If anyone could post highlights that would be great. I am stuck at work...

Oh no, one of you is going to the mental ward to be strapped into a gurnee... Now I am not going to say which one of you

It was more to protect the owners from their own stupidity, ala Arizona,, than for the players.

Easy there killer

According to Forbes report last year the Sox have a debt level of 12%, FWIW.

Nice to see you back here Rib

"No, now please take off the costume and leave us alone before we contact our lawyers..."

Guys, Brooks Boyer is a god. He knows what he is doing. Actually what we should do is try to get the kids email and invite him to join here as well.

He has a team option for 06.

2003 was $51 million, 2004 was $63 million.

Didn't the Sens file bankruptcy or were about to? I know they were hemoraging cash for a long time.

Buffalo and Ottawa would be the first two places to go. I really doubt they would survive, without help from the NHL.

Gary Carter was the first guy screwed by this. He didn't want to go in as an Expo, and MLB forced him to.

Save it on your computer as a .jpeg, then try downloading it from your computer onto a test thread on this board. Then try adding it as your avy.

It is MLBs choice now. When Steinbrenner offered a former Yankee, who played for other teams as well (I want to say Winfield?) a million dollars to make sure he wore a Yankee hat, Selig stepped in and said that he would decide.

With Jason Grilli, Esteban Loiaza, and Felix Diaz in the rotation, minus Contreras and Garcia.

Except that the doctor didn't work for the Sox...

Because many teams best players never have deferred payments :rolly Besides the Sox final contract offer was for all of the money on time.

5 years $70 million isn't decent?

Well at least you finally figured out the Sox aren't making money...

But don't believe it. Our little trollinista is here to stay I am sure :rolly

Maggs has been "consulting" Borass for a long time now...

They keep trying to. Borass is the one who keeps bringing this stuff up.

No one complains about owner loyalty? There were tons of complaints when lots of players left town. People were pissed off at the way Fisk was treated, people were pissed at the contract Ventura was offered, there was an uproar over the white flag trade, etc. Plenty gets said about owner loyalty. The only reason Maggs is getting crucified over this is because they made a big stink and lied at every stage of these negotiations to do it. Plenty of players have left Chicago and they are still idolized by lots of people. Maggs is about the only one that has achieved this level of dispisement.
