QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) Got the CS one on Saturday. I expect the WS one at the end of the week or over the weekend. It's sweeeeet. Cool, I should get mine soon...then I have to find a place for it. I also talked to my ticket contact today, and he's getting me a weekend plan in section 116, which I guess would be impossible without him...AWESOME!

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) I am soooo going to get my ass kicked when the CC bills start rolling in. Ha, really. I have been using cash, when I can. And I got my refund on my extra tix, so I've been spending that. Still waiting for my bats. Have you gotten either one yet?

Who bought Sox Monopoly? They have it at Grandstand. Konerko is Boardwalk...Buerhle is Park Place.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) I for one think the breed shouldn't be banned, but instead closely monitored. If you know someone in you're neighborhood has one make sure they have a fence or always have it chained up if they leave it alone outside. I don't agree...they need to be banned. The biggest problem is the assholes who buy these dogs and mistreat them, causing a dangerous situation. You can't closely monitor people, especially in poor neighborhoods, where these dogs seem more prevalent. when you hear that these dogs were nice, until the other day, that is even more disturbing. I'm not a big fan of a lot of other dogs either...but Pits are clearly the bigger problems....see Cary and the South side woods from a couple years ago.

I agree Kid...these dogs are dangerous. I flat out refuse to be around these dogs. They should be banned, wherever you live.

You can order those from Grandstand...I was there yesterday...spent too much money, again...but I ordered a World Champions leather jacket...similar to the ones they were wearing this post-season...but its all black and has a big World Champion Sox patch on the back...$200...also have the all leather, crazy looking jacket...for $2000....I passed on that one. You can call them...and order it...and here is the website... Grandstand

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) Getting a disc put together with the "Sox greatest hits" wouldn't be that hard. I had asked Brooks about this a while ago...he said this was something they had looked into, and were going to look into it again, due to the Sox success.

This will be sold at stores, correct? If so, Fry's in Downers Grove will be the cheapest...I'm guessing 14.99....and no shipping and handling.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) Anybody know anything more about this? I know that there were a s***load of these out when the Red Sox won it all last year (illegally or otherwise), and I'd really like to get my hands on something like that, even if it's just the World Series games. We had a thread earlier in the week...I sent Brooks an e-mail and he said they would announce something soon...don't know what soon means... linky

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) How good would he look in Yankee pinstripes? Like s***.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) Coop isn't going anywhere. Steff and Coop already ironed out a deal.

What's our plans for 2006?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) He's coming back for his kids, not the job. My neighbor's house is available in Stickney...Cheap Taxes Frank!

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) He didn't f*** anyone. Peter wanted him, Peter called him, Peter pursued him, and Peter got him. They came out of the cloud before the 04 season, and insurance was paying 70+% of the contract anyway. YOu're right...these teams f*** themselves...I say get all the money you can...and whether or not they were f***ed or not...they certainly used it as a crutch.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Ahh.. the universal example. :rolly He f***ed the Orioles pretty hard...they finally have come out of his salary 'cloud'. It amazes me how these teams throw years and money out the window, and then 2 years later want to get rid of these guys...Boston wants Manny out...Texas gets rid of A-Rod...Griffey is killing the Reds...it goes on and on. I say save the money, if it gets crazy, and look to continue to have good pitching and defense...plus we have Rogowski.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) Hes worth what he is worth, hes worth what others like him are getting. If some team cough cough tigers wants to extremely overpaythen goodbye. KW knows what hes worth and will do whats best for the team. Paulie is simply not worth 6-7 years @ 80-100 mil. Hes not vlad, arod, ajones, etc. Hes worth garett andersen type money, 4/48. If someone wants to go maggs on him then goodbye. You said it...The guy's batting average does not warrant that kind of money...and how many teams get f***ed by these long term contracts...see Albert Belle.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) LOL, I did the same thing with the topps cards. I have been buying some duplicates. I have a big plastic bin I have that I am collecting newspapers, other stuff for attic put away. Got the bats from igottohavethat.com. Been buying all of the books and crap, the DVD when it comes out. Also got the bats, extra newspapers, magazines, DVD...can't wait for that.

I just ordered 2 sets of the Topps World Series Cards...$19.99....I got one for viewing, one for saving...

How did Torii respond?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) Quietest moment: Anaheim, California, game four, Paulie goes yard in the first inning. I've never seen a bubble get burst so quickly. Those fans were so stoked prior to the game and then BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. absolute silence. Ah, you took this the opposite direction...quietest moment at any visitor's park. That silence would be beautiful to hear....I mean, not hear...whatever.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Konerko's grand slam and Pods walk off in game 2 was insanely loud. I'm with you...

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) i love frank too much to hang him out like that though. anyone else and i would agree with you. I agree...sign Frank...he needs to stay with us...his money really shouldn't affect other moves...I would hope.

This is such f***ing bulls***...we had one of the best defensive units out there, and we get no gold gloves....well, f*** them, we're holding the most important trophy.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Thx, I'll tune in. I didn't see them listed on their site and I didn't want to have to sit through Leno for no reason. that's what dvr is for...tape it, watch it later, and skip most of that horrible show.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) AJ, Jermaine and Ozzie are supposed to be on Leno tonight. Someone is supposed to be on Letterman next week. that's what I heard
