QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) It's also worth noting that a lot of the names on those lists might be people like Carl Everett...where the teams can hold an option to pick up the player's contract for another year. Thats why the # sign is next to them, which is indicated at the bottom as a Player and/or team option.

That deadspin link got me to some hilarious photos of various boston and white sox players partying the night away with various young females.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 10, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) There is FAR MORE than 1 fault line running through there. This one is totally unrelated to the events in Sumatra. I dont think its totally unrelated. http://geology.er.usgs.gov/eastern/plates.html The african and australian plate are pushing against each other, and it runs up through the Indian and Australian plate.

Aaron Rowand f***ing rules. Scott Reifort f***ing rules for letting the average person know what actually took place. Couch can stick it where the sun dont shine. Its funny how Mariotti always has so much insight on what is going on, but we all know that he wouldnt dare stick his lipstick and rouge painted face in the clubhouse, because he would get something like this, but probably worse.

I had heard that the upcoming FA list was pretty weak. After scanning this list, i am going to have to disagree. Alot of big names could be moving on, it should be quite interesting. There are some teams on this list that could be completely unrecognizable opening day 2006. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article...p&c_id=mlb#free

The fault line that lies throughout the Indian ocean up through India and Asia is the most active fault line/continental plate in the world right now isnt it? With all of the recent, chaotic, and violent activity on that fault line, its pretty scary to think that the Tsunami and earthquake are only the start of something pretty big.

I never heard him broadcast a game, but he obviously garnered alot of respect. I thought the Tony Fernandez excerpt was touching.

/becomes observant fly on the wall.

I love how Republicans keep saying "Oh sure, George bush caused the Hurricane." I never faulted anyone for the natural disaster. I faulted people for the reaction to the natural disaster, which was embarrassing and shameful at the very least. I blame FEMA more than I blame Bush in this instance, a hell of alot more. The boss always takes the heat for his employees. Im not saying its right, its just the way things work. I dont see this issue as being republican or democrat, I see it as being humanitarian. It was a sense of responsibility and reactive-ness(if thats even a word) that was abandoned, and thats a shame.

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Oct 9, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) Rowand was definitely the one who gave a "creepy rant." What the hell is a "creepy rant"? Creepy rant = Rowand telling Couch to STFU.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines Ok, two columnists have acknowledged it. I no longer think we have excessively b****ed about it.

Wow, I know exactly what Couch is talking about. Bruce Levine was talking about this just the other day. Levine said he was talking to Aaron Rowand when Couch came over to him and started asking him some questions, when Rowand turned on him and said basically "I have been reading your articles all year ripping on us, and I want you to know that we dont appreciate it. Throughout the whole year, you didnt need us, you didnt need our quotes, and now you do?" Levine said that Couch sat there and took it, and that Rowand went on for about 15 minutes. This was on Thursday morning, Carmen and Silvy were talking about Mariotti and asking about his Thursday column in which he mentioned "amateur media critics in the locker room", and this is what he was talking about. It was really funny, Levine hates Couch, so he was like "I cant believe he ran and tattled to Mariotti. Why doesnt Couch try and write his own columns?" Mariotti this morning is inferring that the Sox need to play the Yankees because if they do, that means they will be playing a very tired out team, its the winning script as he puts it.

I thought Uribe was represented by Boras also?

i remember the Sox facing this guy this year. I thought he had filthy stuff. I am very surprised Stoneman let him go IIRC, Turnbow was released because of arm problems and we all know that Jenks was released due to arm and personal problems.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) The ball curved right around the pole. Just as people here can say AJ stepping on Boone wasn't intentional, I could just as easily say he was adjusting his gloves because he thought it was going foul. People just seem to overanalyze stuff like this. The glove removing at-bat was when he hit his homerun to left, IIRC. There was no doubt that was going to be fair.

LOL. I just realized I could do a "dips*** montage" with John Donovans articles on SI.com from last week too.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) And to the chat crew, it's been a great season and thank you for letting me become the people's admin.... When did this happen? Why wasnt I present at this vote? Boooooooo!

I found this sequence of articles from local cub fan-turned-ESPN reporter Gene Wojciechowski (could you have any more vowels in your name?) pretty amusing Oct 1 - he doesnt even acknowledge the possibility that the Yanks and Bosox will not make the ALCS http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...gene&id=2177605 Oct 2 - Priceless quote "He'll be on the Fenway mound for Saturday's game against the White Sox. Game 4 of the AL Divisional Series. " http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...gene&id=2179207 Oct 5 - Title of the article "South Side blowout no reason to break out brooms" http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...gene&id=2181188 Oct 8 - Acknowledgement, but the article was pretty much about how the Red Sox lost, more than about how the White Sox won. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...gene&id=2183947 what a tool.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 09:37 AM) Did anyone catch Suttcliffe when Duque was warming up? He said: "yeah, El Duque is probably just getting some work on the side, because he is NOT a reliever. I heard that. I laughed to myself when Duque came in.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 08:37 AM) Yes he did. And Larry Brown said he isn't in very good shape, but thinks he will be eventually. Larry Brown is going to be wishing he never left Detroit by December. What, you dont think all of the Knicks streetballah's are gonna work out together.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Berman's Boston connection really didn't show whatsoever in this series. He just, as mentioned earlier in this thread, didn't do his homework on the White Sox very well. Sorry man, I know you are stinging right now, but you are wrong.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 8, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) Exactly. What a classless thread. Why is that? Berman was openly rooting for the Red Sox, thats pretty s***ty on a national telecast. This is where you are supposed to vent. And it isnt as if we are the only people that noticed. Above this post is a small sample of Bermans quotes in Ed Shermans article. The only thing classless was Berman. And this is coming from someone who really used to enjoy Berman.

I like this one

How awesome was it that the White Sox got their insurance run the same way that they were knocked out in 2000? I thought that was a brilliant call by Ozzie. Gutsy, and it knocked the wind right out of their sails.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) I have to say Ozzie managed this series f***ing brilliantly* *cept fer marte He gave Damaso the chance to do his job(you know, that whole getting lefties out thing), and Damaso s*** the bed. Now Ozzie has to know that Cotts is his man in that situation. Damaso proved it to him.
