QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) As hard a AROW works... As much as he's busted his ass for years... I don't think he'd risk all that by trying to use steriods... I would bet my last dollar that he's clean... Besides you'd think as naturally strong as he is he'd have more then 9 HR's if he was on something... Aaron is absolutely, positively, 100000% not on steriods.

Here's some waiver info.. Quote: If a player placed on Major League waivers is not claimed by another team during the three business days after waivers have been requested, then the players is said to have "cleared waivers," and the team has secured waivers for the remainder of the waiver period. And what does that mean? Essentially, the team can do with the player's contract as it pleases. This generally means one of three things: (1) They can send him to the minors (subject to his consent, if he's a "Veteran Player," more on that below). (2) They can release him, which makes the player a free agent and thus available to sign with any team. (3) They can trade him to another team, even if the so-called "trading deadline" has passed. Any trades made after July 31 may only involve players who have cleared waivers. If a player doesn't clear waivers -- in other words, if he's claimed by another team or teams -- the club requesting waivers may withdraw the waiver request. If the club doesn't withdraw the waiver request, the player's contract is assigned in the following manner: (A) If only one claim is entered, the player's contract is assigned to that claiming club. (B) If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player. © If clubs in both leagues claim the player, preference shall always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers. Apparently his agent, who states he IS on waivers :rolly , says Griffey has no issues with Chicago but who knows that could just be lip service.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) Steff, bring me back something from Fenway. Dammit, I really wanna see a game there. REALLY. Drove by it a couple of times, but didn't get to go. No problemo.. what do you want? This will be my second time there, but the first was an All Star game so I don't really count that as seeing a game there.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) Duke ... I can very safely tell you that you misinterpreted her remarks. She talked about the size of Yankee Stadium in the context of it holding a lot more people. More people = higher payroll which we all would love to have. As Steff said, she is the last one to b**** about attendance. You have this whole thing wrong, trust me. Actually I just think it would be cool to have 50K fans in one place screaming for the Sox. I am in awe when we go to Bears games. Hell.. I just about peed my pants when we went to the NASCAR race in Joliet.. Holy crap there were a lot of people there. I didn't even think about the fans = $$ thing.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) And by the by if you have a swimming pool in YOUR backyard and someone hops YOUR fence and drowns in YOUR pool YOU are liable for it if you dont have a no trespassing sign posted. Im sure some lawyer could make this a winning case. Even if you DO have a no tresspassing sign you can be sued.. and lose.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:33 PM) This weekends series vs. Boston means precious little, except for a few more games off the schedule. Yes, it will be interesting to see how the White Sox play vs. a very good Boston team but to me that's as far as it goes. So many things can change between now and October and a potential match up. Among them are injuries, personnel changes, momentum, and more. That's exactly what it should be at this point. I'm sure they're looking at it that way also. I can't wait to get out there. I am so excited to see this series in person.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Takes one to know one. I know you are but what am I... :rolly Last time... me.. complain about attendance.. GMAFB.. anyone with half a brain and comprehension skills knows that I am the last person around here to complain about attendance.. And how did saying how cool it would be to have a big park like that become a complaint about attendance..? :headshake :dips***

What a great opportunity... and a great firm for extending it. Congrats!

Thought you were looking into firms in Chicago Jason..?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) In YOUR lifetime you havent seen a base stealer quite like PODS, and we havent seen it on the sox. He has the green light, he will continue to run, the pitchers will continue to throw fastballs and we will continue to win. Henderson...?? Regardless.. is it really necessary to argue this point? It's a difference of opinion. So be it.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:45 PM) I was at soxfest during the Q&A segment. You sounded like you were going to rush the stage and hug him. This after nearly rushing the stage the lynch him the year before. Yikes.. I didn't think I was that filled with KDub love. But hey.. so be it. Woo Hoo!! I called this great year back in February!!!

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Show you where? We kill these bastards and what do you say? You grumble about the size of our park. Youre not worth my time. In all honesty, I'd rather argue about something relevant and meaningful with somebody who doesnt complain after a great win. Like I said.. GMAFB.. I didn't complain about s***. ASSume all you want, you play a good fool.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) This series was a quiz, this weekends series is the real test. Like Gene Honda Civic said. I agree. Tampa Bay kicked the Yanks butts for Pete's sake!! If the Sox can handle Boston at home I will be extremely comfortable with our chances of facing off against them later on.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:34 PM) "They'll be no finger wagging this year..." That part I do remember..

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) at the beginning of the season i said this team was either going to be in first lace or last place, no inbetween. The experiment has seemed to work Jim reminded me this morning that at Sox fest I told Kenny in the Q&A that this team "had me excited" and that I felt this was "our year". I honestly don't remember what I said, other then getting busted for ->

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Apparently he nailed the camera on the net and that's why he was stabilized in a stretcher and such. Just what I heard. From what I remember the camera there is mounted like the one at the cell at the front of the net...? For those that were there, or have been there since '02 can you give a little insight? TIA.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) Is there anything else you want to complain about? You know, this is a 'White Sox Winner' thread not a 'Im gonna complain about our attendance.... again' thread. Show me where the hell I was complaining :dips***. And complaining about attendance...? Me...? GMAFB... :headshake

Hmm.. wonder where my "hot cotts" one went..

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Um, I don't think BB was b****ing, Steff. "Our Park was that big...then they tore it down and built a new one across the street where the closest seat in the upper deck was as far away as the furthest seat in the old park's upper deck." I do.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Our Park was that big...then they tore it down and built a new one across the street where the closest seat in the upper deck was as far away as the furthest seat in the old park's upper deck. [Turns out, having a park that big makes it harder to draw fans to the game, not easier. Ask the Red Sox and Cubs about ticket scarcity and how it helps sell tickets] Waa, waa, waa... :headshake

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) For the split second the dad is on camera, he doesn't seem to care or he didn't notice. Yea.. that's what some co-workers were talking about earlier. Isn't the girl like... 15 looking??

Is this the girl flashing the web cam.. ???
