QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) I love it. This is gonna be a great year... IRISH

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Sep 3, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) I am a bit slow most of the time. But after about 5 times keyed into my cackalator this still adds up to 2/22 guaranteed . right?!? 2M buyout

You gotta remember Pitt automatically sucks because of the Wanny factor.

Iowa's gonna beat the spread in a minute or so... 28-0 in the first quarter.

22 BTW

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) You sure about that?? I was almost positive he was signed through next season. EDIT: Yeah Cheat, I'm pretty certain Viz is under contract for next season. No he was given his 6th year of Arb contract that was it. He could be back, but he's not currently signed.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) It's going to be tough though Jim. Everyone in the rotation is going to be back and everyone in the bullpen is going to be back. Now I think most of us here believe Bmac is going to be in the rotation as well so most likely the Duke or Jose will be gone, then there is also probably a chance either Damaso or Viz get traded since they both have some decent trade value. If Viz is traded in a deal where another reliever isn't brought in then yes Baj would have a chance, other then that it really is going to be hard for him. Viz = FA

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) are there infomercials for this fine product yet? Yeah, but the only one I've seen was when I was drunk one weekend at about 2 AM on one of the local access channels. It makes pancakes and fish too!!!

Hot Dogs for Everyone!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Dont they play fewer games in Japan, maybe he needs more rest to keep him fresh!!! Or Iguchi could just use this if he's got that not-so-fresh feeling.

White Sox - Timo + Leo = Undefeated, World Series Title!

BWAHAHA

Dopetastic Gene Honda Sweetness

Leo for Prez!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) What I'm thinking is along with a $12M per would be atleast 4 years. If it were 2 years $24M, I might just pull the trigger. In my dream world, I imagine a deal like this getting worked out. 2006: $10M 2007: $12M 2008: Player option $12M; Team Option $14M; Buyout $2M 2009: Player option $14M; Team Option $15M; Buyout $3M That would be a guarateed 2/$24M. The Sox could say they offered him 4/48, with a guaranteed 2/24.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) I love Pauly. Just not a $12M Pauly. I hope he's back next year, just not with a ridiculous contract. I'm fine with $12M a year pauly. I just don't want to give him a long term deal. I know he won't stand up to the wear and tear of 162+ games for much longer. 2 years with mutual options for 3 and 4 would be fine with me. Noting guaranteed beyond 2 though.

5'11" 190" isn't that small. -- He's not going to get any taller by eating more. His pic is on the front page of BA... He hardly looks McCarthylike skinny.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) That IS fair. Timo has a way of coming up with huge hits at huge times in HUGE situations. Gload...does not. Not ever. EVER. Gload batted .400 w/ RISP last year too.

The Barons had a bunch of double headers in august.

FWIW, I believe the Sox control Ross' rights next season. His ship hasn't sailed yet, but the reservations have been made. What we really need is a few more guys with Z's in their last names who can't hit for s***. World Series here we come.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Well New Orleans will probably play at LSU for home games from what I've read and heard. As far as the Hornets, I think I was hearing St. Louis or KC. LSU is talking about having no home games until possibly November.

It has nothing to do with the play of late. School is back in session. = 0 families & limitted College age Kids.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) a.) Bears game. Sad, I know, that more people would rather go to a preseason football game, but this town loves it's football. b.) I doubt everyone has their minds on sports right now... c.) School is back in session. -- How many college age kids are there here who would have been at the game tonight. How many families are staying at home because the kids have school the next day.... ------------ 2 on nobody out, Sox fail to score. Hawk calls it a bad break... Um batting 3 players with a combined 0 HRs back-to-back-to-back is not a bad break Hawk. It's called stupidity.
