QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) Uhhh wasn't Shoppach traded to Colorado along with Adam Stern for Larry Bigbie? yessir he was.

I just cannot imagine him being able to to anything near the kind of physical activity that CF requires if he tore a tendon in a mere 4-6 weeks. I dont wish it on him, but I think it will probably be in his best interest to shut it down. Of course, if the Twins somehow stay in it, im sure he will attempt a comeback to spark the team.

Back in 1994 my family bought an alaskan malamute puppy from a breeder near Rockford. We visited them a few times to pick the puppy from the litter(you had to have a deposit on the puppy before birth) and socialize ourselves with her until she was able to come home with us at 8 weeks. There was probably close to 50 breeding dogs on site, and every single one of them had that surgery because of a court order to do so. These people had lived at their house for more than 25 years when a new subdivision went up, and the main street into the subdivision was basically right across the street from the breeder's house. New neighbors moved in, and instantly they started complaining. It escalated until the neighbors took these people to court and got a noise ordinance placed on these people, which subsequently forced them to "de-bark" all of their dogs. Now knowing my Malamute, I know that these ARE loud and talkative dogs. If anyone here has owned a Malamute, you would know that they dont bark like regular dogs, they make "woo woo" sounds more than a normal bark. But walking through their kennels, and listening to every one of those poor dogs hoarse, weak attempt to bark really broke my heart. It sounded like someone dropped a hot coal on their vocal chords and just let them deal with it. I would never do that to my dogs, absolutely never.

Somebody put Benchwarmerjim on suicide watch, pronto.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) Anybody want to put it into action? SS2K5? SS2K5 is on the retired list.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Did he go when the veterans committee put in the guy from Pittsburgh? dunno, I dont follow the HOF proceedings too well.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) When Jackson was found NG I guess.. that's when I first saw it in the newspapers. I thought his age precluded his name from any media, but what do I know.

I guess he has a huge problem with Sandberg making the hall. I have never been told what this problem is. I guess he thinks he is the be-all end-all in second basemen, and noone after him should be inducted.

Since when did the kids name become public knowledge? I thought he was not to be named in the media....

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) has Fuentez (sp?) the LHRP from Rockies name been thrown around anymore? That guy is good, and if Wagner is not on the market, he would be a good fit for the White Sox What is this reality bulls***. We are talking in a culinary language here, get with the program!

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) No... Wille Harris = MVP Now it has everything. no need for green......

The only thing missing is Anthrax93 proclaiming that if he were Kenny, he would have skipped the plain sandwich altogether, and gone for a panini. Damn Kenny, you are so stupid.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) Nice to meet you Crazy, I'm Los Medias Blancas. So, we'll have a how many million dollar has been ON THE BENCH? Listen to what you're saying, he's not good enough to start over Crede??!!...at how many million?? He could have a good end to the season, and be very tradeworthy by the end of the season. It has happened before. Im just looking at it like it has to get done right now. Im going crazy like this kids mom sort of crazy http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/1597352/

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Yep, I'm becoming indifferent to it. I don't blame KW if he doesn't pull the trigger at this point. I mean you take on Lowell, who sux and his fat contract and then what if AJ joins us and sux too, then AJ doesn't even sign an extension??? Too much risk, not enough probable reward. I'll back KW if it happens, but I won't cry if it doesn't at this point. Call me crazy, but I just have this feeling that Lowell will do well if he ends up on the Sox. Im thinking that maybe he will get a little rejuvenated if put squarely in the lead of a pennant race on the best team in the majors. Who knows if it happens, but I think Lowell will be the one I prefer subbing for Crede instead of PaButcher Ozuna, and Ozuna can stick to backing up Uribe and Iguchi.

Dunno if this has been reported yet, but the Yankees traded for Shawn Chacon. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2118888

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Sorry, but I liked the album and cover art on Queen's "The Miracle." It helped me to get through my internship in college. The album or the picture?

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Please tell me what you don't like about what I said? I'm not allowed to have an opinion? Read the statement you refuted. Then re-read. Then tell me where the author thought the Sox got fleeced.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) There's no way the Sox got "fleeced," they're 30 games over .500, have a 11 1/2 game lead, and one of the main reasons is Pods. This is the "fantasy" effect on baseball. Just look at the players individual numbers and judge them on those alone

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) I don't want carlos back on this team, but Ben Sheets that's another story!!!!!!! I was just making a sarcastic point, sans green font.

QUOTE(bigred3535 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) I don't know if anyone has mentioned this in any of the numerous Overbay threads, but I'd be more than willing to go for this deal if the Sox could get Derrick Turnbow as part of it. He'd be a fantastic bullpen addition, almost to the same degree as Wagner, especially since Turnbow is younger and, in all likelyhood, more easily re-signeable. Right, and while we are taking their best players, we can go ahead and trade for Ben Sheets and Carlos Lee too!

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) When sox season is over and it is bear season , that s*** won't be cute anymore. Whoa Mr intolerance, backerdown now....We deal with scattered fans of other teams(benchwarmerjim comes to mind), whats the big deal?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) That could be a sign that a lot of trades are gonna go down, no? this is what we keep telling ourselves.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) Yikes.. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/gallery/bad_album_covers/ I dont know where you find all these great links Steff, but keep em coming. I had that "Ken, by request" album cover as my desktop for months i thought it was so funny.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) Well even after us being owned so much recently we still have the better record vs them so there had to be times when we totally dominated them 2 and it was still a rivalry than. Sure, the bears owned the 80's vs the packers. The Packers flipped the script on us since about 91. Im kind of hazy on Bears history before the year i was born(78), but I know it was pretty back and forth decade to decade.
