He was 22 when he came over you say? That figures, though Irish and Americanish are not as far apart on the phonetic scale as say Bengalese or Russian . My mom has a b****in' accent that never fails to crack me up. I hear Hell is wonderful, why do you ask?

Can you ever forgive me, Spiff?

Do you have any reason to think otherwise? Please share. Either you're trying to make me feel better about my linguistic handicap (aw, shucks), or you've been hanging out with some retarted-ass foreigners.

Fibber? In what way? Damn, I have the same problem with imminent/eminent, affected/effected, potato/potato, etc. Luckily, searing intelligence and spellery are far from prerequisite in my profession. lol

Awesome. I just became eligible for US citizenship myself. The process itself takes 6 months to get it I hear. Still pondering whether I want it or not, tho. Mom says there is nothing to think about. She is not a boss of me.

Yes. Immigrated roughly 5 years ago. You?

Oh no, I knew it! I can be my own worst enemy sometimes.....I just want to say that I am truly sorry if one of my posts can be construed by some as possibly implying that PA dabbles in hard-core goat porn. There is no excuse. Re: Trio: All I remember from digging up that thread when I came back is someone mentioning that Roman, BMR and Clu were victims of civil war, that they talked s*** or something. It was a strong message sent by SoxTalk bosses to the rest of the board: toe the line and you'll be fine. OT: How come there is no quote-in-quote option anymore???

Did that really happen in Reno? I am not well versed in the history of that locale.

Say no more! But who are the mods you speak of, other than yourself? I ask because I may have unwittingly signed my own Soxtalk death warrant. Is it PA? Tolleson? I know! Roman.....the kid always flew his windsock high, didn't he? Ты же знаешь что я родом из России.

I'll take a reasonably heated debate over a lobotomy of pleasantries. I thought you were against pussy-footing. Besides, no egos were irrepairably damaged in this thread. No worries. Let's ressurect Doug Jones thread next week.

Why Sox should allocated 20% of the payroll to Fatolo? What has he done in 2003 (against supremely weakass ALC hitting) that suggests he is worth 15% of the payroll, let alone 20? And if you say he still throws as hard as ever, I will fgsgsd you in your sleep.

Suck it.

One of these days Boras will get his comeuppance. And I'll be one gloating m*therf***er.

WTF are yuou talking about, Koch for Kim! Why stop there? Why not Koch for Pedro and Nomar, with Boston picking up the tab? My god, 103 screwball! My God.

I didn't say it should be a direct trade. First move Maggs. Then bring in the rich man's Toriiiii Hunter.

If we trade Magglio (and given the 14-15 Mill a year salary/rumor we absolutely should), how about getting Cameron to play CF, a move that would allow Rowand/Reed/Borchard move over to RF. Everyone knows Mike is a much better player than his Ks or BA would indicate, and Magglio totally lacked intensity in 2003 and is unaffordable.......Give Cameron 4 Mill plus a mill in insentives to outbid Seattle, and considering how well he hits at USCF, he might want to reconsider hating the Sox... Goes without saying, the almost 10 Mill difference in salary will allow us to get a TON of talent at the dead-line in 2004. Just an idea.

Have anyone even noticed that Aaron Rowand SMOKES left-handed pitching. Let's hope Jeremy Reed/Willie Harris can hit righties.

Hey now!

Maybe GASH is trying to tell you something.

Rubbin' my intellectual shortcomings in my face again? Have you no shame?

I think Crimson Welltal may be a model. S/he certainly got the starved-n-pissed off thing down.

Forget aboutr Osuna. What about someone like Lightenberg?

Get Matt Stairs to play 1B for under 1 Mill. He KILLS right-handed pitching. With Gload, you get a player who makes 300K in place of a player who is making 8 Mill. Gload is faster and better defensively and can't possibly hit into as many double plays if he tried. The only thing he gotta do is have an 800 OPS against righties and he is MORE than welcome at first. Then get a cheap FA who can hit LHP to platoon.

His 1999 season aide, Millwood is a 4.00 ERA pitcher in offense light NL, having pitched in neutral and pitcher's parks all his life. 3 year/25 Mill is what he is worth. Maybe.
