He is banned from international play for two years, and his penalty from MLB? Nothing. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=1707589

What does Center Ice cost?

I am going to say 76-86 and 3rd place.

Since there isn't anything else to do today... If no major changes take place during the rest of the off season, what will the White Sox record be in 2004?

So my question is, do we spend all year adding to this thread, or do we start a whole new one?

I gotta imagine that Trump wouldn't get into baseball just to make money. With his ego he would be looking to kick Steinbrenner and everyone else's asses. The payroll where ever he takes over would have to go up. And you have got to imagine that an underutilized team like the Sox would be a great target for an investor. He could buy this team and have it worth $500 million in a few years.

Yankees $849 million http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2003/0428/mlb.html Mets $498 million http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2003/0428/mlb_2.html

According to that same Forbes article the NY teams were #1 and #2 in most value in baseball at about $850 million and $450 million respectively.

2003 Forbes estimate on the value of the Sox is $233 million so a year later plus owning controling interest, $250 isn't a crazy number. http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2003/0428/mlb_18.html

Actually the Sox estimated value is right about $250 million. Not that it will ever happen mind you.

Well we have settle all of the inner-fights before we even get to the WSI-WC-AOL-ESPN-MLB fights

The Knicks are firing Chaney and hiring Mike Frattello. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3950929/

What are you talking about... you get a extra "a" in your waaaaaaaaaaay back, old man

And you want to be my whipping boy

Tearing tickets at a movie theater?

*Sigh* I am used to it... Is it the strip search, AGAIN?

Yeah, it shouldn't be too bad then. Just a guess, but I would bet ELo will be among the hardest to get this year, just based on the year he had last year, and the fact he has never been to a Soxfest. But that is just a guess.

Frank and Maggs are the hardest. Their lines fill up way before they start signing. you have to get their early for them. Everyone else isn't too bad.

Here is one I just learned... Contango- It is a spread on the london metals exchange that is inverted.
