It always seemed like MJ looked to walk and would just hope they would throw balls.

Latest rumors have them considering a deal for Kordell Stewart.

Nice Post Ross. Your definately learning and your a pretty sharp Sox fan. Hopefully we'll all be cheering together on these boards and in the stands later in the season when the Sox make the playoffs and win it all!!!!!!!!!

Soxnet.net will offer $1, but the dollar has to go towards renovations to the tatoo that he will be getting on his back that says: "Real White Sox News, For Real White Sox Fans"

Well, I guess Sesame Street won't be giving us any money anytime soon. So for anyone looking to get there corporate name on a website for a measly 68 million, you know where to find us

It makes sense for the Cubs. If I were them I'd go after him right now. With a shortstop like him they could just compete, cause it would actually give them some pop in the lineup. He'd definately make sense for the Sox, but I haven't even seen where its a shoe in that he's on the market. They are considering it, if he doesn't sign, but would likely hold onto him till the deadline.

I'd tell him to forget switch hitting.

Of course I was right! Interesting too was that KW went on to say (as I heard it) that Cruz was in the Fick category in terms of personality and had no chance to play for the Sox, and KW made reference to bad club house chemistry in 2001 and 2002 as opposed to 2000 and that now personality is factor in considering players, haing learned their lesson, and that the Sox will take a player with slightly lesser talent who would provide better chemistry than a player with slightly better talent that would be a clubhouse cancer. Whose Cruz? Nelson Cruz or Juan Cruz?

From what I've heard, Aol/Time Warner wants to sell and Ted Turner wants to buy the Braves back. The Tribune is supposedly considering quitting the biz as well to sell, but who to I don't have a clue. I know you can't have one person own two teams.

Hate to tell ya all, but if we get a 68 million dollar offer, we'll be accepting it, only to buy a share in the White Sox

That deal got a cancer off this club and brought the Sox an offensive weapon for the year who came up with many clutch hits and it also brought a pitcher who threw great while heatlhy. That team overachieved, no doubt, but they did it thanks to the help of that deal.

I think I'm gonna be out late in May, so hopefully they will be playing someone good then.

Great Falls is going to be replacing the rookie team in Arizona. They will now play in the Advanced Rookie Pioneer League. Here's a short clip from back in September that I found in our archives. http://www.soxnet.net/affiliatechange.html

Robinson deserves it. He did the admireable thing throughout his incredible moment, which helped give all other African Americans a chance. He was an amazing athlete and if I recall he was great at track and field as well as baseball.

I'll be rooting for you too Jim. You seem like such a humble player with the right attitude. All I can say is Jamie Moyer, look what he's done and he can't even touch the 90's. Keep working hard and I think you can do it

Snatch is a great movie.

Three Kings Rocks, Cali. One out the blue movie I think is hillarious is Milking the Guy. Others are Office Space, American Pie, and Road Trip. All of those kick ass. I've never seen "Milking the Guy", but it sounds porno-ish. Lol, I meant Milking the Cow.

I'm excited to see the changes to the stadium. This year JR has done some really good things; but like I have repeatedly said, it will take some time and say *cough* *cough* a World Series Championship and I'll forget!!

I wonder when they plan the schedule, if they think about things like that. Like I wonder if Bud Selig's Brewers have great opponents on weekends or if he has crappy schedules as well. You can't make every team happy, but you can at least try. Afterall, we play the Tigers upteen times, why not get the TWins on the weekend a lot more, since those are supposed to be the big rivals fighting for the playoffs. Common sense says you want those in the race playing eachother when more fans can make it to the games.

As long as its only temporary thats fine by me. I don't have a problem starting Olivo out really slow, gradually giving him more games. That way he doesn't get rushed into the fire. By the way, Welcome aboard Rowand44.

I tend to agree with you Rowand, but I think Sammy is an amazing player as well. I'd put Sammy in left and Maggs in right and forget about Lee and Alou. In center there is no question in my mind that Borchard is better then Patterson. I think Patterson will be a bust, but he could prove me wrong. He has some of the worse plate discipline I've ever seen and has a very long swing to go with it. I'm starting to think Borchard may just make the team out Spring Training; if not then, then give him one month or two in Charlotte and he'll be up depending. This is the first time I've ever thought about having him up early and if Rowand is hurt, it could be the best way, cause I think Borchard will develop even at the major league level. I also think Rogers article convinced me a bit.

Hey RPS, Here's an idea for the intro and closing songs... Open up with Metallica's "Enter Sandman." Part of the song goes "Exit light, enter night!" Well, aren't the Sox gonna be taking the light out of everyone they face this year? Close with Godsmack's "I stand alone." This song signifies that the Sox will stand alone as the victors at the end of the night. It also signifies that the Sox will stand alone as the World Series champions this year. you know what's funny those are the EXACT songs the Angels play at their games, the go on the field to "Enter Sandman" and when Troy Percival comes out to "I Stand Alone" when he comes in to close. Yep, I was gonna say the same thing. I've gotten so used to hearing enter sandman, especially.

My grievances about corporate naming of sports stadiums and other civil buildings aside. My only fear is what is going to happen if (with the competition in the cellular phone market and with the constant companies going under all the time) U.S. Cellular goes under. IMO, I don't think the company is going to last 20+ years for JR to get all the money over the timespan. Yeah, JR needs to spend the cash on renovations for the park and not sit with two thumbs up his ass. We've got a great team built this year, so we most definitely do not need a PR disaster to f*** up attendance. I guarantee they get bought out or undergo a name change at one point.
