We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Friday nite. Very, very cool now. WAY better than the original.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) I agree with you entirely, it's about a lot more than outing a single agent. And it carries through to all the families that are exposed now as well that are shielded from having ties to the operatives for a reason. The bit from The Note just has me concerned that there is maneuvering room for Rove's lawyars. There are enough legal holes to drive a truck through unfortunately. Just as usual, it depends on what your definition of "is" is. Instead the only people who are going to win are going to be the lawyers.

Ah yes, the beautiful smell of desparation

We can only hope this isn't a publicity stunt.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 10:34 AM) ive been at the last two sox-indians games (last-last night and last night), and i have noticed a huge dip in morale. coming into the first game, cleveland radio was talking about sweeping us. last night after the 7-1 drumming, they were crying the blues so bad and declaring their season dead and rotting. and fans talked a ton more s*** to me last night for wearing my big hurt jersey than they did the night before. everyone is pissed in cleveland! I was just surprised to see that people went to the game threre.... I thought their bandwagon was empty.

New updates from the Trib... 34,000 for a Wednesday Tigers game??? Wow!

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) As the Cubs stand now they are a money making machine for the Tribune, there's no way they sell them. In fact I wouldn't be suprised that if the Cubs fail to make the post-season this year the higher ups in the Tribune Tower make the Cubs cut payroll, since they still will draw huge attendance with a .500 ball-club Various radio talk shows have discussed this scenario as this is really a make or break year for the Cubs as far as payroll goes, if they fail it will be a youth movement next year, that's one of reasons speculated why their GM is unwilling to get rid of young talent, he knows he might need some of it soon. Don't look now, but the Cubs are in a great position for 2006. They have a $100 million payroll now, and over $20 million coming off of the books.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) That play is one more example of how far we have a horseshoe shoved up our collective ass. Its not luck, its hustle. If Aaron half asses it, the play doesn't get made. That is the difference.

QUOTE(thelatinoheat_30 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) great comeback. NOT. has no point to it. And your think about liking old men did? Give it up.

Just to show how little we know about forecasting Hurricane's look at all of the different projected paths by all of the different computer forecasting models.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) Mine was almost 20K. Friggin Cocaine. Helluva Drug Who knew plushies ate so much??? We did ours for about 5k, and then my inlaws bought the alcohol

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Don't play this game with me. Mark B., Arow, Frank and Joe Crede are the only four players drafted by us that are on the major league roster right now. My point was our success rate of call ups has been much worse than our free agent and trade acquisitions. I don't need a White Sox history lesson on who came up in our system. Simply put, I'm at the point now where if we can pull a trade for a proven major leaguer for someone on the farm, we do it...that is all. How is our success rate when compared to other teams? How many teams have a ton of their players who are drafted, developed, and play with their respective teams at the major league level?

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) Wouldn't you rather put that towards a down payment on a house? I mean it may be just me but there are other things I can use 10 grand for especially as a newlywed. I am sure if they have 10k to waste on this, they aren't really worried about a downpayment for a house.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) Find me some relievers ( can you find any left handed?) that over the last three and a half years ( time marte has been with the sox) has an era of 2.57 and held both lefties and right handers to a .201 baa. Have fun. Thank you.

A little more national exposure

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) See the yellow line as it moves inland? I'm about halfway from the symbol and the cost directly on the yellow line. I am about 50 miles from Brownsville. The biggest worries I will have are torrential rains and tornadoes that will spin off the hurricane. Well, that and my ability to log in and post I may have to call Kap and have him read me all the threads. It is a little scary looking at the map and seeing a straight line to my house. I guess paybacks are hell for my how many times FlaSoxxJim was going to get hit thread So you are still in the Harligen Valley? I was down through there as a kid on a vacation. We basically went beach hopping all of the way down from Matagorda Island off of Victoria Texas where my Grandpa lived, all of the way down to S Padre and into Matamoros. I loved it down there.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) When I was talking to Tex, I told him that you KNOW the Sox are going to win it this year. You know why? Because that baby's coming during game 6 or 7 of the World Series and you're gonna miss it. So, in the baby pool, I want the date for game 6. All I can say is TV in the delivery room, if not I have my am walkman...

QUOTE(Finkelstein @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) I would rather keeps Cotts than Marte. That brings back some memories... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=19297&hl=cotts http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=19762&hl=cotts and my personal favorite... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...=32235&hl=cotts

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Alright, this is a stupid question, but is it Beckett or Burnett who gets freakin blisters every other game? Beckett is the blisters. Burnett is the bad elbow.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) Tony wants to know how you guys pee They don't pee... they tinkle

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) It sure looks that way. He's about where the TS inland logo is. Personally, I'm hoping it will curve north. There's a weak low pressure sitting over southwestern Texas that might spin it north... It'll take more than a weak low to move it. Hurricane's make their own weather by and large. Heck even the remnants of Dennis did their own thing up here, even moving east for a while.
