QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) With respect to waivers the CBA makes reference to MLB Rule 10. If you can find information pertaining to that rule that should end this debate. There is no mention of irrevocable waivers in the CBA or any official document I've been able to find in MLB. I will always believe official documents over ESPN news reports. Reporters make mistakes all the time. That's why they print corrections. Find me a correction on ESPN.com that says irrevocable waivers dont exist, and that the reporter made it up

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 10:19 AM) I want us to face oakland sometime in the playoffs, because I think we are due. You have to beat the best to be the best folks. A- f***ING-Men, Rock. This is how I have felt all year.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) That's a DIFFERENT waiver period altogether! We are talking REGULAR season! Dont try and clarify after the fact. you know what you said.

Hey juggs, it helps to know what you are talking about when you say there is no such thing as irrevocable waivers. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1650053 however, there is no tooth fairy. Santa Claus is another story.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) Well, wouldn't the White Sox claim him? Then the Reds would have to deal with the White Sox. No? If the Sox claim him, they pick up his contract, right? And if they let him clear waivers, then they could work out a trade to have the reds pick up some of his salary. At least thats how I understand it, correct me if Im wrong.

Im actually kind of worried that Griffey would clear waivers, and the Reds would work out a trade with someone other than the Sox. I dont think the problem for the Sox is worrying wether he will make it through waivers rather it is wether the Sox will be the one that the Reds deal with.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) This offense makes me sick. The Sox record makes me healthy.

GREAT STOP. This series is fantastic so far. Everything I wanted, plus the drama.

Is small sneaky or something? I dont think Pods has swung yet

f***ing Uribe

Something tells me that all foul nets in the major leagues are going to be able to hold at least 250 pounds after yesterday.

Hey! Look at that! Small ball! Widger moved the runners!

Rowand is making a name for himself in this series. he looks Edmonds-like.

Caahl giveth, Caahl taketh away

Welcome back Caaaaaaaaaahhhl

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) 1-0 Yankees after two innings of play at the Bronx Zoo. The Bronx Zoo? I thought they renamed it The Bronx Launching Pad last night?

Did you guys just hear Bruce interviewing Griffey?

Bruce interviewed griffey. He didnt sound opposed to the idea of coming to Chicago at ALL.

Would you rather Hawk just ho-hum the ninth inning and act like it didnt matter? Take the facts into consideration: 1. The Sox shutout one of the best offenses, at their stadium, for nine innings with their most vilified pitcher on the hill. Not to mention Contreras is a former Yankee 2. The Yankees history of coming back in their own stadium. 3. A possible playoff matchup. 4. The game ended on a screaming linedrive down the line that would have tied the game and put the winning runner in scoring position. Hawk is a homer, Get over it. Find me an announcer who isnt, and then tell me why it is better that he isnt.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 08:15 AM) Is he.. or was the ump just being tight. I Tivo's the game.. and watched that last half inning at least 5 times.. then I woke Jim up, not saying why, and the first thing he said was "hmm.. looks like Marte is getting squeezed a bit there.." He got squeezed on a few pitches. The last pitch he threw to Giambi was a strike in my mind, and Hawk b****ed about it. Im not saying that verifies that it was a strike, but Marte wasnt getting the outside corner to lefties at all.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) They just said on Sports Center that the kid got arrested they think he did it on purpose. I doubt it with that scared look on his face no way does the jury find him guilty. O yah and pods #1 play 2 days straight. Im guessing there has to be some sort of visual evidence of this kid jumping if they want to charge him with it. Im glad Pods didnt have to get punched in the face this time to make the #1 play.

Sportscenter just reported that the 18 year old male doing his little high-wire act in the 9th inning tonite actually JUMPED off the upper deck onto the net. He has been arrested on four misdemeanor counts. More on this as it comes. Wow.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) Is anyone else getting really sick of Bryan Dolgin. All he is is a company man. Wilsy was honest and wouldn't suggarcoat anything. Dolgin is always kissing the Sox asses. For example teh game that Buehrle got thrown out the first thing dolgin said was how the umpires don't respect the sox. I'm sorry but how 2 umps act doesn't mean that the umps are out to get the sox. Almost all of the umps have been fair. He was also blaming the umps for last night. If you dont like it, then PM him.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) How did they fit that into the Golf and Rock and Roll show? Worst broadcast of the year, they missed entire at bats. I had to look it up on GameDay to see how Cantu got on 1b, for all I could tell from the radio he just parachuted in with the Elvis'. Terrible, lazy broadcast. Not calling plays is like a batter not running out a ground ball. What game are you talking about? Last nights game was against the Yankees. Jorge Cantu is on the Devil Rays. And Elvis night was against the Mariners. Im kind of confused about your statement.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) Hey, I just beat the A's on Ken Griffey Junior Baseball(SNES Version) 6-1!!! I hope that's a good omen. Of course, our modern Sox don't have anyone like U. Josh or the speedy Russel. I have the N64 version of KGJ baseball. I love it, I usually set it to a 162 game season and end up winning around 145-150 games. All the players look totally juiced up and hitting homeruns is really easy. My problem is always the pitchers, they tire really easy, the stamina function just doesnt work right. My pitchers were always dying by the 5th inning no matter which team I play and which pitcher I use. The funny thing about it is that opposing pitchers get better against me when they lose their stuff, striking me out on pitches that sweep about 10 inches outside the plate going 50 MPH. Its like facing Shingo for 5 innings.
