Wooo hooo.. another waiver wire thread.

Nope.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) Hmm, also heard Harry today, either Teinowitz reads this board or s*** is about to go down, I cant wait til Friday! They closed the show with it also - confirming that they were told 2 players, 1 NL and 1 AL who's teams would be in the playoffs if the season ended today - tested positive.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) :headshake What a f***ing joke. They need to be f***ing embarrassed by their bulls*** effort. I'm sure they are. And I'm sure they are getting their asses chewed up and spit out.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) What the f*** are we doing? LMAO greasy.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) Not because they lost 4 in a row, they just suck Baltimore beat them tonight so now they've also lost 5 in a row.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) Ok in your original post you had me with a quote above and comments below. Apologies. I assumed that people were aware of who was calling people ignorant and liars.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Not that she can't (or won't) say this herself, but just in case she's given up on this forum -- she wasn't talking about you. Thanks jackie.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:42 PM) Steff.... do not know what you are talking about, where i ever said anything about Levine's a liar or Griffey never on waivers this is news to me, think you are getting a little confused and completely hysterical as you would say! The fact that you didn't say it or no nothing of what I was talking about might be a good clue I wasn't talking to or about you.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 05:15 PM) As it is essential to the KGJ trade & will place greater pressure on the White Sox if he were to publish it I will send him an e-mail & ask him to weigh in on callups that signed ml deals or were governed by ml contracts. The rules concerning waivers are plain as day in black in white. You have posted 4 different variations of them in the past 3 days - after you called Bruce Levine a liar and that Griffey was NOT on waivers - to support whichever bulls*** you are spewing at that time. You have sliced and diced them to no end. And even still when confronted with questions that don't support up your crap (several unanswered questions in all 6 of the Griffey threads) you respond by calling people ignorant. After people post their opinions on the trade.. you call them ignorant. After people comment on the Reds comment that they are not trading him.. you call them ignorant. And after I post this - from a reputable source - you call me ignorant. Is it really necessary to contact Starck..? This nationally published articles aren't enough, right..? Just cut to the chase and call him ignorant. At least be consistant.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Can you explain why? I thought anybody on the 40-man roster is forced to clear waivers after July 31? 3E8.. you are so ignorant.. Don't ask questions. Juggs is the knower of all where waivers are concerned.

So why don't you shoot him an email and let him know how ignorant he is on the rules rather than acting like a grade A asshole around here and calling everyone else ignorant when they are not the makers of the rules but not so ignorant as to not read as much information as they can to learn about the process. Ignorant... irony.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) Harry from M,J, & H just mentioned that he's recieced a report that 2 big names are about to go down, but "he's not running with it" Eh.. they're probably just talking out of their asses. :rolly

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) Like I said, I wasn't really paying attention... I could have sworn they said Blum at some point though I think they did.. I didn't hear Gooch's name though.

I believe Pablo is playing and leading off...

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...yson&id=1860265 Know your waiver rules By Jayson Stark ESPN.com Archive Related Video: A's and Angels prepared to continue battle Warning from the surgeon general: Trying to make sense of baseball's waiver system can be hazardous to your mental health. There are all kinds of waivers for all different occasions. But essentially, here is how waiver deals can be made between Aug. 1 and the Aug. 31 deadline for setting potential playoff rosters: Virtually every player in the major leagues will be placed on waivers this month, whether a team intends to trade that player or not. If nothing else, the sheer volume of names can at least disguise players whom clubs do want to sneak through so they can be dealt. If a player isn't claimed by any team in either league, he can be traded until the end of the month to anyone. If a player is claimed, but only by one team, the player can be traded only to the team that claims him. If a player is claimed by more than one team, the club with the worst record in that player's league gets priority -- and the player can be traded only to that team. If a player is claimed only by teams in the other league, the club with the worst record in the other league gets priority -- and the player can be traded just to that team. If a deal can't be worked out or the team doesn't want to trade that player, he can be pulled back off waivers once in August. If he is placed on waivers again before September, he can't be recalled a second time. Or, if a team is just hoping to dump a player's salary, it can simply allow a team which claimed that player to have him for a small waiver fee. If that happens, the team that gets the player has to pay his entire salary. That's how the Yankees were stuck with Jose Canseco and the Padres were stuck with Randy Myers in recent years: They claimed those players, thinking they were just blocking other teams from getting them. Instead, their old clubs said: "You claimed him. You got him." In the past, many teams claimed players just to keep them from being traded to contenders with a better record. This year, that isn't expected to happen as often, because most teams can't afford to get stuck with a big contract if they're awarded a player they really didn't want.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) I posted it a while ago, but the thread was closed and I haven't yet been given an answer on whether or not I would be able to post the link again. PM me if anyone would like to see the HBO piece. No one wants to see that stupid HBO special..

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) He doesnt have to say the exact words I knew they would win all the way just by the way he talks and how he says it makes u think he knew all along we would be good if you didnt read his columns b4 the season started. Mighty big assumption there... and if that's your stance then maybe don't post bs as fact.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Not sure how much inside steroid information is given to MLB alumni A lot. And I didn't spread anything about their personal conversation.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) No, I was honestly thanking you. Oh whew... It's hard to tell sometimes. I'm just so used to getting the whip.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Sweet, thanks for making my story hold more water I didn't mean it like that.. sorry. Peace.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 03:04 PM) All the rumors I've heard (from Red Sox fans and in Boston) say that Kapler took the time in Japan to clean out his system. Every single Boston fan I know, which excludes redandwhite apparently, believed Kapler was on steroids. Being a "gym rat" is absolutely no defense against steroids. You have to work out to get the results, and the more you work out, the better the results. A former Sox player who went to Japan to play for a while told me that this is common practice. I have no idea on Kapler though.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) I would be very surprised if this wasn't someone talking out their butt. This information is VERY closely held by the Commissioner's Office and doubt it would get out, especially after the Palmeiro situation. I'd consider someone on the MLBPA Board a good source..

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Don't let her version fool you. They are professional stalkers. Jim was escorted off the course after trying to pull Fergie's putter. Ask Steff about the Neal Cotts restraining order. LMAO!!! I just had a conversation about that RO. Actually.. Jimmy Wynn was Jim's partner in the 4 some but after they all sit around and bulls*** and complain about how much $$ they didn't make
