QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) I think a Wild Card could be the Giants... ARod's only 31....

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) BoDog is taking bets... What team will Alex Rodriguez be traded to? Los Angeles Angels 3/1 Boston Red Sox 5/1 St. Louis Cardinals 9/2 Philadelphia Phillies 9/1 Chicago White Sox 7/1 Chicago Cubs 8/1 Seattle Mariners 11/1 Los Angeles Dodgers 9/1 Atlanta Braves 7/1 Field 7/2 I don't understand why the Red Sox have better odds than the White Sox. I suppose it's just because that's what people are betting, like betting the Cubs to win the WS. I guess the Cards and Phillies could land him but they have much more pressing needs and a ton more holes than the Angels or Sox to fill. I don't think Alex would be a great fit at either of those places either because of the circumstances.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 12:45 AM) Me and my pessimistic mindset. However, we have more pitching to offer than anybody and could afford that kind of move. I just don't want to think about it and get all excited, to be perfectly honest. lol. Ha, fair enough. I honestly think though all things considered there is at least a decent shot we get Alex(as good a chance as anyone else). Like Tony said, we'll be linked to this all offseason long until the situation gets settled.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) With that said, if A-Rod is traded, it sure as hell won't be to us. Says who?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 12, 2006 -> 12:11 AM) There's no shame in being shut down by Verlander, but his last two ABs against Grilli (seriously, Jason Grilli!?) and Todd Jones were pretty pathetic. I expect Bonderman to make him look foolish as well. I think we both knew he'd have trouble against Verlander but ya as you said his last bat in particular wasn't very impressive. He had a few great ones to mash.

I'm not going to lie, kind of made me happy to see Frank make the last out tonight.

Be a pretty dumb move not to have him on the 40.

Wow, that's horrible to hear. RIP

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) And instead of Clemens, Pettitte, Oswalt, and Backe, the Tigers get to face the Mets/Cards pitching staffs. SO HARD I personally believe at least 3 of last years CS teams would have won this years World Series and probably all 4. JMO though.

So yesterday on Mike and Mike and BBTN, Steve Phillips basically said that this years Tigers team has a tougher road through the playoffs than last years Sox just cause we didn't have to play the Yankees: "But the White Sox didn't have to play the Yankees."

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 09:30 AM) Yea. We got ours on Saturday. We (ST holders) have been asking them to do this for years - the Bulls used to do it (they may still, but we are no longer bulls ticket holders so I don't know) and it was a little thing that went a long way. Will split season ticket holders get them too or just full?

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 09:21 AM) but I am making the dog wear angel wings and probably a halo. Poor thing. I got a few ideas this year, we'll see what happens.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 08:01 AM) Saw 3 is coming out on 10/27. I'm a big fan of the franchise so I'm looking forward to it. ^^^ Still haven't seen jackass. My friends and I for the last 3 weekends keep saying we're going to go and just always end up doing something else. Hopefully this weekend we'll finally go, cause I really want to see that movie.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 12:06 AM) Really? Both guys are great defensively. The first guy people are willing to give 5/50 to. The second guy got his contract after that year and is now considered overpaid. Ya, it's Juan. Like I said I missed it some how. Joe's season is definitely better but I see the point you're making. Juan definitely isn't overpaid though, I think most people here agree with that.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 11, 2006 -> 12:04 AM) Juan Uribe's '04? Yup. Good call. I missed that some how when sorting through stats.

No one from 00-06 with these numbers. Who is the mystery man?

Must be someone from a different year. Because there is no one from 06 with those stats.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) from what I gathered, the payroll is going to go up a little bit plus Brad Radke and Shannon Stewart's contracts are coming off the books so there is a little flexiblity Gotcha. Still, 12 mill seems like an awful lot for Hunter considering the Twins are still going to have payroll restrictions even if they raise payroll a bit.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 10, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) I assume they will try and deal him though. This way they at least get something for him. They're going to have to. Hunter for 12 mill with their payroll restrictions just isn't going to work.

Boras.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Taken off the AP wire tonight. You still want A-Rod?? Nope. That article has completely changed my mind. Can you guys believe that A-Rod doesn't get along with everyone on his team? What an awful person.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) I enjoy watching the NFL when the teams are good. I do not watch games that don't involved the good teams i mentioned (I didn't watch tonight's game at all, for example, however the box score makes it obvious it was ugly). Then how do you know which teams are good and which aren't?

They're still going to lose to the Tigers.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) Plus, is it really different in MLB? For the most part, you have the elite -- Detroit, both New Yorks, Minnesota. You have the pretty damn good -- Sox, Oakland, Boston, Anahiem. And the rest. And below the rest, you have the NL (sans the Mets, of course). That's how it is in every league. When you have so many teams, that's just how it's going to have to work. I'm interested how you sorted out your list for the mlb teams though. Trying not to jinx your A's?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) Indy is 5-0 and has Peyton Manning. They are on the list. As for your lists, Dallas has no quarterback right now, Seattle hasn't recovered from the loss of Hutchinson, Brady has nobody to throw the ball, and was handed that game by a horrible Miami team, Denver has no offense, and Baltimore has no offense. And who the hell is etc? The NFL, as usual, has 25 or so teams that completely SUCK, which is why I don't understand the popularity of the product of mediocrity. Right now, you have the Bears, Eagles, Chargers, Colts (sort of), Jacksonville, and a pile of poop. I'm sure another team or two will emerge, but this league overall has a crap product. How do you know so much about the league if you think it sucks? You obviously enjoy it if you know all about these teams.
