I was there last year, had a terrific time. I'll definitely be going again this year.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) A lead off guy who doesn't walk all that much and a career OPS of .730. I get a kick out of how they are trying to steal the Sox formula for success. THEY STILL NEED A BULLPEN!!! Pierre can hit, he had a down year last year but he's been a pretty damn good leadoff man for most of his career.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) The Yankees overpaying another guy who's approaching the backside of his career? Yay. Boo, cause I was hoping somehow someway he'd reach free agency.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) Hideki Matsui - OF - Yankees The Yankees and outfielder Hideki Matsui are nearing an agreement on a four-year deal worth about $50 million, The Associated Press reports. That'd be quite a raise for a player who was little better than expected while fulfilling the $21 million contract he received three years ago, and considering that he's now 31, he's a worse bet for the future than he was back then. Of course, since he brings in revenue just by being on the team, he doesn't need to be a $12 million-per-year player to be worth the money. Nov. 14 - 7:47 pm et Source: The Associated Press Boo.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) I got nothing but respect for Arod. I'm not the type of person that will hate a player for signing a contract that owners gave them. This I completey agree with and that's why I wanted everyone to know that I didn't hate Maggs for the contract he signed last offseason but for the other crap he pulled.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Bobby Abreu is a right fielder. I think he meant that row and Vernon play the same position.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) TNA could possibly be on the way to being that legit contender. They concentrate more on the actual matches and feuds and they're not trying to be a soap opera/sitcom. They have some decent up-and-comers like AJ Styles, Monty Brown and Team Canada. They've been picking up the right people when they leave/get released from WWE, such as Rhino, Christian, Gail Kim and Team 3D ( The Dudley Boyz ). With a good push from Spike TV and a little luck ( and a LOT fewer title reigns for Triple J aka Jeff Jarrett ), TNA could be what wCw was always too stupid, hokey and dollar-foolish to be. A friend of mine told me I had to see this match between AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels, I watched it and my god it was amazing. Haven't watched WWF in years and havent watched wrestling at all probably since WCW started to suck but that match was unreal.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) A little birdy told me that season ticket holders are up to just under 17K... Dayum, that's impressive. I'll ask the Bones question again: Anyone have an idea when the ozzie plan comes out?

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.
