The other one was getting big and a few folks we're losing it. So a new thread. So post any newspaper stuff here or what you heard from the mail carrier.

At this point, it looks like it's Griffey or nothing for the Sox.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) FWIW, Borchard is not in the lineup tonight for the Knights. You know what that means! Go crazy people, it means go crazy!

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) Borchard is on the 40 man correct? yes.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:11 PM) I hope so, otherwise, I'm running for the hills.

QUOTE(palesox38 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) Any info on the possible Griffey trade? I was just on ESPN.com and under insider it said "Griffey To White Sox?". Now, I don't know if anyone has said anything about the article yet but if someone could provide some info it would be great. Please don't paste the article- maybe just some tidbits. 2 things. 1) See the other thread 2) ESPN Insider is crap, what they do is take newspaper articles and paste them. It's not Gammons with a rumor or something. In any case, they quote the article from the suntimes on Friday about NY not putting in a claim for him.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) haha, i thought the same. "When we were kids we played with sticks and were happy with it!" whoa... *backs away*

We are all in trouble when Steff sees this...

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) don't worry we had POGS remember that craze? Now we are talking. I was never any good though.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) According to Bruce, the 'White Sox are doing everything they can to get this deal done.' He said this towards the end of his talking points.... Started off by saying that that Griffey Jr. cleared waivers, and the White Sox could make a trade with the Reds, but then said that the Reds are for sale, and may not want to trade a marketable player like Griffey Jr, but then said Griffey Jr. and Kenny Williams both would like to make a deal.... Basically, his report was nothing new - it's going to be difficult to make a trade because of the sale of the Reds, the money involved, and then agreeing on players before finally going to Griffey to get his approval. Despite not knowing if the White Sox have actually talken with the Reds about this, being unaware of the players involved in a trade, according to Bruce Levine, the 'White Sox are doing everything they can to get this deal done.' LOL Thank you, that was the best way to describe it.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) Wow, you guys really run with a story, don't you. Earlier tonight, right before they called the game, he was on and said ge expects it to get done soon. Nothing new, Bruce still sux. I know, what BS.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) GRIFFEY CLEARED WAIVERS THANKS BRUCE YOU ARE SO INSIGHTFUL SOB.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) my brother was into that s***. remember willie/blum is 4 or 5 years behind us/"the glory days" Oh, I never knew he was younger.. I never heard or saw crazy bones, what we're they?

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) Now for some of the s***ty toys I got to play with as a youngin'. Crazy Bones? Remember I warned you, this s*** sucks. What the hell?

QUOTE(spiderman @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Apparently, Bruce Levine will have some 'new' info at about 10:20 PM. My guess is that he'll mention Griffey Jr. cleared waivers, and that the Sox are open to talking with the Reds, especially since Pods will be placed on IR. Yeah, that sounds about right.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) big wheels! good call i had one almost exactly like this That's the kind of thing that would get crapped on now. Parents would say kids are gonna try and do what they see on GTA... :headshake They we're cool.

This thread made me laugh so hard.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) anybody else have one of these? they were magnets and you could keep track of standings and stuff. No.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) Yes sir.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) I am sure this is just a tease to get more viewers for the 10 o clock show. It will probably just be a lot of "what Bruce thinks is going to happen." I'm sadly thinking the same, guess we'll know soon enough.

I might not get a chance to see this report, so if someone does please post a recap.

weak is all I can say to this. I'd rather see Timo.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) The Score doesn't know s***. Yep.
