Nice cw, hopefully that will be a good luck charm for us, and you get all of the credit!

Kinda like watching a train wreck, you just can't turn your head.

You can hardly call him Harry Carrey, he still knows the players names, and doesn't show up drunk.

It is in this thread. http://www.soxtalk.com/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=7276

Look at the Tigers...Oh wait, they still kick our asses on a regular basis.

Unfortunately I think you are right. Those numbers aren't even close. i could take a survey of people on this board that could name the sox starting rotation. I bet you'd have about 95% of em. i could then report that "95% of people can name the white sox starting rotation" riiiiight. you can get whatever stat you want by controlling you sample your right... besides i highly doubt that half the female population is lesbian...........if that were true then you guys would have a hard time getting dates...... Well that could also explain somethings for some of the guys on here...

Interesting stuff. Which to me begs the question, if it isn't an acronym that describes the game, should we rename it something that reflects this board? Renaming is always a possibility. Any ideas? We could rename it after the contest where people pick a white sox to hit for the cycle and people keep picking Paul Konerko and Frank Thomas for some god awful reason, the Pick and Predict.

Are these Forbes #'s or MLB's numbers?

Seattle Storm standout Sue Bird on Monday canceled a wager made earlier this season with a sports radio talk show host, who had proposed to spank her on his program if she lost the bet. Bird, 22, apologized to fans, saying in a team statement that she made the bet "as a good-natured way to draw the radio talent and listeners to Storm games.'' After realizing the bet had offended some people, Bird decided to call it off. The wager hinged on whether Bird's assist-to-turnover ratio would turn out higher than 2-1 at the end of the season. As the bet stood, Bird would have had to cry, "Harder, Daddy, harder'' during the spanking if she lost. If Bird won the bet, program host Mitch Levy would have had to buy season tickets to Storm games next year. "She did it in fun and she did it with the best of intentions,'' said Bird's agent, Jimmy Gould. "She's terribly upset about it. She regrets it. She hopes people understand.'' Gould said Bird "learned a good lesson'' and wants to take responsibility for her mistake. "She didn't stop to think about the impact she has on younger people and that she's expected to be more clear and thoughtful when making a statement like that, even though it was done in fun,'' he said. Bird was on pace to win the wager: She's the WNBA's top playmaker with 137 assists and 63 turnovers in 20 games. The bet drew criticism, including a comment from state Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle, who teaches women's studies at the University of Washington. "It helps feed into the images of violence against women and stereotyping,'' Kohl-Welles told Seattle Times sports columnist Steve Kelley. "I don't condemn her. I appreciate that she doesn't have the experience in life that other women have had. But this could be very hurtful. Not just to the WNBA, but to other women and girls.'' In the team statement, Bird said: "As genuine as my intentions were, I realize the negative effect that this bet has had and would like to apologize.'' Storm vice president Karen Bryant supported Bird's decision. "The Storm is focused on maintaining its role as a positive group of female role models, specifically a team of talented and strong athletes,'' Bryant said. The Storm and other WNBA teams have had difficulty getting men age 18-35 to come to games since the league was founded in 1997. That's the demographic Bird said she was considering when she agreed to the bet. "He (Levy) symbolizes that guy the league is trying to attract,'' Bird told The Times. "He's talking to that guy every morning. I believe that if I can get him in a seat to attend a game, then maybe his opinion will change and he'll talk about it on the air.'' Efforts to reach Levy or executives at KJR-AM by telephone were not successful Monday evening.

Just curious, why a 5 for the "local scene"? As far as bars/restaurants/nightlife is concerned, I've never seen much of a "local scene" around USCell. I would call downtown part of the local scene. It is only a mile or two away. If they are only refering to the immediate area, then definately a 1.

Here is the ESPN Insider about Giles. Notice who he can be traded to..

The other problem would be that Giles has already said once that he would exercize his no trade clause if the Sox were involved.

Wow. Is it just me, or did it seem MUCH worse than that? He had the 2nd worst run support in the AL at one point, that is why he was struggling at first. Plus in May he had that awful start against the Twins (9 or 10ER) that totally skewed his era for the month.

Borchard isn't that expensive right now. His big expense was his $5.3 mil signing bonus, and that has long since been paid.

The Pirates won't take anyone with a salary, unless it is paid. They want prospects. We would have to give them guys like Jeremy Reed, Joe Borchard, Kris Honel, Neal Cotts, Jon Rauch, etc

So the question is who would you rather see, Roy Halliday or some AAA soft tossing RHP that the Jays call up at the last minute to face the Sox? (And death is not an option)

My question is WTF is Atlanta thinking? Big Dog for Terrell Brandon? Is KW moonlighting in the NBA?

Spreewell can't handle being the best player on a team, that is obvious to me.

You are just begging for a 5 game losing streak with a topic like this pinned! Way to tempt the baseball gods.
