I just a score on ESPN bottom line .... Wisc 40 Purdue 16

I voted for the Bulls because I'm a Kentucky fan!

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) Hey, we all gave up on Iguchi a month before he signed with the team. Kenny ended up signing Iguchi for, what was it, a fourth of what he was asking. Kenny also "moved on" from Pierzynski before signing him to a deal. Hell, Kenny even said AJ wasn't a fit for the Sox. I'm not saying Kenny is going to sign him. But, crazier things have happened (and at least twice this very off-season). Definite possibility. But there's $430,000 difference in perceived value right now.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) ---A quote from the journalist's partner The Bush administration can't afford for s*** like this to happen as the world is becoming increasingly distant from the United States. In this case the must do some major but kissing to the current Italy government, as they face an election against a leftist coalition next year. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?t...storyID=7816127 You are probaly right. But get somebody has to get real here. I mean suicide bombers are not unheard of in Iraq. They tried to wave them down. They fired warning shots. These soldiers' asses were on the line. I'd shoot too.

I'm sorry, but if we had tried hundreds of times to kill Castro, he'd be worm s*** by now.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) Split quad games DO count in the standings. I thought so. Thank you.

If I remember correctly, split squad games count and "B" games do not.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) If Baj isn't going to get much of a chance with the Sox [he'd likely be the 3rd or 4th guy called up as it stands now], he should get a chance somewhere else. I think his coming up hurt in Sept. didn't help him. But he should get a chance on a number of small market teams looking for relief help. While this may help the Sox, it would also help his career. If Gary Majewski can catch on with Montreal, Baj could help a number of clubs to start 2005 I certainly didn't expect that to be taken seriously.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 10:25 AM) Scenario: I'm a kid trying to decide wether to use steroids. Maybe I know Bonds , Caminiti, Canseco and Giambi have all won MVP'S. Maybe I know Lyle Alzado and other have died or been disfigured because of overabuse of steroids. "Oh wait" I say to myself, "Frank Thomas has won 2 MVP's and would have had a 3rd if not for Giambi. Maybe I can do it without steroids. Hmmm what does Frank Thomas and all these other guys have that I don't have? A huge muscular body. I'll get caught if i use steroids. Hello, HGH is still usable and not included in the drug policy. HGH is the way to go now if i want a big body. " Frank Thomas' influence re: "right way to do things" means nothing if you don't have his kind of physique, which is why guys use the stuff in the first place. Which is EXACTLY why all of this stuff is wrong! It's why the need to listen to Jeff Kent and get tougher policy. They need to send the message that this will not be tolerated.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) that's the key. Adkins has come around and would be worth even more than Cintron. With Ariz stocked in the IF, teams know they don't have to give up the farm for him. One the papers around here? Cintron would be a guy who'd get a lot of time in. The Sox need to give Uribe, Crede and Tad a lot of time off this yr, to stay fresh. In order to do that, the sox need to put a major league caliber player in as a sub. Ozuna won't cut it, methinks. Cotts should be around, unless he has a terrible spring with poor control, and very bad "stuff". Having the 2 LHP's is a must, esp. with the LH hitters in the AL central [mauer, morneau, hafner, etc] With adkins being so versatile, a one dimesional guy like Baj could be made available to a team in need of a closer/ setup man. I like his control and makeup. But Baj has a lot of guys ahead of him in setup. And based on his 2004 season, teams should be looking for him. The trading of Soxtalk members is unacceptable.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 07:10 AM) The rumor is that the call to Bonds agent was responded with a rather stern "no, he is not intersted in attending" :rolly Oh. I'm sure Bonds can be "persuaded" to attend.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 07:05 AM) Just a buzz... But apparently subpeona's are going to be issued. Good. They should include Mr. Bonds with an invitation to the party.

The kid came into spring training last and shocked everyone by winning a spot on the roster. Then he held that spot for the entire season. I believe he established his value to team last season and they won't undersell if he does happen to go in a trade.

Mounties' slayings outrage Canadiens I hate to hear anything like this, but what's up with this? I was under the impression that marijuana was legal in Canada.

All you guys that participated in the Unofficail St. Paddy's Day, you might be able to relate to this story. Five Inch Knife ...

Schilling's in a similar situation to Frank. So the following kind of proves my point.

St. Patrick's Day probably started out as a pagan secular celebration to begin with, which means it's come full circle.

I do this, but it's because I prefer the taste of Diet Coke.

Bloodsucking parasites fits better.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) How dumb are those people anyway? How are you going to go through all that trouble to get this hostage out of there then run at a US checkpoint and not stop even after warning shots were fired. Idiots! I can't comprehend what they were thinking. It's shame this had to take such a nasty turn. Of course, The USA will be blamed by the rest of the world ... and a few Soxtalk posters as well.

Oh well. Let's move on.

Ozzie predicted 140! LOL

QUOTE(backman @ Mar 5, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) man this is some bull, i know its spring training but i like to win one game, this is gettin pretty nasty 0-4 this is freaking anyoying! Relax. Oh, btw we beat the Rox so we're 1-3

Talk about flying under the radar. This came out of left field.
