Damn someone finally took 23 , Dye better fill those shoes well

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) Things have gotten awful quiet. My guess is the Sox are close to adding another infielder. I bet it happens by Wednesday. My gut tells me it will be Iguchi, but it may just be Cora. And the fact that KW hasn't said he is done, tells me he is up to something. We might just have a Soxfest announcement after all.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) You'd think it would have some positive impact in that regard. Maybe as the snow melts in the elevations, that will be a gradual and effective addition to the water supply. Where is our resident expert when you need him?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 03:41 AM) I know this is too much water, too fast, but from I understand the resevoirs out west have had critically low volume levels. Is this helping that situation much, or is it all just wasted run-off water? At worst I gotta imagine it is refilling some lakes and the underground watertable right?

Oh yeah, more people who haven't realized their 15 mintues are up yet...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 07:02 AM) Nuke, Star Wars insn't real either, and there wasn't really a Napolean Dynamite. Movies can be fiction. Godfather was a great movie by most peoples standards. Was the intent of the film to glorify or demonize organized crime? If it was to demonize, would the film then suck because it had the opposite effect? Notice it wasn't nominated as a documentary. This movie was not a journalistic or historical portrayal. Just like Rush is entertainent and doesn't have to stick to facts, either do the movies. Major Payne didn't ride in and save that Military Academy and Bill Murray wasn't in the Army. Did I miss George Lucas trying to influence an election with a movie? Was Major Payne a documentary? Sorry the comparision is weak at best.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) It's a well known fact that Lee's value was high enough to fetch a #1 or #2 pitcher for the CWS. This was written up by Gammons himself. Think about that in terms of what we got for him. As someone said above Lee's value was higher than that of Koney's. So if this was a salary dump why not Koney over Lee? Look at all our 2B options we are discussing now. Any one of those players would have been thrown in with a relief pitcher & a PTBNL for Lee. That was likely the starting price for Lee. For less than the $9 million that we are putting out in payroll for the guys we have now? And then who would be our C, RP, and LF that would be filling those rolls?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) Johnson wanted to go to New York. New Yorkers can be pushy. New York media takes pushiness to a new level. Enjoy NY, Johnson. I was just thinking I wonder if he is regretting not going to Chicago or somewhere quieter than NY.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) Shouldn't capitalists believe that the market should determine the cost? After all, lawyers are just working hard to make theirs, why should anyone control that? And afterall dollar vote is the truest measure of freedom of speech...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) Jesus a lot of people hate Tex. I mean can you blame them? In all seriousness, I love the idea of this feature. That way if someone is really annoying, a person can't complain anymore. They have the option of taking matters into their own hands.

Congrats Gold, if you have any questions, just PM me!

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) IMO Willie would excel in the 9 hole and hit .290+ this year with an OBP over .350. I'd have him hitting well over .300 but he has to face lefties sometime... He'll face a lot of lefties hitting either 9 or 2 in the line up because of SPod being a lefty. A manager can bring in a lefty, and he will face back to back lefties either at 9&1 or 1&2 in the line up depending on where Harris hit. It makes using a relief pitcher easier to use if you can have him face two hitters instead of one. And since the Sox lacked LH hitting so badly last year, there wasn't many situational lefties used against the Sox.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) I'd actually take Pudge, my being a moron duly noted I think anyone would. The point is more for the big city columnist who has to show his inferiority complex by pointing out that AJP isn't IRod. Funny I didn't see him mention that Troy Percival isn't Eric Gagne either?

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Won't let it die? They did...on Friday! You bring it back up on Monday afternoon. Just saying. I owe you one... make that two

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) its a nice feeling when you go to a game and expect the bulls to win So you know what that means... Bulls will choke tonight.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) Can bleeding heart liberals get their own group too? Think up a good title....

Now prosecuters want to introduce testimony from 7 other boys who claim to have had run ins with MJ. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=399203&page=1

QUOTE(babybearhater @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) For some reason, even thought I dont like him, I think that Willie may succeed better with this lineup around him. I dont think he felt natural in the lead off role, and I think with some more players around him, and another season, he may improve on not only his base stealing, but his hitting as well. his defense, as far as I am concerned, is good enough if not better than most of the guys out there. Lets see what this lineup will get us There will definately be a lot less pressure on him to succeed if he goes into the season hitting 9th instead of first, if the Sox cannot aquire another 2B.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) I want to be part of the "wing nuts" All righty, you are added... Anyone else? Like I said to Mreye, let me know if you have anything odd about your account or its functionality.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) Looks good as far as I can see. I guess you guys are good for something. Its hard to be a commie full time...

Nice
