cant believe there are only three options for favorite college team. where is NIU Football??

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) I could get serious money! They used my face without my consent! it could backfire, because technically they were using it before you, so you might have to pay up.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) That would be nice, Zito and Wagner would become more available. I dont think Oakland is going to fall out of the race. Aren't they only 2 out of the Wild Card?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) Holy s***! I'm the Campbell's Soup kid! you should sue...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I whipped this up real quick, nothing special: you're too late, i already made him one

yeah that looks pretty badass deploder.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) I'd usually just bring one of my own. that can work too, but if they are giving them away, you wouldn't turn one down, nes pa?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Um no, we'd be waving white socks and the name of our team is The White Sox. It couldn't be any more right. exactly, waving monkeys would be a ripoff.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) They handed out Socks in the 2000 playoffs also! They handed out rally socks opening day too... here's the one i got. they should do it weekly.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) How's this then? i think you may have put the wrong link because his logo is still backwards?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) Absurd. Like the guy or not, he is an improvement. Not to mention both Punto and Rivas were butchers in the field. You can go find defensive stats such as range and whatnot, but the game isn't played on paper. His defensive improvement and veteran ability is reason enough to call him an improvement. ok, well he sure hasnt improved the twins at all. i guess you could be right that it wasnt a bad move to get him for free, but it wasnt a good move either. it has helped the team in no way.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) s*** I never noticed the logo! i figured you wouldn't allow that to happen on your watch.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) Disagree. Did you see who they were trotting out at 2B? Boone is an improvement, plain and simple. They acquired the guy for virtually nothing and he is able to slide right in and contribute. It was a fine move. If you improve your ballclub, it's never dumb. I have a hard time calling Bret Boone an improvement over anything. He can't approach .240, has zero power left, no speed, bad hands in the field. What exactly does he contribute to any team, no matter how bad their second baseman is? Punto and Rivas were both batting better (.253/.250) as compared to Boone's .224, yes Boone might get more RBI's, but how many chances does he squander still trying to swing for the fences?

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) Seattle wanted to wait til closer to the deadline before putting him on the market, we'll see if that's a wise move or not for them. It will be wise. What people are willing to offer now will only get larger as teams need to compete once Wagner is dealt.

well, here's the campbell's soup kid. i think there is a resemblance...

i havent been privvy to Goldmember's work, I'll have to check it out.

I'm starting to think that no deal will happen (aside from Takatsu to SF or AZ) Our team is just too hot right now, with almost every cylinder clicking.

i dont see this trade really making or breaking either teams' seasons. i still think the twins were very dumb to get bret boone.

deploder, your work by far is the best on this site... a couple of things, his name is buehrle>wood, not buehrlewood... it just makes more sense the other way. and is there anyway you can get the sox logo on scotty's helmet to go the correct way?

exactly

it took me forever, but i got it done, just for you.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) Hey, it's a cat fight everyone! maybe my shirt will get ripped off!

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Contreras won't see the field if Hernandez is healthy. Garland isn't exactly a rock at this point either. contreras... maybe, to even argue the thought of garland not starting would be ridiculous. the man has 14 wins already and has earned his spot in the rotation for the playoffs. especially over a guy with a 5 ERA.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) 1) Hernandez was making his first start in a few weeks on a night when the ball was FLYING out of the park. Under those circumstances, he did fine. Don't look at him as a 5th starter, think playoffs. They won't be using 5 starters come playoff time, and you better believe a guy with his postseason track record(in NY, no less) is going to get one of those slots if he's healthy. I'd rather have him than 100% of #4 starters in MLB, especially in a playoff series. 2) Cotts won't ever be a starter because he only has 2 pitches, and neither of them are dominant. Same would go for Adkins you think el duque would start over buehrle, garland, garcia, or contreras? I say hello middle relief when post season comes, you dont bench an arm like one of those.

mines cooler because i didnt try so hard! and still, no one gives a s***.
