QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 07:47 PM) This web page should give you 100% of the details you're wanting, including MLB Service time, options, bonii (Pablo gets $15,000 if he wins a silver slugger award? Huh?), money coming in from Philly/Az, etc. A few details might be wrong, but overall it looks accurate. http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/c...-white-sox.html It may a dumb question, but under salaries, what does AUTO stand for? The minimum?

Another thing I hate about tne "U"! How many games went on last year, where MANY times the first pitch wouldn't be seen out of the commercial break. HEY People at the "U"!!!! You want to get your advertisements in???? Fine!! But GET YOUR FRIGGIN' COMMERCIALS OFF OF OUR "GAME ON" TIME!..................WILL YOU PLEASE?????? Also....no pre-game or post-game show either!! The description of the station on a continuous basis is.... Working Crappy Insidiously Unanimously

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 07:49 AM) I believe there are plans for reconstructive surgery. The iguana will be undergoing an adadictome later this week. Tex! I thought my one-liner was good with the oriental doctor, but man........you did me in with yours. Still laughing as I type this. One of the best one-liners I've heard in quite a while. Had an extremely tough physical and emotional day at work today. NEEDED a good laugh. Got it ten-fold with your post. Thanks!!!

I think the doctor that is doing the ampuation might be of oriental descent. I think that his name is "Dr. Mehafta Soon Wacknchop"

Here are 2 unique names for a dog. I had 2 friends that each had one of these names for their dog. The 1st one is Dee---Yojee. (D....O....G). The other was a German Shepherd named K'mere. When he called his dog, he said "Hey....K'mere!!!"

Jack & Pats Old Fashioned Meat Market 10717 S, Ridgeland Ave. Chicago Ridge, Ill 60415 (708) 636-3437 All of their meats are Prime, not select or choice. You will not be dissappointed in their meat quality.

I was disappointed when "Clubhouse" didn't last long. Finally a show on tv that was strictly baseball related, and it died suddenly.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) Wow, I really liked Stewart big time. Guess they thought his bat would never be good enough for the majors. Me too! I thought that he had one of the quickest catch/release/throwing accuracy combo's that I have seen in quite a while. I was really hoping that they could do something to help him with his bat. Defensively, he REALLY LOOKED GOOD!

It wasn't really a dumb moment, but it was rather hilarious. Did anyone see the game last year when Pablo Ozuna swung at a pitch after it already reached the catchers mitt? Hawk was laughing hysterically with much bewilderment as to "What the heck was that?" Can't remember who the game was against, or the date, but when I saw it, I was cracking up as well. I must admit,.,.............I never saw anything like it!.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 4, 2007 -> 07:46 PM) 2 in the first inning off Parque and another off him in the third. The 4th came in the fifth inning off Rauch. Damn you editing your post. I was at that game. That's when Cameron and Boone Both went back to back jacks TWICE in the first inning. I think it was the first time in history it was ever done. Cameron hit 4 jacks that day, and when he put the 5th one on the warning track, The Cell gave him a HUGE ovation! And why not? We were down by 7,000,000,000, runs anyway. We saw history the first inning. Why not see history made twice in the same game by being the first to hit 5 jacks in a game? It's a shame it didn't happen. On a different note, somebody quote me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that also Rauch'e ML debut? Can't remember!!

Man O Man! Where I work, we have a couple of guys that are really wacked, but not even close to this "Psycho Keyboard Kid!!" SSHHHEEEEEESH! This kids got some issues! A good swift kick in the crotch by some old fashioned pointed John Lennon Beatle boots is about the only thing that it would take to calm this kid down.

Happy B-Day big guy! Hope you're having a GREAT DAY!!!! I'd be on the lookout though! I only have 43,133 more postings before I catch up to you. I should have them by this Thursday! Anyway, I hope that "YOUR DAY" was terriffic!

Within 5 years you can go to a rookie that looks like a male version of Popeye's Olive Oyl, to the likings of John Coffee from "The Green Mile" by eating nothing but tacos and plenty of mashed potatoes. Add in an occasional protein bar, and voila!!!!! You have an instant extra 48 pounds of muscle.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) Actually, another theory was the record company demanded a Morrison look and feel and he just tossed together some random rhymes. Example: The soxtalk boxtop was walkin' pop the tether shots to see if it has beat upsides . . . I'm a f***in' music genius like Morrison, Dylan, and Springsteen. And little early Buehrle came to spring training very early, and said "Last year my pitches needed a guide!!"

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 08:17 AM) Since this was on Springsteen's first album I always thought it was a critique of the music industry, the spinning your wheels emptiness of youth, and some drug references. If that is what he was writing about, and/or if there was any other source that it was related to, you've got to admit, it took one heck of an imagination to come up with some of those lyrics. This one is a doozy. And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see if it was safe outside And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride

QUOTE(StatManDu @ Nov 23, 2006 -> 09:44 PM) This is something I started as a lark. I update it daily. Just for fun and info -- nothing else. Enjoy! http://journals.aol.com/dmarran359/Soxalmanac/ Pretty cool! And to you sir may I also add "Welcome aboard!!!" Just curious, are you going to add on daily from now on from the date that you started it, and finsh it all the way until next year, or do you plan on going backwards as well, and try and add on your almanac as time is available to look back on for future reference? Either way, keep up the good work. I know that The Sun Times always had a daily spot in their paper during baseball season that's entitled "This Day In Basesball" which is kind of neat. Looking forward to reading "Your Version" that is directed toward The Sox only! Thanks!!!!

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 24, 2006 -> 07:21 AM) Springstein wrote and sang that song first. AAAHHHHH Yes! I forgot! You are quite correct sir! I guess it is now quite clear that we know who had the serious case of "munchies" when the song was written.

Here's one I remember from the 70's. Manfred Man's "Blinded By The Light" Anyone have any suggetions what this guy was on when he wrote the lyrics? Guaranteed one thing! I'm quite sure that he had the munchies at that time....................and saw some nice pretty colors too!!!!! Check out these verses!!! Blinded by the light (Chorus) Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night (Verse 1) Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With the stereo pleasin' and sneezin' and wheezin, the calliope crashed to the ground The calliope crashed to the ground (Repeat Chorus) (Verse 2) Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I got what it takes She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong, play the song with the funky break" And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather charts to see if it was safe outside And little Early-birdy came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride Asked me if I needed a ride Oh she was...Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light, She got down but she never got tired, She's gonna make it through the night She's gonna make it through the night ------ guitar solo ------ (Bridge) But mama, that's where the fun is But mama, that's where the fun is Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun But mama, that's where the fun is (Verse 3) Some brimstone baritone Andy Sack from rolling stone preacher from the east Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin'in the corner,watching the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone,reminding him of romance The calliope crashed to the ground (Repeat Chorus) ~ Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat~ In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat~ With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round~ With the stereo pleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,the calliope crashed to the ground~ Now Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand~ And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy's within earshot save the buckshot,turn up the band~ Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes~ She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong" She got down but she never got tired She's gonna make it through the night

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) I was just checking out the free agent list on Foxsports http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6180634 Looks as if the Giants (if they don't resign anyone) would have over $60mil to spend to match last years payroll. I would be curious as to see these figures for all teams and compare it to what their payroll might be this year. This would tell you who the big spenders would be. Just an observation. Thanks. I also noticed that it had a place to click on that lists all of the major and minor league trades and signings that take place every day.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 12, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) I don't think it would imply it any more than swearing on the Bible implies an official will uphold Judeo-Christian more than the Constitution. The point of the act is to say that you swear to your deity that what you are about to say is true, so if the guy is a Muslim, a Bible would not be appropriate. I don't post very often, mainly because most of my previous replies were usually negative, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate replies on this one as well, but that's OK. You can hate me for disagreeing with me, but at the same time respect me for standing up in what I believe in. The one issue I have is that The Constitution was based on Biblical principles and put together by men that were Christian and were solely convicted that what they were putting together was baseed on the laws of this nation being guided by their biblical and Christian principles that they saw fit to be upheld. The men that put the Constitution together did not use The Koran as their means of guidance and conviction when putting our nations document together, therefore............, if you take your office by ways of an oath by the Koran, and you decide to go against anything that is in the Constitution,............. would you be not held guilty of breaking the law since the oath that you took was one that was from a source other than what the Constitution was based on in the first place? The Bible is what our founding leaders were convicted of and guided by, therefore if someone is going to take office, he/she better agree with it. If not, don't run! Agree or disagree with me! Whichever you choose! But my beef is, that once again, someone is trying to devalue and push out something that our country's rights, laws, and documents are based upon, and that I believe that God would like to see our country run..............on Judeo-Christian values and principles. The ACLU is always on the attack of it as well as other organizations. My OPINION.......If you want to be someone with a voice that help to govern laws in a state in our country, then you' better comply with what our founding fathers based it upon......and take an oath to it that shows your allegiance and respect to it. If you can't do that..............THEN EITHER DON"T RUN FOR OFFICE OR MOVE TO A COUNTRY WHERE YOUR FATHERS MADE THERE LAWS BASED UPON THEIR CONVICTIONS! THIS IS AMERICA! GOD'S COUNTRY! GOD'S HOLY WORD IS THE BIBLE! Simply stated..........RESPECT IT and ABIDE BY IT! OUR COUNTRY IS FOUNDED AND GUIDED BY IT. IF you cannot do that........and you are against , and you want to do whatever is in your power to devalue it........................THEN LEAVE!
