QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 06:47 AM) That's typical. You'd think we could have the uniforms made in the US.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 05:02 PM) officially unofficial... I like that!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 12:25 AM) You sheltered lucky souls have all had it too easy if you were able to so easily pigeonhole one of these choices as the worst. Until you have been on the losing end of a long-term relationship gone bad, in which apathy leads to unrequite and also infidelity, then you are all rank amateurs in the world of bad relationships. So put me down for the apathy/unrequite/infidelity trifecta. And for kicks, throw in the shame of having subjugated self for the supposed betterment of the whole for so many years that when it finally does come crashing down you've forgotten who you used to be and what you once thought was important. Still bitter after 14 years? Who, me? One of the very few SL&P posts of yours in which I am in total agreement. As far as I'm concerned, you nailed it. Great Post!

Hoyt Wilhelm. Eddie Fisher. And didn't Jack Lamabe throw one evry now and then? I don't know why that popped into my head, and I may be totally wrong about that.

Condolences to you and your family. If you can take some comfort out of the fact that your uncle was able to see a Sox championship, then do so.

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) miami just dosent support the team...evidence shown, no new stadium, low ticket sales, cant sell out post-season games There are other threads/forums on the board that would be more appropriate to discuss these issues than a congrats thread from a Marlin fan. MarlinFan84, please accept our apologies for the lack of tact of that post.

C'mon TexSox. You know exactly what people are thinking and why they are thinking it when they express concern about $$$ amounts given to this or that player. This is an issue that has been discussed around here since the beginning of Soxtalk.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 12:40 AM) I fully agree on Timo...but have we really seen enough of Gload as a starter in the big leagues to say for certain that he does "Nothing" above average? I mean, he at least was rookie of the month 1 time, and he did hit over .300 in his only long stint in the big leagues, and he supposedly is capable of playing very good defense. I don't see where Gload fits on this team. Hell, he didn't fit last year when we didn't have Thome. Edit to add: This is assuming we retain Konerko.

Soxtalk - Home of the Rally Crede.

QUOTE(timotime @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) i dont want mueller. how serious can this back injury be that crede has? did it happen during the season? if it did, why did he play so well in the playoffs? its just an unecessary move in my mind. If the Sox go after Mueller, then that is a sign that Crede's back problem is more serious than any of us know. It may be an unnecessary move in your mind, but your mind doesn't have all the information Kenny Williams' has.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) the water separates from the mustard. That's called musquirt.

While I agree with all that, what if someone wish a smooth move for the White Sox to Vegas, if that was indeed a possibilty. I know I wouldn't appreciate it in any way, shape or form.

Please don't quote that entire list anymore. That's ridiculous.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) If this deal went through...it would probably make the Cubs a better team. But then again...how difficult is it to improve on a season when you finish behind the rapidly improving Brewers? Hopefully, John Hart is smart enough to rake the Cubs over the coals a little bit if they're going to get Soriano off of the Rangers along with other bats. He could have gotten a ton from a team like the Twinkies for Soriano during last season if he was willing to move him. Hart is no longer the Texas GM.

We've already had the 'pleasure' of seeing Carl spend half a season roaming CF at the Cell. No, thank you. I don't want to see it again.

QUOTE(dmbjeff @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) thanks and good luck to the marlins as well....hopefully their move to Vegas in a few years goes smoothly What a totally classless thing to say to someone that made a special point to come in here and give us kudos on the championship.

QUOTE(LDF @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) while looking at the trade and i will say this again, i can see the reasoning of it, it is my opinion that gio's talents if fully reach will come back and bite us. lets hope thome and co can put us in the playoff again. It is my opinion that if Gio's talents don't 'fully reach' it will not come back to haunt us. Hence, the reason why prospects are a crap shoot.

QUOTE(LDF @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) i really don't care about that. it was the idea of royce being a cancer and was so disruptive. he went against alot of people advice and traded for him. Have you noticed the detail kenny goes into now to 'check out' a guy's clubhouse demeanor before he acquires him? Pierzynski basically had to talk Kenny into signing him by convincing him the 'clubhouse cancer' label tagged on him was hogwash. That Clayton trade may have been what laid the foundation for Kenny putting so much emphasis on 'quality' people in the clubhouse. Once bitten, twice shy.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) For whatever reason, there have been a lot more whispers about Crede's back in the last week. This concerns me when considering keeping him long term. It concerns me even more than the fact that Crede has never put a full season together yet. Will he hit year round like he did in the playoffs is a question yet to be answered. I don't see KW making out a big check any time soon. They do seem to be more concerned about Crede's back than we were led to believe. We are just going to see how this one plays out.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) You may as well keep Borchard as the fourth outfielder and let Timo go. Borchard probably wouldn't net anything good in a trade anyways. I think the loser of the battle between Brian Anderson and Jerry Owens should be sent to Charlotte. You don't want to stunt a prospect's growth by having him sit on the bench. Dusty Baker almost did it to Matt Murton until Hendry stepped in and made him play him. It's just not a good idea. Exactly. Let the guy who doesn't make the cut stay in the minors and play everyday. In the mean time, you let Borchard hold down that 4th outfielder spot and hopefully either increase his trade value or the hope for the longshot odds that he'll begin to live up to his much hyped potential.

Karen Carpenter, for sure. Carly Simon. Patsy Cline.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) That was just so beautiful. Love Hurts Somebody done somebody wrong song He stopped loving her today Your cheatin' heart Plenty of balance out there. But your point is very accurate. Add "Jaded Love" by Jerry Jeff Walker to that list.

Another way of saying "He'll be good if the Cubs don't f*** him up."

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) I for one hope Marte is back. I don't see any other replacements out there. That happens to be a very important detail that seems to be consistently overlooked.

I like this idea of Borchard being the 4th outfielder. He'd be a constant threat of power coming off the bench, and he's not bad with the leather.
