I was at the same game, but I gotta believe game 2 of either the CS or the WS has gotta take the cake...

I still haven't even seen the video myself lol. It doesn't work at all for me. Also, the d/l limit was reached, so if you haven't d/l'ed it yet you're not going to. If someone wants to re-up it, use http://www.yousendit.com

ugh. I will be sifting through the pms this morning if it doesn't work, sorry! there's also a d/l limit so let me know when that is reached.

MJH just said no gold gloves for White Sox

can ANYONE who got this to work, please convert it to an MPEG and reupload at this site http://www.yousendit.com

please radio in if it works guys

I'm not sure if it works. I will pm to those that request it. Radio in if it doesn't work.

a buddy of mine did the equivalent of a YSI (a free service that creates a link to a downloadable file), but for some reason the avi is having a hard time talking to my realplayer so I may have spoken too soon. I will keep any and all posted

okay to post here?

lol 17/17 so far

I think Garland gets at least 7 million, I guess 8 might be a little high. I was a little pie in the sky with some of the other numbers, trying to shoot at the high end of the range. When it comes down to it, isn't Garland a 60 game winner already? I mean, that's almost as many games as Kerry Wood has won

2006 Contracts Freddy Garcia $10mil Jose Contreras $7.0mil Mark Buehrle $7.75mil Jermaine Dye $5.0 mil El Duque $4.5 mil Tad Iguchi $2.4 mil Juan Uribe $3.15 mil Rowand $3.25 mil Hermanson $3.0 mil Marte $2.25 mil Politte $1.2 mil Podsednik $1.9 mil Grand Total of $51.4 mil in guaranteed contracts Arbitration Eliglble Players and 2005 salary - Estimated 2006 Salary Garland ($3.4 mil) - ($8 mil) Pierzynski ($2.25 mil) - ($4 mil) Vizcaino ($1.3 mil) - ($1.75 mil) Timo! ($1.0 mil) - ($1.25 mil) Crede ($0.4 mil) - ($2.5 mil) Harris ($0.365 mil) - ($.775 mil) Ozuna ($0.330 mil) - ($1 mil) It's hard to say what these guys will get in 2006, and the Sox could end up releasing some of these players. An interesting side note is that the Salary arbitration hearings are set for Feb. 1st-21st, which means if the Sox wait on too many of these players it could hamper them in either resigning Konerko or going after another free agent. Overall it will cost approximately $19.275 mil to keep these players Option eligible players: Frank Thomas has a club option of $12 mil or a $3.5 mil buyout Carl Everett has a club option of $5 mil or a $0.5 mil buyout My guess is that the Sox will buyout both these players, and will first offer Big Frank a low $1.0 mil base salary with incentives. If he refuses their offer they may try to bring back Carl at a lower price also. It is highly unlikely they will keep both of these players. So 4 million to buyout Frank and Carl, plus 1 million to bring back either/or. players under club's control Neal Cotts ($0.33 mil) I am not entirely sure what this status indicates. It may have something in regards to being arbitration eligible next year. Players likely to be on or considered for the roster RP Jeff Bajenaru SP Brandon McCarthy RP Either Arnie Munoz or Felix Diaz or Jon Adkins (possible long reliever replacement) 1B/DH/LF Ross Gload OF Brian Anderson OF Joe Borchard All of which are at or around the major league min of $330,000 Other Potential Minor Leaguers who could make an impact in 2006 Jorge Toca 1B R/R Josh Stewart SP LHP Dave Sanders RP LHP Ryan Sweeny OF Jerry Owens OF Dan Haiglewood SP Leo Daigle 1B (not really but we can all dream ) Noah Hall 1B Gio Gonzalez SP LHP So.... 51.4 million in guaranteed contracts plus 19.275 millions in estimated arbitration eligible contracts plus 4 million in Thomas/Everett buyouts plus 1 million for a 2006 DH plus 330,000 for Cotts that's already 76 million in guaranteed contracts. The real question is....is will the White Sox go to 90-91 million in total payroll. It will probably not cost more than 14 million to get Konerko. What do you think?

titletown baby

I think I'm gonna try to write everything down while I still remember it, and I would encourage everyone to do the same. Before we forget - let's remember exactly what we were doing when everything happened - the Iguchi homer - the AJ ball - the Podsednik game winner- the Blum dinger - the clincher. This also begs the question - will we see a White Sox book in the near future?

oops, I guess I was balls to the walls through October 27th. You get the idea lol.

thanks! classy post....

QUOTE(GoArow33 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) I'm starting to get sad that it's over til Soxfest. Anyone else suffering from this? I was personally ready for it to be over. I put a LOT of things in my life on hold for the playoffs, and I'm finally not going to sleep amped up on adrenaline and stress. I was balls to the wall about this team from March 15th til October 15th. 7 months is enough

It was not 100,000 people. Tens of thousands, yes. Probably 20-30k.

I'm pretty damn sure they clipped the PA with the music.

more like "the BALL is in the your court now, Jerry" AM I RITE

I hate that we don't have the info now. I hate not knowing.

I just came in on the Green Line. As I was pulling into Clark and Lake, I took a gander north to Wacker/LaSalle....pretty much completely packed as of 9:24. By noon, it'll be hopeless. My advice is to catch the parade further south. I'm not sure you'll be able to see much of the rally. Why didn't they do this at Grant Park?

sorry. mods please delete/merge

I don't know how real this is, but with a name like Carroll being dropped, this seems a big f***ing deal http://journals.aol.com/dcsportsguy/mrirre...nt/entries/2162 Thursday, October 27, 2005 5:05:00 PM EDT Hearing Sports Bloggers Live @ sblradio.com Yes, Delete Entry AL Playoff Outfielder Tests Positive for Steroids Deadspin's 'Who's the Mystery AL 'Roider?' post from yesterday included the following excerpt from this week's USA Today Sports Weekly: "An American League outfielder on a postseason team tested positive for steroids, according to his agent, but the player is appealing the results." Certainly interesting, but I didn't make much of it until we talked to Baseball Prospectus' Will Carroll on today's Sports Bloggers Live. Will writes a weekly column for BP that Peter Gammons has called an "industry standard," and he also wrote a book called 'The Juice' earlier this year. His response when told of the rumor? Carroll: "I really can't talk about it right now. It should be coming out within the next two weeks." SBL: "Is this a name we're actually going to care about?" Carroll: "Yes." SBL: "Is it a World Series champion?" Carroll: "I really can't talk about it." SBL: "I would hope not, because that might turn those White Sox black... Will, cough once if he's on the White Sox... Cough twice if it's Gary Sheffield." Carroll: "I was involved in the appeals process so I can't comment at all." Here's the full audio interview. The dialogue dictated here takes place between 6:20 and 7:00. If this is true, there's a 1-in-4 chance someone on the White Sox used steroids this season and then contributed to Chicago's first World Series victory since 1917. And there's a 100% chance a player used and then participated in the playoffs. So... Who was it? And what would Selig do if that player was the World Series MVP or the Game 2 hero? Would it be a Black Sox-level fiasco? Say it ain't so, Jermaine! Given what we presume to know -- that the guy is in the AL, made the playoffs, is relatively significant and plays outfield -- the list of possibilities is only 12-deep: · Chicago: Podsednik, Dye, Rowand · Anaheim: Anderson, Guerrero, Finley · New York: Matsui, Sheffield, Williams · Boston: Ramirez, Damon, Nixon As a fan of the game and none of the teams or players involved here (actually, Vlad is rad), I hope none of them are guilty. But if one is, I certainly hope he isn't on the White Sox.
