QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) Any estimates on the crowd size? WGN said a couple hundred thousand. Around 200,000 is what I thought I heard, but that was probably just an eyeball estimate.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) Latest I heard was 6 years and 72 million, a Tejada type deal. I heard he was asking 5yr 65 mill and I'm guessing he won't get more than that. And yes, I'd give him that type of deal. Thats basically an Adrian Beltre type year. The other good news is that the Angels may shift there interest from Paulie to Manny. There is a lot of talk out here of the Angels trading for Manny Ramirez.

Once again...THANK YOU to each and every member of the 2005 Chicago White Sox. Thanks for making my sports year, not only that, but the best sports moment of my life.

ROFL...Ozzie...I don't know the words. This is what we've been waiting for.

5yr 60 mill with some incentives. I'd prefer a 4 year deal at 12.5 mill a year, but would be willing to give 5. YES YES YES its time for some singing.

Hey Ian...no PM yet.

Ozzie is on his way back. LOL, Ozzie's kids favorite players are AJ, Crede, and Blum and that Ozzie's family is crazy

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) I was hopping he was announcing he resigned. lol Mark my words...Paulie will be back.

Oh and RESIGN PAUL

Awesome Paulie. For a second I thought he was going to whip out a contract proposal and they were going to sign him right there

YES YES YES...I can't wait for the karaoke hour.

Crede

I hope Shingo gets honored at some point or another. Maybe he'll be at the ring ceremony at the start of next year. Dustin was rather quiet, surprising.

I love this team

I'm just so used to being wrong that I figured Mike had to be right. Cool, I think Hawk will be pumped. This is awesome.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) No way, its gotta be gene honda. Your right, but I guarantee Hawk will be doing something.

Most everyone thats a part of the organization will get one. Anyone that played a game with the Sox and everyone on the 40 man roster. Plus scouts, most employees. Its up to the team in terms of employees. Some teams really go out there and give them to almost everyone in the org.

I'm looking forward to hearing Hawk, I bet he will announce the players.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) One of the buses has a sign that says "Lee" on it. What Lee is on the team? Man Soo Lee

For those wondering who Smith was (I think someone asked) I assume they are referring to Matt Smith. I saw Paulino Reynoso's number on there and I now am assuming that the entire 40 man roster is here.

I have it on my dvr. Both WGn and ESPN news. Of course I started it a little late. Its only been recording for about 20 minutes.

Did anyone see Crazy Carl....I gotta admit, he definately knows how to crack me up. ESPN news has pretty good coverage as well, just flipped it over there. There you can hear the background of thunderstruck. This is just awesome...I'm getting misty eyed just watching it and thinking back about how great this season has been. Its really starting to sink in.

This is awesome

Guys, if Bud Selig new about this, they wouldn't have named Jermaine Dye the MVP. There wereo ther potential candidates he could have given it to. I know someone else mentioned this, but I thought it deserved mention again. Therefor, I say it could be either Pods or Rowand, but not Dye. I still doubt its anyone on the Sox. In fact, I'm going to go with Steve Finley accidentally taking a supplement.

I would be shocked if either were dealt.
