Alex, u want to merge all the other threads into one then?

Ok...but only for a second, almost done with this report, then I have two one page summaries I got to write by tomorrow.

Haaaaaa . On second thought, its been brought

Alex...u know I will constantly give you s*** if you go to the University of Iowa

If you want to do color highlight the area you want colored and then use the drop down. If you don't do it that way, then before you finish your post make sure you hit the close all tags button.

Also, lets keep all these posts together

For losing to stinking NIU. Geeze this is like two years in a row. They beat Louisville and then lose to NIU. Man, I sure hope they can get some big wins and do good in the big ten. I have high expectations this year and I expect to see the Hawks in the NCAA tourney.

This year that boring oldie oldster is going to win...I'm not settling for 2nd place this time

I just want to add one quick thing. I don't want to see people take this thing too far. Its cool to have a nice awards thing, but if you don't get one no biggie and remember its quality not quantity. I don't want to see a ton of people posting a gazillion useless posts soley so they can be up for an award next year (I know I know...these awards will make you the talk of the town). Hell, maybe we should write the Tribune and Southtown and all the major papers to remind them to put on a press release and to rent out the New York Opera House and we could put on this huge ass award show

Wow that was a long ass time ago, I can't even remember when I did that Ya, I remember those quotes inside quotes, it got ridiculous.

Has he announced his retirement yet?

My thoughts exactly. To me they don't approve of the wedding and since they weren't willing to explain it, which is the least someone could do when they tell you don't invite me to the wedding. I mean you'd think you'd try to explain yourself for not going to a long time friends wedding. I know if one of my best friends told me that, I'd be really upset. And I know they'd feel the same way if I told them not to invite me to theirs.

As far as the avatar, I must of removed it when I was looking through poster information and any avatar that I caught that day that wasn't loading I removed to cause less error messages. The site u pulled it from must of been down when I did it. Sorry Brando

I fixed the quote feature so now it just takes the last quote although I'm working on making it an option that you can click a button and quote the entire post if the poster wants to.

Gonna merge this post 420 with the one thats stuck on the top of the board.

Supposedly the lack of Texas state income tax will basically allow him to make the same amount. I heard that interview too Tex. Seems like a good guy, also talked about how Rocket is working out with him.

He would, but I don't think the Sox have anyone out there that would be able to get Reyes. If they were in fact interested in Maggs, then I'd think that Reyes would have to be a must have, but thats pure speculation and I don't think Maggs goes, unless the Sox can't deal Konerko and Koch...meaning their is a good shot Maggs gets dealt, but the Sox will try all their other options first, imo.

I'd be skeptical what some teams put out in terms of injuries, but at the same time the Sox should take those reports serious. Wouldn't a simple MRI be able to tell whoever signs him whether he has a slightly torn labrum? If so, then they should catch something like that in the physical. Also, I heard Pettite on the radio today and he mentioned how the Yanks were telling teams his elbow was gone and to watch out, when he claims that isn't even close to true. He admits to his elbow hurting in the past but he says that was in the past and that this year he felt great en route to 21 wins.

They are going to move him to 2nd base.

I think its 6 mill this year and then the following years it still depends on who accepts the option, whether its the sox or Frank Thomas. When its Frank then the Sox pay a little less, but the dollar amount will still go up the next few years. Barring trade, it looks like a lock that Thomas will be here the next few years, which should make you happy.

Weaver will still average a little over 6 mill a year the next two years so they are paying like an additional 9 mill and they are getting Kevin Brown instead.

Wow....this deal I guess makes sense economically but the Yanks look like they are doing good since they are trading a guy with a very high salary themselves and the Yanks got pretty much crap in the way of prospects so I can't forsee those guys that the Dodgers got being very good. Well at least they got 3 mill.

I'll try to figure out a good way to do something like this during my christmas break.

Brando, last I checked Andy Pettite didn't have special stuff. Greg Maddux didn't have special stuff. Jamie Moyer didn't have special stuff. If you know how to pitch and have a lot of quality pitches that you can control, then you will be good in this league. I will say that Buehrle has some things to work on though.
