The Mets are getting desperate, and if Dice-K doesnt sign with Boston, I would put them on the list as desperate. They also need a closer.

I am also shopping for a 40 in LCD for my bedroom. If you are going HD, make sure you go 1080 P. The 720's are already behind in the HD market. Also brands, I would go with Samsung, Hitachi, Phillips as some of my fav's. Im a HUGE fan of Hitachi and Samsung, but I think im going with the Samsung LCD.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 05:05 PM) What are you smoking? Garland is quite a better pitcher than Jennings. He's right. Seeing how this is the exact same offer that they gave for JG, then Kenny is smart for backing down. Obviously, we wait until Zito is off the market, then we give up Vaz or Jon for a nice package. Great move by KW not taking this trade IMO, Garland is a great deal more valuable than Jennings.

Silver Spoons in on ON DEMAND for comcast.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) I'd love it if he broke that record. I would too. I met him when I was in college due to us being in the same Fraternity and he was nothing but a cool guy.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 07:00 AM) if anyone wants to set up a time this week, I'll run around with you and show you a few things. I'm on the hellscream server, so that's your limitation. we should do that. At this point im even getting pwned by boars and wolves.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Really? Idonno I used to play Everquest so while WoW had some new things i figured it all out relatively quickly. But if you never done any MMORPG's b4 and dont have a friend that you seen it b4 it could be confusing. thats where I am at right now. I havent played a game like this before, and im pretty lost.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) Hell, Grossman destroyed the Seattle Defense lest we all forget. Seattle lost to AZ today as well.

Pretty bad game by the "best defensive front 7 in the NFL." With that said, San Diego should run through whatever NFC team they face if they make it to the superbowl.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) Just wondering how many people here have a cap from another mlb team besides the Sox. I honestly think the last non Sox cap I've owned was a Cleveland Indians cap from when I was 9 and played on the Indians Little League Team.I have an old school Pads hat, and i also have a Reds hat as I like them as my NL team.

The Chargers could win the superbowl, they are scary.

ok, so I borrowed WoW from a friend and i will be trying to play it for the next several days. Anyone play this and have hints?

I would actually like Westbrook alot out of that group.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 05:05 PM) Park a foreign car at Rouge River employee parking and you'll see how "hilarious" it is. You get to drive your crushed cube home that night! I dont even know what that is. But I have been to several automakers locations including american and foreign cars, and there are a huge mix of manufacturers in their parking lot, I wonder if everyday their cars had to be crushed into cubes?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) That about sums it up. Anybody who thinks MB should hide loyalty to his home team because the Sox pay his salary has not got a whole lot of understanding about growing up a fan with home team loyalty. Its pretty funny that it was mentioned that if you work at Ford though, you should ALWAYS drive a ford. Everyone at Sony ONLY buys sony. Hilarious thought process IMO.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) My friend tells me the funeral for that player died in real life. I guess they also have weddings on there and people crash them. Exactly, thats plain weird IMO, and I would totally have killed all of those people.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 06:20 AM) I agree with you to a point. But if you are objective you would realize that the Alabama job is still potentially a top 5 college football job with the coach at the helm. Having such a passionate fan base can work for or against a coach, depending on how he handles things. Like any school with a storied history, fans are going to embrace and hang on to the past and yearn for the same in the future. There is certainy an elitist mentality with Alabama fans and it irritates the hell out of me too (remember I am an outsider living down here). Some of them are downright idiots. But that does not change that the potential for this job is great. I agree that have elite mentality and the fans are passionate. But top 5 is a pretty big reach, top 10 maybe.

Since when does 2 count as many?

QUOTE(S720 @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) Does the team you grew up loving PAY for your humongous salary? If you work for the Ford company, would you dare driving a Japanese car into its lots? At least have some courtesy and respect for the team that is paying you huge money to play for it by NOT showing your love for that team in public! And this is not the first time that he has done this. If he loves the Cardinals that much, trade his ass as far as I'm concerned. Whatever dude. if I played for another team I would still always wear my sox stuff, and I would always be a sox fan. He can cheer for whoever he wants to when we have been eliminated from postseason play. And Toyota is one of my customers, and I visit their office in LA all the time, there are plenty of people that drive fords, chevys, even hondas.

There are several remarks on ESPN.com about how he is one of the top secret pitching prospects in the minor league system.

QUOTE(ChiSox9 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 06:03 PM) I dont post much but after spending more time on Soxtalk I have noticed that you have to be the most negative fan I have ever seen. they call it short-sighted.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) If you carry out KW's and JR's recent comments to their logical conclusion, there is no way the Sox can re-sign ANY player after his current contract expires because the marketplace is just too expensive. And if you follow this logic out, that means you have to dump the player with a year left on their contract in order to get any value in the marketplace. So, right now, according to that twisted view, should we be saying bye-bye to: 1. Jermaine Dye -- why not unload him now?? He won't be affordable in 2008. 2. Mark Buehrle -- ditto. 3. Tadahito Iguchi -- contract runs out next year. Are there more?? Yet, we can give $2.9 million to bring back the worst starter on the team -- Scott Podsednik??? We built a championship club -- the first in almost 90 years -- by trading FOR guys like Freddie Garcia, and trading away unproven prospects like Jeremy Reed, Miguel Olivo, and Michael Morse. Now I suppose Gio Gonzalez and Gavin Floyd are worth more than we gave the M's, but dumping the guy who beat the Tigers 4X last year and won 17 games for us to acquire two guys that are unlikely to even play for the Sox in 2007 seems a tad ridiculous. So much for competing with the Yankees and Red Sox and Angels. We're still a "small market" club in the eyes of our owner. Heck, why not just dump the whole team like the Marlins did -- twice?? Get that out of your system? Good, time to actually think about baseball instead of posting crazy stuff. KW has made ONE deal, and it was a good one, deal with it.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 06:54 AM) I'm pretty disheartened by the stance that JR and KW have taken after waiting so long to see such great attendance numbers. Yeah, I hate how there are improving this team this year and in the future.....

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Dec 7, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) I've never liked Jerry Reinsdorf. Never will. Yeah, who would like an Owner who has brought 7 titles to the city of chicago, god!!!!! QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 7, 2006 -> 10:48 PM) AMEN on Mark Buehrle Jerry, even if the people won't like it around here. If he wants to wear a freaking Cardinals cap around, go play for 'em. If I was drafted by a team other than the sox, I would still wear my hat around for sure. Even my 83 fisk jersey.
