QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) DA U!!!! That school just produces miserable thug after miserable thug. unfortuntely, they also produce successful athlete after successful athlete. What ever happened to that Willy Williams kid? I remember there was a huge recruiting war for his services, and while visiting various colleges he got himself into so much trouble that he ended up having to wear an ankle bracelet for his senior prom. Shortly after he declared for miami.

forgive me for being a little random, but isnt there a Felix Potvin as well?

LOL, this happened last summer.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) Crowns on a 3 year old...??? Not only that, but a 3 year old with decaying teeth? Those teeth were a little over a year old, and whats the point of crowning them? They would have fallen out when his adult teeth came in.

Since my kid is shortly out of the toddler years, I have to say that when you have a superactive kid, you dont just fall asleep around the kid. And even if you do, you are alert. To know that this guy passed out cold while his kid had free reign of the backseat of the car is disturbing and just hard to believe as it stands.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Someone else may get that championship, but I still get that banner to hang saying 2005 Soxtalk Regular Season Champion. Regular season is just a tuneup. I think Knightni put it best when he told me : Regular season champion. LOL. That trophy goes next to the annual Windy City attendance trophy in order of importance

According to the guy who got "punked him otta his shoes and clothes and b**** slapped", he was about to get raped by those two guys. They were both bigger than him, and in the interview last night he said his only concern was to stay on his feet, because he said it was over if he fell. The guards waited over 20 minutes to help him. His way of putting up a fight was staying on his feet, I dont think he should have tried anything more than that because he would have just made the situation worse. What if he swung at the guy punking him out, and the third guy jumped up and started helping the attacker? Just an unfortunate situation for the "victim"

This was on the news last night. I think he settled for 750,000.

Does he still make the rounds? Or did the "outing" force him to change his name and game?

Buehrle Stat of the Day: Mark Buehrle is currently working on a one time only pill that will simultaneously cure the Bird Flu, the Turkish Bird Flu, Cancer, and AIDS. He came up with this cure while in his deer stand on his property, to which Mark commented "There just werent alot of deer around, so I was bored. Everything I needed was right here, so I just went for it." It is rumored that Beuhrle will win the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

Why do I have to miss all of the exciting stuff? Can someone fill me in?

#2 hitters, as in the guy who hit in the 2 slot? Or the second batter he faced every inning?

I wouldnt go busting in on their picket lines with signs that say We are Retards, unless you plan on throwing down with a bunch of pissed off rioters. Nice group, really strong and positive message they throw around.

I agree, Kiley wrote this article Hunter S Thompson style and got blitzed before he wrote it. Its all over the place.

Hey man, Im just along for the ride. This is your Cadillac, if you want a new engine, who am I to stand in your way?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) Alligators are pretty quick on land, at least in bursts. My computer sucks and I can never watch those kinds of movies at home. I imagine the movie is of a tiger killing an alligator. Could someone explain it better? I am fairly sure it is a Tiger in India, taking on a Alligator around 10+ feet. It really is impressive, seeing as the whole fight takes place in the mud, and the Tiger is killing the alligator by riding its back and biting down on its neck which is mere inches from the alligators mouth. There is a couple of shots where the tiger almost gets it, but he ultimately wins.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) Besides, here is one stat you need to know regarding Vasquez: 12 million dollars a freaking season, or more than 10 times what Bmac will cost. The Diamondbacks are picking up a portion of this contract, no?

You know, they could have just fired the kid for using the internet too much. But they completely embarrassed him as well, and revealed some of his conversations through an newspaper. Pretty s***ty.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 11:31 AM) I definitely agree with this....I don't blame him for going to KC. I just think he's a bad coach, yet for some reason nobody calls him out for it. YOU PLAYYYYY TO WIN THE GAME.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 10:22 AM) I'm glad to see that most of the recent posters to this thread agree that Vazquez, as of right now, cannot be considered better than JC, MB, JG, or FG, especially since he's coming in from the NL into a HR park (he gave up 65 HRs the last two years). Certainly we all hope that Cooper can bring him back closer to his Montreal levels, but I'd be shocked if he can get his ERA below 4.00 in the Cell. What I wanted to add, however, is a link to a Philly.com article today about an Abreu-for-pitching deal possibly happening in the middle of next year. I've excerpted the relevant parts. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/sports/13596113.htm If you think the Phillies' pitching hasn't improved in this off-season, you aren't alone. Pat Gillick agrees.... "The one area that we've been trying to focus on... is our pitching," Gillick said. "And that's the area we haven't improved, both the front end and the back end."... "The type of person that we're looking for - and they're hard animals to find - is a No. 1 or No. 2 starter," Gillick said.... Gillick reiterated yesterday that the most likely route for obtaining a quality starter would come via a trade. Rightfielder Bobby Abreu is considered the obvious candidate. *************************** In mid-July next year, unless Vazquez improves a lot more than I expect he will, I'd be more than willing to trade Vazquez for Abreu, especially if the Phillies were willing to eat $4-6 million of his $16 million 2007 contract total. Of course, our other starters and McCarthy would all have to be healthy and we'd also likely have to have signed Contreras to an extension. If you think about it, who is going to be able to offer the Phillies a better pitcher than Vazquez for Abreu, and who is also going to want Abreu for their team? I can't think of a team. For us, however, Abreu would be a great fit - Venezuelan, with some speed, perfect #3 hitter, lefty bat, huge offensive upgrade over Anderson and better offensively than any of our outfielders. By midseason, having that 6th starter (who likely won't have much of a postseason role) will have less value than boosting our offensive production. But until then, it is probably better to have the pitching depth. So not only are you assuming that Vazquez will not improve, but you are also assuming that Brian Anderson will be less than adequate and another outfielder will need to be acquired, huh?

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 07:53 AM) That is the worst part of the league. Players holding out for more money, or teams cutting players when they suck. The difference is that the team has the upper hand due to the agreement. That is why the player should just honor the contract and play. If the players don't like it, renegotiate the agreement. So a player should just play out their contract because the management has the upper hand? What if the player doesnt like it and wishes to renegotiate, but the team says no? Then what? The player should just play out their contract then, because the management has the upper hand? Im sorry, you might understand the non-gauranteed contracts, but you are posting like you dont understand at all. The league is cutthroat, thats all there is to it. You perform, or you will be replaced. And the superstars reserve the right to hold out, because time in the limelight lasts as long as a one-year contract, every year. The only thing players hold out for is signing bonuses, because thats the only gauranteed money they will get. Why should I fault Herman Edwards for leaving and putting himself in a better situation? Coaches do it every year, just ask Bill Parcells how many times he has shifted his situation, and then ask the Jets how much it cost to pry him from New England. There was nothing shady about the negotiations, it wasnt like Edwards sprung it on the Jets. The Chiefs asked about him, then entered into trade talks for him. Didnt sound like the Jets were too upset to lose him.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Jan 11, 2006 -> 02:59 AM) The sox dont like to sign boras players from the market. But remember Crede is not on the market, so boras cant inflate a simple supply demand situation. Id say Crede signs for something like 1.3-1.5 Mil in 2006 and if he cant play enough games or is hindered by his back he will be gone in 07. See, you dont understand Boras too well. Boras understands that he is not going to get what he wants out of the White Sox organization, just as well as they understand that they dont want to give him what he wants. So when Boras is in a negotiating situation with the Sox, he will inflate the demand, especially when it is a restricted FA situation. Why does he do this? Well, for one the Sox will reject the demand and then go to arbitration. The Sox despise going to arbitration, and do many things to avoid it. One of the things they could do is put the player on the trading block so they can get value for a player that they probably wont be able to negotiate with. This puts the hammer in Boras' hand because he gets to deal with whatever new team the Sox trade the player to(whether it is arbitration or a contract), and get the deal he wants to make his client happy, and get his big cut.
