112 days until pitchers and catchers report.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 05:37 PM) Seems he died a Devil Rays fan. We can always leave it to you to get your word in, no matter what it is. Grow up dude, seriously. You aren't making any friends. Anyhow, RIP Mr. Lopez. Glad you lived to see a White Sox World Series Winner. Prayers and thoughts to your family.

Uh, thanks, but no thanks on the "Rally Perry."

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) BTW, with under 300 career posts, it doesnt look like you had much to say on any subjects, bighurt2719. Or maybe he just hasn't spammed 1,000 posts since joining just 4 months ago.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) yeah, where's sox-r-us?? i just want to see his acknowledgment of his advocating that trade. there were some others too, i think ozuna wanted to get castilla too. Time for these guys to either MAN up or GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, I think sox-r-us was the main Vinny Castilla apologist. BOW down now, Vinny Castilla sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who advocated trading Crede to get that turd should be banned. Also the Chavez people were quite comical as well. I can proudly say I never gave up on Crede, even though I got pissed at him a lot, I always believed in Joe.

Sox n Bears..... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats and welcome aboard!

I know they play at Cincy June 16,17,18 next yr and I'll be at all 3 games. Also Jas, if you wanna come to Louisville for that series and go to the games with me, you'll have a bed to sleep on and a ride to all of the games. Its about 70 miles from my house to the stadium in Cincy.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) and he used to juice, so i have to hold that against him. :headshake :headshake :headshake :headshake

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) He can't throw. And that makes him a bad player because he has a below average arm? .316, 10 hr and 75 RBI for a leadoff hitter seems pretty damn good to me. Not saying that he's a fit here, he's certainly not, but the guy is a perennial all-star and I loved him as a player when he was on KC and Oakland. Now that he is on Boston I don't care much for him but he is still a great player.

I don't see why everyone thinks he's a bad player, quite frankly he is a stud IMO, he just doesn't fit with this team. Someone please explain to me how Damon isn't a good player.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) CF is a must, A-row OPS is pretty low for his position, but I hope he can bounce back. I think its proven that 3B is pretty much set, unless you want to take a chance with Mueller. No way, Crede is staying.

Im gonna enjoy this at least until the Fest and not talk about next year.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Well I think there are going to be changes for sure. THis year even, there weren't as many free bank signings and appearances (of course the stars are paid to be there but the fan doesn't pay). I remember getting Marky, Lee, Maggs, etc. at these types of things. I think that each player will now realize that they can cash in quite a bit and the prices are goingh up. They won't hold at this level, which is crazy. I know some will buy these because they want instant gratification or to buy one now because they feel tushed to do so with Christmas coming up. I hope that the guys don't change their ST signing habits. Those prices for a Buehrle ball are real high. You can still get one from mounted memories at a lot cheaper price and it's an official ball and with a Mounted memories COA. Of course I already have 3 MLB balls signed by Mark, so I would never buy one. I just don't see the sense in buying an autograph unless its a guy that is just that tough of a sign.

Of those guys I already have Buehrle, Rowand, Konerko, Pods and Garland. And I didn't pay a penny for any of them and I never will. I still maintain that Soxfest and ST are the best 2 places to get autographs. I believe Saturday fest was sold out last year and I was still able to get into most lines, so I think that'll be the case again this year if you know how to work the system properly.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) 6 years? Yikes, that's a pretty long contract. Where did you hear this figure? Heard it mentioned a few places, most recently it was reported as a figure from someone close to the organization on ESPN.

Latest I heard was 6 years and 72 million, a Tejada type deal.

Everett.... HE GONE!

Holy s*** that's awesome guys. Wish I could have gotten in on that.

QUOTE(valponick @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 04:01 AM) Not sure if anyone is interested but I am making a set of DVD's that has the HDTV rips of the games with Ed and John's calls over it. I need to get in on that. Let me know man. I gotta have that.

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!! WHITE SOX WORLD SERIES WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY IT SOXTALK, YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BEEN A MAGICAL SEASON AND I LOVED SHARING IT WITH ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!! MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) Freddy was indeed at Soxfest last year, however I think he only had one session for like 250 autos. When is this show?? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong again. Thanks for playing.

QUOTE(JCarver27 @ Oct 25, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) attention those who said: "its over". You're officially not fans anymore. get the f*** out.
