QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) I don't know enough about Iguchi to have an opinion on a three year deal, but AJP is worth $3million a year. It seems like everytime the Sox are mentioned in conjunction with a player, it never happens... I guess it is back to under the radar for us.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Sosa worshipping, homosexual, s*** eating ass clown is the best description of Mariotti I ever heard but I'll settle for yours. Except you left out "no talent"

I don't see why Terrell won't be back in 2005. He has a one year deal at just under $1 million, so it isn't like they will save any money by cutting him, and there isn't any long term cap savings because he only has the one year deal. Maybe he will be traded, but cut? I doubt it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 02:32 AM) Junior Mints are f***ing amazing with runners in scoring position. And they play a much better OF than Timo does.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 08:26 AM) I'm not saying that. I do feel there are WAY too many unanswered questions. We need to write the History Channel and tell them to put together a Consipacy? on this

QUOTE(lvjeremylv @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) We got Scott Podsednik, Luis Vizcaino, and freed up the money to sign Orlando Hernandez. Even if Hernandez may not be healthy for the whole season, I'll most definitely take those 3 players over Carlos Lee. Really it is SPod, Vizcaino, Hernandez, and the two million dollars we still have not spent, which could turn into AJP, Iguchi, or someone else still. This trade is still being finished IMO.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 03:36 AM) Oh I disagree. I remember getting into several discussions where I had to back up ARow. Most people were ready to dump him for little or nothing. I also happen to agree with Rex. I felt Arow was would be a damn good ballplayer, but never predicted greatness for him. Oh believe me there were plenty of "dorn" converstations, and people ready to trade him for the first thing to come along.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) This will be my first SoxFest, but I'm not going until Sunday. Do the players that are listed to be there appear on all 3 days? No they don't. Usually they appear for a couple of hours, for a limited amount of autographs twice a weekend.

Happy Birthday man!!!

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) That is spectacular. This thread had me ROTFLMFAO

Happy Birthday Heather, we have seen way too little of you around here lately!!!!

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 4, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) United Nations is guily of undermining itself. I don't blame Bush for attempting to assemble an independent coalition. After the Oil for Food Scandal, I'd question UN methods of distributing 350 million. And that's just the US donation. The world government pledges are at $2 billion now.

BTW this is the other thread that was referred to earlier. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...1&st=&p=entry

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) Did you ever think that the Pentagon didn't get as much coverage because they didn't think 25,000 people initially were killed there? Or that it is a military base, and they couldn't get close enough to get any good pictures like NY or PA?

The festivus episode would be my favorite if you MADE me choose. There are so many great ones it is hard to say.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) But I have to do it right before nominations, huh? Texsox for Conservative thought over me? I guess I don't where my debate hat as much since cw has been gone. I gotta say I laughed at that one. I think some people didn't get the saracasm of most of Tex's posts...

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Another year and no nominations! :banghead :finger A point of advice, trying saying something funny or intelligent next year, and you might get some nominations... :finger

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) Where is this place? If you follow one of the tunnels out of the Hyatt into the ajoining building, its in there.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah they sold the rights to the Skyway for 100 years. They are going up to $2.50 real soon if they didn't already. But then they are locked in there for a long time. They have a schedule that saids when they can raise tolls and by how much they can do it. Here's a good link http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsnews/057nd3.htm

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) Delaware Turnpike is the worst for tolls. Leaving Jersey over the Del Memorial Bridge is a 3 dollar toll. After ten miles in Delaware, its another 2 dollars to get the privilege of entering Maryland. Didn't Chicago lease out the Skyway to some company for like a billion dollars last year? And doesn't that mean the tolls are supposed to stay the same through the end of next year guaranteed? Yeah they sold the rights to the Skyway for 100 years. They are going up to $2.50 real soon if they didn't already. But then they are locked in there for a long time. They have a schedule that saids when they can raise tolls and by how much they can do it.

Good job MoS. You didn't disappoint

Congratulations to you and the mrs.
