Another interesting read from the Cubune.... http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-cubs-headlines White Sox have money, plenty of holes November 28, 2004 What they need A right fielder to replace free agent Magglio Ordonez, a defensive-minded shortstop or second baseman who can lead off to replace Jose Valentin, a starting pitcher, a reliever and a catcher, either a starter or a backup for Ben Davis. Who's available The Sox do have money to spend, though they are not going to be players in the high-priced free-agent sweepstakes. And the price of midlevel players, such as Omar Vizquel and Damian Miller—both of whom were perfect fits for the Sox—has gone up considerably. But general manager Ken Williams is a master at making trades and may wind up going that route. Right field This is not the deepest position for free agents. Among the possibilities are Oakland's Jermaine Dye, whose injuries have limited him to no more than 62 RBIs in any of the last three years; Danny Bautista, who drove in a career-high 65 runs last season; Richard Hidalgo, who will make much less than his $15 million last season; and Jeromy Burnitz, whose recent numbers have come in Colorado's thin air. One thing to remember: Williams has had a longtime fascination with Atlanta center fielder Andruw Jones, who is owed $39 million for the next three years and would cost talent in return. A fallback strategy would be a combination of former No. 1 draft pick Joe Borchard and veteran Carl Everett, but that would be an absolute last choice. Shortstop After Vizquel signed with the Giants, Williams said going with Juan Uribe and Willie Harris would work. But there are intriguing possibilities, including Nomar Garciaparra, Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera. Starting pitcher All indications are the Sox are in the Randy Johnson trade sweepstakes, although there are two problems: Johnson wants a second year added to his $18 million contract, and he has to approve any trade. Chances are Williams will be looking to acquire someone like Atlanta's Jaret Wright or the Cubs' Matt Clement. Wright recovered from myriad injuries to finish 15-8 with a 3.28 ERA for the Braves but will be looking for a lot more than the $850,000 he was paid. Catcher Cardinals free agent Mike Matheny, a hard-nosed veteran who can handle pitchers, would be a perfect fit. But he wants about $5 million for two years, maybe more. The Twins thought Henry Blanco's request for a two-year, $3 million contract was too high and let him go, so he would be a possibility. Reliever Williams is not outwardly looking for a closer to replace Shingo Takatsu, but Ugueth Urbina would be intriguing, given that he is a close friend of manager Ozzie Guillen's. The Sox also like Shawn Chacon, though probably more as a setup man.

The Bears probably should have tried this 4 or 5 weeks ago... now its pointless. Maybe George can show these guys something other than how to fight with your coaches....

Happy BDay

Wait till Jessie Jackson sees this thread title... he is going to shut this place down....

Happy Turkey Day to one and all!!

Ben Davis.... he will be the starter for 2005....

We decorate when ever my wife decides its time to get festive lol

1. Salma Hayek 2. Jenna Jameson 3. Alyssa Milano 4. Eva Longoria 5. Morgan Webb Any of the 5 would be great but all 5 would be awesome hehehe

Lou Gehrig would be another good choice.

I have to drive a full 5 mins to my parents for turkey day...the travel will be tough I know lol

That would be her. Thanks Soxy.

I think one of the first times I heard of post partum was with the Naperville mom who killed her children in their home. I forget what her name was though. I believe it was about 3 or 4 years ago.

She will be locked up in a psyche ward for a long time.

I would take Babe Ruth, he would kill at USCF.

Mom allegedly cut off baby's arms Faces capital murder charges Tuesday, November 23, 2004 Posted: 1431 GMT (2231 HKT) PLANO, Texas (AP) A woman with a history of postpartum depression cut the arms off her baby girl who later died, authorities said. Dena Schlosser was sitting in her living room covered with blood when police arrived Monday. Her almost 11-month-old daughter lay fatally injured in a crib in a bedroom of the family's apartment in Plano. The child was pronounced dead shortly afterward at a nearby hospital. Police have charged the 35-year-old mother with capital murder, but declined to reveal where she is being held. Schlosser, who had a history of postpartum depression, had been investigated on child neglect allegations earlier this year, but Texas Child Protective Services had recently closed a seven-month investigation, concluding that Schlosser did not pose a risk to her children. Neighbors said she seemed to be a loving, attentive mother. "There were never any indications of violence with this family," agency spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said. "The children had always been healthy, happy and cared for." But, on Monday, authorities discovered a grisly scene at the family's apartment after the child's father called a day-care center, and asked them to check on his wife and daughter. Day-care workers called 911 after talking to the mother; an operator then called Schlosser. Asked if there was an emergency, Schlosser calmly responded "Yes," according to 911 tapes released by police. "Exactly what happened?" the 911 operator asked. "I cut her arms off," Schlosser replied, as the hymn "He Touched Me" played in the background. "You cut her arms off?" he repeated. "Uh huh," she answered. It was not immediately clear what instrument was used to sever the baby's arms or why the child's father called a day-care center to check on his family. Schlosser lived at the apartment with other family members, including her two older daughters. Authorities said the girls, ages 6 and 9, were at school when police arrived, and that their father was at work. No one answered the door Monday night at the family's apartment in suburban Dallas. Children's bicycles rested near the entrance along with angel garden statues. Neighbors said Schlosser took her children swimming in the summer, had picnics in the courtyard and walked her baby around the complex the same time each afternoon. Dena Livingston, 43, said she saw Schlosser making her rounds with the stroller on Sunday. Two days earlier, she saw Schlosser waiting with the baby outside the elementary school where her two other daughters attend. "She didn't give off like she was in a distant world or didn't care about the baby," Livingston said. Livingston's husband, Brad, added: "To see her with the girls, you would just think she was a great mother." Child-protective officials were interviewing Schlosser's daughters and would talk to the father before deciding whether to remove the girls from the home. In January, the agency was called to the home after Schlosser was seen running down the street, with one of her daughters bicycling after her, authorities said. When officials arrived, the child told them her mother had left her 6-day-old sister alone in the apartment. Schlosser appeared at the time to be suffering from postpartum depression and having a psychotic episode, Gonzales said. Schlosser was hospitalized, and later agreed to seek counseling and saw a psychiatrist, Gonzales said. "At the time we closed the case, we had been assured that Mom was stabilized and that she was not a risk to herself or her children," Geoff Wool, spokesman for the Family and Protective Services Department, said.

Check out this hot stove report from Fox Sports..probably BS but worth a look. http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3147942

CNN.com is reporting a 6th hunter has died from his wounds. 6 people dead over a dispute this ridiculous. Unbelievable is all I can say about this incident. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/11/22/hunte...lled/index.html

Thats the same guy who was punching Artest in the back of the head as he tried to get Artest off of the first guy he jumped on. Hopefully they nail him to the wall as well.

There are some seriously messed up people out there....

I got a feeling the Sox are waiting to hear from RJ about what he wants to do b4 they do anything. If he rejects the Sox I bet they trade for Kendall and ship him to Oak for one of the big 3.
