Thanks for the merging, SS2k4. For some reason my search feature doesn't work all of the time and I didn't feel like scrolling through every page to find each thread.

Not surprising, I don't blame the guy, it's a better team and they most definitely offered more than we did if I had to guess.

As long as everyone is still going to wander around the bar Saturday night, sounds good to me. Only problem might be coordinating a time where everyone isn't either waiting for autographs or in a Q&A.

Yep, I'll do it up.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you.

None of them as much as Paul Davis, right Steve? Just kidding Illini fans, even though I am a MSU fan, I'll give ya some major props on that nice squad ya got going on.

I think it will be decent, about the same as Bracey Wright. Neither of them will be stars, but solid players. NBAdraft.net has Williams going 12th in next yr's draft, Wright going 20th. (2006)

Is there an option for none?

Good move by the court.

There were no talks.

Or Mets, hmm Dodgers too

Stats stringer would be fun Beastly, you should try for that.

This is being moved to SL&P.

You make a good point. Just because we can't get Randy, I don't think we should aide the Yankees in getting him by offering Konerko and Garland to get Javier Vazquez. I think we should just stand pat honestly. We have five guys who can go out there and give you a chance each time they pitch. No way I'd want to risk a bat like Konerko for what may only be a small upgrade in the rotation with Vazquez. Now if we could get Randy for PK/Garland, I may be for it, but only if we can extend Randy beyond this season. Otherwise, no way.

If I had to guess: Buehrle - 17-18 Garcia - 17-18 Contreras - 14 Garland - 13 Hernandez - 13-14

There's a publishing fee, of course.

Hell no, it didn't work, it kept dying. That may be part of the reason I was about on the ground with laughter. I don't recommend trying it at home.

You mean we didn't get Wally Backman back?

This is really not an issue that is going to be hashed out in public. There is no real reason for a public explanation of this, it's not consistent with the pattern of the way things are run. The most important thing is that things are taken care of fairly and in private. Bringing stuff into public only opens this to more discussion, which there is really nothing to discuss. Again, he is not banned, he will have a chance to return and that is that.

Let's not get carried away.

After talking to my source, he said he has heard about this video for over a year but nothing has ever come out. The source said that he has dismissed this pretty much as an urban legend and he doesn't feel that a video actually exists at all.

Just to clarify, he was not banned. He was suspended. This is not going to be discussed further than that in this thread as this is handled by admins and mods of the site.

Thanks a lot Mike. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and I enjoy being a part of this great community that is Soxtalk! May you all be safe and have a great time with friends and family! Can't wait to see some of you at Soxfest. Alex

I thought it was a good article and I definitely agree that a 2 yr, 9 mil per extension for Pauly would be a good offer.

I was actually going to help them get out until I saw them bring out the lawnmower. Then I realized that no person who tries to clear their snow covered driveway with a lawnmower should be on the roads under these conditions.
