QUOTE(go-sox05 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) nobody asked his old ass anyways. Uh.. yea they did.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:56 AM) Carl Everett would be my first choice, that dude is hilarious. AJ would be on my list to as from the sounds of it, he has the same cynical sense of humor that I do. Also meeting any of the Soxtalk guys for a beer would be cool as hell. (Baj, Bull, Bmac, Cotts) You already drank with him.. you should pick someone you haven't had beers with.

I agree with him. I think the WC is stupid. Especially 2 weeks before the season starts. If it must be done it should be done in November.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:14 AM) Is this the best day of your life steff?? No more willie Naaa... not even in the top 100. I wish he was different than what he was.. I really do. Live and learn. Hopefully it wont hurt us in then end like I feared it would.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) My wedding dress arrived today woohoo lol. Wooo Hooo QP!!! Congrats!!!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) Willie's been playing with his head up his ass, because he's been afraid he'd get sent down. If he can't handle that kind of pressure, I don't want him around for the stretch run. YAS.. his head is up his ass because he thinks he's all that! He THINKS he's the best out there.. he THINKS he belongs there.. he THINKS he will not get sent down. He doesn't think about getting sent down... Wille only thinks about Willie. Plain and simple.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) I am not trying to pile on Willie (I hate him) but I do continue to feel we gave him many chances. KW for years has been telling sox fans and the press how Willie is going to be a star. Well, here is another failed young prospect (I realize he was not ours to begin with). Willie is done playing for the Sox barring injury and quite frankly will be nothing more than a back up 2baseman or 25th man. Great Potential but as we know Joe Borchard had great potential as well. He should have listened to Baltimore.. and if not them.. then the fans who told him at Soxfest TWO years ago this guy was going to be a bust.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:08 AM) 5 years?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) I hope that KW has a 3 year deal in his back pocket for our MVP. Oh hell no.. Willie aint worth anywhere near that!!

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) Pretty big motivation to change one's behavior I would say. He is a very sarcastic person. Not knocking it, just saying it. Several guys have said so. The Twins clubhouse knew him, they grew up with him, they understood him and it was basically, "well, that's AJ". He fit in as was accepted and he played his ass off up there. His persona didn't fit well in SF for whatever reason. KW said he talked to AJ and they discussed AJ needing to change his behavior. AJ did, it's all good now. Back when the AJ talk was going on I called Ray immediately.. he said there were never any issues and that one of the main reasons he didn't get along was because he is a straight shooter. Tells you like it is without consequence.. but tactfully. Ray and him talked a lot because of Ray playing here and AJ with the Twins, but Ray said a lot of what happened was blown way out of proportion. He also said AJ was a huge fan of kangaroo court.. something San Fran did not actively participate in for whatever reason, and that rubbed a few guys the wrong way. Also remember folks.. Barry runs that clubhouse. I got that from both Sid and Ray. It's kind of like how Willie came in and rocked the boat.. you don't do that to the vets. Doesn't matter now. He's here and that's that. Their loss.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I haven't driven in the city yet, but i heard Friday that cops were just all over the place issuing tickets for using your cell phone without a headset. They were. Jim was on his using the speaker.. that was more distracting than his normal talking on it.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) Uncalled for? I took your word on Rowand. I'm just saying there is a reason to be suspicious when that type of thing happens. I just agreed with ya. You said one thing, yet took another shot. If you knew 1/10th of the personal issues that have happened in his life you would be ashamed of yourself for even thinking it. I'm probably over-reacting.. but I don't care.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) Dear Mr. TheHammer, Thanks. Signed, Douche P.S. - Chubby face and body with a lot of power plus high endurance (much higher than any other contestant ever) plus 500 foot bombs equal suspicion in my book. P.P.S - The accusations against Rowand aren't all that unfair at all. He's a solid piece of muscle, has a break out year, and then his power is suddenly gone. That, my friend, will draw suspicion to just about any athlete. Thankfully those that count know why. Douche... I'll agree with ya, that fits.

QUOTE(TheHammer @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I also find it moronic to speculate that any player who seems to have a lot of strength is on steroids. I hear people talk like you can't be ripped and you cant have a lot of muscle mass unless you are on steroids. Also, that you can't go from a skinny guy to a muscular one without roids, why lunacy. So no one works hard? Not one guy just lifts weights? EVERYONE is a juicer? Yes.. you can go from a skinny guy to a muscular one WITHOUT roids.. however.. you can not increase your skull size by just lifing weights. Mark already ADMITTED he took Andro which IS a precurser to roids. I have no problem calling him a roid user. The shoe fits him perfectly. And Giambi ADMITTED something to a grand jury.. I have a feeling it wasn't that he likes Apple Pie.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) i've heard worse from steff You mean better, don't you..

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) Ah, but Giambi was also mushy big. It all depends on the way you use the steroid. Giambi's case was gross misuse and overuse of the drug. He was..??? Giambi's arms, legs, and stomach were rock hard and his face turned into a pumpkin shape. Bobby is fat. In ST he was even a bit jiggly. The guy, IMO, from seeing him up close is just a monster, much like Frank. Frank when he didn't work out got "jiggly" but didn't "shrink" like Sosa and Mark have.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) Did you see Sammy when he got called up? He was scrawny. Same with Mark. Both of them were tiny runts. Their roid use is obvious. Bobby is mushy big. If he's on roids.. he better get a refund cause they aint working. IMO.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) I've had my doubts about Rowand since last year when he broke out. I also suspected Maggs while he was here, and I heard stories that kept me thinking. And Uribe comes to mind, but that could be skewed by his ridiculous tomahawk swing. Without posting personal information I can tell you without a doubt Aaron has never juiced. I heard rumors about Maggs his entire time here. No idea about Juan. And Frank absolutely never juiced. A medical issue in his family where he donated bone marrow would have not been possible if he juiced.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) The pussing is over, for a couple of days I had gauze taped to my shoulder and back because it was just gross. I should have gone to the doctor. There's some scabbing. Fortunately this round is a lot better than when the first set blistered and peeled. If it's still a problem after this layer is gone I'm definitely going to the doctor. Thanks for the advice Steff. I usually don't burn this badly, my skin is getting more sensetive as I get older I think. . . If you aren't raw anymore (LMAO as I am typing this) Noxzema is awesome at retaining moisture. If you can handle the smell slap some on and wear a kind of tight fitting t-shirt. I don't know why Aloe is so popular.. imo it makes it worse because it's drying. Maybe that's just to me though. I haven't burned like that in a good 15 years. I remember it though. Sucks..

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) It's horrible! And I was even wearing sunblock. I've been putting aloe on every 5 minutes, and still it's all gross. . . This is gross.. but there isn't any pussing is there..? Or scabbing? If there is you might want to head to a dermatologist and get something stronger to keep the moisture in there. You'll keep peeling unless you stay moist enough (can't wait to see the peanut gallery comments on that one.. LOL).

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) slim pickings . although steff by herself makes up for the low female population . Queen, Soxy and Laura help..

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) I'm thinking of doing a TWins game...If I recall this, isn't he going ot watch the yankees? Yea, it's with the Yanks.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) I was on the field during batting practice last year (I won it in a charity auction. looks like I got screwed on the price. Oh Well. ). That was awesome. We got there really early before the park opened, so the Sox were still taking batting practice. We were standing right next to the dugout, and whenever the players were done with their batting set they came over. They were all really cool, I think only the guys in the last group blew us off because they had to get going. I got a ball signed by Maggs, a pennant from Carlos, plus pictures with a lot of them. We also met Ozzie, KW, and the Hawk. Hawk was awesome, we asked him why he doesn't say "Grab some bench" as much anymore, and he said, "Well, normally when I say that I don't like the son of a b****" . My only complaint was that we didn't get to meet the pitchers. They're always in the bullpen early and don't always stop by the dugout apparently. However, I thought it was a blast, and well worth $300 a person. Jim's doing this on 8/19.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) No no, you bought the last package LMAO..
