  1. It always amazes me that no team has taken more points from Detroit over the past 4 years than the damned Hawks. How the hell does that happen???
  2. Yeah it was up $5-6 in after hours, while they just crushed JPM. I wonder how this will compare to the rest of the worlds big banks, and if the FTC will allow this merger to happen.
  3. I'm not talking about wreckless spending. I am talking about investing in the team. It wouldn't take much of an increase in payroll to excite this town. Heck if he went out and signed the right name here and there, USCF would be full all of the time. I am telling you in this market, and with the underutilization of the White Sox brand name, they are a huge investment op, and simply a name like Trump would add 5000 people a night to attendance.
  4. Forbes #'s are much more respectible IMO. This is a national business publication who's job it is to bring investors reliable #'s to base their investments on. The numbers that MLB releases are PR ploys used to attempt to get concessions from the players union. I know which seems the most believable to me.
  5. I thought it was "Can't Pass Again"? Anyway, I guess this would be the one time of the year, being relatively poor isn't all that bad Still I wouldn't mind writing that big tax check if it meant I was making a whole s***load of money either
  6. LOL the sad thing is we probably played most of the same music on our shows
  7. OH I suppose you know someone with the Bears too
  8. Like I said earlier I think the Sox would be a prime takeover target if this were the normal business world. They are so underutilized in the 3rd biggest market in the country. There would be a big chance to make a ton of money quickly. I don't think any other market in the US could offer the potential that an excited Chicago could.
  9. It was just announced on MSNBC tv.
  10. Some of them didn't get replaced after the Great Server Crash of '03.
  11. He is banned from international play for two years, and his penalty from MLB? Nothing. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=1707589
  12. I am going to say 76-86 and 3rd place.
  13. Since there isn't anything else to do today... If no major changes take place during the rest of the off season, what will the White Sox record be in 2004?
  14. So my question is, do we spend all year adding to this thread, or do we start a whole new one?

  16. I gotta imagine that Trump wouldn't get into baseball just to make money. With his ego he would be looking to kick Steinbrenner and everyone else's asses. The payroll where ever he takes over would have to go up. And you have got to imagine that an underutilized team like the Sox would be a great target for an investor. He could buy this team and have it worth $500 million in a few years.
