http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2611327 The Marlins front office is so full of themselves. Pathetic.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 2, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) It's one of his ways of negotiating. Exactly. So I don't read what he said in this one interview and believe that Crede's gone.

I recall KW sounding pretty confident about telling Jon or Contreras adios during last winter too. I don't have much reason to hold him entirely to his word, especially the day after our season ended.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 1, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) The Tigers will win the world series. Thank you for jinxing them.

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Oct 1, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) Jon did his Loiza impression this year...racking up wins...losing three straight when we desperately needed him...winning when it doesn't matter. If that's what you say about our best starter this year, I'm curious to see what you're saying about the rest of the staff.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) call me crazy but i'm still pretty confident gordon is going to illinois. You're crazy, but not for that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 29, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) Yeah its funny, the only person you really don't like in that show is Joy, and every once in a while you can even like her. Earl is a great show to have backed up against the office. I really wish they would have figured out how to get Scrubs in that set as well. NBC shafts Scrubs too much. It's set for a Janaury start up, like last year. So they'll probably be playing two episodes a week. The 4th season comes out on DVD on Octobert 10th, that'll suffice for a bit.

We're still in this.

The 15th batter will now reach base thanks to the above post.

Nice job Brandon.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) I dislike this promotion primarily because it butchers the use of the term "hometown". Almost none of these people are from, or in some cases even ever lived in, these towns. They are not "hometown heroes". They are just favorite players. You're looking too deep into this.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 05:03 PM) Im gonna have to call this a case of the media selling a story. How many people tuned into their shows because "To tried to kill himself" instead of "TO had an allergic reaction." If TO did have a reaction, then its impossible to use his words against him. He clearly was out of it, and according to him does not even remember any of the questions that were asked. I have seen people react very poorly to hydrocodone, to the point where they were so ill that they needed to be hospitalized. Whether or not this happened to TO, we will never know. But the fact that everyone was so quick to retract, makes me think that there were quite a few leaps to conclusion, instead of hard facts. In the end the only people who really know are TO, and maybe his publicist. The fact TO practiced today suggests that it looks more like a mistake, then something that was truely bothering him. What about the police report? That can't be ignored.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) What's even more strange is Bill Parcells saying Monday that he gets sick from his pain pills... so there could be truth to it, actually. Scary, huh? There's no denying that people can have that kind of reaction to pain pills or w/e. However, the interesting thing is the cops including in their transcript words about depression, suicide, pulling pills away, etc. It's difficult to say one side is 100% believable at this point in time.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) If T.O. is going to speak himself, I can't imagine that he actually tried suicide. Anybody that had just attempted suicide would be counseled to be taken out of the spotlight for their own mental health. Regardless, I wouldn't expect anyone to confirm such in this kind of situation.

QUOTE(Goober @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 03:20 PM) thread title should be changed, this isn't proven yet. Fixed.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 27, 2006 -> 12:27 PM) I think in this case, all the attention given to it is justified. A superstar athlete attempted suicide. That's enormous news. And I, for one, can believe that he actually tried to kill himself. When you think about it, he does seem to be insecure or unbalanced or something. It's sad, really. Agreed. This is nothing about attention. And to coin this as such or a joke is pretty classless.

Congrats Jim! I'm extremely bitter, but you and your team are definitely deserving of playing into October.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) The only veterans who should play in this last week are the ones who are at the top of our "to be traded" list. Agreed. We have absolutely nothing to play for. What's the point of playing anyone of importance to the White Sox future? Treat the final games as if they were NFL exhibition games.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Sep 26, 2006 -> 11:28 AM) heh heh, are you sure? I remember being ripped for predicting 3 million this year. Shoot, I was called off the wall for saying the SOX staff ERA would not allow them to make the playoffs. Thats what makes the SOX blowing it and not making the playoffs so FRUSTRATING, they really had a chance to take this town to another level I think what he's ensenuating that no one here bashed you for those predictions, as you never made them here. But you made them at another board. And if you did make those predictions here and were bashed for them, please point them out.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 25, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) Why the hell hasn't Marrioti written an article on Thomas? Isn't he a clubhouse cancer? Why aren't the A's in the cellar with the "Big Skirt" at the helm? Go Frank! He actually has. He just used it as opportunity to take stabs at KW and Ozzie.
