours Buehrle - ours Marte - ours Crede - ours Borchard - ours We're doing it all wrong, kids.

Aigh!
