The Score would be smart to add Mac to Boers somehow since they are like BFFs.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) Me too. I live close to Yorktown and for years there's been a Circuit City and Best Buy down Butterfield Rd. For as long as they've been open I can only remember going there twice and that was when Best Buy was out of something. I'm actually suprised they stayed around this long, all my friends and family went to Best Buy, Frye's or QED when it was open for DVDs and such, I can't honestly remember anyone going to Circuit City. Same on everything

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 12:06 PM) My wife and stepdaughter both use an insane amount of toilet paper. I love how my wife never buys any, though. So every few months I get done and realize the roll is done, and I go to the closet to get more, and there is none. Since I have 3 bathrooms and she never uses the one in the basement I've started hiding TP in there so she can't f*** it up but that still means I have to tiptoe down the stairs. Congratulations! You've just told the entire board about your wife's monster dumps!

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) Dbaho and Steve, The points I'm making are that his moves did not look horrible at the time. It's easy to bash now. I give you guys the Tyrus-LA trade. But even that did not seem like the end of the world at the time. But yeah, show him the door for other reasons: 1.) Not having the Balls to stand up to ownership in regards to the luxury tax. 2.) Not having the balls to make a gutsy deadline deal. 3.) Letting the Deng and BG negotiations become a distraction. And Steve, read my explanation on Rose. I never gave him credit for winning the lottery. I gave him credit for drafting Rose over Beasley. Which might have been a 50/50 pick outside of Chicago circles. Also, I'm pretty sure the contracts of Ben and Hughes both end at the summer of '10. http://hoopshype.com/salaries.htm You're right on the contracts, my mind must be stupid. As for Rose, most by the time the draft rolled around, in and away from Chicago felt Rose was the easy top choice.

This is an unfair poll. Sure, I'd prefer Javy, you're more than likely getting 200 innings out of him. Anyone who would say otherwise is nuts. However, you just can't compare the two player's salaries, especially given the economic safeguard the White Sox seem to be in right now.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) I have NOT liked the money he got since the very moment I heard it. That money made a lot more sense when he rejected it after 06-07. Him signing the same deal this year was a joke.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 10:21 AM) 1.) The Ben Wallace signing ( he was a premier FA at the time and most Bull fans wanted that major FA cherry popped) No one complained about the signing during the 06-07 season.I've never faulted him for this signing. We complained when they weren't re-signed before 2007-08. Not re-signing Deng got in his head, and letting these situations drag as long as they did effected the team tremendously last year. Deng was woeful last year, and expecting him to bounce back was foolish. The problem here is we all know there are teams out there that would take Deng (Portland, admittedly). Pax sits on his hands too much. We needed someone who could score inside. The one thing Aldridge was known for was a sweet hook shot that would transfer well to the NBA level. The ONE TIME Pax doesn't go with the safe pick is the ONE TIME the guy we need is there. That pick was terrible. Can't really fault this pick to this day. Too early still to tell, and the pick isn't high enough to matter. That's a problem in itself. He needs to man up and convince Reinsdorf. KW has Reinsdorf's trust, while Pax is a f***ing puppet. Well, Gooden is not a mainstay, he's gone after this year. Big Ben's contract is shorter than Hughes, and we still suck, so I don't see how we really won there. It was a good trade just because Eddy needed to get paid and he sucks. However, if you screw it up after that (Tyrus and Noah instead of Aldridge and Hawes), then it washes itself of his greatness. I guess being lucky now equates to being good? He should be gone yesterday. He also hired VDN, one of the biggest idiot moves ever.

Man, I saw this thread and was praying the subtitle was "fired". I've wanted him to get the ax since it was apparent Tyrus was not going to work out.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 09:21 AM) You know, it helps when you actually spell my country's name PROPERLY. I'm am over the top person. Oh, so now we're supposed to care about how convicts want things spelled? COME ON! /Gob

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 01:56 AM) You guys are too uptight about the whole bathroom deal. It's a bathroom, people go there to pick their nose, piss and s***. My favorite is when guys give you that 'eww' look when you fart at the urinal. Where else am I supposed to go to tear ass? I always hold my farts at urinals if there is someone next to me. I don't know why, you make a good point. Some dude is dropping a steaming deuce one door down, and I can't blast away? My life has just changed.

My paper towels stand on a dispenser on our countertop. That was not an option though.

I think there should be a "Best Newsbreaker" Award, and then I should win it. I always click rotoworld at the right time!

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) Anyone else checking out The Beast tonight??? looks like maybe The Shield lite. I'll give it a chance. I have a hard time getting into a show whose lead character is going to die any day now. That doesn't spell much for longevity.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 03:28 PM) I just saw the trailer for the new Punch-Out! game for Wii. Some of the same guys from the first are gonna be in it. Glass Joe and Kingo Hippo were in the trailer. A must-own.

Season 4 was the s***. "Who Pooped the Bed" was brilliant.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) 244 innings while in that uniform in '03. He gives 1/2 that in '09 and this signing is a steal. Agreed.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 01:51 PM) The funniest poster award should just be called "The Critic" award. So technically it will be the second funniest poster,otherwise critic will win every year cause he is the man. I think we have a nomination...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) To be honest. You bring in Freddy and Fatolo and I feel alot more comfortable with the rotation going into next year. If ONE of Colon/Garcia pitches decently we could have a pretty good chance at the division. That.

Just announced on 670 the Sox are looking hard at signing Bartolo Colon as well as Freddy Garcia. Take it for what it's worth. UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that the White Sox and Bartolo Colon have agreed to a 1 year deal pending a physical. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9079312...lon-to-rotation Also, http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jan 14, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) I'm pretty sure he wasn't.

Who cares?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) Some of us really, really wanted to see it sooner, but are in a financial position right now where a $20-$30 trip to the movies is just hard to justify when you can wait 6 months and catch the same thing for $1. But I bet you rented it immediately!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2009 -> 12:00 PM) This is the first time in recent memory that hotel packages were even still available this late. It used to sell out quick. Gotta be the economy.
