QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 25, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) Yeah. Let's trade Swish while he's at his lowest value point. If Swish 2009 season is a repeat of 2008, his value will be so low you will not be able to give him away. I am not saying that will happen, but the risk is there. Who knows? Management may be willing to get 70 cents on the dollar for Swish and just move on.

I would like to join... 1) I been playing in a pay league for the past 8 years. 2) head to head. 3) First Time with Soxtalk 4) I could commish if I must but I'd prefer not to.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 12:17 AM) He appears to be using more of his lower body now compared to spring training, as well. Any idea of Floyd's velocity? CSN doesn't have their radar gun working. MLB gameday has Floyd hitting 95 with his fastball and 79 with his offspeed.

This is great. I am coming into town on that Sunday for a conference. I have to be at the conference from noon till 4:00, so I didn’t think I could see a game while I’m in town. Now I just need to get some tickets.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) Sirius is a better buy. More total sports plus Howard Stern. XM only has one thing going for it, MLB, that is it. If you want to listen to Stern, get Sirius. If you want to listen to the Sox or real baseball coverage (not just east coast) get XM.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) So did anyone get to hear the KW interview on XM Satellite Radio MLB 175? For those of you who are out of market like myself I would highly recommend getting it. Complete coverage pre & post game. + all the offseason. + all season games. Yes. I received XM for and it is great. Being out east, I never get to listen to the radio about what KW, Ozzie or and Sox news. I only read about what going on or interviews in Soxtalk or from the paper, (the paper never gives you the whole store). Hearing KW today on XM was great and makes me feel that we have one of the best GM in the game. XM is outstanding; I listened to three different segments about how great the Sox are going to be this year.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) Almost identical, just pick a half: Pre All-Star 6 HR, 38 RBI Post Al-Star 10 HR, 33 RBI The only difference is where they bat in the lineup. The difference was in the defense. It was fun watching Uribe in the field. You can’t say that for Tejada. Not only would Tejada take money away to help resign Buehrle. It would also take money that could help, for what little shot we have, to sign Joe Crede.

Just got home from the game. Great game, Great seats, Great team to watch . 4 Sox’s game attended this year 4 Wins. 1 more game next Sunday when I'm back to see my family.

I have tickets for Saturday (12th row behind home plate) and Sunday (1st row upper deck). I am trying to score 2nd row behind the Sox dugout for Friday’s game from a friend of a friend.

thanks

Was the “Player to be named later” announced yet from the Milwaukee trade? If so, whom did the Sox get? If not, I think I heard before that there is a deadline on how long until a team picks the player to be named later. If this is true, does anyone know how long that is?

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jan 29, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Why? so the owners can just stuff all the profits in their own pockets? In '04 Forbes shows team revenues of $3,870,000,000. USA today salaries total $2,071,265,943. That's 54% of the gross. Doesn't sound outrageous to me. Its an entertainment industry, the players ARE the product, after all we don't pay our money to watch Jerry Reinsdorf play do we? 1. The players aren’t the only salaries / expenses teams have to pay out. 2. Not all teams make the money New York and Boston make. 3. Look at these teams Baltimore and Arizona. · Baltimore has a new team in its back yard and attendance has been dropping for the past couple years. Tried to sign player but would not give crazy contracts away. Lost out on 3-4 players who signed for over a 1 mil more then they were willing to pay. Fans in Baltimore are blaming they’re owner for not paying/ offering more money. · Arizona has had the attendance drop for the past couple years. To try and get it back had to sign some big name players. What do they do? Give crazy contracts ($$$) just to get players signed. 80% of the teams can’t afford a team budget of 80 million, but it is OK for 20% of the teams to spend over 110 million. Take 10 lowest salary teams and have them play the 10 highest salary teams and you call that entertainment. I don’t.

2-1 all three games in Baltimore.

Milwaukee

I like it, it helps us out of town folks. You also are faster then Gamecast.
