I would imagine at least Ilya is playing in Europe. Last I saw a touch over 200 players have gone over there, or about 1/3 of the NHL.

That was just brutal to watch today. Oh well, just one game closer to the #1 draft pick

If you ask me (and no one did) the Red Sox have had the look of a beaten team since game one. Almost like they know that they can't be the Yankees in the playoffs, and as soon as the Yankees got ahead early, it was over.

You do realize that the Pentagon is the spy capital of the world, right? Did you expect guided tours? Of course you aren't going to get all kinds of pictures. Any kind of information leaks could endanger lives and projects all over the world.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. The destruction of another generation is taking place in front of our very eyes. And the world humanitarian and political structure lets out a collective :sleep It is so sad.

They had to put screws in his elbow to stabalize it.

Nope the all-star game determines home field...

Yeah... But I can remember the George Brett era

Welcome to Soxtalk!!!

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writ.../02/hombre.rix/ Yeah I spelled it wrong... but Rix was 0-5 against the Canes in his career. He lost all 4 regular games, and a bowl game vs Miami. This was a write up from before this years game, which made him 0-5.

Lotta Sox fans period. I have never made reservations this early, and I have always got the regular two night rate of $239. This is going to cost an extra $40.

Maybe now that Ricks can't go 0-6, they can beat Miami next year...

I've seen better pitching in my slow pitch softball league

As a matter of a fact ticket prices have increased about 40% since 1999, according to the same web site. 1999 average ticket price $15.04 2004 average ticket price $21.56

um 5 years ago is the late 90's dude. Look down this page there is an XLS chart of all baseball teams payroll since 1977. 1999 the Sox payroll was about $25 million 2000 the Sox payroll was about $35 million 2004 the Sox payroll was about $65 million all according to the same site. So according to that math, ticket prices had to go up by 250ish% to match the payroll increases. At worst ticket prices have about doubled (or a 100% gain) since that time. http://roadsidephotos.com/baseball/data.htm

Yes, good call. I knew there was someone else I couldn't remember. Weaver refused to sign with us too.

Update. They are out of the cheapest rooms for the two night package. The two nights start at $15 a night more now. Damn that filled up fast.

I think it is probably more than that also. And still no front page news. There are headlines for Iraq, and suicide bombings/ excursions in Israel, but at least 70,000 people dead in genocide is worth nothing.

Its nice to see Kris is on the comeback trail. If he could get it together, it would give us another arm that is closer to the majors.

Something to do with their contract offer vs other teams... I can't remember the details now, I just remember the dirty pool.

I would go back and look at the Sox payroll in the late 90's and today, and try that statement again.

Bobby Hill was one. Borass pulled a stunt to get top pick Bobby Seay declared a free agent. He also lied to him while we were making a run at ARod. I know there are others I can't recall right now.

Exactly. The man lies to teams about other "offers" he has ala ARod. What makes you think he is telling the truth here when it comes to a clients value? Answer, he isn't. How come Maggs story has changed for a 3rd time now? Like I said at the beginning of all of this, if he was healthy all he has to do it invite the media to a practice. And he still hasn't done it. GMAFB Borass.

Personally I think neither of them should be shown. I think they are both blatantly partisian attempt to grab cheap votes at the end of a nasty election cycle. If people really want to know what is going on they should try to do some research instead of watching a movie that could influence their opinion while ignorant of anything else. And it would be just like Americans to have that happen. This is a country that has people like Mancow and Rush telling them what think, and not seeing a problem with that.
