No surprises here.

Also, I think Blum could be back based on what type of money he wants. This year he made 575k so if he would take a similar deal I'd keep him but with his family on the West Coast it could also be a longshot.

Guys who are included in your plan who may not be back: - Timo Perez, especially at that price - El Duque I believe will be traded, unless the Sox feel he can be a good setup man. If he stays, I could see Vizcaino being traded - Marte has a good shot of being gone Also, Garland won't get 8 million in arbitration. A better guess would be between 6 and 7 million. Everett won't be back and Thomas WILL be back on an incentive based 2 year deal. Ozuna and Harris won't get increases as large as you indicate either.

Any chance we see a champions wallpaper for Goldy himself?

Thanks for helping to get the title JR, although I still think you are making a fortune on the club. Hopefully you'll do the right thing and re-sign PK and also add some more payroll this offseason to keep improving what is already an outstanding club.

The demand for a Red Sawx DVD set with all of the games is a lot higher than a DVD set with all of the Sox playoff games. Nothing against the White Sox fan base, myself included, I just don't see a set like that coming out for us. The Red Sawx had a lot larger national following and it was covered a lot heavier than our run. Just my two cents, but I don't see a chance for any official release of a DVD set of all of our playoff games.

Of course, I'll have to mow now. We have another month or so of growing season down here. Talk about not having a life...

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) Turner Field is a really nice park I was there in 2002 and watched the Sox get pounded for three games but I did have a really good time. Same here, boy was that brutal. I remember one game we lost 15-2 and the only 2 we scored were on Konerko solo hr's. BRU-TAL.

Nice pics. Thanks SF1

I'm not beating on you, just encouraging you, like everyone else recently, to read through the board before starting a topic for the 100th time.

QUOTE(toasty @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) i'm sittin in palehose thread.... how am i gonna see your reply in the help section if im not looking there?? I made the reply in PHT, then moved the thread. It's really not hard. We don't just delete threads. Chances are, if it's gone, its moved somewhere. Standard procedure around here since the summer of 2002.

QUOTE(toasty @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 01:26 AM) there was an snl thread there is the leno thread was looking for other info.... having it in one place would be good tooo Reading past the first page of the board would be good too.

QUOTE(toasty @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 01:24 AM) it would be nice if you would actually say what you were doing before you do it (how was i to know where they went? looked like ya just deleted em) combine them threads if you didnt already thanks, btw Read in your 2nd post it said I was moving them.

Dude, post it in the help forum, that's where I put your other threads.

Read through the boards, there are plenty of other topics started already.

Moving this to the help forum.

HAPPY B-DAY!!!!!!!!!!

http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/a...on_schedule.jsp I'm guessing these games would be played at Turner Field, but who knows. Just thought this was of interest because it's not on Whitesox.com.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 11:45 PM) This is the thread...... He said that in response before I merged this thread. 05champs started his post as a new thread originally before I killed it and moved it here.

I have an email out to Brooks right now and I plan on posting his response when I receive one. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the updated stats. Is anyone pitching good out there because those ERAs are still high.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) I still don't want Joe Crede. 6 more months of crappy hitting doesn't thrill me. He had a great post-season, but he still has never proved to anyone that he can sustain it for an entire year. That combined with pretty much every girl I know thinking he is hot gets old very, very quick. I know I'm wrong on this right now, but I'm going to continue thinking the White Sox can get better production from 3B until Crede proves his worth for six months. Pure comedy here folks.
