  1. QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Jan 23, 2007 -> 01:22 PM) \Another thing is if you can't get DTV then get the MLB.TV feed, I've had it 2 years straight and didn't mind it at all, if you want it doesn't take a genius to hook up a computer to your tv to watch the internet on your tv also. Do what I do and have a family memeber in Chicago hook up a slingbox. One time fee for the slingbox and i have every comcast cable ready channel here in Hi. Bulls, Bears, Blackhawks, Sox everygame with a decent picture. I can even hook it up to an HD box if i want to pay for the comcast reciever.

    QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 02:03 AM) I'd be dead without my tivo and I still can't see how people watch tv without it..I mean, watching live tv is so 20 years ago Couldn't have said it better Tivo series 2 80hr with DVD Burner
  6. Looking for a place to watch game 7 where fans will actually be watching the game? Live in Uptown so relative suggestions please! , sorry prawn
  7. QUOTE(SnB @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 12:57 PM) But "the office" is the best show on TV. Beat me to it
  8. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) I would rather have done that but the problem is that Anderson is viewed as being MLB-ready right now while Young isn't. We need a center fielder now. KW must invision a future outfield of Owens in LF, Anderson in CF, and Sweeney in RF. But if KW is turning around and trading for an OF, include BA rather than Young
  9. not sure why, but id prefer BA traded than Young. The way it sounds, KW is going to turn around and trade Garlnd for RP and possible an OF.
  10. sorry im bored, but did anyone hear about this. Was printed in the Boston Globe
  11. was reading on a mlb forum and loved this quote.
  12. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 03:03 AM) And i'm not too concerned about finding somebody to replace the 2 mediocre ones we lost this offseason. Then lets dream, I'll take Crawford for garland over Abreu. Throw in Baez too.
  13. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 03:01 AM) Nah. It's pretty clear we are going for the jugular, and this is a NEW ERA for us Sox fans (and the team in general). we need bullpen arms
  14. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) A Garld for really good OF deal is coming, and Abreu is the leading candidate... you guys are nuts
  15. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:48 AM) I believe Williams exposed one division of an upcoming move by including Vizcaino. Garland will be traded for, at the least, one reliever capably of substituting Viz or Marte. So garland for a reliever straight up. better be gagne.
  16. QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:41 AM) I think we'll know why the Sox did this move in about 10 days. right on
  17. how and why is there no trust with BMac being the 5th starter?
  18. why do we need another starter? Whats the next trade, I believe Bmac will be a starter still.
  19. why is this old thread merged with the new one? I not going to look through it all, I just spent the last 3 pages wondering what the f*** till i saw the dates. anywho, sporting news reported that its neither Jose or LG, but El Duque and young. I know that it is somewhere in the 40+ pa ges, anyone have a rough estimate of what page number?
  20. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) This actually should have been done by OSHA years ago. Why will they protect people like mill workers from bad air, but they won't protect groups like waiters/resses, bartenders, and servers? These people are working in an enviornment that has cancer causing agents in the air, and OSHA didn't do anything. I could care less about the consumers, as they can make their dollar vote, but when it comes down to workers, the US government has set the precedent that people should not have to choose between a paycheck and living, and there is no reason that should not continue here. As a bartender, thank you. Smoke Free Chicago

  23. COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Minnie Minoso and Buck O'Neil were among 39 candidates selected by a screening committee to appear on special Negro Leagues and pre-Negro Leagues ballots for election to the Hall of Fame. The Hall said Monday that a 12-man selection committee will meet Feb. 27 in Tampa, Fla. Thirty people will be on the Negro Leagues ballot and nine on the pre-Negro Leagues ballot, and to gain election a candidate must receive at least 75 percent of the ballots cast. The screening committee considered 94 candidates recommended by Hall of Famers, historians and fans. Former commissioner Fay Vincent chaired the screening committee but did not vote, leaving the selections to specialists Adrian Burgos, Dick Clark, Larry Hogan, Larry Lester and Jim Overmyer, who were appointed by the Hall's board of directors in July. "The final ballots represent players, managers, executives and builders who are top-tier candidates and worthy of review for consideration for election to the Hall of Fame," Vincent said in a statement. After his Negro Leagues career, Minoso played in the majors from 1949-64, making brief comebacks in 1976 and 1980. He hit .298 in the majors with 186 homers and 1,023 RBI. O'Neil did not play in the major leagues. The nine pre-Negro Leagues candidates are Frank Grant, Pete Hill, Home Run Johnson, Jose Mendez, Spot Poles, Dick Redding, Louis Santop, Ben Taylor and Sol White. The 30 Negro Leagues candidates are Newt Allen, John Beckwith, William Bell, Chet Brewer, Ray Brown, Willard Brown, Bill Byrd, Andy Cooper, Rap Dixon, John Donaldson, Sammy Hughes, Fats Jenkins, Dick Lundy, Biz Mackey, Effa Manley, Oliver Marcell, Minoso, Dobie Moore, Alejandro Oms, O'Neil, Red Parnell, Alex Pompez, Cum Posey, George Scales, Mile Suttles, Candy Jim Taylor, C.I. Taylor, Cristobal Torriente, JL Wilkinson and Jud Wilson. The selection committee that will vote includes Todd Bolton (Latin America), Greg Bond (19th century), Adrian Burgos (Latin America), Dick Clark (Negro Leagues), Ray Doswell (overall knowledge) Leslie Heaphy (women's history, Negro Leagues), Larry Hogan (overall knowledge), Neil Lanctot (Negro Leagues eastern teams), Larry Lester (Negro Leagues), Sammy Miller (Eastern and Western teams), Overmyer (Eastern teams and 19th century) and Robert Peterson (overall knowledge). Each of the voters will select "yes" or "no" for each candidate, a different procedure than used in the regular Hall ballot, in which eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America can select up to 10 players. The commissioner's office gave the Hall a $250,000 grant in July 2000 to start a study on the history of blacks in baseball from 1860-1960. The Negro Leagues committee and the old veterans committee elected 18 men from the Negro Leagues from 1971 until the old veterans committee was abolished after the 2001 vote: Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, Ray Dandridge, Leon Day, Martin DiHigo, Bill Foster, Rube Foster, Josh Gibson, Monte Irvin, Judy Johnson, Buck Leonard, Pop Lloyd, Satchel Paige, "Bullet" Joe Rogan, Turkey Stearnes, Hilton Smith, Willie Wells and "Smokey" Joe Williams. The 2006 BBWAA ballot will be announced Nov. 29 and results on Jan. 10
