Basically everyone except the Avs and Wings are in standstill mode. The whole NHL knows they are going on strike and that is all there is to it.

Without being a free agent Mark Buehrle has zero leverage. Colon could (and did) sign with another team, Mark is stuck here until 2006. At worst he can make us go to arbitration for 3 straight years. Either way we could technically NEVER negotiate with him, and just submit a figure to the arbitor each year, and never have to worry about it. And there is not a damn thing Mark could do about it.

Preach it brother

If MB asked for a record contract based on his numbers, Mark Buehrle would be the only one losing credibility. At that point JR could justifiably tell Mark to stick it, and most fans WOULD understand. The is a BIG difference between asking for what is fair (which IMO is what MB got) and a record contract.

Dude, don't go threatening people.

Tough love? Why would MB demand a record contract for someone at that stage of his career? That makes no sense to want the team to wrap up twice as much money in one player

He would not have gotten anything close to that because he has no free agent standing at all. Until he goes through his arbit years, he has no real leverage.

One of the best White Sox specific books ever "Through Hope and Despair: A Fan's Memories of the Chicago White Sox 1967-1997" by Dan Helpingstine http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/097...1289570-1384158

Tight money this year but, a couple of books so far... Chicken Soup for the Teachers Soul The Kama Sutra with pop up pictures Trying to also find a good broadway type show in Chicago, but they all aren't what Ang would want, or they are already sold out.

Spamming is a crime? Damn Be Good is a fugative now:lol:

My predicition for today? I will get really, really drunk and people will buy me stuff...

Damn they still haven't posted my points from Friday... LETS GO!

Not that the Hawks have any key injuries or anything. That was the one thing that was annoying about the national broadcast was the constant whining and feeling sorry for the poor beat up Detroit Red Wings :puke LOOK ACROSS THE ICE AT THE OTHER BENCH!!!

Are we limiting the nominating process to one name per person per category? Because I have a whole slew of nominees!

YOu forgot LaPorte Co is on CHicago time also... BTW after knowing a state senator very well while I was in college, the other big lobby that makes sure we never go onto Daylight Savings is the Farmers.

famous last words

He made HUGE money over the past 5 years. I know he made over $15 mil last year... maybe he has more brains then we will ever know

The are always the premature bashers

That is a couple of grudges

As a matter of a fact, since 1999 NO team has put up more points against Detroit than the Chicago Blackhawks... If we could only play the Wings every game we would win it all

That's a big blow. Who runs the point now? does Dee Brown slide over or is it someone else?

It must be rough to be so narrow minded and not be able to appreciate imagination intertwined with the world around you. Escape from the drudgery that is Beastly...

Damn I went to bed when Detroit tied it
