QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) Everyone needs to chill out and remember last year. The whitesox were linked to just about every FA out there. Its the KW smoke screen, the flying under the radar. Remember at Soxfest, Kenny was acting like he didnt know this Iguchi fella. We will know when the move is made, but the White Sox will be linked with every single FA until the move is made. No one is freaking out, it's just a good discussion on Piazza's worth.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) Nomar is definatley a better option than Piazza. He's still a good athlete and showed late last season that he can still handle the bat. Once again your going after an injury proned guy and thats something I'd like to see the Sox stay away from. I definitely take my chances on Nomar over Piazza, that's not even tough imo. Like you said though, I'd prefer not to go after any of these guys.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) And YOU guys assume that they would be interested in a player who has no GG's is coming off of a year in which he was a pedestrian hitter just because they happen to play the same position? Is that about right? One person.

Thanksgiving is always interesting for me as my parents are divorced and usually I'll switch off years on who's family I spend the holiday with. The problem is neither I or my parents usually remember who I was with last year. So to answer the question I have no clue what I'm doing this year.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) You ever feel really awake in the morning after a night of no sleep? I felt more chipper than I do with 8 hours. Of course, it's gonna hit me around midday. Yup, I'm fine right now but after my first class I'll probably just want to pass out somewhere.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 08:17 AM) I concur. Just over four and a half hours last night. Went to bed at 11:40, fell asleep around 2:20. Got up at 6:40. I fell asleep at about 4:30 this morning and woke up at 5:30 for no reason, then just squirmed in my bed for about an hour and a half before I decided to get up and get something to eat.

Happy bday queen.

Sleeping is hard.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) But I think most Sox fans are like me - we simply won't pay our own hard earned cash to get into the park. There is nothing I'd rather spend my money on more then the Sox.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) I don't want any of them. If the Sox are going after Frank for a full time DH or Piazza as a full time DH, the club is going to be in trouble. I'm sorry, nothing Frank has done the past few years have given me any reason to think he'll come back from this injury and play 130 games. That's fair and I agree, as much as I love Frank I'd much rather bring in a dh that we can count on, however if we're taking a chance on someone give me Frank over Mike.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 12:57 AM) I'm totally with you on this thing bigger idea. That said, everyone wishing that Thomas will stay healthy and put up great numbers should realize Piazza is a more sure thing to stay healthy and at least put up average DH numbers. I'm not saying it would be a good move. That said, it wouldn't be a horrid move if no other options panned out. That said, if they lost Konerko and than signed Piazza as a DH, moved Dye to 1st and started Anderson everyday I'd be one pissed off fan. I'd rather take a chance on Frank compared to Piazza, Mike hasn't swung the bat well for a while now, Frank proved in 04 he could still hit. Obviously the whole staying healthy part is going to be Franks main concern but I think if we can get him healthy, he can still swing that bat.

QUOTE($I Need Money$ @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) sosa is a free agent? lol what if the white sox signed him? You don't have to worry about that.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 10:17 PM) Perry Saturn? Bald head, lazy eye? That guy was a total cock. Is he still wrestling?? Good ol' WCW.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) no I'd rather have Carl over Mike...no question.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) cept Piazza can DH and Widge - no way he is an everyday DH... Piazza can't hit anymore either, he's just not a good player at this stage of his career.

Yucky.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) eddie guerrero abused drugs and alcohol and while he and everyone else in the wrestling world uses steroids, they are not the reason he died. rip eddie. And you know this how?? I would be willing to bet that steroids played a big part in this, he was a small cruiserweight in wcw and the guy bulked up like crazy in the wwf. RIP Eddie.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 03:35 AM) It's all unproven speculation. I'd like to see Rowand to NYY for Wang. Then, send Contreras, Marte and El Duque to Florida for Delgado and cash. Anderson can play cf and Delgado can be the DH or 1b depending on the Konerko situation. Buy low, sell high. Rowand and Contreras are peaking in the eyes of many right now. Now is the time to make a move. No way in hell I want to trade Jose, I know you seem to believe his value won't get any higher and that may be true but imo he'll be our best pitcher next year and it would not be smart to get rid of him.

Doing my best qwerty impression: They're FREE throws.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Stevenson got OWNED! :headshake Of course you'd be the first one to post this.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Is Kirilenko injured? He's only played 10 mins. Oh and I guess Willie's at the game tonight. He hasn't been online in a while, Bulls might have pissed him off to the tune of a heart attack or something.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) No wonder he said he gets a better read of the ball in CF? Rowand plays a deep center , so he gest to allot of balls in the gap... but he was one if not the worst CF's trying to get those gimme loopers in short CF. That drove Ozzie Crazy all year long, he even reinstated that in the playoffs when Rowand was plying to deep and let potetially tying and winning runs on during each playoff series. The bottom line is that Abreu gives us much more than Rowand will ever give us. If it takes for Rowand to go to get Abreu.. like DJ says it best.. Bye , bye... cya Rowand... give me Abreu any day over Rowand. Well duh but that's not the point. If you want to move Pods into center though then I'd rather keep aaron over bobby cause Pods would cost us a ton of runs there, but if Abreu were traded here for Rowand and others then Anderson is going to be in center.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 06:02 PM) You can go back to last season and dig out the same articles from a year ago that said the Sox payroll was going to be I know what's being reported in the paper, but I've also followed this organization too closely, for too long, to take everything that's printed in those papers at face value without filtering them through my own patented Bulls*** Detector© and drawing my own conclusions. Bingo.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) First game I actually get to watch. yaya ^^^

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) Yes he can. No, he sucks in center.
