Carl needs a day off, seriously. His head is all messed up right now. And I am not usually one to talk about benching people. 4-0 Sox after 3 innings of play.

PAULY DOES YARD WORK!!!! Think a monkey was lifted off of the Sox back or something?

Working the right side, beautiful Aaron, beautiful.

That was a beautiful imitation of Ichiro by Pods.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Probably better off buying gas producers like Chesapeake and EnCana. Im happy with my halliburton as of late but those 2 are rocking a lot more. I doubt the prices of those stocks has gone up 250% over about 2 years. The energy futures is where it is at.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) And yet all we have heard out of the Sox players is how they b**** about attendance.......... Win, and they will come. To be fair, all that has been published is how the Sox b**** about attendance. Do you think anyone asked about attendance last night so that the Sox could say how much it helped? And if they did, did anyone care enough to publish it? I doubt it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) This is way out of my knowledge area, so permit me to ask a couple questions. The purpose of a blind trust is to negate the possibility of the Senator having an unfair advantage in the market, because of possible laws that may be enacted or investigations he would be privy to. The Trust company is then protecting the public from a potential abuse of power. Now I can see why they would have a legal and moral responsibility. I am assuming that the trustees are allowed to use their knowledge to buy and sell holdings held in trust. If I have read and understood this correctly, the owner of the trust is allowed to offer directions like "sell all my holdings in XYZ Corp.", because he knew he had them before his holding went into a blind trust. He would not be allowed to know how much he had at that moment, or the purchase price. He would not be allowed to order a purchase of XYZ Corp. because he would then know what was in his blind trust. Correct? Another assumption is once a year he would see any gains or losses that would impact his income tax return. Correct? So at some point the veil is lifted? Frist's violation would be in obtaining any insider information, not in directing the trustee to sell his stock. The trustee's violation would be in sharing with Frist the amount of stock he owned? A key difference in the after hours trading is it allowed those traders to know results before making the transaction. Problems in Tokyo? Make a trade. Big, big difference. Having tomorrow's newspaper when investing is a big difference from knowing what you own and asking it be sold. Trusts are supposed to go a level beyond that even. I don't think anyone is supposed to have knowledge of what they own in trust, but I am not sure how it works for a family holding. Most blind trusts don't allow ANY knowledge of what they own, just for the conflict of interest reason. That is why Cheney liquidated his Haliburton position before assuming VP. As I understand blind trusts they are to be completely independant of any influence by the owner. That's what makes it a blind trust. There are regular trust accounts for those who want info and influence.

for Hermanson. Hopefully the whole f***ing team was listening to him last night, because that was the best TEAM effort I have seen in a while. Guys were bunting, hitting the other ways, and trying to move runners along. Only a week more to go guys...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) He is pitching at that caliber right now. The Angels used a young gun in KRod to be the closer in the playoffs in HIS rookie year. I say, why not? Big BIG difference needing 3 outs, vs starting a game. Also I think you are forgetting that Rodriquez did NOT close in the 2002 playoffs, and Percival did as Percy registered 7 saves to K-Rods zero. So now we have gone from comparing set up men to game two starters... Put Brandon in the pen as a reliever. So far he hasn't looked bad coming out of the pen, and you get can get him some valuable learning experience for the future, but you don't take a care with

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 05:39 PM) If that Crede homer didn't lift them, I don't know what can. Read between the lines there. It isn't about swinging for the fences, that is the problem. We need to get this team stringing together hits, so that they don't feel they have to swing for the fences w RISP. Put continual pressure on a team, instead of one swing and done.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) Were any laws violated by the Trust Company in giving him the info? It seems that the burden is on Frist. The Trust company is violating ethical standards, Frist may have broken the law. law>>ethics (although it would be nice if they were the same) I don't think requesting info into a blind trust would be nearly as big of a legal problem as a company who trades blind trusts, giving one trader an advantage over the rest of their customers. They had the same type of problems a couple of years ago with certian mutal fund traders getting to trade after hours, while regular guys were not able to, and they paid fines in the $100 million+ range for it. This amounts to the samething, with certian people getting an illegal advantage over someone else, but doing something that is expressly forbidden in the type of account they have, but only because the trust company was willing to give it to them. If Frist had requested information, and the trust had refused to give it to them, this would have never happened. This is actually remarkably similar to Hillary's insider trading at the MERC that got poo-pooped under by Janet Reno as well.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) Harrellson said that the Sox are now 5-13 in those 18 games. I knew they were bad with a full house, but I thought it was a little better than that. I think it has more to do with who we play those days vs how many are in the stands. How many sellouts have we had against KC, Detroit, etc, and how many did we have against the Yankees, Red Sox, etc? It isn't the attendance at all.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 24, 2005 -> 08:04 PM) Going back to the seat issue, they already took out close to, if not more than 4000 seats of the UD, and those were seats not often used. The first 7 or 8 rows of the bleachers are always sold, Boston or KC. Just based on that alone would make it next to never that they will move the fences back. We lost about 8000 seats with the rennovation. They aren't going to make the park any smaller, so this isn't going to happen now.

What is interesting is I have yet to see ANY articles talking about anyone charging the Trust company with a complete violation of their charter and ethics. It seems like everyone is so worried about nabbing the big fish that they are completely ignoring the biggest violators. Frist might have asked for the information, but a much bigger act is the company actually giving it to him.

Beat me to 32 : Happy Birthday Kiddo, and here is to what you really want for your birthday... 11 more wins starting October 4th

A wire story about the guy behind this site

LMAO, well everyone wanted Everett out of the 3 spot Just another case of be careful what you wish for

With the kind of slump this team is in, it is the kind of thing where one big basehit breaks open the floodgates. Someone just needs to try to go back through the middle or the other way, instead of trying to hit one to Fundementals. If they can get a lead early, maybe we will actually see this team relax and not to try to do too much. To me that is all this slump is. The first four months when the Sox were winning everyone was content in their roll and wasn't trying to do anything more than they were asked. Now everyone is trying to win every game on one pitch, one throw, one swing. They need to stay within themselves and play the way that got them this far in the first place.

This thread is going no where good, its over. Let it go.
