QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 09:15 AM) That's interesting considering when I mentioned it just a few weeks ago several folks here said they had never heard it and didn't believe it... i would say the vast majority of Sox fans didn't know about it.

I didn't know about Paulie's hip problems, but that might explain his max speed of 4 mph. lol

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) do you really want only a 20 homerun guy at 1B/DH? Sure, if he can drive in runs with a high BA and 40 + doubles. If KW thinks OVerbay is ready to take that next step, then trade for him. Personally, I doubt that he is.

meh, Germany will probably just give in to their demands.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) Like JimH said, we're not the GM. However, if we have to pay PK that much money, you're going to see us not spend as much in other areas. If the PK contract prevents us from extending the deals for Garland and AJP, then I think it's a bad trade. Look at how much money average pitchers like Loaiza are getting in the FA market. If we don't extend Garland now, we're almost definitely going to lose him and Contreras after this year. Since we just gave up 2 of our best starting prospects, we need to keep as many of these core starters as possible. Yea, those are good points. I just don't think an extra 3 million or so per season for Konerko would break the budget if we're playoff contenders every year. But you're right, we do need to get Garland signed before he becomes a FA. If we don't we're going be facing the same type of situation in a couple of years.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) I honestly think there are other players out there who can benefit our team just as much as he can, but for a lot less money. and who are these players you speak of.

Rachael Nichols seems nice, she's on ESPN. lol

Hey, what do you guys think about signing Giles? I heard he's available.

:headshake you would think the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee would have better things to do.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) From the point of view of Indy, what do they have to gain from this? A place in history. Personally, I would go for 16-0 and the superbowl. Prove you're the best team in NFL history and win it with style (ala 85' Bears). But I do understand the risks that are being taken keeping starters in to assure a win after homefield advantage is decided.

leave em in then maybe Manning will get injured and won't be able to play against the Bears in the Super Bowl.

"officers might surround a bank, check the IDs of everyone going in and out" wtf? this kind of stuff is definitely a bad, bad idea.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Yup all those prominent, potentially America leading Democrats were all about propping up her battle. She wasn't polling well enough for them to be seen with her.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) God isn't politically incorrect. Yet. I think it is, but I could be wrong.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) Why not? She's a willing participant. Seems more like the Democrats taking advantage of someone that is attempting to deal with a horrible loss in their life.

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) I dunno, can Konerko feed his child on 60 million? Perhaps he'll go to the welfare line next to Latrell Sprewell.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) Sorry in what way..? Or do you mean you mean you feel bad for her..? Yes, feel bad for. Right after I posted that I knew someone was goin to say what you did. Oh, and by say i mean post... even though you could have said it while you posted your reply, it would have been impossible of me to know that. And by impossible i mean improbable, I suppose if soxtalk had your house/work office bugged I could be listening . But that would also assume soxtalk was sharing this intelligence information with me.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) a thief (don't forget, it should be president Gore) hahahaha

I feel sorry for her. However, she is really annoying.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Jesus, what is Konerko going to get? 25 years 600 million? haha i was thinking the same thing

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) Lets go over the commie anti-american/anti-humanity checkbook here. Flew to Hanoi to give aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese while American POWs were being beaten, tortured, and killed, check Flew to Tehran to condemn the "Crimes of America" while his fellow citizens were being held hostage by Iranian militants check Flew to the defense of PLO leaders sued by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair-bound American tourist who was shot and tossed overboard from the cruise ship Achille Lauro by Palestinian commandos in 1986 check Flew to the aid of indicted Rwanda genocide conspirator Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Hutu pastor accused of luring hundreds of Tutsi men, women, and children into his church and hospital compound - Flew to support the 1993 World Trade Center bombers (he played the race card for sympathetic minority jurors by decrying our racist judicial system), and continues to represent Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, the scheming Muslim cleric now in federal prison for his role in planning New York City terrorist attacks Defend Slobodan Milosevic, check. Defend Radovan Karadzic in the civil suit brought forth by Bosnian rape victims, check. now defend Saddam, check what an ass.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) Remember it will take two innings for Hernandez to warm up. Ozzie will need to plan well in advance to use him in the pen. Plus, is it worth it to have a guy pissed off to be in the pen and can only work sparingly? I just don't think it's a good fit for a whole year. 1) No, it won't take him 2 innings to warm up. I don't know where you got that from. '2) I doubt he'll be 'pissed off' coming out of the pen.
