thank ya, i love that commercial for some reason.

That they play on the Tracy McGrady commercial where he's talking about taking people to school...Does anyone know?

Glad to see the site back and it's running well...Good work Jas and Heads getting it back up to par

Peter Gammons knows about as much as Mark Buehrle as I know about baking a cake, not a damn thing.

Just a note to Jas, quit trying to deal Jo Bo.

There is no way Foulke is ever coming back to the White Sox, case closed.

Konerko for Perez, yes. Lee for Perez, hell no. I'd rather trade Maggs for someone than Lee for Perez, which is just not a good deal for the Sox.

Curt Schilling Yankees Red Sox Nov. 12 - The Boston Herald reports that Schilling has agreed to speak with the Yankees about terms of a trade that would bring the workhorse right-hander to the Bronx to finish his career. Previously Schilling had waffled over his willingness to waive his no-trade clause and accept a possible deal to the Yankees. The Herald went on to speculate that the Yankees and Diamondbacks could be working on a three-team deal that would include first basemen Nick Johnson and Richie Sexson, with Johnson going to Milwaukee and Sexson to Arizona. Previously, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch mentioned a possible three-way deal that included the Cardinals, not the Brewers. Schilling and Jim Edmonds would go to the Yankees, Jeff Weaver and Alfonso Soriano to the Diamondbacks and Nick Johnson and Danny Bautista to the Cardinals. Magglio Ordoñez Angels? Nov. 12 - The Chicago Tribune reports the White Sox have begun quietly shopping Ordoñez after talks regarding a contract extension bogged down. Ordoñez will earn $14 million next season, then become a free agent. The White Sox reportedly don't believe they can afford to re-sign him. One possible suitor the paper mentions is Anaheim, whose new owner is looking to make a splash and, according to the Tribune's sources, might be willing to deal closer Troy Percival or center fielder Darin Erstad. Odalis Perez Cardinals White Sox Nov. 12 - A report in the L.A. Times says Perez is high on the shopping lists of both the Cardinals and White Sox, with St. Louis reportedly willing to deal outfielder Jim Edmonds for Perez. Chicaco is said to be offering either left fielder Carlos Lee or first baseman Paul Konerko, who began his career with the Dodgers. Billy Koch Mets Nov. 12 - The Mets reportedly are pursuing Koch to be their closer, hoping the combination of manager Art Howe and pitching coach Rick Peterson can help Koch recover the form that enabled him to save 44 games for Oakland in 2002. After being traded to Chicago, Koch's number dropped dramatically. He saved only 11 games and had a 5.77 ERA for the White Sox last season. The Chicago Tribune cites a White Sox source that confirmed the teams are talking, with the Mets reportedly pushing Chicago to take Roger Cedeño and his bad contract in return. Alex Rodriguez Red Sox Orioles? Angels? Yankees? Nov. 12 - Cold water from all angles doused Tuesday's report in New York Newsday that the Rangers, Red Sox and Angels had discussed a possible three-team trade that would have sent Rodriguez to Boston, Nomar Garciaparra to Anaheim and David Eckstein and a few pitchers to Texas. Multiple reports out of the GMs meetings in Phoenix quoted representatives of all three teams, plus A-Rod's agent Scott Boras, dismissing the report as pure fiction. However, those same reports acknowledge that A-Rod trade rumors are the hottest topic in the lobby of the Biltmore, despite a firm denial from Rangers GM John Hart. "We have the player, we like the player, and we're going to retain the player," Hart told a small cluster of reporters, according to the Boston Globe. "I don't want this to be the Alex Rodriguez watch here as we go along, because that's simply not the case." Richie Sexson Diamondbacks Dodgers Nov. 12 - Arizona's interest in Sexson apparently is such that they're considering a three-way trade with the Brewers and Yankees that would send Curt Schilling to New York and Sexson to the Diamondbacks. Sexson is scheduled to make $8.6 million next season, and the Brewers suddenly are facing a big-time cash crunch. Brewers GM Doug Melvin told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he hasn't been ordered to trade Sexson or outfielder Geoff Jenkins, but the reality is the team likely cannot afford to keep both players and still remain under its projected salary budget for 2004. Reports of the possible three-way deal with the D-Backs and Yankees indicate New York would be willing to send first baseman Nick Johnson to the Brewers, where he would replace Sexson. Previous reports indicate the D-Backs would be willing to send Milwaukee three or more players from among a group that includes infielder Junior Spivey, first baseman Lyle Overbay, outfielder Danny Bautista, pitchers John Patterson and Oscar Villarreal and catcher Chad Moeller. Jim Edmonds Dodgers Yankees Nov. 12 - The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Edmonds' list of teams to which he'd approve a trade under the terms of his limited no-trade clause include the Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Yankees, Diamondbacks, Braves and Rangers. Coincidentally (or not), two of the teams said to be pursuing Edmonds in recent trade talks are the Dodgers and Yankees. L.A. reportedly is willing to deal pitchers Odalis Perez or Guillermo Mota, while the Yankees were said to be discussing a three-way deal that would bring Edmonds and Curt Schilling to New York. With the Cardinals looking for pitching this offseason, the Dodgers reports might have some credence.

I wanna update my av, guess I'll have to wait...

Looks like all that's going on around here is you nominate me and i'll nominate you sorta things. So I guess in the spirit of one of my all-time favorite posters, I'm nominating HSC.

Yes, you sure will. 2004, 2005, 2006, that's three years of good use for ya.

End of 2006.

How far did Illinois go in the tourney last year? Just wondering? They may have talented players but the past few years have shown me they know nothing about playing together as a team and that is evident the past few years when they've had great players (Cook, Frank Williams) and have been totally overhyped and have gone nowhere when it counts in March. On the contrary, Michigan State has won a national title, gone to the Final Four in 1999, 2000 and 2001 and the Elite 8 last season. Despite the fact that there are a lot of Illinois fans on this board, I'm gonna have to call you out on this one. And on the speculation that they will be weak up front, have you ever seen an Izzo team that plays anywhere near the way Indiana plays inside. Indiana plays soft inside and all of their big guys are afraid of contact, which has pretty much been true for Indiana for a long time. I am from Indiana (I actually went there for 2 years) and comparing Indiana last year to Michigan St this year is totally off base. While they may be inexperienced up front, they'll lead the Big 10 in rebounding as usual and grind it out against inferior teams like usual and also win their share against the big time teams. Mark it down, they will win the Big 10 this year and will be at least a 2 seed in the tourney.

Hawk is the reason I had to get the mute button on my remote fixed.

Please make my day by posting pictures of Paris Hilton.

None of them are particularly special, but I guess I'd pick Kate out of em....

I've heard him on Braves games on FSN.

They couldn't even make the Final 4 with Iverson, Williams and Harrington. They are NIT bound and possibly no postseason at all.

Guess you've never heard of Brandon Cotton. Ager, Hill, Torbert, Brown, Cotton. 5 guards that would start for any team in America. Flat out sick.

While this may be true, don't be so sure that he is returning. This is his last chance to get a good payday and a chance to play everyday somewhere else and if the opportunity is offered, I say he takes it. Call me crazy, but I don't think he'll be back on the Sox next season. And in terms of Ventura, that's not gonna happen IMO either. Only time will tell...

Could be worse, the topic could be pinned....

Voted for Roons and Farmio, but not Hawk. Only way I'd vote for him is if it meant he'd retire. Sometimes I just wish he'd be GAWN! In fact, if I had to pick between Hawk staying with the Sox or Mariotti staying at the Sun Times, I'd spare Mariotti.

Where will the White Sox finish next season under Ozzie Guillen? World Series champions 2064 votes (29%) AL Pennant winners 757 votes (11%) AL Central Division champions 2296 votes (32%) AL Wild Card winners 335 votes (5%) Out of the playoffs, again. 1624 votes (23%) 7076 people have voted so far Not to be pessimistic, but 2,064 people must be drinking some funky coffee in the morning.
