The Frank scenario is a sticky situation. I think he can still swing the bat when healthy like he did in 04 but the problem is, is he going to remain healthy throughout the season. You can't let Paul walk and bank your middle of the order on Frank, not a very smart move. Now, if we can resign Paul then ya give Frank an incentive ladin deal and see what he can do. Trust me, I want Frank back as much as anyone but the team is bigger then him and you have to do what is best for this team. Anyways, if Paul goes to the angels we could always *gulp* trade aaron and maybe a marte for Gary Sheffield, *ducks for cover*.

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) Anderson probably will not start until after Dye's contract runs out in '07. Anderson is going to be starting in the big leagues somewhere in 06.

Stevenson won a lot to a little.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) I know what you mean. It doesn't mean for sure it's not, but it's a hell of a lot better than saying that it definitely could be one of the Sox players. Puts my mind at ease a little more. My thoughts exactly.

I want Paul back really, really bad for around 12-13 mill. Unfortunately I think it's a possibility that he gets around 15 from the Angels and that's just to much money to shell out to Paul as good as he is. Hopefully we can somehow keep him for a reasonable price.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) I do find it hard to believe an agent would say something prior to the appeal. No matter who it is, Selig was going to wait a while to announce it. No way we're going to hear something until a few weeks after the WS if it's true. Fathom, here's a question: If the agent of this player admitted his player got caught with roids how the f*** did this not leak, we don't even know what agent said this?? These things get leaked so easily and now this agent makes a statement and we got nothing? Seems kind of weird to me.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) I don't think so. I think you are overreading. That said, KW can't be happy with the portrayal of him in Moneyball. While Beane obviously didn't write the book, you must assume that a characterization of Williams would have come from things Beane said about him. KW>Beane. That is all.

Brian Anderson isn't going to be the 4th outfielder, I'm just going to say that for now. I'll post what some ideas within the next few days.

QUOTE(ihatethecubs @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) i got there about 9 am with justin(rowand) and we got awesome spots, stood for about 5 hours total. f***IN AWESOME TIME Who are you?

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) I'm suprised, I was certain the idiots would pick the 04 Red Sox over us. This isn't the poll that you're thinking of from espn. He just calculated the winning percentages from the regular and post seasons. Pretty impressive there, this team was special, period.

Ok, off the top of my head: Opening day game number 2 on the season buehrle game vs the mariners timo walkoff after bullpen debacle and tad error arow homer off hoffman aj walkoff against dodgers juan defensive gem, frank extra inning game winning homer juan triple off rivera, scott gets him home, barely joe joe walkoff against the tribe clincher

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) Garlands starts against the Orioles and Rangers.... they were in that order.... in both games he threw a devastating change up in a clutch time for the K... 1 to Tejada other to Soriano. Than the royals game when Marte got that last out at the plate. That wasn't the last out for the record, it was the bottom of the 9th in a tie game and that saved the winning run from coming in. We then won in extras.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) When was the last time you went to class? I'd say you have bigger problems than I do. My grades are fine thank you very much. You don't need to go to class to get good grades.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) I've completely blocked it from my memory, it was pretty disgusting. You have serious problems don't you?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) Must you always be the center of attention? You always have to butt in, mind your own damn business. Now you should have thought of that when you butted in during mine and willie's argument. :headshake

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) GET A ROOM.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 09:49 PM) Oops, I knew it was one or the other. Let me guess...the chicken pox are getting to you?? :rolly

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) No. Selig delayed Palmeiro's suspension until he recorded his 3000th hit. It's quite possible he followed similiar procedure to limit all the attention a positive steroid testing would have drawn from the World Series. However, if it is a member of the White Sox, and Selig knew several weeks ago, he'll catch so much critcism for allowing this person to play during the series. This rumor will bug for me awhile. And to answer a post of Fathom's earlier, if anyone from our outfield does test positive I want their ass gone. Good point about Palmeiro and I agree with everything you said.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) You guys are so immature. Plastic on the walls? Give me a break. Grow up. ^^^^^^

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) I was in PHT all day. Excuses, excuses. :headshake

Ok, Carrol says he was at the appeals process but in the article it says the appeals process is taking place?? If the appeals process already happened wouldn't our guy have been suspended for the series if it was one of our guys?

LOL, where the hell is a mod when you need one. I can't believe this thread has been in here this long.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) Well the odds are in our favor not just in that its 1 in 4 without looking at the players, but you figure that there is a better than average chance that this rumor will not pan out because it seems more often than not that rumors are false. I wouldn't spend a whole heck of a lot of time thinking or worrying about this now. I always worry about things I shouldn't though. So this will be no different unfortunately and this will be stuck in my mind until the player is announced or after a few weeks pass.

If it's one of our guys it's Aaron. Maybe it's just me hoping but I don't think it's any of our guys.
