I think the Yanks will probably offer him good money and it will be tough for Cooper to turn it down. That said, I've always thought of Coop as a company man. He's been in this organization a long time and had turned down our pitching coach job numerous times because he liked helping out the youngsters in the minors. I tend to agree with Tony's beliefs and that its going to be really hard for him to leave Chicago. Also, AJ has been great for this staff, but Coop has also been very good. He lets these guys relax and trust there stuff, which was a serious problem back when Nardi was running the show.

IIRC there is a strict rule in the Missouri area about scalping and the way people try to get around that is by selling some crappy baseball card and including 4 free tickets to the world series to see the Cardinals. So people will pay like 1200 bucks for a freaking Willie Harris card or whatever (if you had like 4 tix). DOn't know if that really makes it legal, but its what I remember seeing be done a few years back.

I will say this...Fox HD blows ass compared to ESPN HD. Haven't ever watched a game on CBS HD. I just know that ESPN HD was way better on the Sox game than FoxHD. FoxHD is really grainy on the greens.

Instant replay would be horrible for baseball.

Right now I'd prefer that the White Sox go about things and win tomorrow. I don't care when it comes to the NL. I just want the White Sox to take this one game at a time and play there style of baseball. If they execute and play to their ability, we should be in good shape.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) meeting up for BP would be killer. lets do it i also like the hooters idea hooters ----> BP ----> WHITE SOX BABY! This is for Saturday right?

Long Beach is pretty far from the stadium. Probably 20 miles. That said I know there is an amtrak station in the parking lot at anaheim. Mabe you can call them up and ask if there is a train. I think there is a train that goes to LAX or some sort of metro so I'm guessing the train would take you to LAX and than go from there.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 05:56 PM) ok, its offical i have tickets for saturday sec. 521 where i was SPOSED to meet you last time amigo =P i wanna meet up before the game, just dont know if 1 will be too early for my dad or not... ill talk with him about it and let you know i like the idea of meeting in the park somewhere 7th inning strech? where? You guys want to all meet up in the UD or something or maybe in the lower bowl and watch batting practice? Thats cool with me. I think we'll be at the stadium at the latest by 3:30 ish. Glad you were able to find a ticket Travis.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) i want george costanza's yankee job. Lol, I loved when he would just sneak out of the office through the vents or however he did it.

I probably should of just went into baseball. It could be something I end up regretting.

Let me ask my dad (get back to you tonight if I can). He owns two of the seats so those tix are purely up to him. For Friday's game I got all 4 of them so I figured I'd have a couple of my friends go and than leave one for a Sox fan (one of my friends is what I'd like to call a cursed angel fan, whenever he goes they seem to lose, so I told him I expect him to bring the Angels bad luck). The other one of my buddies will be in a Sox jersey like me (he's not a diehard, but I'm slowly convincing him). I so can't wait. Going to work early tomorrow so I can get out around 1 so we'll probably be parked by 1:20-1:30.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) Do i even bother trying? Seriously? You and SNB better...I'm banking on a couple of the faction getting lucky and than everyone can get some seats to one of the games

My buddies and I will definately try to stop on bye. I know were planning on bring a cooler and possibly a gas grill (if my buddy still has his) and may cook up some stuff after the game (just so we don't have to sit in traffic) as well as throw around a football or something.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) I was going to use a Southwest voucher, but I don't think I can if the flights are full. Ya, I don't know how those work. I'll get my first one when I fly out for Fest or the Series.

Than ignore the PM I just sent ya.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Anything for Saturday? I wonder how quickly I could get a flight in and then back out. What's the closest airport that SWA has to Anaheim? Closest is John Wayne which is in Santa Ana/Orange County. However, Ontario and Los Angeles (neither are very far) away.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Anything for Saturday? I wonder how quickly I could get a flight in and then back out. Ya, just tell me relatively quickly otherwise my dad will unload them.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 13, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) I'm going Friday have to get off work early. Will leave by 3:30 hopefully from Pasadena. Won't have too much time to party beforehand.But make something definite either in the Stadium or before or after the game or all 3 and I'll be there with another Soxtalk dude Oh by the way any of you So Cal Sox fans tell me here or PM me if you want to become a member of the So Cal Chapter of SoxTalk. Tannerfan & Ginger Kid and anyone else not on my list at the bottom of my post feel free to join in . Jason and Trevor (hi8is) are members already. My seats are section V537 Row N seats 9 & 10. Upperdeck rightfield foul pole extended. Jason can you pin this thread ? Ya, its pinned. I'm in 420...Rog G, Seats 7-10.

If anyone wants 1 ticket for Friday's game I can help them out. Face value. Just PM me or make a post here.

I'll be trying. Maybe some of us can work out some deals where if some get lucky we get 4 and cut them to other people who weren't so.

Just got your message. I'll be there. Friday I'm assuming in the parking lot with some of my friends, so tell me the place and I'll meet you all. Saturday I probably won't get there till about an hr before the gamd and Sunday probably the same. Hi8is is gonna come down Saturday I think.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I got a confirmation email today and my jersey has been shipped out. I should get it Monday or Tuesday.

Hey Rex...just wanted to say. Really appreciate your insight on the issue. Same with you Krush...the two have you done a great job explaining both perspectives and each of your opinions.
