QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) Mike, you better reply before this gets out of hand. All I have to say is while you all were getting your cheap laughs, I was getting Mikes for lunch, so the last laugh belongs me, YES ME!!! But I will say, great thread, LMFAO!!!!

I got it , but I am coin collector so I inspect all of my pocketchange

You're Vietnam! After years of muddling through on your own, you've finally repaired yourself to a point of respectability. You would have been much better off had people you didn't like not kept insisting on spending so much time with you. But those times are fading quickly and these days you're pretty sure you won't get burned. Star power!

I love lots of the minor league hockey jersey's. They have lots of great logos and such.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 09:14 AM) IF there were to be a suprise signing announcement during Soxfest, would it be at the start, or during the KW Q&A part? It would be at the very beginning, during the openning ceremonies... that is if the deal is done by Friday.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) I'm not sure if this counts (because I don't watch ER so i'm not sure if it's the season premier or not) but i've seen the commercial for that killing off Abby episode like 10 times. I don't get why they have to be so dramatic about killing off a character. I mean why can't she just keel over like everybody else. As I recall most character deaths have been pretty big on ER. They had a whole hour episode when Dr Green died.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 08:58 AM) In a heartbeat I would. Then sign Scott Williamanson to go in the pen.. Williamson might miss all of 2005 with a significant arm injury.

Happy Birthday!!!

Unless the price for Vazquez has plunged, I have no interest in him anymore. The team we have is solid, and we don't need another questionable high priced long term deal on this team.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 08:39 AM) Now using more stats there, explain to us fellow SoxTalk users how that will impact on ........ oh I dunno make something up and relate it to the Sox somehow. All I know, is I would love to see one of our resident math nerds do some chi-squared functions on half of these statistics to blow relevance out of the water.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 08:08 AM) Probably not. If we win the World Series in 4 games it may quiet a critic or two . . . Are you kidding me? That Critic guy never quits b****ing!

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) I'm all for Iguchi. Everything that I've been able to find about him makes him seem like a solid number 2 hitter. Here are some quotes from onedog31 on the Whitesox.com offical message board. He says he lives in Japan. His comments sum up the opinions I've been able to find. Also the move is good for the Asian market: I'd love the Sox to get Iguchi for 2b and Cora for Utility. That is a great insight. The other thing an Iguchi signing could achieve is to open the pipeline to other Japanese players to consider the southside as a destination. I know they have the big named pitcher that is rumored to want to come here in 2006. If he had a couple of countrymen here already, it could fasicilitate acclimation to a team. Which might make his price a little less to come to the Sox.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) Kapkomet has a 3.7 win share of replying once again to this thread, with a 2.5 win share of using the same smilie, which is greater than WHarris1's of 1.7. Gene Honda Civic gave up 10 posts today, which is less than the season average of Chisoxfn's regularity of a spelling or grammar mistake of 15.5, while the odds of Southsider2k5 spamming have increased from the following season of 29.5. Correction 29.5-1

Nolan Ryan was definately the man you didn't f*** with

The one move the Bulls need to make, is to get a big 2 guard to play defense at the end of games. Gordon/Hinrich/Duhon are all too small.

I agree 100%. The only way I will go to an NHL game in the near future is if it is free. And it doesn't matter when they come back from the strike, or whose fault it is. I hope all of the owners go bankrupt.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Wiscy wins their 37th straight home game; the game went kind of flat in the 2nd half. UW wins 72-66. Wilkinson almost single handedly won that game for them. He was a monster.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) I've run out of rage. So are you no longer a rat in a cage?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) What time is check-in on friday? Also, what are some of you guys bring with to have autographed? Check in time is 3pm, but if your room is ready, sometimes they will let you check in earlier. If not you can leave your baggage with the bellhop and check in later.

Note for anyone else who is interested me potentially picking up these bracelets. A got a lot of PMs from people who are interested, and I don't know if there is a limit on how many I can pick up. So I PMd everyone who contacted me, and told them what number they are on the list. I will do everything I can to get them, but if I can only get so many, I will get in the order that people replied to me. If anyone else is interested, they can still PM me and I will add them to the list, but just know ahead of time I have no idea what to expect. I should be able to get a bunch, as I will be there all weekend, and I will be with my wife, so she can buy some for you all as well. Like I said, if anyone else wants in or out, just PM me

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) It tracks mouse clicks. After 30 minutes of zero activity it takes you off the list. So each time you hit refresh you should be #1 on the list because you had the most recent click. It isn't just being logged in. I learned that from Southsider and Kap, they're my heroes If you had been paying attention, you'd know it was only 15 minutes

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 05:28 PM) It's a good thing it's not: Hitting with Joe Borchard Fielding with Carl Everett We'd have one school year's worth of crap-ass players. Actually I saw Joe Borchard's hitting clinic two or three years ago, and it was easily the best clinic I have ever seen. He has so much technical knowledge of a baseball swing, the mechanics that go into it, and historical references for who taught what methods. It was really impressive. You can tell he was a Stanford boy, and not somebody who went to college just to play sports.

I am already picking them up for Greasy, if anyone else wants to arrange something send me a PM. I am thinking for $3, I'll buy the bracelet and mail them to whoever wants them? How does that sound? If you are interested, PM me. If there is interest, I can set up my paypal for payments or you guys can mail me a money order or something

Did they do away with the Saturday nite family party? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
