QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) Hmm. Byrd would be a very solid sign don't you think? I think so. I think he'd be a great replacement for Scott Elarton in their rotation. They need Kevin Millwood or a Kevin Millwood type though, afterall he was only their best pitcher last season.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) Best moment of the night was when Killingsworth made that dunk to put us on top for a little bit. The place erupted insanely; my ears ring, just thinking about it. I absolutely loved it, and had a great time, despite the outcome. However, Killingsworth simply can't do it on his own. He made more mistakes than he's made against the lesser opponents, but he still had his best game, by far in a Hoosier uniform. The guards weren't there tonight; we couldn't buy a basket outside of the paint. Killingsworth had half of our 3's; it won't work like that. We definitely could have had this one. It didn't happen though. Now will you please change that digusting sig and avy?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) Con Air That's one of my favorite movies.

QUOTE(OilCan @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) Hmmmm...Paul Byrd as an Indian....interesting. Gotta hand it to Paul, he can still give you around 5-7 good innings an outing. He's a solid 4-5 starter, would be a definite upgrade over scott elarton for them.

Definitely a good signing for the Padres.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) he takes a ton of pitches. Everytime I have seen him against the Braves and other teams he is taking a ton of pitches. He is an ideal lead off man. His at-bats usually last around 11 pitches and he can get on base. Wilkerson imo should and will be a 25-30 homer guy, he strikes out a ton and ideally should not be at the top of the order. He does walk a lot and that's really the only reason that people think of him as a top of the order hitter, he's not the kind of guy the sox are thinking as of a two hitter, they want a speedy leadoff type who can bunt and move guys over when necessary.

I could care less what espn thinks of us but some of the stuff they say or show are just so bad cause they don't research anything. Well just now on SC they showed our ss for next year was Jose Uribe. They also showed a chart with Pods in cf saying that he's likely to move over there when just in kenny's conference call he said that Anderson will be in center as of right now. Good work as always, espn.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) it seems to me that no one on this board has any faith in anderson...yet i get the impression that in a couple years these same people will welcome young owens and sweeney. just out of curiousity, why? young is a better power prospect and owens is fast, but why couldnt anderson hit 280 20 70? It's not the fact that people don't have faith in Anderson it's just the fact ozzie would like to add a number 2 hitter to move Tad down. No offense to Wilkerson at all but I don't think he's what Kenny and Ozzie are looking for in a 2 hitter.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) true, but game 1 had the most massive NA NA NA NA chant of all time. By far my favorite memory of any sporting event i've ever been at. Pods walkoff for me...sorry.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) i think i'd have to put that number 2 on the list, just barely though. (game 1 of the 2005 alds) There's something about a closed arena that makes it THAT much louder That was probably the only time I could actually hear anything in the 3 games I was at. The other times something big happened..the gooch homer, or the paul granny, pods walkoff,etc, I was going to crazy I couldnt even hear the crowd.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Konerko is scheduled to join B and B on the Score any minute now. Just wanted to let everyone know. Thanks for the heads up.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Some great quotes:

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) SJ - $3.5 million Who the f*** is that?

Thanks for everything Frank.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) That puts the Sox' predicted payroll at $87.475 (or $88.475 if he makes $13M next year) for the 2006 season. Thome = $6M Konerko = $12M/$13M That still allows us some payroll flexibility if needed.

So...Kenny Williams is god. Anyone disagree?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) Im sure you'll say something stupid in the future. When you do, see this post... :headshake :headshake

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) 65/5? We overpaid. No way is Konerko worth $13 million a year, objectively. But with the money bins that medicore relief pitchers arae building today, in the context of the inflated FA market this year we may have actually underpaid. Hehe.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) :headshake :headshake :headshake Fans, be happy!!! We have a top three 1-2 punch in the league. BE HAPPY! Why you headshaking at me, what did I do?

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) I think there is a chance they still bring Frank back in a platoon role with Thome. Check out their splits. Frank hits better against lefties and Thome hits better against righites. Neither are platoon players.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I would've thought KW would have some loyalty toward Big Frank. Oye ve, we all love Frank but what do you want: Frank Thomas on the team or another world championship?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) pierre iguchi thome Konerko dye aj crede uribe pods We would want a Pierre type so we can hit him 2nd and utilize gooch at the bottom of the order, SO we get Pierre and keep tad in the 2 hole.....BRILLIANT

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) This makes my winter. We might as well send Kenny on a plane to the Caymans for the winter, because the hard work is done for the REAL executive of the year. Welcome back Pauly So we got a team that just blew through the playoffs, we bring virtually the same pitching staff back with a better 5th starter and a full year of Bobby Jenks, and we add one of the leagues best left handed sluggers to team up with pauly in the middle of the order. I think I'm satisfied.

Is it spring training yet?
