QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Well, you have to admit, it feels a bit too Griffey. Griffey felt a bit too Griffey. Same with Chavez. Thome seems doable because Philly already has someone to fill his position, are willing to eat a big part of the contract and want to trade him. Speaking of Griff, I wonder if he's on the market now that the Reds have new ownership.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) Pierre has no place on this team. Offensive prodcution goes down, and defensive liabilities go up. Not only that but our payroll goes up essentially from adding Scott Podsednik part 2. Im glad that KW wouldnt think along these lines, because we would SUCK. I think everyone agrees as the current team is concocted, he has no place on the team. The argument on whether or not the guy is a bum like you and some others are making him out to be. It's not like the guy came back from 2 broken legs and is turning 43 in December. He had one bad year. Big whoop. It's a bad logic to think that someone is done after having one bad year. I'm glad K-Dub doesn't think along your lines, because in that case we would SUCK EVEN MORE!

QUOTE(SouthSide2004 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Why is this? If the Phillies eat half of his contract then we are only paying just over 7 million a year. That's less than what Thomas made last year. Plus, Kenny has already said one of his top priorities is to add a left-handed bat. This move would kill two birds with one stone. Cas some people on this board aren't smart enough to realize that and just think a move would be "too big" for the White Sox. And I'm seen as a pessimist around here, ha.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) He was one of the biggest disappointments in all of baseball last year. Check out that on-base percentage. You want that, coupled with bad defensive play, as a member of your 2006 outfield? You can have it. Yeah, because 1 year makes a career. I guess the Sox should look back into acquiring Esteban Loaiza since he had a great 1 year.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Juan isn't trash at all, he's been a very good leadoff hitter for all of his career. That being said there really is no room for him on this team. My thoughts exactly. I wonder what the perception of Scott Podsednik was on this board a year ago.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) Mine was quick and (oh so Cliche') was on Valentines Day. I worked at a Flower Shoppe, and my co-worker also made jewelry as a side hobby. I ordered all of the pieces to the ring(stone, clasp, ring) and he put it together for me for about 1/4 of the cost of getting one at a store. He finished putting the ring together about 4 hours before I was set to propose. Anyhow, i got off of work, and got one of her favorite flowers( a yellow rose, she doesnt like red roses) and tied the ring to the bottom of it with a long strand of ribbon, and shoved the ring up my sleeve. I went home and she was getting ready to go to work, and I walked up to her and said "Happy Valentines day" and gave her the rose, she smiled and took it from me and the ring pulled out of my sleeve and just hung there for a while. She looked at it and said "what is that?", I dropped to my knee and proposed, in the bathroom of our s***ty rental house. Sure, it wasnt the eiffel tower in Paris, or at any of the various beautiful state parks in Southern Illinois, or even the first place we met(the pizza resteraunt we both worked at), but the sheer surprise on her face was worth it. She honestly had no idea what I was up to. And she was even happier with her ring, which was a large chip of her birthstone(Yellow Topaz) set next to a row of inset diamonds. Originality always hits big with spouses, unless they are uber-superficial. So she kept the ring and said no? Man, that sucks.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) I will actually say that I think you are wrong. I saw a picture in my GIRLFRIENDS mag a while back and it was Leinhart with kristin from LB at a benefit. I think they did date. I'm inclined to say he's right. They did not date. Do they know each other? Yes. That's a whole different thing than dating, however. That picture is how the rumor was started, but unless they dated for a week, it didn't happen.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) Unless things change big time, (Which they could, we did just win the World Series) I dont see the Sox being stuck with these huge contracts. The one thing the Sox have never had to worry about in the offseason is trying to find someone to take on a huge contract we are trying to unload. While that also means we dont dish out the $$$, it can also be a blessing. Like most have said, unless the Marlins pay a good amount of Delgados contract, I dont see the Sox paying a 36-37 year old 18 mil. Just not there ways. 16 Mil. Those 2 million a year make a big difference.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) As far as the new LB goes, I may or may not watch it. If it doesn't have any of the originals, probably not. I may watch that show with LC on it to see if its any good, but it kinda looks stupid IMO. I think Laguna Beach was probably at its best when it first came out and with the original cast like LC, Kristin, Stephen, Talan, Dieter, Lo, etc. I thought this season was good, just not as good as the first. Yeah, Dieter and Talan kept it real. Lo & LC didn't seem like best friends like in season 1. In fact, Lo wasn't on much at all on Season 2. I didn't even know LC had a sister. Trey was also pretty good. I probably won't watch Season 3. I know there will be little of the Season 1 and 2 casts.

If you're asking me personally: 1)City(I'd like to play in a nice big city) 2)Cash 3)My chances of winning(I'm only 19, so it's not as important) For MLB players, just flip-flop 1 and 2.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) you don't happen to wear pink polos, with the collar up........and gel your hair for your 8 AM class too do you? Actually... Lol, I wear polos, but I hate guys who wear pink and I think popping your collars is the most stupid look that white people took from Snoop Dogg stupidly which brought it to the mainstream. I'm in fact part of the "Anti-Collar Popping Klan" on facebook. I hate that goddamn look. And I also let my beard grow out half the time. I gel my hair, but if I run out of gel, I'm in no rush to buy more. I just go with the Crede-look.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) They have stopped taping and "guided" them I've been told.. Like that fiasco with Jason and LC.. at the fashion show supposedly Jason and her got into a second confrontation in front of her father and her father had some words for Jason. LC is a fashion major and already has an internship with a pretty large designer so her butt was on the line with that show. Jason totally could have effed up some major things for her. I haven't watched last nights yet, but in last weeks show I thought it was funny how she told him he could stop by but her father would not allow him in the house. That guy is such a moron. I hope he's not good enough to be being looked at by any major league scouts.. From what I heard, he isn't anything major as a pitcher. A career minor-leaguer at best if he decides to play baseball. And yeah, I heard that they guide them more so than stop taping and telling them to re-enact stuff. The reasoning is that the first time you show emotion is the best footage to catch because it's natural. Basically they do what they do on the Real World which is push their feelings.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) there are this many guys that are into this show? wow. Yes. I am open about it and it helps me get chicks by having vast knowledge of Laguna Beach, and O.C.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) They were at 10 Pin the week before. And 2 of them were at Crobar on Saturday. Also, they were in town(I think the whole cast or alot of it) to do something at Loyola. Most of the girls on that show is hot. And I don't know how much they acted and how much was real(too long of a discussion) but I know they were in High School when they did the tapings. And it makes sense for them not to record much on MWF because those kids gotta be doing some type of homework sometime and I'm sure the footage would've been boring for that time. Season 3 didn't look interesting enough for me. I mean if you think about it, it would be the same repetitive storylines. There isn't much that wasn't covered. I'm more interested in "The Hills" which is the LC spinoff because it would be fun to watch them(original cast) grow up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) This rumor has pretty much been gone back to being pure speculation. And if the deal is done, it probably still won't include Corey.

Damn, look who was right: I don't see any sign of Corey Patterson in that deal. Ship Rowand off to the Marlins for Delgado.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) I'd rather have Carl over Mike...no question. Add me to that list.

I kind of don't like this move. Gimme the Delgado or Abreu or Helton or Thome. You want washed up, this guy is it.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Disney will miss Pixar. I think that will end up being the case as well. I saw Derailed this weekend. Started slow, but I wasn't dissapointed at all. I ended up loving it.

One of the only things I liked about the Bears win is their orange jerseys. They looked really nice. I wish they would get orange pants and mix those with the white jerseys or blue jerseys once in a while. I also wish they wore more of that blue jersey and blue pants combo.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) We also seem to have a surplus of pitchers, and several more in the minors that can be of trade value. PLus, more teams are looking for pitching, so we may be able to get a premium for some of ours. Has Garland's stock even been higher? Don't get me wrong, I like Johnny, but for the right player, I think we could replace him. Do we have any guys who are ready to replace Garland in the rotation? No. Do we have any guys who are ready to replace Rowand? Yes.

Where'd you get this info?

R.I.P. He was one of my favorite wrestler's. I bet it was from 'Roids though. Vince McMahon(according to Rowdy Roddy Piper) made some guys take them.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) What was the previous record for missed FG return? I think 103 by Chris McCallister with Baltimore. IIRC, he's the only other guy to do it in history.

Oh, and XBOX is going to be $300 not $400 IIRC.
