QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) Don't Frank, Carl and Konerko need to be signed before something like December 10th or they can not resign until May 1st. I know arbitration (neither Frank or Carl will be offered this, Konerko will) plays a role in this as well but I think Frank's situation would have to be settled well before Paul's would have to be. I'm inclined to believe that Carl is gone. Till July, at least.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:26 AM) Which has a lot to do with the now.. eh? Oh, stop being so damn literal!

Sore losers.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) WOOO HOOOO! Now THAT's important legislation right there. It's about time Congress did something noteworthy!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:58 AM) That's cute. I was standing near a boy who had a sign that said, I waited 9 years for this. It was really cute. And mad props on proper usage of the noun form of the word Yas. I was paying attention to yesterday's thread.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 10:12 AM) You said "tit"... I think she was telling you the location of her "tat".

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) I have never smoked pot and never will. But I do believe the marijuana laws need to be changed. I really don't see a huge difference in Alcohol and marijuana. Let the government tax the crap out of it like alcohol and use the money for schools. That trick always works. We can build new ballparks for everybody! Except the Cubs. Wrigley's a shrine, you know.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) Wow, we turned this into an abortion thread, I wonder why our political leaders have this problem? I will say this, I respect people who have a consistent ethic here. Anti abortion *and* anti death penalty. Shouldn't aborting a 60 day old fetus carry the same moral and ethical questions and answers as aborting a 30 year old man? Which brings up another point, or counterpoint, I guess. People who are found at a pro-choice rally are likely to be found the next week protesting against disturbing the home of a snail darter, or some such s***. That consistant ethics s*** goes both ways.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) Deadline in what contract..? If they don't agree to the $10 million in 3 days he's free. Which, of course, they won't ... and he will be.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) um are you seriously referring to the idea of signing damon? you've got to be kidding. i believe that we have alredy established that damon is a BUM, whereas PK is not. dude, seriously, johnny damon? what are you smoking? I'm certainly not smoking anything that would make me want to sign Damon. Now the question is, what the hell are you smoking?

Jerry Reinsdorf about the parade:

The link Again, no mention of the only blown call that directly resulted in a run. The Home run that wasn't, but it went against the Sox.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 05:10 AM) I honestly think it's Fehr to blame for the slacking on this one. In the recent past, I agree with you. Going back a few years, it was in their mutual interests to bury their head in the sand.

Just a few in no particular order. "Of all the Gin joints in all the ports in all the world, she had to come walking into mine." "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." "Go ahead. Make my day."

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Maybe some provision could be put in so that in documented cases of abuse there is an "out" for a woman not wanting to say anything. In most cases, however, the husband does have a right to know since the baby is half his. What country do you live in? Because in this one, currently, the husband doesn't have any rights whatsoever.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) Just called my senators and congressmen. They got the message. Go get the oil!

Hey Bud! You better pull your head out of the sand, because someone's getting ready to stick a big ol' boot up your ass.

QUOTE(He Gawn!!! @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) That is rediculous. If someone offers the 31 year old Konerko a 7 year deal, they deserve to get him. 6 and 7 year deals are becoming a thing of the past. Especially for a guy in his 30's. I can see KW offering PAUL EEE a 5 year at the very most. I'd hate to see him go, but if the Bo Sox offer him 7 years, then....HE GAWN!! PK's DOB = March 5, 1976. That makes him 29. So, signing a 29 year old to a 7 year contract is not much worse than signing a 31 year old to a 5 year deal, which you thought to be reasonable when you were under the impression PK was 31.

These guys forgot on very important stat. Ozziemetrics. Winning = fung. Fung = winning.

Great job, Gas. Eloquent and pointed. Regarding the point mentioned in this thread about the the AL East being a harder division, the AL Central was collectively 8 games over .500 vs. the East. That shoots that theory to hell.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 01:56 AM) I think everyone agreed that it was a bad idea. Then people started saying that we should trade Marte, possibly Rowand, and prospects for a lefty #3 hitter like Chad Tracy or Lyle Overbay. We could sign a lefty reliever like Mike Myers to replace Marte and Brian Anderson could replace Rowand if we decided to trade him. I saw talk of Garland for Dunn. It's that kind of stuff I was talking about.

Why is it that when we win a world championship on the backs of our pitching staff after 5 consecutive failures with a bunch of sluggers, are we talking about trading pitchers for sluggers? There is some flawed logic here folks.

$2.269 here

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) I hope they can backload Konerko's contract. Like have him earn $6 Million for the first year and he ends up earning $14.5 Million in the last year of the contract. That would total up to $49 Million and you can put bonuses in there to. There is no way in hell Konerko takes a pay cut from 2005 to 2006 when he's a free agent. Let's come back to the real world, please.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) whattabout the Uribe deek of Derrek Lee - that was effin awesome! oooooh and AJ stomping on Aaron Boone's back right after Boone had done some damage (HR i think?) That's two very good ones. I enjoyed both of those moments.
