Rowand44

What kind of name is Tootoo anyways?

Mediocre but deserves at least this season.

My jewish aunts house. Then tomorrow I actually go with the side of the family who celebrates Christmas.

I was at the game tonight as well. I know absolutely nothing about hockey but had a really great time. Kane is very fun to watch, his assist tonight was beautiful. Fun times.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Dec 22, 2007 -> 05:49 PM) This of season leaves me convinced that the Sox are a cheap organization and Reinsdorf makes it appear he will spends money to assemble, or keep together a winning ballclub. He sucks up too much to Selig and seesm to worship the Yankmees ownership. The Sox deevlop players in their own organization only to turn around and let them go rather than sign them when they are the point to start making money. We have develped some real special players only to see them go by bye. Not to mention the fact our ownereship boycots certain agents. Our payroll makes it obvious that Reinsdorf is indeed cheap. What "special" players have we lost? Maggs? Well it would have been retarded to re-sign him under those circumstances. CLee? That trade indirectly won us a world series. Who else? Aaron Rowand? He's certainly not a special player and even if you consider him that, his trade led us to a more expensive Jim Thome. I don't understand this argument of yours at all.

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 22, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) 'Walk Hard' was enjoyable, especially if you are a johnny cash fan. It was enjoyable, but not great, I probably wouldn't see it again. Yuck, I thought it was awful. Finally got "We are Marshall" for a gift today. One of my favorite movies ever, absolutely loved it.

WE SCORED POINTS!!!!!!!!! But yes, Lee is unreal, he's a NBA player. He's shredded our D twice in two years now.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 22, 2007 -> 01:22 PM) Ugh. I'm afraid of that. Statistically, WKU doesn't look bad. They're real athletic and Courtney Lee is a freakin stud who is pretty much impossible for us to guard because he's so much taller than our guards. TY had a crap load of trouble with him last year and he could guard anyone. If this game was on the road, I'd give us a 0 percent chance but since it's at home, I'll give us like a 10 percent shot.

QUOTE(Brian @ Dec 22, 2007 -> 01:14 PM) If we lose to Western Kentucky, I riot. We're going to get rocked.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 21, 2007 -> 05:20 PM) I think it's generally believed that the record keeping on these guys has improved for the younger ones and the more recent crossovers. Even if he's a bit older it shouldn't effect what he does with us through the length of this contract.

This is good stuff. Very happy even with out knowing the finances.

I'm personally happy that we stayed far away from Hamilton.

Congrats!!

Good.

Worried about the Cubs already? Jebus.

I haven't heard Singleton that much but DJ is awesome. He's not the brightest baseball person in the world but he's improved a ton and he's just entertaining to listen to, imo. Hawk has been the problem for years now, he's the one who refuses to hold actual conversations and he's the one who produces the dead air. I love Hawk because of his passion for the Sox but as an announcer he's pretty brutal at the moment.

QUOTE(R.J. @ Dec 17, 2007 -> 03:33 AM) We have nothing from Gavin Floyd to show us that he's even a capable 5th starter. Outside of two encouraging starts last year, he looked downright ugly. He had a lot more than 2. He had like 5 of 6 quality starts to end this season or something like that. Now that doesn't mean he's going to be a competent 5th starter this season but he definitely had more than 2 encouraging starts. As for either of them ever being top of the rotation starters, I highly doubt it. I pretty much agree with Wite on this one.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 16, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) I seriously can't believe people are still slupring up all over Beane. He has made countless of mediocre decisions and has continued to fail to get the A's to the promised land. He had some really good teams for a couple year span, I'll admit, but the past couple years they have been far more mediocre and they are right with the Sox when it comes to drafting (ie unimpresively). KW some times doesn't trade players soon enough but Beane trades players way too early imo. I obviously disagree with a lot of Beane's principles so to speak but that's one of the main ones as of late.

A Mark Buehrle jersey.

QUOTE(rockren @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) We never drafted a Danks before.......we traded for John.... We've already drafted Jordan, he opted to go to Texas though.

Going to STL tonight for the game. There is supposed to be 6-8 inches of snow on the ground by the time the game is over, so that should be a whole lot of fun.

I'd take a chance on him in a heartbeat for that contract. It's usually an awful idea to hand out that big of a contract but Santana is the best pitcher in baseball and he's a guy I'd take a huge risk on, and obviously this would be one.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 12:32 AM) Of course, a commitment would likely bump up the ranking to a 5, but I'm like that. LOL Here's the problem with that, a commitment to you is like a commitment to a mid major. As we both know, a lot of times an early commitment to a mid major will bump the rating down a little bit. I bet that's something she's pondering.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 15, 2007 -> 12:23 AM) I feel like I'm waiting for a top recruit to commit. A 4.25 is pretty good.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 14, 2007 -> 11:01 PM) He gets way too much hate... Never, not enough hate.
