QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) As i have speculated earlier in thread it could mean that the sox would trade Rowand. It seems they are at an impasse with his contract right now, and many teams like him. I am not saying I like it or saying it will happen. If they did sign byrnes, it reopens that door, for a garland and rowand trade to the D back for vasquez. For whatever reason KW is fixated on that guy. I am sure it won't happen. Whats the update on rowands contract? this is why it could happen. I'm guessing they will go to arb or get closer. Although they may of passed some deadline, but I doubt it. I only think that deadline applies to unrestricted free agents not free agents. Worse case the Sox will sign him to a one year deal now and then continue to work out an extension over the offseason.

Plus I really think Kenny loves Arow. YOu never know though, but if they deal Arow they better be getting one hell of a ballplayer in return.

Game over...Bulls win and are now 6-5 at home. Perfect timing too, 24 is just about to start

I should just add I get lazy and I have two jobs. One I don't work too often, the other is more my full time job, and once I had my boss (at my part time job) tell me to shave and I basically said why and he listened. Its not like I have a thick beard (not that it would matter) but I tend to get lazy. But I always get my job done and am one of the harder workers and he agreed. I just get pissed when anyone tells me what to do to be honest

Duhon just put the game away hitting an open three and giving the Bulls an 11 point lead with exactly 1 minute left.

Jesus, 6 point game with 1:30left. Thank goodness...Chandler just get an offensive put back making it an 8 point game and then the Bulls steal it on the following posession.

Things have gotten awful quiet. My guess is the Sox are close to adding another infielder. I bet it happens by Wednesday. My gut tells me it will be Iguchi, but it may just be Cora.

Not a big fan of a 24 year old 1st baseman still in A ball, but then again I'm a Rogowski fan so who knows if this guy is any good. Sounds like he has some offensive ability but god is he brutal defensively. I do agree that Prince has slowed his development. He's gotta be better then Brandon Bounds.

Just curious, but where the hell does ESPN think Byrnes is going to play? I don't know if anyone has mentioned that yet in this thread but with Spod, Rowand, and Dye the outfield is full and none of these guys can play anywhere else. If they acquire Byrnes either Spod is going elsewhere or they think Thomas is going to be out a while and plan on DH'ing Dye or something (I don't think thats the case). Sometimes I really wonder what the news media is thinking when they write rumors. I'm a Byrnes fan by the way and I'd like him here, its just not going to happen this year.

I demand a refund Goldie. You just ruined the movie for me....couldn't you of labeled this a spoiler Damn I'm looking forward to this movie. I think it may be the best star wars yet. I still am holding up that they decide to make Episodes 7,8, and 9.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Anything is funny with the proper chemicals . . . Not true, I remember watching without a paddle with a nice buzz at the movie theatres thinking it would be hillarious...not so. All of us just stared blank at the screen utterly dissapointed. We figured drinking would be wise just in case it sucked...boy were we wrong. Another movie that would be that bad is Club Dread. I watched like 10 minutes of it on one of the movie channels the other day and good god did it suck.

Wowzers, Nocioni with 4:45 left in the 4th the Bulls get the first field goal of the quarter.

Wow the offense keeps looking worse. They had 35 points in the 3rd quarter and one in the 4th quarter with 7 minutes already off the clock in the 4th.

Bulls haven't hit a bucker in the quarter and Golden State is a whopping 2/12. Bulls need to get 100 for the fans

QUOTE(shagar69 @ Jan 9, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) i just saw Shawshank Redemption for the first time, and wow. this movie is awesome. the story is just unbelievable, probably one of the best movies i have ever seen. im curious to hear what you guys think about it Fantastic Film....no doubt about it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) The issue is I think it is insulting to my kid. I dodn't take conservative to mean in the political context. He wants to see kids with very short hair styles. He also asked me to inform one of my assistants to remove his earing around the kids. I refused. He said "conservative hairstyles and dress" in the email. He has on two occasions specifically told my son he should cut his hair. My son passed his Eagle Scout board of review with that hair. The kids are coming from all over the area, mostly working poor to middle class. The resident camp costs $140 for the week. The camp has had declining enrollment each year because of the quality of the staff's instruction and the quality of the facilities and food. I have sat in literally dozens of meetings on why Units aren't using the facility for summer camp and the appearance of the camp staff has never been mentioned once. My son's hair is barely past his ears, not even near his shoulder, and not in his eyes except when wet. This guy wears his hair in a crew cut, has a full beard, and a big chew between the cheek and gum. (to his credit, never around the kids) The issue is more if someone says I won't hire anyone like this or that and this and that describes your child, would you be pissed? I'm taking a general comment and making it personal. Ya, I'd probably be pissed. As long as your son is a good kid who gives a s***. Thats my theory on people in general. I could give a damn what they look like, if they are kind hearted people then they are a-ok in my book. Of course like everyone else I still make judgements before knowing someone, I just try not to let those judgements get in my way. And if someone told me to cut my hair for a job I'd probably tell them to piss off.

Gimme a freaking break. On the viewers choice yesterday they gave Farnheit 9/11 film of the year. Not documentary of the year, film of the year. I can't freaking believe that drivel got film of the year. I know the left side will disagree with me, but its a given that his documentaries are filled with erroneous bulls***. Maybe its just me and my hatred for CBS, but since it aired on CBS I wonder if they had any say in this at all. I guess it had to be the fact that Hollywood tends to be more left, but I can't possibly believe that the people (I don't know how the voting process works) would of picked this as film of the year. I mean, was it better then Ray??? where Jamie Foxx did a flipping outstanding job.

I don't know what anyone else thought, but damn 24 started off great. I'm ready for tonights 2 hours. Rarely do I sit and watch 2 straight hours of anything but sports, but damn I get into 24. And this year I can DVR it instead of pulling my usual of missing a couple weeks and then giving up on the show because I'm lost.

Man has it been pouring out here lately. I don't think I can ever remember this much rain in SoCal. Hell, I don't think El Nino was like this. Its basically been pouring or sprinkling all times today. Were already at 3 to 4 inches on the day and I think it will be even more. Now its time for some snow Has it been pretty bad down in LA too?

Bulls up big now. They absolutely blew Golden State out of the water despite being in the penalty with about 9:30 left on the clock in the 3rd quarter. Harrington has 20 in the game and Deng got pulled immediately in the 3rd quarter after a pour turnover and then bad defense.

Damn thats badass gold.

Badass looking sig.

And Sosa is what I'd consider a likely possibility.

The Bulls better not take it lightly. I know I'm not.

I think its more most writers know Kenny is agressive. They know the Sox may have a little money out there and that they still would like to improve the team up the middle. Because of that anytime a middle infielder becomes available the Sox name will appear. First off Kenny should at the very least contact them just as a flier to see what they want. Any GM would, evne if they weren't interested. I highly doubt there is anything to this. I think the Sox will make a monster trade this year, but not during the offseason. I speculate that they will get Iguchi and if this team plays like I think it can, they will be looking to put themselves over the top for world series play around the deadline and should still have 4 mill or so within there means. When that time comes, I could easily see them giving up two of their top 3 prospects and more for a guy like Ben Sheets or a stud hitter, depending on the teams needs. They'd gamble, but I'm thinking the Sox come close to 2.5 mill this year. Call me crazy, but right now I'm falling in love with this team.
