QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) LMAO!!! I just had a conversation about that RO. Actually.. Jimmy Wynn was Jim's partner in the 4 some but after they all sit around and bulls*** and complain about how much $$ they didn't make

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Steff, I need to hang out with you and your husband...you guys rub some good elbows. Don't let her version fool you. They are professional stalkers. Jim was escorted off the course after trying to pull Fergie's putter. Ask Steff about the Neal Cotts restraining order.

I think people also underestimated what the presence of Frank Thomas in the line-up means for the other hitters.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) And from all reports this morning they are saying he is not moving. Yes, I read that too. It has nothing to do with money, either. It's the fact the owners feel their team is worth more $$$ with Junior when they sell it this fall.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) If the Cincinnati Reds want the Sox to assume a fat chunk of roughly $40 million owed Griffey through 2008, then pick up the bill. If the Reds are demanding the inclusion of hotshot outfielder Brian Anderson in the trade, along with two minor-league position players, then include him. Do not worry, Ken, about being snookered on Anderson, who sparked a seventh-inning rally Tuesday night with his first major-league hit and might become a star. Nor should Reinsdorf, who has made a fortune in sports and claims to ''dream'' about winning the Series, be in any sort of cost-conscious mode with so much at stake. Someone should explain to this idiot how trades work after July 31st Because NO ONE would claim Brain Anderson from the wire.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) :banghead Thank you. I think Kenny wants to do the deal and has a deal in place. But it's not in his control right now. (Reds ownership)

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Let's see here. We cannot win at home anymore. We can't win at Fenway. We can't beat Oakland. Vlad and K-rod are now healthy for Anaheim. Kenny will not find us another big bat. Um yeah...I really like our chances. I am now the official king of pessimism.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) I have a "lump" that doean't feel right and seems to be the source of the pain. I'll deal with it a few days and see how it goes. Thanks 562004 Maybe you got bit? You weren't in Jermaine Dye's bed, were you?

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Is she a writer? Or is she someone who started a blog and because of the talent she exhibited was asked to contribute elsewhere? And of course you're entitled to your opinion, just as others reserve the right to express their opinion of yours.However if you want your views to hold any weight then providing more than just stating something is stupid and ridiculous would help. She is a professional writer. She is a published novelist. And if she were writing about the Sox, you'd love her. Try to look past team issues and see talent for what it is.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:05 AM) Lennon/McCartney [/thread] Now McCartney wrote with Wings and Lennon did that Imagine thing... When did they write together??

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Uh, Chris Singleton, anyone? ::crickets::

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 07:39 AM) ...seems more like a Scooby-Doo reference. Homer is referencing Scooby... ugh...I'm a geek.

Congrats!! No more living out of the van and solving mysteries now. (Simpsons reference)

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 06:58 AM) The Sox are a measley 74-39 36-22 at home and 38-17 on the road. 65 of those games were decided by less than 2 runs. And in those games the Sox are 44-21 Pretty awesome!! I don't know if you've heard, Steff... But Ozzie is a stupid f***ing manager, this team is only swinging for homeruns, and Ken Griffey Jr doesn't like us. So who cares about your stats!

I thought this was a great article on her acceptance of our season. She is a talented and witty writer. Enjoy, I did. http://www.salon.com/news/sports/2005/08/09/hate/index.html

If you watched the highlights on MLB.com, the Yankee announcers fell in LOVE with Aaron during the course of the series! It was a pleasure to listen too.

QUOTE(Cleats67 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) Sorry to post this again, but I am really bummed I am maybe going to miss the Yankees when they come in. I have 2 tix for 8/20 (sec. 146, row 21, seats 3 and 4) that I would really like to trade for some lower level tickets for Friday night's game, 8/19. Before I give them away, is there anyone that would trade with me? Please PM me and we can get together for the details. Thanks Is Joe Randa available, too?

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I said "This will be a sickening loss".... however it's only a sickening loss if we actually lose... Of course I guess I should be praising Ozzie's brilliant strategies huh? We won this game in spite of Ozzie tonight, not because of him... He better put a better lineup on the field tomarrow... I don't ever want to see Timo hitting 5th again... I care too much about this team to want to see them lose games like this when they should of been in the bag... They won... and now I can breathe easier... but to say this wouldn't of been a sickening loss would mean you were in screaming denial... 73 wins Ozzie is a GREAT manager. PERIOD. END OF STATEMENT. Should Dustin come in earlier. Yes. But for people to assume we will lose immmediately and call Ozzie a "stupid f***ing manager" is outregeous.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) This is going to be a sickening loss... This makes me just sick... And here is where you said we'd lose.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Yeah you'd want to keep all the die hards away.... I never said we we're going to lose... But it Ozzie's stupid managing cost us this game... it would of been a sickening loss.... MARTE IS NOT A CLOSER! Now I think I realized why I don't post here that often anymore... ...and Marte is dangerously close to blowing the game as I type this... That's exactly what you said.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) This is going to be a sickening loss... This makes me just sick... Please stay away when we win the division then. Obviously, this isn't the team for you.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Our manager is a f***ing idiot. Even if we win this game, he's put us in a situation to lose. WORST POST OF THE YEAR :headshake um...72 wins Also, I don't see Ozzie pitching. :headshake

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Meh, it's like a big jumping thingy. The look on his face was priceless, admit it. Pray for a shooting and then it'll be like a Three Stooges film!!! :headshake

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) Yes sir! Way to keep the ball down Cliffy! For better or worse, it's Hermanson's time to shine. What's with the negitivity??

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) absolute intentional walk sheff! COWARDS!!! Go Angry Cliff!!!
