QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Are you willing to admit that KW did a great job this year in building this team yet? anthrax?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Um, no. Konerko and Ordonez aren't nearly the same kind of player. Power: Konerko > Maggs Average: Konerko Speed: Konerko Defense: Different Positions so Konerko = Maggs Arm: Different Positions but Konerko Maggs is a much better all around player than Konerko or atleast he was when we offered him the contract. Magglio is much closer to an all around player compared to Konerko who is basically 1 dimentional. You don't give a one dimensional ballplayer $15M that's a f***ing joke. Konerko=team leader Maggs=joke Konerko=said he would give the sox a home team discount Maggs=left because of more money

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) I been around just not posting popping in reading; lot going on.. but seems that things are whinding down so I hear more often.. Sorry but I want to win every year no matter what..Why is it that the Yankees/REdSox/braves are able to do it? What makes them so great? Are you willing to admit that KW did a great job this year in building this team yet?

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) WHAT are you kidding me? They get a Bye if we win it all? ahhh NOOOOO Win it again.. Why do they get a bye? Why do most Chicago fans settle for avg and think happy thoughts? I want to win every single year.. no excuses. Here is my question if we let Pauly go; where does the extra money get used? If memory serves me doesn't KW get an extra 10-12 mil next year?

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) I know that Jones is a free swinger. However, he's a REALISTIC option that could potentially fill a need for the Sox if PK were to leave. All I know is that the Sox offense needs some lefty hitters. Would Jones be a perfect fit? Not at all. However, there really aren't a lot of likely perfect options. no, no, no no. Jones?? Come on. He is no replacement for Paulie and has no fit on this team. Paulie needs to be resigned. We get rid of Everett, Frank's salary, resign pauly, and we still have money to play with. Not to mention the possible surge of minor league talent, which could allow us to trade some peices as well. Going younger is much better than getting overpaid no so talented cast offs.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Hmmm... is there a market for this thing..? I own the market.

Damn, if anyone knows anyone that isnt using their parking pass for wed, let me know.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) its too bad dirty champs isn't over there...oh the fun we'd have. Steff, weren't you surprised at how crazy that place got? I was. did you get the chicken bites, those things are awesome there!!!

Defending Manny is like trying to defend the positives of Saddam. Its really a lose/lose situation. Manny is highly regarded as one of the most arrogant, obnoxious, overpaid players in the game. His own team tried to drop him 2 years ago, and nobody else wanted him! Not only that, but he DEMANDED a trade this year from the Red Sox. I dont even understand how a red sox fan can like him.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) The ball curved right around the pole. Just as people here can say AJ stepping on Boone wasn't intentional, I could just as easily say he was adjusting his gloves because he thought it was going foul. People just seem to overanalyze stuff like this. Yes, because when players hit foul balls, they fling their bat, un-do their gloves and start their homerun trot...

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) i remember the Sox facing this guy this year. I thought he had filthy stuff. I am very surprised Stoneman let him go IIRC, Turnbow was released because of arm problems and we all know that Jenks was released due to arm and personal problems. Wow, the royal continue to stock hard throwing relievers in their pen.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 09:01 AM) Giambi was a great contact hitter while in the minors. He got on base at a good clip and hit the ball with frequency. Steroids turned him into a homerun god and an AL MVP. The fact is he cheated, and his old stature shouldnt count for anything. As far as I am concerned, this may be the REAL Giambi for the first time, and he is not deserving of a comeback award. IMO I dont think he should ever be eligible for any award, and I still think the AL MVP should be stripped. I will keep repeating this statement.

where is everyone tailgating?

I usually take the train, but im thinking of tailgating, no pass for me either.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) can you imagine a big f***ing school bus van like deal with all those people accually in it? oh man. I still have shotgun.

I would think it would be weird, not wierd, but hey, inventing words is cool too!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) That was taken from a Suntimes article today. Can you just imagine what Anderson, Erstad, Finley and Kennedy would do to Marte? HOLY s***. If anyone thinks that Ozzie is going to put marte in that situation again instead of Neal you must be crazy. He is now relegated to last guy in the pen. And he is only there in case, thats it.

if manny is not on the mets next year I will be very surprised. I heard a Beltran/Manny swap.

Moe's Cantina in Wrigleyville, shots for everyone, I paid all night.

do I classify as a bandwagoner?

This is for all the cubs fans who said we would be one and done. All of RED SOX NATION who said here comes the wrecking crew. All the doubters on ESPN Marriotti Indians Twins Bat girl-still love you though everyone, heres a big f*** you from the Rock, b****es

enjoy that s*** cubs part #2. Go home, leave your ugly stadium, your ugly fanbase, and your ugly at bats. Eat s***, you've been swept!!!!!

Hey red sox fans, leave the stadium, you've just been swept b****es. Enjoy your reign as champs, cause its ova!!!!!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) what's the rule in the playoffs, do they have rain shortened victories after five innings? Does it carry over to the next day?
