Mr. Showtime

No Carlin, Apu? Some people may consider our President to be there unintenional favorite stand up comedian....

Ray here again would be interesting. Before he was always counted on to be the lead off guy and run. I think now with Rowand, Uribe, and Pod at the top he can be slid down in the order and he can focus on hitting.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jan 8, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) Has their been any reports in Chicago about Ray coming back to Chicago... Here in San Fran they think the deal will go through. One of the host on KNBR thinks that the Giants wants Damaso Marte in return Nothing here, Steff is our insider though, and if she hear's something she'll let us know. Ugh, I like Ray, but I'm not giving up a left handed reliever like him in a trade like this.

Hell no.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 8, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) - Supposedly there is a rift between Durham and KW, maybe Steff can add details Steff is going on a vactation, but regarding this Durham situation I'm told there is some smoke here. They have inquired about him, no other information that than at this time.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) A couple years ago I made one of these, Jerry Manuel (Showtime's old name) as "The Postman" (K. Costner movie). I can't find it now but I'm sure somebody can hijack it. I meant to bring this up to you when we we're talking on aim the other day. They stole your gimmick.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 7, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) On whitesox.com they have what they call the Soxfest final roster. Hawk, Rooney and Farmer are listed, but no DJ. Of course, it really means nothing, he may have personal business to attend to, but it is interesting considering all the talk about Stone. Didn't see that. Very interesting then, because usually he's on stage with Hawk.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 7, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) and talked about what? i am sure not the Whitesox. I didn't hear the interview but I guess he was talking about liking Chicago, and wanting to work here still. Sounds like a simple comment is being taken too far. I still want to know who is reporting that DJ will not be at Soxfest, I saw that on WSI, but no source was given.

There was a thread about this on WSI, I'm not sure who reported DJ isn't going to be there though. I like DJ, but would love to see Stone, in the booth.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 7, 2005 -> 05:42 PM) Also, why does it say cwsguy406 started this thread when he did not post until like the ninth post? Error i take it. There we're two threads stating that AJ would be on ESPN, so I would assume they we're merged.

Scott Merkin of whitesox.com will be on at 4:20EST...

Saw this on WSI, Les Grobstein is reporting that the Sox have designated Burke for assignment. Les' Page

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Pre-9/11, I mailed a burger back to Burger King that wasn't "My Way" -- First I left it to rot in my buddies cooler, which he had left in the clubhouse at our summer job. So after about a week, I put the once-bitten burger in a shoe box, wrapped it nondescriptly in brown paper, eclosed an explicative filled note, my reciept which specifically read "plain" and shipped it back to the store which I purchased it from. -- About 2 weeks later I got a voucher in the mail good for $10 at any Burger King in the nation. -- Incedently, that location no longer prints it's adress on the reciept. Way to ruin it for everyone else, Cheat...

No love for Wendy's fries?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) I like the way you think Ian. Were still debating whether to send in our season ticket deposit or not. The problem is we really think they are going to have a fun team to watch this upcoming season. What you have is much better than what I came up, shocking! The West will be interesting to watch this season with the new look A's, and the M's won't be as horrible this year either.

Jason, in honor of the Angels name change, you should change you're profile location to: Califonia of the United States or something like that.

I was going to ask when will Bruce have an update, but I see this thread is from yesterday. Seems like it's from a week ago with all these posts.

Common now, I can't be the only person who saw the title and thought this was about Ben Gordon....

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) Thought i did, do you know who it was? I'm pretty sure it was HAWK23. Anyone is who is anybody knows the "wooo" is from Ric Flair.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) They should have won by 20-25. That is how bad the hornets are. Also, wtf was with rodney rogers hitting shots? Q, did you read the poster on the BBB boards asking who does the "woooo" sound effect that the Hornets? Sheesh, what a fool.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 06:06 PM) Sorry I apoligize. It was just a rant on the manufacters. I apoligize. It's just you read something like that and you can only come away with one thought and I don't need that type of mental image.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) We can do without the details, thank you very much. Yeah, I read that and had to stop and think about what all of that meant. When I realized what was being said I felt ill.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) Didn't Boras say he received offers from every team in the Beltran sweepstakes? Newsday was originally reporting that the Mets offered $119 million. Boras will say anything, don't trust a word that jag off says. It was on the front page of MLB.com a few hours ago. Not a big deal, but I still don't think he'll sign with the Mets, they are awful.
