QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:51 AM) we're becoming spoiled with all of this winter activity the past few years. Hey, when you finally get to sit on the throne, you better act like a f***ing king.

i wonder if he is still going to make his appearance with Moose at the Sprint store down the street from me.

I love how NY is hyping this as the Yankees uniting the trifecta of shortstops on one team. Maybe 3-5 years ago, this would have been spectacular. But now, adding Nomar to that currently overpaid and underachieving team just makes me laugh. Let them have Nomar, their starting pitching is still a train wreck, they have no visible chemistry, and appear to have next to nothing in the minors. And who to blame but the Boss? Thats the greatest part, IMO.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) TWIW, but Gammons said last week if Arizona were to trade Vazquez, they would not pick up any of his contract, including the $3 million the Yankees send them to help pay it. That means, if their position hasn't changed, the Sox would be on the hook for $11.5 million this year, and $12.5 million next year. The way Vazquez has performed the last season and a half, I would prefer to hang on to Garland and/or Contreras at that price. I am one who doesn't think this is going to happen. Not if they are trading for Jon Garland, they arent. f*** that bulls***, we arent sending them a budding pitcher for a well known headcase, and picking up the whole bill. If Arizona feels that they must trade Vazquez because he demands it, then the White Sox hold the hammer. KW better not let his lust for Vazquez get in the way of this deal if he should make it.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 03:02 AM) That judge deserves to be fired... and thats all im going to say. I agree. The Judge couldnt even come to terms with the "punishment" that she gave to the priest. this guy is scarred for life, and the priest gets to go back to his regular life. There was really no justice served in this case.

Happy Birthday SS2K5. Allot yourself 1500 posts for the occasion. I would say you earned them, but then I would be lying......

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) Interesting thing is IMO the Heat win the Championship last year if Wade doesn't get hurt late in game 5 of the East Finals against Detroit. The Heat up 3-2 with a healthy Wade wouldn't have lost that series. Also remember in '03-'04, he helped develop a VERY young team (with no Shaq) that started 0-9 into a playoff team that made the 2nd round of the playoffs. Van Gundy is a good coach (best in his family) and he was a victim of a setup and Pat Riley's ego. Sad to see. I dont know if I agree with this. the Pistons were no joke last year. Noone knows how those conference finals would have ended up. But I do agree that a healthy Dwayne Wade would have put the Heat in a much better situation to win, no doubt.

Do they show you how to fill the battery?

Guests will be: Former White Sox *stars* Lyle Mouton, Paco Martin, Danny Wright, Jose Paniagua, and Tony Phillips! Bring your 2005 World Champion White Sox gear to the event to get signed! Be there or be square!

Eh, Im not surprised. The Heat are good, but they should have been great for the past two years. I am sure Riley has been fidgeting in his office for a while now, and finally the pressure has gotten to Van Gundy. I think that Ron Jeremy will find another job soon enough, maybe with Brother Combover in Houston.

I think Arnie is gonna wuss out because of the threat of riots.

Go for broke and go rent George Lucas' "THX". Start where surround sound was defined

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) Too bad Nene isn't healthy. I'd do a deal Gordon for him in a second. Why? So the Bulls can also lament about his potential while he sits entire seasons on the bench? I think not. The problem with Nene is that he is never healthy.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 03:19 AM) Dye will be here in 07 as long as he produces like he did last year. You might have some youngins next season but you still have one hell of a core: Paul, Thome, Gooch, AJ(he'll be back), juan, dye, mark, bmac, freddy, bobby, neal. Not bad. assuming Freddy re-signs after this season

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) What number does Mackowiak take? He was 3 for Pitt.....isn't that retired for the sox? Baines

f*** yeah Time to stock up on your ketamine(sp?).

How can anyone look at what Isiah Thomas has done with the Knicks and want to go to that team? This just further proves that Artest is insane

QUOTE(jenksd @ Dec 11, 2005 -> 07:19 AM) My favorite part was when Jeffries hit a three, then watched and admired it, basically patting himself on the back for it. Then Nocioni came down and drained a three and just ran back and played defense within 10 seconds after Jeffries hit it. I think Noch hit a shot the next drive too. That block by Haywood on Deng was completely brutal, but I loved when the very next play Deng did the same thing and scored. Actually, that was Arenas that admired his shot. And he hung his arm way out and basically blocked Duhon from moving when he did it. I am pretty sure that Nocioni's answering 3 was the first 3 points of the 16-0 run the Bulls went on to end the game. I was really surprised at how diva-like Arenas acted in the end of the game. The refs swallowed their whistles for pretty much the whole game(which I dont mind if they are consistent), and when the Bulls came back with all of their energy, the Wizards just started crying.

The Wizards got supremely cocky when it got down to 3 minutes left, and just couldnt turn the switch back on when they tried. They should have whooped the bulls, they had them at a 10 point defecit the whole game

I think the only team that would truly benefit from a Manny-Tejada swap would be Boston given the current circumstances. Manny isnt going to transform the O's into a contender. He is going to be the star whose numbers stick out like a sore thumb on that team. Tejada is going to give the Red Sox better defense up the middle, and plenty of offense batting behind Ortiz. The Orioles have to see this would be helping out Boston more than anything.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I was talking about your teacher.

Dan Patrick was commenting on this situation yesterday, and I thought he had some interesting things to say in regards to the "Make your own bed, sleep in it" train of thought. First, why should we pity Tejada's situation whatsoever? Tejada chose to come to Baltimore, and get paid handsomely to do so. It wasnt as if they dangled the money in his face and didnt tell them what sort of plan they were going to attempt. Tejada knew what he was getting into. Second, you can rip King Peter all you want, but Tejada is acting like the Baltimore Orioles have adopted a Pittsburgh Pirates method of getting players. Which is no method at all, get the crappy free agents and pay one guy the big bucks. This isnt true. While Angelos may have been very misguided, and his judgement severely lacked in Free Agents, but he did spend alot of money in Free Agency in an attempt to put the team back in contention. Javy Lopez, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Sidney Ponson, etc. The guy shelled out bucks and contracts recklessly, but he still somewhat tried. He just shelled out the money for the tail end of the steroid era, and couldnt capitalize, and attempted trusting Ponson, who was only interested in eating and assaulting judges. Third, Dontrelle Willis made 378,500 last year, Miguel Cabrera made 370,000 last year. 2 years removed from helping the Marlins win the World Series, and next year these two budding superstars are going to be forced to play with a AA team. Not once have either of these two guys made a public plea or complaint to leave their team, even though noone would blame either of them for the sentiment. Tejada knew what he was getting into, and Willis and Cabrera had no choice, yet Tejada is complaining. Interesting thoughts out of Dan Patrick yesterday. If anything maybe it will stimulate some more conversation

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 03:19 AM) What do you think are the chances of the Bulls trading for a center on Dec 15? I think that depends on someone stupid enough to take Tim Thomas' worthless ass in a deal. His expiring contract is attractive, his attitude is not. I just want someone on the bench who can produce. Not someone collecting 14 million this year and crying about it.

the refs havent really called any fouls either way the whole game though. The Bulls and Lakers have been beating each other up

I dont know if any of you are watching the Bulls Eye preview to the game, but the rundown on Pippen is f***ign awesome.
