I'll take Pablo and Willie over Tony G. Both are cheaper and wouldn't let a crucial ground ball cross them up in a big game. He is an okay player, but personally I want Pablo to be our main utility guy.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) Of course it isn't news. Just the first time its been acknowledged by KW and Ozzie. Move it or kill it if you like. No biggie. I wasn't directing it at you specifically, really towards the Trib. It deserves to stay, although everyone knew it was coming.

This really isn't news. Expect Frank to the A's in the next few days. Thread already started in Trade Winds.

Good win for Michigan St, 77-70 over Boston College.

IU 78, Kentucky 63. Get ready folks.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) Gammons didnt exactly say that. It was more like things he sees as a good fit. He makes a lot of those statements. Frank is nowhere near ready and with his health in doubt, I would be surprised to see a deal for more than one year. Either way, it will be sad to see him go, and I wish him the best. You must have seen a different report. He said Frank IS in good shape, met with the Athletics and he sees a deal getting done. He was on ESPN News just after 5 PM eastern time with Steve Phillips. Reynolds, Ravech and Kruk were in the studio.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) for those who still think the sox are in the running for pierre. whatever.... Just giving you some ribbing, relax.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) great interview...... just heard on the update that the cubs were supposed to address the media at 6 and have pushed it to later on. that a signing is imminent. it will deal with pierre. lugo, huff, or bradley. Who gives a s*** about the Cubs, this is Pale Hose Talk.

The Herd on ESPN Radio, although for you Chicagoans, he is not on up there due to the talentless Silvy and Carmen. Chicago would be much better suited getting the Herd.

Thanks, need to set the tivo now.

Best of luck to Carl. One of my favorite guys on the Sox the past few years. My favorite Carl moment is on the MLB DVD when he tells all of the Sox doubters to shut up.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) It's going to be f***ing weird to see him playing in a different uniform. Sure will, but you'll get over it once you see Jenks blow him away with some powder river heat (see Jeff Bagwell, Game 1 World Series, Top 8th, 2 outs.)

All I can say is that Brandon McCarthy won't be dealt for Juan Pierre. No f***ing way.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) another thing you have to expect out of uribe in the 2 hole is more fastballs....yes because he is in front of kong/thome... but also because pods is on first base.... with a fast base stealing threat one first a lot of pictures wont ellect to throw a lot of low and away breaking stuff - urbies most troubling pitch.... id also expect to see a lot of hit and runs I'd expect to see a lot of 2 run HRs.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) I don't think it would be equal defense. Every one of Uribe's tools (except speed) is better than Valido's. If Uribe continues to develop there is no reason he won't be the starting shortstop on the southside for a long time. Thank you, voice of reason. Uribe will be the white sox SS until he doesn't want to be.

Darren Dreifort of 2005. Good luck with that albatross deal Toronto.

Here comes an even tougher time for us beating the A's in Oakland.

Peter Gammons was just on ESPN News and said that Thomas has visited with the Athletics, he is in great shape and he feels that a deal with the A's will happen soon for Frank. Just an FYI for all interested. Best of luck goes out to Frank if this is indeed accurate reporting by Peter Gammons.

Steff, you and your family will be in my thoughts.

Not sure on a schedule. Best bet will be Soxfest. From 2005 who I have: Konerko, Crede, Podsednik, Rowand, Pierzynski, Dye, Hermanson, Thomas, Buehrle, Garland, Bajenaru, Borchard, Harris, Gload

Ozzie was sad that Rowand was dealt One of his favorite players Its not easy Trying to make the team better

Anderson has first shot at CF, but others will too

Uribe will bat 2nd
