QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 2, 2006 -> 08:14 AM) Considering its a team that came off of a 93 win season, and sold out 5 1/2 years straight, I agree, the attendance was surprisingly low. As to booing Thome, the Indians wound up offering him over $60 million, and while Philadelphia's offer blew that away, I'm sure the fans felt jilted, just as White Sox fans were upset when Magglio left. It probably didn't help their feelings when Thome was traded to the White Sox, perhaps Cleveland's biggest rival, and he basically called it coming "home". They have a right to boo whether its appropriate or not. I'm sure it didn't affect Thome either way. Im pretty sure he called it "coming home" because he is from Peoria.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ May 2, 2006 -> 07:25 AM) Wasn't there a issue last year with Brantley and the Sox? Almost an media agrument between him and Guillen?? I remember something... Yeah, Ozzie didnt bring Hermanson in to close a game( i cant remember if the Sox blew the game or not) and Brantley dwelled on it for two segments on BBTN. Ozzie got pissed and ranted about it, and the next time Brantley was in town he went to smooth things over. He extended his hand, and IIRC, Ozzie just looked at it and didnt shake it.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 1, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) WHERE ARE THE PROPS FOR BOONE LOGAN?!?!?!?!!? Bow at the feet of your master

Boone Logan has been deemed god-like by chat. You have been warned.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 1, 2006 -> 04:14 PM) So, basically, San Diego swapped Mark Loretta for Josh Bard? And Cla Meredith and and cash or another player. LOL, the Yankees and Red Sox got into a bidding war for a backup catcher.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 1, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) I'd give him a similar deal to AJ, but more like 3 years and 18 mil, but nothing more at this point. I think a deal like that could happen after the season, IF he is serious about not letting his agent (Scotty Bor-ass) get in the way of a deal. I believe we do control his rights through the 2007 season. I think that is the most important aspect of re-signing Crede. Should Boras get in the mix, the Sox arent going to get a fair shake. Im sure that guy already has a 254 page book about how much impact Crede has on the White Sox.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 1, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) Shes a dumbass, or another believer of the "act like a dumbass" brand of women that we are seeing more and more of these days. Not that im opposed to that. Oh, and my dog is way cooler than yours. Did you get your dog yet?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 1, 2006 -> 12:51 PM) Where was she when I was in school. Obviously she has some low self esteem or something of the sort to continue to seek love and admiration from this kid even after getting in trouble. ooooooor he is hung like a bear. Smokinghotcrazy, that girl is. She must not mind jailtime either, or she is just as dense as she is hot. Her pathetic attempts at contacting the kid are so easy to find out.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ May 1, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) I am so much more excited about these games than the white sox..... ESPN has their erection-o-meter for these pointless games. Yeah, its pretty bad today. Dan Patrick is broadcasting his show from a Boston hotel near Fenway, everyone is making a big deal about Doug f***ing Mirabelli being traded back to the Red Sox instead of the Yankees who wanted to put him on the bench so the Red Sox couldnt have him(you would think he was the second coming of Johnny Bench), Its the lead story on the hot list, its going to be broadcast on ESPN. I would say the erection o meter is pointing straight up about now

damn, juddling, beat me to it. My bad, didnt mean to double this one up LOL, Boras has a lot of nerve calling someone else unproffessional should these charges be true.

that video didnt work, windows didnt recognize the file

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 1, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) I wouldn't take Fielder for the sole reason that I can see him ballooning to gigantic proportions in no time. He's gonna make late-era Tony Gwynn look like an anorexic dwarf. Dude's gonna eat himself outta the game if he ain't careful. He's already got the bouncin' titties when he runs. He uses those bouncin titties like Homer does to hit a ball. Bouncin titties are VITAL to his swing. How dare you knock those bouncin titties

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) My wife, after less than a week of getting them for me while I work in a town that isn't considered the Chicagoland area, got tired of doing it and was able to persuade the 7-11 worker to sell her the rest of the set that I needed, so I proudly am displaying the whole set now. It looks real nice! Who's today's ball, does anyone know? I put them in a random order, but want to see how accurate I was. Thome I think

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) I still think he called a pretty s***ty game behind the plate at times today, but he made up for it at the plate. He wanted to pound the outside half of the plate it seemed, and as DJ and Hawk kept mentioning Garland was at his best last year when he was pounding the inside half of the plate. Hopefully this changes throughout the year

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) i went to three 6 mafia last night. it was awesome. did you drink syrup before you went in?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 02:10 PM) The only conclusion that I can come up with is that maybe the vet didn't think it was neccesary to put the dog down, but they insisted on doing it. Just because it ended up being put down eventually doesn't mean it was neccessary back when the family requested it. it was euthanized 10 months later, its not like this dog lived for years after this happened. You would think the Vet would be able to tell that this dogs illness was not going to get better. Not to mention that he/she deliberately decieved the family.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Imagine how the tigers think. They destroy the twins, and make up no ground. Eventually, they will settle down and will start to lose ground. I bet the Tigers are still wondering how they got swept in Comerica by the Sox.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 05:22 PM) How bout some props for Pablo! Another Pablo stolen base comes back to haunt the Halos! No s***, Scioscia must have nightmares about him getting on base

Our West Coast woes wont be completely solved until we march into Oakland and take 2 out of 3 or sweep, but with this team i think it is possible. Judy Garland made another appearance, but the team hung in there. The Widgenator with a big game! Crede is crushing the ball as usual, I am really excited for him this year. 7 straight against anaheim, 6 straight IN anaheim. Who'd a thunk it?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) Here's where I'm confused. I assume the vet recommended the dog be put down, or can you just walk into a vet's office and have a pet killed on request, even against that vet's advice ?? I think you have to have good reason to put an animal down, but i am not positive. The animal in question had debilitating epilepsy, and even after it was given away to another family eventually had to be put down because the siezures were so bad. Basically, this Vet put the animal through more suffering because he/she decided that the family were bad owners(how he/she came to that conclusion I have no idea).

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 09:54 AM) Van Halen - not a Hair Band (although I prefer the term Cock Rock). Van Hagar - most definitely Power Ballad central. Quiet Riot anyone? And what about Night Ranger? LOL, of course you do. Damn Yankees anyone? Jackyl? Was Europe, Whitesnake or White Lion considered in this genre? I dont know if this happens to anyone else, but when I read this thread I start singing "Cherry Pie" to myself. It is maddening.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 09:58 AM) Please don't start implying that I'm some bandwagon fan. That's bulls***. :rolly All I'm saying is that I don't think Guillen would gain amnesia about the story of his baseball team and forget that, for instance, Carlos Lee treated Damaso Marte like s*** and thus Marte beaned him. He wouldn't say, "I ordered it" or even condone it, but all I'm saying is that I don't think he'd pretend that nothing had ever happened like Scioscia. I wasn't aware that I'd declared Geoff Blum the best hitter in White Sox history. Well, he is the best hitter in White Sox World Series extra inning history.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 09:53 AM) That, coupled with a desire for some leadoff man, was what led to Lee being labeled one of the "selfish" players and being sent off. this is between players, so the heat generated isnt quite the same as it would be if Guillen had a player plunk Lee

Damaso Marte and Carlos Lee have a past history? Or are you referring to history between Guillen and Lee, because thats not quite the same
