We are already past $70 million in payroll today.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) LOL.. For the record I don't "hate" him. Maybe he's thinking... "s***.. maybe Steff was right.. maybe they brought this guy in cause I act like an asshole in the clubhouse and towards my teammates and I better change my attitude a bit..." Nah he's thinking... "Where are those cool fans who do the MVP chant when I get a hit?"

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) Look, If we all want to resign Frank for 10mil and now Pauly for 10 mil that is 2/7 of our payroll tied up into 2 guys.. DOes that make sense? You guys can't have both IMO, esp if we keep payroll at where it is at. So come July time, if Thomas is healthy and can play the field, trade Pauly for some propects and move on from there. Frank hasn't been healthy enough to play the field in 5 years. Everytime he gets out there now, he manages to hurt himself. If you keep Frank, you still need a 1B.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) I seriously think he could be looking at about $10 million a season or there abouts (take or give a couple of mill), especially if he has another great season this year. It'd probably be in the Sox's interests to lock him up during the season, as other teams will definitely come calling for him in free agency (Yankees, Mets, Rangers etc.) After seeing what the HR hitters went for in the off season, $10 mil doesn't look that either. I would just hate to see it come down to a choice between Frank and Pauly. All though with Everett under contract for only one more year, that does give them a position to play with.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 07:48 AM) Yep, and if I remember the commuter rails in Chicago: a double bonus because of the free entertainment. The South Shore isn't nearly as entertaining as say the Red Line. Mostly tourists going into the big city for the day with their spoiled brat kids. I don't get half the stories that you do

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 07:45 AM) Thank God I live next to a bus line. It makes my $215 train pass feel like a bargain.

I'll say this now. If crude is at $51 in Feb, expect to be paying $2.50-$3.00 per gallon for gas after Memorial Day. The writing is on the wall.

I have no problem with a 3 year $25 million deal.

Wow. That'll make you think.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 03:21 AM) If this is more than a 1 year deal, I am so pissed at Parcells right now. In the NFL, it doesn't matter.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 02:48 AM) His overall defense has improved I think. The only area lacking is the rebounding. Why is it so difficult for him? Because you have to work and think to rebound.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) If gordon keeps doing what he is doing. Can you still sit him? Unless he learns how to defend PGs in the NBA, yes. Ben looks like he is going to be able to play a Vinnie Johnson type roll in the NBA and that is fine by me. The guy is instant offense. Hopefully in his maturation, Skiles can imbed some defensive principles and techniques in him, then Ben will get 40 minutes a night.

The Euro, pound, and just about everything else are nearing highs as well...

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) All Hinrich had to do was throw the ball at the rim and time probably would of ran out. Instead it is a shot clock violation. They needed to get the ball to Gordon there... even if he doesn't hit a shot, the attention he would get should have taken some pressure off of someone to get open.

f***

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) I just got home. How much were they down by? They were down 7 with about 3 to go. Gordon hits back to back 3s to get them from down 4 to up 2.

BEN f***ING GORDON

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 06:33 PM) I telefiled my taxes today--how long should it be before I get my direct-deposit refund? They almost always come on a Monday and the IRS saids 8-15 days, so I would say either the 7th or 14th of March.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 22, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) I drink so much pop you would all be sick. Around 5-6 cans of Cherry Coke a day. I used to be in that same bracket. I averaged about 100 oz of Coke a day back in the day. And I was 5'8" 120 lbs all through college. But that was back when I would run a cross country practice, and go play two hours of basketball in the same day. Not to mention whip Kap's ass in one on one full court
