QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) You're all a strange group of fans. You seem to delight in trashing ChiSox players. I maybe the only fan left who still has hope in Borchy but you guys have all but flushed the toilet on him. Go Joe! 3-2 Sox after 4 Joe B is going to be just fine. I have faith in him. I see people give up on players all the time. A lot of people wanted clee gone in 2002 (because of his dfense) , a lot of people lost hope in Paulie in 2003, people wanted arow gone in 2003. I say joe is definately showing signs of improvement. Id like to hold on to him still.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) Yes, laughs. It would have to be a salary swap then

Im sorry. I respect Joe Borchard. It is not as if he is not trying. I think he may be the hardest worker in the organazation behind arow. I remember after arow had his dirt bike accident and was hitting .200 for the first part of 2003 a lot of people wanted him traded too.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 06:19 PM) Yea we do, it's really a great time. I don't give a s*** who you replied to, calling someone a baby for pointing out that someone broke a law is f***ing retarded. this was not the first time I seen something on a message board posted from insider. It also was not the first time I seen something on this board from insider. It was the first time I seen people running scared over it.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) With B-Mac pitching the way he is, why don't we trade Garland and Crede, or Contreras and Crede for a decent 3B? would we be able to even get anything for contreras?

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Oh relax already. ok, I guess that was direct , thank you.

Damn guys it was 5:30 am when I found the article. I was on my way to school. I did not think everyone would spend so much energy trying to change the title of the thread. "Franks lawyers ask to withdraw subpoena" would that make everyone happy? My opinion is it is Frank asking to withdraw . When you have lawyers you are asking through a third party. It is Frank asking.Through his lawyers. For his reasoning, I have a feeling he just does not want to be put in a position of being the snitch. Through his lawyers. Maybe if I had 20,000 posts I would not get people b****ing about my thread title inderectly.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig volunteered yesterday to testify before a Congressional committee investigating steroid use in baseball, and lawyers for Jason Giambi, Rafael Palmeiro and Frank Thomas asked the committee to withdraw their subpoenas. Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California and the ranking minority member of the House Government Reform Committee, said that Selig was smart to agree to testify on Thursday and that the players' subpoenas would not be withdrawn. "We expect them to be here," Waxman said in a telephone interview last night. "We're open to granting them immunity. We are not going to go into asking them to name names of other players or anything like that. We don't think that is appropriate. But we want to hear what they have to say about themselves." Selig previously declined an informal invitation. Instead, he had offered up Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations, to testify. Manfred, who was also subpoenaed and knows the details of baseball's antisteroid programs, will appear with Selig. "We did request he come to start with, and he wanted to send other people, but I think he realized it's in his best interest to be here," Waxman said. Selig's reversal comes four days after Representative Joe Barton, Republican of Texas and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, criticized Selig for failing to respond to its informal invitation to appear before that committee. In a brief statement saying that he would comply with the subpoena from the Government Reform Committee, Selig said, "I am proud of the progress baseball has made on the subject of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs and look forward to sharing this information with the committee." The lawyers for Giambi, Palmeiro and Thomas - three of the seven players subpoenaed - made different arguments on their behalf, though all emphasized that they did not want to give any credence to Jose Canseco's book, "Juiced." Giambi and Palmeiro were accused of steroid use in the book. They and Thomas, a critic of steroids, are represented by the same lawyers, David M. McIntosh and Michael Kantor. Giambi, the lawyers wrote, has already been victimized by the leak of his "full, complete and truthful testimony" to the Balco grand jury in December 2003. The lawyers said Congressional testimony could compromise Giambi's ability to testify in those trials. "To call Mr. Giambi and other players before the committee and ask them to 'name names' or otherwise testify against themselves and their teammates is unfair and unwise," the lawyers wrote in a letter to Waxman and Representative Tom Davis, Republican of Virginia, the committee chairman. Palmeiro, they wrote in a separate letter, "should not have to appear at a hearing prompted by scurrilous and wholly false allegations by a former player, and this committee should not dignify those allegations by requesting or compelling Mr. Palmeiro's attendance." The letter said the subpoena had "damaged Mr. Palmeiro's reputation far more than the book otherwise would have." Thomas, the lawyers wrote, would be suspected of steroid use even though he is being called because he "has long been an outspoken opponent of steroids." "To put Mr. Thomas on a panel with Jose Canseco would create the false impression - especially to the great majority of people who would not watch the hearings in their entirety - that he, too, has something to answer for," the lawyers wrote. "He doesn't." In addition, they said Thomas would miss three days of therapy for an ankle injury that is said to be threatening his career. Also yesterday, Major League Baseball met a noon deadline to provide about 400 pages of documents on drug testing that had been subpoenaed by the committee, spokesmen for baseball and the committee said. "They got here this morning," Robert White, a committee spokesman, said. "The lawyers are going through them now."
