QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 22, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) So when exactly do you want the Sox to make their Home Opener? June? The Sox home opener in '05 (April 4th) is still one of the most pleasant games I've ever attended. I'm just giving examples. The Sox can play opening day the 9th or 13th game of the season. They'll get more home games later to balance it out.

Okay, every damn year games get rained/snowed out or people freeze their asses off in the first two weeks of the season. What did mlb do this year? Why help that along of course! Tampa Bay Rays - warm climate and a dome: Mon, Mar 31 @Balt 3:05 PM Wed, Apr 02 @Balt 7:05 PM Thu, Apr 03 @Balt 7:05 PM Fri, Apr 04 @NYY 7:05 PM Sat, Apr 05 @NYY TBA Sun, Apr 06 @NYY 1:05 PM Mon, Apr 07 @NYY 7:05 PM Toronto Blue Jays - dome team: Mon, Mar 31 @NYY 1:05 PM Wed, Apr 02 @NYY 7:05 PM Thu, Apr 03 @NYY 7:05 PM Minnesota Twins - dome: Mon, Apr 07 @CHW 4:05 PM Wed, Apr 09 @CHW 8:11 PM Thu, Apr 10 @CHW 8:11 PM LA Angels - nice weather Mon, Mar 31 @Min 8:10 PM Tue, Apr 01 @Min 8:10 PM Wed, Apr 02 @Min 8:05 PM Thu, Apr 03 @Min 1:10 PM Texas Rangers - decent weather Mon, Mar 31 @Sea 6:40 PM Tue, Apr 01 @Sea 10:10 PM Wed, Apr 02 @Sea 10:10 PM Fri, Apr 04 @LAA 10:05 PM Sat, Apr 05 @LAA 9:05 PM Sun, Apr 06 @LAA 3:35 PM Seattle Mariners - dome Mon, Mar 31 Tex 6:40 PM Tue, Apr 01 Tex 10:10 PM Wed, Apr 02 Tex 10:10 PM Fri, Apr 04 @Balt 7:05 PM Sat, Apr 05 @Balt 7:05 PM Sun, Apr 06 @Balt 1:35 PM Mon, Apr 07 @Balt 7:05 PM It goes on, but you get the point. They're sceduling dome/warm weather teams either vs. other dome/warm weather teams or on the road in icebergs like NYC, BOS and CHI. In major league baseball, there are exactly enough warmish weather/dome teams to support two 4 game homestands at the beginning of the season. Angels Astros Athletics Braves BlueJays Brewers Rays Marlins Mariners D'Backs Rangers Dodgers Twins Giants Padres I don't see why these 15 locations just can't be rotated so that the season can start on March 24 or something so that the World Series doesn't have to end in November.

If they count walks, you are giving up a lot. Wright had nearly 100, Braun had like 25.

Must have been one huge-ass carrot.

Here's where you can gloat, whine, ask questions etc. Have at it!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 02:06 AM) That almost looks like a Photoshop.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) 1 year for 100,000 pizzas, 5,000 KFC buckets, and 2 turtle doves. Turtledoves have too much fat in them. Minor league deal with an invite to ST.

http://palehose8.blogspot.com/ Thanks Carl. If you're out there, I for one appreciate the work that you do.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 03:30 AM) Also, by no means do I want them on the Sox, but I'm surprised nobody is taking a chance on Sosa or Mike Sweeney. Nobody will sign them on the cheap. Sweeney signed with the A's. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...7&fext=.jsp

I'd just like to add:

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:21 PM) That would be a miserable deal. Yippee -- let's trade arguably our brightest young pitcher for a non-elite 30-year old second-baseman just to fill the imaginary hole of not having a "leadoff man". QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) Wow. I remember you being all over Roberts when we were discussing signing Iguchi to a longer term deal before the 2007. Sign me up for Bartolo, he still has to prove himself so nothing's quite a guarantee. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 01:28 AM) I don't remember this. Do you recall the context in which I said whatever it is that I said? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57302

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) One more thing...if the White Sox were to sign Colon, and then try to move Floyd in response...that pretty much destroys any trade value that those couple good starts last year or a good ST might build. Because why would another team want him if the White Sox think a guy who's arm is about to fall off is a better pitcher? Only as trade bait to get a 2b I'd say.

They probably offered him a mlb contract, guaranteed 1 year deal with a 2nd year option. No one else probably offered him an mlb deal except for the Sox.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) Too bad there's a huge difference in trade value between the two. Yeah. Here's hoping that Floyd looks good in ST then.

I'd sooner deal Floyd than Danks if we're going for Roberts.

Muhammed's image is not offensive here, Lindsay Lohan's liver spots are.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) Orlando Cabrera is 33, Uribe situation is a non-issue and to characterize Swisher as a .260 hitting K machine is a joke. Always the nitpicker...

Hqve q good one! (Inside joke)

If they get rid of Masset for Fatolo, KW has had an offseason to be fired over. 1. Waste money on Uribe 2. Move Garland, a solid #3 SP who is 27 for a 35 y/o SS 3. Drain your already weak minors on a guy who averages .260 with many Ks 4. Then Masset/Floyd gone for Colon. Ridiculous.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) And to whoever started the "I bet the Giants will pick up Inge before we can trade them Crede because we always have all of the bad luck and all of the other teams have everything go right for them like when the Tigers won the World Series in 2006 and made the playoffs last year and the Sox didn't win the World Series in '05." Joe Buck would be confused.

The man was a pitcher, IIRC. Maybe the Marlins needed a LOOGy.

I worked at Little Caesars too. I don't eat their pizzas.
