What's ths story behind this 'secret meeting' yesterday ??? ESPN was RIPPING on them about it.

Does anyone know exactly what is involved when a player takes a 'physical' to join an MLB team? I would imagine it's a lot more involved than what you and I might get at a Dr.'s office, but do they have certain speed, strength, endurance and agility tests they need to pass? Are there MRIs and X Rays involved even if a player is not injured?

After grade school, the school year should be year round, with 2 weeks vacation. Get them ready for the real world. We see a lot of recent College grads and all they do is b**** and moan about work and staying late or putting in Saturdays.

I wanna see him play an instrument.

4 years /52 mil, book it.

The Oscar nominees are out. 'Aviator' is up for best everything. Is it really that good, or are they just in love with Scorsese and DiCaprio. I gotta tell you, I hated 'Gangs of New York' and it was nominated also.

good person. I would have, or at least extorted them for lunch every day. QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Because I wasn't an asshole and didn't turn them in.

If 'going at it' means 'going at it', why was there a 2nd opportunity? The company asked for it. QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) My winner without a doubt has to be the idiots I caught going at it in the print room... who were stupid enough to get caught a second time. :headshake :banghead

What is the reasoning for letting Rowand play center over Pod.?

Thomas was slow last year, probably because of the foot. Let's see how he bounces back, I expect slow.

ROTFLMFAO..........it's not just the Jewish people.

Never really understood Crede over Tony G.......or how we had no use for him. QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) How about KW trades Willie Harris & a pitching prospect to Kansas City for Tony Graffinino & Scott Sullivan?

Uh huh, QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) This picture will explain the "eyebrows" comment...

where in that link is the story?

Eyebrows??

Everything goes in cycles. QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) It's like the late 70's early 80's all over again.

That's a good point, but those places will be bought out for big loot. They'll just take the loot and set up elsewhere. QUOTE(Molto @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) the bad thing is that a lot of companies and small businesses are getting/will get forced out of the area for stores like Starbucks and Home Depot. From the White Sox perspective though, this development is a big win.

The trick is to get in early, before the boom. Make friends with people in city planning and developing or builders. They can give you tips on where things will be in 3-5 years down the road.

You can find brand new, 2 bedroom condos that are going up on the west side, kinda near the United Center in the 200K range. Yes, the neighborhood is still rough, it's a bad idea if you have kids. BUT, if you're single or a young couple and are looking for a gold mine investment, do it. The homes and parking are secure, so you don't really have to hang out in the neighborhood. In less than a year or that same condo will go for 275-300K. A friend of mine did that, he made 150K profit in a year. Took the cash and moved to a home in a great neighborhood. It's easy cash if you can stick it out a year or two. QUOTE(Yossarian @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) Are there any homes in the 150-200K range in the Chicago area, or is that just funny?

It's going to expand way beyond Brideport. The woman also showed me the plans for all the different businesses that will be going up in the area.....Home Depot, Borders Books, Starbucks, etc. Everything in the city goes in cycles and things are about to change again. Look for attendance to be a lot more balanced between both Chicago teams in the not so distant future.

Not sure how many of you know the southside of the city real well, but I happened to be driving near Western and Pershing (39th) over the weekend. There is an old building which used to house the Chicago Public School headquarters, directly across the street from McKinley Park. Anyway, I saw a banner which read: 'so and so lofts coming 2006", so I went in and picked up some literature. They have 2 and 3 bedroom lofts from $270-320K. The woman was telling me that Bridegport and the surrounding areas are gonna boom and will be the new Lincoln Park in 5-7 years. Of course it got me thinking about the Sox and neighborhood and the fan base. I live on the northside, so I'm out of touch, this might be old news to some of you guys. How do you guys feel about all of this??

That explains the $4.25 for a grande. QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) [pretentious=voice] Sir, that "girl" is a barista, highly skilled, and highly trained to make you, your perfect drink.[pretentious=off] I love grabbing a cup at Starbucks, turning on my laptop and getting some stuff done. I could do with out the grande attitude, it's a small, medium, or large. They are starting to get use to me. And yes, leave some room for cream.

It has more to do with the COFFEE that you use rather then the machine you make it in. Buy the coffee from the place you like, make it at home, you'll get the same thing. If you buy crappy coffee and have the girl at Starbucks make it for you in their machine, it's still gonna taste like crappy coffee.

Shingo already has the Gong, what will Iguchi's intro be like? Music, scoreboard graphics, etc.

Only for 6 games..... when the classy northsiders are around. QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) I dunno, that would sound like the crowds saying "gook". Probably not that great of an idea.
