Mr. Showtime

I couldn't even fathom something like this from a White Sox perspective. Konerko, Garland, Sweeney and one of those 10 pitchers they wanted. The Sox would have to give up Lee and/or another prospect just to get this other pitcher. Madness.

Read the thread I posted about Arizona, Jason... For what it's worth, Stark said in his version of the story that friends close to Johnson say he is not interested in the White Sox.

Cheat posted the link to what Rosenthal said about Johnson, this is just mind blowing to me. I thought it deserved it's own thread. If this is what they're asking, they are in for some trouble. EDIT: Stark said Johnson would be willing to go to the Angels or the Cardinals. St. Louis won't play this game either. I could see the Angels, but they're focused on Beltran.

It was in today's Tribune. In a Question and Answer with Dave Van Dyk

Eh, don't let it get to ya Jim. This has been fun one way or the other.

That's silly, we know who that was! Classic episode....

This is like who shot JFK, tons of mystery!

I'm on the net a lot, so all these posts give me something to do. So I'm not complaning, just making a comment.

There's going to be a lot of posts when we actually sign someone... Sheesh, this is a huge thread.

3 years, 37.5 million is what he is being offered. It's on the front page of one of the NY papers. Never would see that here... This is a good Red Sox fan news site

Sorta. Kenny always talks about the 3 year board. Perhaps with the emergence of Rowand, they feel one of Anderson or Sweeney can be traded. I'm sure they'll resign Carlos, so 2 of the 3 outfield sports would then be filled.

This Gammons article was up a day or two before thanksgiving. I don't believe a word of it.

I noticed a couple of times the url had that index code attached to soxtalk.com over the weekend mahself.

Well, this is the time where Ozzie might be a factor. If Vasquez is traded he has the option of demanding a trade at the end of the 05' season, I can't see Texas wanting to make a deal and risk losing him, for sure the D-Backs won't take tht risk, the Sox have proven in the past they will take that risk.

There's people who can't get over the fact that Old Comiskey was knocked down, and they feel that bringing back green seats, it would bring back the memories.

Yeah, I can just delete a layer.

I thought of doing something along those lines. I was thinking of a banner with Johnson on it..

I don't mind it at all, we need more talk about me here.

Not a surprise by any means: Rosenthal reported this in his latest Inside Dish:

You mean you wouldn't go Hulk-a-mania on us? You know brother, with the big man upstairs and the millions of criticmaniacs watching our back brothers, I won't have to give out a dime brother.

Thanks, gang. Yeah, it took awhile, sometimes I run out of ideas.

Wait a few days and he'll be b****ing about the Bulls trading him....

I smell huge ratings for the rematch on Christmas Day, NBA will love that.

I didn't mean it as a payroll dump, just getting him off the team and opening up a spot.
