Holy crap...Angels are offering Kochman, geeze have they gone mad. If they are willing to give up Kochman, then add Torres and a few other prospects and go after the Unit.

Alex...while you may not be funny, I am hillarious

Ya, I really need to tell her to stop showing people the site

Lets all google bomb White Sox to come up as Soxtalk.com and minor leaguer to come up as FutureSox.com Just a few completely unbiased suggestions...oh ya, one more....sexiest man alive pulls up the staff page for FutureSox pointing at yours truly

Dave is really good, one of my personal fav's. Too bad that free show isn't down my way, cause I'd definately hit it up.

:fyou Metallica

Bourne Supremacy was pretty good in my book. Had a freaking awesome car chase scene. I liked the first one, now the second one, so I guess I'm just a fan of the series. I will not even think about seeing Catwomen, even if it is Halle Berry in leather. I'll wait for it on TV.

This is some funny s***.

And a great year its been

A long time ago, 989 seemed to make pretty decent games, but thats long been over. I remember the last time I didn't get Madden was when I decided to get the 1st year of NFL Quarterback Club for N64. IGN said it was the awesome game cause of the graphics and everything. It had way better graphics then Madden that year, but the game in general was just awful. Madden may not of been fancy but it was fun to play. Games of came a hell of a long way since then and this year I won't be getting Madden, unless I end up playing it and decide its way better then ESPN. I'm really liking ESPN though. If ESPN weren't 20 bucks, I'd of went with Madden though, hell, if it were 30 bucks compared to Madden at 50, I probably would of bought Madden...but you can't beat it for 20 bucks or the 15 that it is at Fye or Target.

Do you know if it will be released at the same time? I sold my ps2 to pick up an Xbox and this was the only game on PS2 that is really exclusive to ps2, at least that I play. Also for those Xboxers that havne't picked up the dual GTA pack, its 29.99 at Best Buy, you can't beat that for two AWESOME games. I preordered Halo 2 when I bought 2k5...Halo looks like its gonna be seriously badass. Great multiplayer mode and everything. Edit: Nevermind, I just saw where its on PS2 at the beginning. I'm guessing 6 months later it will be out on XBOX. Man that sucks, but oh well. The game looks ridiculously badass, although I agree with Steve...the whole exercise thing may be a little over the top. I mean look at Tony Soprano, does anyone truly think he exercises

I pretty much agree with you in full. The only thing I may do is promote one of their starters to Winston Salem. With another starter Winston Salem should be able to compete for a division title, instilling winning to them, while Gio Gonzalez could move up to Kannapolis and fit in just fine, imo.

Hell yes...where do we sign

Who knows...we can all see the continuing decline of Heads...its so sad isn't it

Drugs = STUPID

Yep....your career is definately on the decline

What the hell is that supposed to mean heads? Maybe I'm the only one who gets it, but you may need to consider retiring from making fun of me

First off, stick around and welcome aboard I have noticed what McNichol is doing and I believe their are at least a few unsung heros on that Birmingham team. The Barons team in general, doesn't get a bunch of hype, and to me their are a whole lot of guys in their bullpen that can contribute at the major league level (eventually) as well as their rotation. Offensively you have Spidale and Anderson who look like they will be capable of reaching the majors and then a lot of guys who could prove me wrong, but they have a lot of mionr league veterans in a sense. I was unaware of McNichol's injury, but I have noticed him pitching his butt off the entire year. Him, Josh Fields, Matt Smith, Bull, Lamura have all been doing a fantastic job out of the pen. Bull has also done a nice job in his spot starts.

I'd use them in a package for Zito or Mulder

Wouldn't have a problem with that, as long as the Pirates are still willing to pay a good amount of Kendall's contract. I like the idea of Danny Bautista, because I'm pretty convinced Maggs is gone for the season and I think management has to go with that approach. Honestly, Sox fans may of seen the last game Maggs ever plays in a White Sox uniform.

Eddie has been pretty awesome this year, 5 blown saves and all, and I'd love him in the pen. However, at this point, Shingo is the closer until proven otherwise (hopefully he doesn't prove otherwise). If he is willing to come in and be a setup man, then fine. Once again, I think the Sox are thin on prospects, so to me, they are going to have to figure out what deal is the best one to make and go for that one, imo, and then take up a secondary (not quite as big of a name player) for the other trade. Thats if they are going to make a few more deals.

Welcome Aboard That was a great game to catch. I turned it off for an inning or two and turned it back on just in time to see the comeback. I was so frustrated with how the Sox would score and then their pitcher would just go right back out and give the runs back. That homer by Crede was just awesome.

Also a walk off sac fly and a double off the wall (almost a homer) that I can remember, so that would make it 4.

I heard the same thing. Arizona's GM replied to the Yankees that their is nothing you have that we want. It appears that he wouldn't go to New York, but I wouldn't ever say that because they have cash and if Arizona really wants to unload his contract, they'll bite if no other team is actually in the sweepstakes. I think if it gets to that point, then the Angels will jump in, offer one of their top prospects, and some mid level guys. Thats only if no one really gets in a bidding war for Randy.

Ya, you all are probably right in regards to Maggs and offering arbitration, since it would be too risky. However, sometimes a player gets signed up before that arbitration window is done, if I recall, and then the Sox wouldn't even have to worry about something along those lines. Also, I'm not going to say its likely that they could lock up Beltran, but if I were KW and I thought I could, I'd try to get him, set up a negotiation window. If he called and basically got the; He won't sign now, no matter what, I'd say screw it, go after a reliever and a catcher and maybe add a starter. However, I don't think the Sox have the prospects ot make too many more trades without clobbering their upper levels and when you give up lower level guys, you typically have to give up a bit more.
