I just had DBAH0 change the title here for me to find out interest levels. It would almost have to be an early game, maybe 8am or 8:30. And if it works out, this could be a fun thing to do annually. Also if there is legit interest, are we talking about 12" or real Chicago softball? I have stuff to play 12", but nothing to play 16", so if people wanted to do that, we would need someone to bring balls.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 09:07 AM) Where is the s***ty part of downtown Chicago? There are none. Even the neighborhoods next to downtown are all nice now.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:55 AM) Damn. If their beer didn't suck, I'd switch to Coor's today. Molson is also Coors if that suits your tastes better.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) Williams is being charged with murder, as he should be. He took it too far when they ramped up interrogations. Way too far. This is not 'a policy issue' in my opinion. Unless the orders came from someone else, they are doing exactly what they need to be doing.

I do have to say Atlanta>>>>Detroit

Well there you go. When you treat your players and fans like s*** for so long, new players don't want to come here, dispite the money. Imagine that.

Before or after doesn't matter to me honestly. I am just curious if we have 15-20 people who would be interesting in playing from here.

I actually had an idea if there were going to be a bunch of people for a tailgate. We could get there early and see if we can get a softball game together at Armour park. It could be something fun to do annually as a Soxtalk gathering. Thoughts?

Its Deja Vu all over again

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) As a former pitcher (not a good one at that), I can definately tell you there is such thing as a dead arm period. It could of just been because I sucked, but I remember going through a time where you wouldn't have the pop on your fastball (not that I really had much pop) but than you'd kind of get through it and it would come back. I'm sure it happens to big leaguers, but I consider the dead arm solely in regards to the FB, but I guess it could have an effect with your breaking pitches as well. Of course it typically happens during spring training or early in the season or thats when it seems to happen. I also think it shows up a bit later in the season. Having seen your "arm" first hand, all I want to know is if it is possible to get a dead arm when not being a pitcher?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) His ERA is in the high 5's....pass. QUESTION: If Griffey was acquired, why not just put him in the 3 spot and at DH and keep the outfield intact? Answer: That is exactly what we would do.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) Interesting but there is no space for Junior. Unless maybe if we moved Dye to SS and Junior to right and Uribe as backup INF. Anyways I dont got any feelings on Bor for Bor. I wouldnt see either contrubuting that much to the Sox in September and in the playoffs. Griffey would DH and play a little CF.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) Well... Rumor has it that Kabby turned down Tampa. So who does that leave??? This is getting interesting. [creams self]

You all should be ashamed. There is nothing that compares to Texas chili [/story]

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Aw damnit. Prepare for two weeks of: Griffey to the White Sox? Whatever happened to the Griffey deal? Did the Sox claim Griffey? I have an old buddy at Skyline Chili that said a Reds scout was working the Sox minor leagues. Damnit. Damnit. Damnit. Yeah and the posts like We should just package Harris, Borchard, Timo and Kevin Walker for Griffey and Ryan Wagner.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) If Reds management nixed the trade last week, why do you guys think it would go through in the future? Less time to catch flak from the fans in Cincy for the rest of the season. If you throw in the season in August, it looks better than if you throw in the season in July.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) Will someone please come out and say the White Sox will NOT be getting Ken Griffey Jr. to save us from two weeks of absolute message board hell? You had better go hide in the subbasement bomb shelter for a few weeks...

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) The Cub message board may claim him. I bet they'd like his GM style. He'll go unclaimed, trust me, no one wants that contract.
