QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) That translator is politically incorrect. It keeps calling the other Sox the "Lead" Socks. As slow as they were the Lead Socks might not be that bad of a discription...

I liked it better 20 years ago when it was called "strange brew"

Hopefully that poor girl is OK, and that gunshot wound was from her.

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 12:21 AM) I'm in total agreement here. I loved the early '90s pinstriped unis with no names. I still have my Ventura 23 with no name on the back. It is my favorite jersey I own.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 08:02 AM) I don't have a problem with College players not getting paid. I have a problem with schools who rake in tons of cash, exploiting them to cash in even more. (Mich, ND football - MSU, Duke, IU basketball...) That's exactly how I feel. And then on top of it, the NCAA restricts their movement and ability to work.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) I'm assuming if we got this deal done, payroll would be at about $75 million right? $73ish IIRC.

Al Qaeda was just an example. Iran has had their own group of clerics stirring the pot ever since the Revolution in 1979. It isn't that big of a stretch to imagine groups of the same breed operating in Iran. They have had the same religious upbringings in the madrasses, they have had the same America=Satan lessons, they have watched the horrors of Iraq on Al Jazzera, there is plenty of hate there to fuel these kind of groups. And they don't have to be government sponsored or condoned. As long as the clerics in charge of purity approve, the government is impotent to stop them.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Dates aside, which I didn't know off the top of my head, Capone didn't have a son named Minoso. I looked up the dates.... But I did know in the back of my head that Capone was dead before Minnie came around, but I thought it was more like 10 years apart. But I have no idea what his kids were named...

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Get it done KW Welcome to Soxtalk

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) That's my thinking too. If KW's smart, he'll put in a team option for 2007 at about $4 million, which could be a bargain if Iguchi really hits well here. Throw in a buyout for 07 and it looks just like a Rick Hahn contract.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) My favorite call was when he repeated himself over and over at Soxfest. :rolly 242 home runs....

QUOTE(bogie @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) Not true. He was Sox fan. He named one of his kids Minoso after Minnie. Um, just a little history lesson... Al Capone died in 1947. Minnie Minoso made his ML debut in August of 1949.

If that's true, this deal will get done pretty quickly.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) I found this gem: soxfeelgood's blog That's as good of a reason as any to look into what your kid is doing on the internet. Or another good reason to beat your kids...

Welcome to Soxtalk

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) There we go. So true

Wino with all due respect, on your middle point you are thinking too much like an American. We don't comprehend suicide missions the same way that Muslims do. It didn't matter to Bin Laden that he he was going to risk his organization and his safety to strike at the US, and it isn't that hard to envision either Al Qaeda or another splinter group of its ilk putting a dirty bomb into a cargo ship and sailing it right into NY or Chicago or LA or anywhere else, and blowing it up. Iran has already labeled us the great Satan for 25 years now, all it takes is one group who has taken a lifetime of this information to get the motivation and financing to pull off an operation like this. And you know as well as I do how s***ty our security is at certian facilities. I honestly don't think the fundimentalists are as sane as you give them credit for.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) Ok, Buehrle has piled up some innings. So, what is more risky? A guy who has broken down like Kerry Wood or one that has proven he eat up some innings like Buehrle? There can be a case made both ways, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty .... We don't know what's going to happen. It's all part of the game. Mark doesn't scare me nearly as much as an El Duque or Contreras. Mark has no "bad" pitches for his arm. He doesn't throw a heavy slider or screwball or heavy curveball that torques wrist shoulder and/or elbows.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) Aboz, I saw you like a million times, basically every autograph line I was in you were there too and then I saw you during a couple of the seminars also. Anyways I wanted to say hi just really didn't know how. Hopefully they'll be some soxtalk tailgates this year where I can meet up with you guys. Just a guess here... but I think there will be tailgates for Openning day (which I can't go to ), the Saturday Dodgers game, and at least one Cubs game.

Happy Birthday Big Man!!!

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) The worst thing about this thread is that its eating my brain. I walked up to my boss at work today and told her about Grimace's extra arms and shake stealing ways in a completely unsolicited way today. I also gave her my old record copy of "The Partidge Family Album." Which makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with me in the first place. I would refer you to exhibit A, your signature...

I thought this thead would be about Tex

Did they need the jaws of life to open her hips up enough to get that baby out?
