The Beast

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) sounds like some good ol' TOOL - third eye would be a good song for you to listen to right now. Metal isn't what I'm listening to because that actually made me more depressed. I guess you could say I'm an emo/rock kid...(only emo because of my towns local band FIAD)

It all happens to the best of us, man. Personally, I haven't been happy since 2000. I've had some times that I've been happy, but bullies, ex-gf's and haters have ruined the teen part of my life. I refuse to drink or smoke, though I wouldn't say I nearly would have tried it. I believe that its immoral to do so, even if it is in the form of having a good time at a party. Pain in my life usually occurs once every two weeks and lasts for quite some time. I find that by talking with friends and my parents that things work out, but a counselor always helps. Sometimes I'm lonely too, and that can lead to a bunch of random badness of depressed feelings. I think Metal and harder music isn't that good for me right now, so I think I've been switching over to softer "question everything" music... Thats kinda it, and it is how it is.

I don't see that much of a difference between the leagues other than the pitchers batting. Yes you would know what pitchers did in the leagues for the longest time, but... to me, baseball is baseball.

Come to think of it, wouldn't Maggs being on the Tigers remind you of Dean Palmer and how he had stints like that?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) Just giving you a hard time Beastly, no hard feelings at all. You've been doing a nice job around here lately, really. Thanks, its nice to know some encouragement sometimes...

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) If by thriving you mean prolonged DL stints, lower numbers to ones he produced with the White Sox and never going to the playoffs again, sure he'll thrive. You love to show me up, don't you aboz56? I for one think he'll come around again, but thats me, I'm hopeful, and ur just opposing everything I say.

Green Day-American Idiot is the worst song I've heard recently.

Magglio will thrive where ever he goes. Its sad he had to leave us...but as long as he doesn't go to the cubs, i'm happy.

"Lately there's been too much of this..." :headshake :puke

A few people have PMed me with things and I've responded, but no answer back. Um, maybe some of the youngins could meet for dinner somewhere downstairs that we can afford or go in an autograph line n chill, or whatever. Just shoot me a PM if you want to do something like this.

Now it seems as though we aren't getting Iguchi. "Williams also said chances of signing Japan League second baseman Tadahito Iguchi, considered an impact-type player, are slim. The sides are far apart on money for a three-year deal." "With our signing of Pierzynski, unless the other side gets very creative on the structure of the contract, there would be a very remote possibility you'll see Iguchi in a White Sox uniform," Williams said. Weird...I thought something was posted what we were close to signing him.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:51 PM) A pitcher who has been inconsistent for most of his career who may get hammered at the Cell? From what I saw, after coming over in the trade last year, he wasn't exactly dynamite. Don't get me wrong, I love Garcia. But if I want to ask KW about the trade, you all can wait in line behind me with your love letters. I love Garcia too, but he also has great streaks of being successful. Vazquez wasn't exactly dynamite last year and he can compare to Garcia. I don't need to ask KW about the trade. I don't love him, but i don't hate KW either.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) Hold on to yourself. We cannot contend with the yankees or redosx nor are we even close. We will contend for the division. Take it easy lightning. Sry, I forgot that I'm of the "young sox fans" Terry.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) How about regularly beating the Twins first? We have a helluva team on paper, I hope this is the year it leads to success throughout the season on the field. We will beat the twins. They have no where near the team we have now. You can disagree with me if you want to, I'll understand that.

Aboz, consider this quote. "You've got to give something to get something." Were you expecting us to trade Borchard instead? Wow, we lost Reed. Look what we gained?

Today I can stand up again and say "i'm proud to be a Sox Fan." Now I don't pray to beat these teams, I know we can contend with the Yankees, Twins or the Red Sox anyday. Bring em on. I think he's got an A- for his off-season rating right now. We are no doubt going to be one of the most dangerous teams in the AL this year. I'm looking at the Central, and beyond, IF we get Iguchi, just because I don't see very many holes anymore. "Tonight, AJP takes on the team where he started playing, and the Sox look to finish off the Twins...its the White Sox and the Twins...Nextt...BOOM." -Dave Wills quote

My pic...

Is there anyone who is going that is going to wait in lines for autographs or be there til late friday night...I'll be there friday for sure... Maybe we could meet in the lobby and go on soxtalk with my wireless laptop later on...

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) i have a life, and a condo in michigan at a ski resort. therefore I am sking. Kind of the family thing to do. i will see the sox fail all summer. whats your dad looking for? give him a call, i'm not sure.

I want to know if I can hang with some people at soxfest...if that's cool, flip me a PM. Don't want to be alone in the autograph lines or at the lobby...

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) Doesn't appear either of us are going, I may show on Sunday. I hear the hot dogs are good at SoxFest Ross! well, i guess i'm going to be ignored then at soxfest. the hot dogs are also 2.50+ more expensive than the other ones... why don't u share the story with the rest of us?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) i will not be there. I will be sking...again. I will keep you and your dad in mind for tickets this year. contact him, he's looking for some soxtalk tickets from the season ticket holders...dunno why he wants some from the season ticket holders... skiing to miss soxfest, come on, how lame are you?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) Agree. The bobblehead gets pulled from my shelf the minute he signs with another team. The wife does not understand this concept, I've been explaining it for like, oh, 22 years now. It hurts to have other players stuff on my wall(s)-I'm not married so yes, I'm still free.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) True, true, One year lots of incentives and I don't care about maggs. he is not on my team, he turned down 60 million and hired the most arrogant piece of s*** agent around .he is dead to me. good opinion, hope we can talk some good baseball at soxfest...and hopefully you can ignore my 'young sox fan mind' to talk some baseball. Jim, are you going too?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) jim, it is obviously paying off to wait. prices for these types of players will come down. Smart. Only thing is what to do with Harris. Doubt he goes down. Trading him is an option but who would want him other than kenny williams. Looking at the rest of the free agents... What will Maggs price be, tq and jim?
