By Real Pro Wrestling, are you referring to something like WWF? Got a quick question, do wrestlers ever compete in things like ultimate fighting? By wrestlers, I mean people with wrestling as their specialty, like some guys have JuDiztu or however you spell it.

I'm for Ozzie or Cito or Backman with Ozzie as the 3rd base coach. I'd also like Ozzie with Backman at 3rd.

While your right Maggs is awesome, when you look at it in terms of the Sox payroll, it will be very hard to compete when you have so much money distrubted to so few players, especially when most of them don't produce or didn't. I'm referring to Koch and Konerko who make a ton between the two and are unmoveable. Then Maggs at 14 mill is going to be tough to fit in when you pay those two clowns 15 mill next year. Thats 29 mill and when you count Thomas it reaches 36 mill, which is over half of the expected payroll. Its very hard to compete when 4 guys, only two that are productive are taking up around 60% of your payroll. Especially when your trying to retain guys like Colon, resign Buehrle, and others. As far as I'm concerned offense should take a back seat to pitching and for those reasons I put bringing back Colon or getting another pitcher as a higher priority. Especially if this deal allows the Sox to add Castillo/Cabrerra and then go get someone like Ponson. I'm more for taking 14 mill and dividing it up so you have a complete team then having one star and then having bums around him. A team with many solid hitters, will be very sucessful when it has great pitching. It will also be a consistent team. If this team is going to compete at 60 mill, they are going to have be very creative and very willing to do some much roster swaps. Even guys we like could be gone. In my opinion for this team to compete at 60 mill they are going to have to have 4-5 new guys on the starting lineup and then some. I'd say at least 3-4 trades have to be made and 2-3 signings. This team is really close, but they aren't going to be able to make it good as it is just be using free agency since the owner won't let them. Right now dealing Maggs, Lee, Konerko, Koch would be priorties. Get very good players in return for Magglio, and use his money on a new middleinfield. You can develop your pen more with Maggs. Then move Lee for a younger hitter thats still very good and an arm and then use his money to bring in your pitcher to replace Colon if he can't stay. Then use what you lose in Konerko/Koch to give guys raises as well as adding some relievers and such and then fill the last two slots (1st/OF) with some cheap guys that stick around. Guys like Daubach, Ortiz, Fullmer, Spiezo who you can bring in about 3 of for about 6 mill.

Do you ever get any ideas of whacking guys over the head with chairs

Are you redshirting this year Steve?

I prefer whatever the normal style of a shirt is. Looking at mine its kind of an oval top. I think sometype of Soxtalk Graphic would be cool or something like that and a saying would definately be cool. I also think it should be about the site, but obvious enough so people know its the White Sox, I'm thinking soxtalk is rather obvious

Thats freaking awesome. Are you gonna be the bat boy or something?

I think Comic Book Guy would be a catchy DJ name. You could also go with Holden McGroin, that is pretty funny and a good radio name. Great suggestion Dbaho.

Wait, you get to sit in the dugout? If so thats way cool. I want you to ask them to put in a good word for me on becoming GM of the Sox

Sweet...something i don't have to do tonight

Thats awesome BMR. Good to see things improving for ya down their in Vegas. Now you'll have money to blow at the casinos. Just remember, when I tell ya not to go against the Bears, not to

It looks nice. The go palehose looks really cool on the back.

For those interested in whipping together some designs, this is a great site to do it. We can just take advantage of their great tools and then shop around for the best price.

He's definately one of the best on first. He's supposed to be a real good guy although I have never been a fan. He didn't throw me a ball when I was 12 or so at an Angel game I could explain it better, but lets just say my friend and I were the only one near him when he was going into the dugout at the end of the inning and we were both huge Snow fans and were calling his name and he looked at us and just had this smug looked and wouldn't throw it. We were like the only people at the game anyway. I won't hold it against him though

Ya, half would be one color half the other. I was thinking one shirt gray and the other either black and white and the lettering would be black on the gray shirt and if its a white shirt as well then it would be black on that too.

If you didn't have that picture of Anna, I might confuse ya for ten

sounds cool to me.. so what are we talkin here about 100 shirts?? name me a number.......so i can get a better cost...... That be a good guess. As long as people would be interested in them. Maybe a bit less just so we don't get stuck with them Thanks HSC

Lol...we'll need all the help we can get. I know one thing, I sure as hell don't know how to do anything with graphics. I was thinking the tshirts could be in like two different colors with some type of soxtalk logo on the front and then on the back some kind of saying or something. It would be way cool to get different aspects from different people on the board

Ya, that would be cool. Maybe if we can figure it out their can be some type of contest to design the Soxtalk tshirt

You still got 9 years till your over the hill

I have smoked a few cigars. Very relaxing. Smoke maybe two a year. Nothing expensive, a few amish things or whatever they are called. Like 3 bucks for a 6 pack which we will split up. I don't know the fascination, but all I know is its very relaxing and their ain't any weed involved

Lol...he reminds me of Mo Vaughn. If he doesn't get more then 4 million then i think he would be a great alternative if Thomas opts to go elsewhere or declines the Sox contract.

That was an absolute bomb.

I don't see that lineup happening cause the payroll would be like 80 million, but I'd like that team.
