QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) I sent them an e-mail for like the 6th time this year and they finally read mine. It was the one with the acronym for the PRIDE slogan. I just wish I was TiVoing it so I could have cherished it forever. It's bittersweet i guess, more sweet than bitter though Is anybody TiVoing todays game Id pay you for a copy?? yeah I heard that. Good stuff. I'm not Tivoing the game but they will probably show a replay of the game tonight around 1-ish.

HOLY s*** ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never Change that sig!!

I went to a game alone in 2003 vs Minny. (carl and robbies 1st game with the sox) I was so pumped up about the moves at the time. We were losing to minny all game. Actually, in the 9th, with 2 outs, people were leaving as the slumping Paul Konerko came to bat. I stayed in my seat until the end. GAME TYING HOME RUN! We went to extras Frank hit the game winner in xtras ( his 2nd hr of the night) Best game I ever attended PERIOD

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) Josh any chance you can crank down that avatar? None of the other avatars slow up the computer when scrolling thru the posts as that one does. Just asking, thanks. I'm having the same problem scrolling down, so it's not just you.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Billy Wagner would be a great choice for a lefty specialist I think he would be to expensive to trade for if we were to just use him as a lefty specialist.

AJ may be struggling but, he is doing more good then harm.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) The problem with dealing Marte is the Sox would have to pick up another bull-pen arm, Kevin Walker is not a major league pitcher. Man, after the rousing output by the offense last night I would hate to see Crazy traded, he is a solid RBI man. I liked the the line-up with Dye at 1b and Carl in RF. Not for everyday, but it's another option if they're not bringing Gload up to give PK a rest now and then If we picked up Burnett for mainly everett and damaso then, Count would be in the bullpen. That would be our new bullpen arm. We would need a lefty specialist though.

We don't need arod any way. I think Jeter needs him more then team USA:

when it rains it pours

dayum!! we need to start a forum just for all the "i'm new here" threads/ BTW welcome. This is a great site with great fans.
