The Beast

I've been wanting to see that fight again for a long time.

I agree. I don't care for it either.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) The last roster spot will either be Valdez, Ozuna, or one of the new catchers. I'd think Jamie is vying for that last spot. You don't bring Burke to soxfest and let him go to AAA Charlotte. Just my opinion because he stayed on the team longer than Borchard the other day.

I love Len Weiners guy's radio personalities on ESPN. I wonder if that would mean anything to television, not sure tho...

QUOTE(babybearhater @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) If you have nothing to say to defend your opinion and perspective than dont post buddy. Face it, we both know you wouldnt want nelson instead of the two righty set up men that we have. So your point is dead, and all you can do now is try and attack me instead of the topic. Which will never work. So make like chief illiniwek and fade away. OUT Dude, you got on Ian's ass about his whole Nelson post, so I wouldn't be talking...nice analogy, did your mother come up with that one for you? Aww, mommy's callin the shots for you now isn't she...?

Yesterday I was running downstairs to go upstairs and I hit my toe on the damn arcade thing we have...its a wonder its not dislocated...but it hurt like a b****.

For every Hideki Irabu there's a Jim Parque, right?

I like ESPN Radio because thats what I heard first. I thought the old afternoon show with Phil Simonsen and Lou Conellis was funny as hell...Jeromie the homie and that hot traffic chick was good...Peggy was on the show too and she had good insight. But I guess what I love is Dave Wills, Mac, Jurko and Harry...Carmen Defalco is a good anchor too...but thats just me, guys.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) Actually, no. Iguchi made 240,000,000 Japanese Yen last season which is equal to around $2.3 million U.S. Dollars. The article says that Iguchi's agent is asking for a 2-year, $6 million contract to come to the White Sox. That would be an increase in what he made last season unless of course some Japanese team offered him more money. It doesn't matter. He's Iguchi. He's good, he's going to make an impact with our ball club. Plus it makes Harris more expendable and forces him to compete at second base...should put a fire cracker up his ass to get going...and think of the versatility off the bench with Willie as a pinch runner. Ian's right tho, right on bud..

I think that had something to do with his kid IIRC...

That is a GREAT deal...take the risk Kenny...this is one you probably won't want to get away very quickly...

We attracted at least 12,000 people to last weekends SoxFest and raised over 110,000 for White Sox Charities.

I guess I can't get Sox/Cubs tickets this year. I got opening day tickets, but I prolly won't get to see the two teams play... Cuz i don't like those Ozzie/Minoso packages.

Response to Steff... Did you know who I was there? Because I was with my buddy Ian and you didn't say anything. Just curious

I am always amazed that they get construction done in time for the season. It really stunned me that they could get that upper deck done so fast. And the best thing is, its not like an expressway which is usually lengthy and crappily done, they do a nice job. Except I am a little upset that the scout seating will eliminate me getting autographs before the game near the dugout... Unless any of you know a better place...in which case I'd like and would advise you to tell me.

I'm just hoping we make a little run for Rich Aurilla...he could fill that void if we decide we don't want to bid for a MI. Also...Roberto Hernandez...welcome to Mike Jackson? Or no? Just have terrible memories.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Hey Ross, if you are interested in any other stuff, I have tons of stuff from Soxfests over the years. I would be more than willing to send it to this family. Great idea BTW. And really you should have introduced yourself. Yes I guess I should have, I'll see you at a game or two...it was kind of funny because I was shopping where you were shopping and you were looking at this sweater and u looked kind of clueless of what you wanted to get. Anywho, I got a jersey, and on the back is going a huge Thomas 35..

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) Ross, do yourself another favor, don't wear a name tag. quickman do yourself a favor, shut it, i control your wristbands

My mom sent a complaint about this that they didn't advertise this for soxfest on the news (ABC 7)

It was in an older thread...but basically they were talking about what the White Sox organization was doing for the communities on the holidays. There was a kid who has an illness and had his Frank Thomas picture burned in a house fire.

So I'm going to send this family some Thomas memorabilia because I feel for this poor kid. Maybe we could work on a donation some how here at soxtalk.com Just feel like giving back to make it better for the less fortunate.

I really like Paulie here. I think we should pay him what he's worth.

I was kiddin, but I was wearing a name tag...don't diss the nametag, yo!

QUOTE(Chisoxmatt @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) I used to post at that site and man, that insiderinfo is a nut job. He deserved it, he wastes everyones time with his bulls*** nonsense. He is a f***in dumbass and i probably would have done the same thing. Would I have gotten the same thing for me? I know some of u think that about me...I wore my name tag and was damn well proud of it.
