QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) Cleveland can have him. I think I would have been more worried about the acquisition, if it was Joey.

Well this just leaves Iguchi. Iguchi would be nice, but honestly, I have no problem with what this team looks like right now. It wouldn't hurt to save whatever extra money the team plans on spending this year for the trade deadline when we may find better options.

Hah...That's awesome. Yeah, we have enough Illini fans on this board that someone will still try to snatch it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) That pretty much eliminates you from most drinking games Clock set ahead a few minutes -- check I always had to make my last basket before quiting, and sink my last putt. Wallet always in this pocket, keys always in this one. I won't even bore you with my backpack but sufficient to say, everything has a place and in the dark I can immediately find whatever. Took months to get to that state. CDs alphabetical, books by size. OMG, Damn you ChiSoxyGirl, I think I need therapy I have all of those. I'm very obsessive compulsive with how I do things. I feel that if I don't do things in a certain order, my whole day's going to be out of whack. I always have my alarm clock time set for 15 minutes ahead of the real time, because it makes me feel a little better thinking I woke up at 8:15 on a particular day, rather than 8:00.

I like the random storm over my hometown, Ft. Wayne.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) Athletic departments in the red is like national budget. A decade of debt won't kill anyone! Wait until I graduate though...We've already got that lame athletic fee... :banghead

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) greasy, that if Davis gets fired, which will happen if things continue as they have been the rest of the season, Rick Majerus is the odds on favorite to take over, with Kevin Stallings as a possible 2nd option. Lots could change of course, but apparently that is what is being said behind the college basketball scene. Also, did you see the article on his contract in the Indy Star? If he is fired, he will be owed something like $700k. The potentially unfortunate kink in the picture for him is that he has signing bonuses written into his contract if he is still the head coach each July 1. This year happens to be the largest of those bonuses in the whole contract at $300,000. I feel better about that. I like Alford, but I don't understand if he'd do anything better than Davis or not. I know it'd calm some of the IU nation down having an IU guy at the helm. However, what if he didn't do well? That'd just taint what he did at IU as a player. I think Majerus would be solid here. I did read the Q&A section from yesterday and spotted that little blip. That's the whole thing that scares me about firing Davis. IU's already in the red as it is, and his contract goes through '07-08.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Buehrle is hands-down the number one pitcher on this team. No knock against Garcia, but Buehrle's our ace... Agreed...I'm curious to see how the rest of the rotation is filled out though. Is El Duque really going to be the #3 as KW said, or are we moving him down. I want to hear what Oz has to say on this.

52-52 8:00 minutes left

I think we flip Buerhle and Garcia. We'll see though. Someone needs to ask Ozzie what he thinks the rotation order will be.

QUOTE(Yoda @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) Holy s***... Illini kicking ass. 37-19 with 4 minutes to go in the 1st. It's Penn State, at home. It was going to happen.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) I like your new avatar. Gracias. I had to make a Sox one. I'm just so antsy for baseball right now. I'm not even going to SoxFest, but I'm excited for it.

Haha...

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) Ozzie is sort of getting old as my current sig "This kid still looks like a kid to me."--Ozzie

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) WTF this is so gay. TO does 10x what he does and he dosnt get s***. Moss got fined $5000, pocket change. TO got fined when he did the sharpie thing.

I don't think it's his fault. Harrington's going to pull a Drew Brees once he gets a few players around him.

QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) So, Oz, what do you think of Hermy's helping to get AJ here? "I like what that kid did for us, I appreciate it." What about Orlando Hernandez, what are you thoughts on him? "I watched him play once, and I said... 'Damn, I like that kid', Kenny went and got him for me." How's AJ doing meeting everyone? "You know what, I love this kid! He's doing great." Nice. If someone can try to translate what Oz is saying to the people not able to hear the interview, that'd be grrrreat.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) I love hawk. He's a fan of the team he covers, a very passionate fan. I'll take him any day over a cookie-cutter bland corporate guy. When the sox suck, hawk's pissed, when the sox are going strong, you can tell it effects hawk. I love it. Preach it!

What do you guys think of this? They've got an interesting link on the front page of ESPN.com, check it out.

Spinners on teeth....WOW...

I haven't bought a pack or an individual one in a while, but I used to collect Frank Thomas cards insanely. I think I have 300+ of just Frank, no doubles. I used to love those starting lineup things too.

I really like the White Sox uni's we have now, but some reason my favorite isn't a popular choice. I want to get this jersey sometime. I hate the team, but I like the Pats jersey. Also, I'm a Pacers fan, but I like the Bulls jersies.

Got it.
