From the Trib

For the proverbial PTBNL, the Colorado Rockies sent ex-Twin Michael Restovich to the Pittsburgh Pirates. On the surface, I think that would dimish their interest in Joe Borchard.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) Yes I agree, and would further guess they've got their 1st rounder pretty well narrowed down by now. Another area of concern, as you mentioned is 1B. Not only for depth, but also for an impact type guy. A pure hitter with power ... we do not have much of that in the system either, Fields notwithstanding. And we are looking at needing a 1B possibly in the very near future with Frank and Pauly both possibly out the door in 06. Are there any big bopper type 1B's out there that could be up the Sox alley?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) I've had 17 people contact me. I want to send this thing out by the end of May. Again, if you want your name in this, PM or E-mail me. Hey Alex, I have a couple of PMs for you as well... Let me know before you send it, and I will send you a list all together.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) When you are faced with an important high school exam the next morning, but you stay awake until 1:30 AM with a transistor radio under your pillow in hopes of hearing Bill Melton hit a 4th homer during a west coast game. And, oh yea ... to YASNY and southsider2k5 - I've got a siamese cat named Mikita. I have two sister cats named Maggs and Robin... and we had one named Crash after Arow.

This was the line that blew my mind. Basically because Hitler was elected, Germans had no rights not to be killed.

Its funny, because its true

To borrow a phrase... wow. just wow. http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/na...lnews-headlines

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) ...and both of their right arms will be in lovely glass display cases in one of the concession shops by September... No green need there... Zambrano is next on the Dusty hitlist.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) This should be Hawk's return to the booth..... Thank God!!! There was potential there, especially for Robin, but they are nothing compared to the Hawkeroo!!!

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) Thanks 2K5, that was more of the point I was making. Also, the more people that are at the park, the less the attendance talk is an issue. Would rather hear about the team, than the attendance. Preach on brother!

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Is there an article anywhere that says Ozzie wants to bring Tony to the Sox? This is what was in the Trib today...

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws This organization really makes me proud to be a Sox fan.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) Supposedly 29K+ for tomorrow night and 33K+ for Saturday (can't find a # for Sunday yet)... if it's anywhere near Fri & Sat then we'll hit 120K for the series easy. Wow, those are way up from yesterday. During the broadcast they said Friday was at 26.5k and Saturday was at 30.5k. If we get anykind of weather, we might be looking at a sell out or two.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) I agree, they were supposedly looking at the Long Beach SS. You can bet on one thing. Whoever they are hoping to draft, they are already talking to them about a price.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) im at 200 south wacker!!! I will walk over there for sure. I walk past your building daily. I am on Jackson past Union Station.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 12, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) There are 26K+ tickets sold for today... not "good" enough for you..? As of the start of the game yesterday John and Ed said there were 107,000 tickets sold for the whole series. I do understand what he is saying though, it would be nice to push that to about 120,000 for the series and average 30K for the long weekend. Every seat we can sell now, is money towards a deal line deal, or a payroll increase in 2k6.

QUOTE(beck72 @ May 12, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) Is the '15 day DL' the shortest stint someone can go on? I'm thinking yes but does anyone else know for certain. At the major league level, yes it is. But they are allowed to make that date retroactive to the last time a player played. In the minors they do have a 7 day DL.
