QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) Welcome to the site. Folks, this is a man to be respected. Long time Sox fan from before most of us were born. Retired, and served our country. Was even a Chicago Cardinals football fan if I recall correctly. Knowledgeable guy and a good addition. Good to hear it! Thanks for the info Jim, and welcome to Soxtalk Rudy!!!

There is nothing listed at all in minorleaguebaseball.com

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 08:14 AM) FLINTSTONES ARE 'WAY TOO GAY' Group Seeks Ban on Cartoon, Cereal, Vitamins The ongoing campaign against alleged gay icons in animated cartoons continued today as a newly formed conservative group demanded that television stations stop broadcasting “The Flintstones” at once. Harland Devane, leader of the group Focus on the Flintstones, said at a press conference in Washington, D.C. today that his organization was issuing the demand because, “Quite simply, everything about ‘The Flintstones’ is way too gay.” http://www.borowitzreport.com/ :headshake

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Any good tips SS?? hehe Yeah, don't try to beat the market. Mimic what the money-makers do. Remember all of this s*** is a zero sum game. If someone is making money, someone else is losing it. And if you think you are going to outdo the professionals, you are insane.

Happy Birthday you plushie little dude. You are without a doubt one of the funniest guys (are plushies male and female?) on here!!!

Wow do I feel old...

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) What’s wrong with your job? All you have to do is make 38.3 posts per day. That's part of the problem. I hate being slow at work. Plus the pay sucks, and there is no incentive for preformance. Actually with the bonus structure there is more incentive NOT to work.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) What you can't seem to get through that hard head of yours.. is that Belle's contract was insured SEVEN years ago. As a result of them getting hosed on that deal is has become increasingly harder and more expensive to insure contracts. And what else you're missing is the COST to the Orioles of the policy. It cost $17 million a year to insure Albert.. and at the time HE COULD STILL PLAY 100%. Maggs hasn't proven that he can jump rope... yet you think he's easily insurable.. LMAO.. Did the Sox call Geico? they could save 15% or more on insurance...

0 ... Now I am ready to be a Chicago cabbie

Well after all was said and done, 4 people never did respond to emails about their wristbands, so I did what Steff did and put them on Ebay with anything over the $2 price going to Sox charities. Here is the listing... happy bidding! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MESE:IT

I have been giving a lot of thought to that samething lately. I have basically been looking for a new job for 3 years now, but there is just nothing in the field.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Why you gotta make a Michael Jackson reference? This thread was going along fine and you gotta make a Jacko reference. For shame. Isn't a Michael Jackson reference appropriate in a thread about creepy cartoon character pitchmen?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Good call, I hate that baby. I think it's f***ed up when they have babies talk and s*** and Bob is hitting on some girl which is just weird. But that is perfectly normal at the Neverland Ranch...

I can't help it I am helplessly in love with that damned Prawn! hahahaha Maybe inanimate objects are her genre? ANything I have seen her do with real people made me want to :puke

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) The Sox would not have to risk 12M. On a contract that small they could easily take out insurance against it. The insurance probably drives the cost up to 14-15M but if Maggs can't play than the Sox only lose about 1/3rd of that. I'm sure Det has done just that for the first yr. Insurance against a preexsisting condition?
