I am going to go with Frank Thomas

I am sure he was. BA.com was saying that he had turned down about half a dozen offers of between $1.5 mil and $2 mil for a bonus because he wanted $3 mil. I would bet we passed on him.

Damn we need infield and catching prospects and we take an OF with our first pick. I guess this means we are planning on not having at least one of our OF's back soon.

Who was taken in between? Any of the guys the Sox were looking at?

I am not quite sure what you are saying??? Sorry

according to BA.com the Rays announced that they were going to pick Dmitri Youngs little bro with the first pick.

Yeah I guess I should have specified... Harrington.

I just got back in too. Reading the error message closely is seems like it is a someone is pulling a denial of service attack on the site. Where they flood it with requests to the point where it can't handle it, and the whole site goes down. Anyone know anything???

What time does the draft start, and how long does each team have to pick?

Question for all. When you cut and paste something like that, how do you get it to stay lined up properly? I can never make it work right.

How many drafts has this ass-clown been through now?

One of my personal fav's. Five Chicago sports fans were climbing a mountain one day. Each was a fan of a different Chicago team, and each proclaimed to be the most loyal of all fans to their team. As they climbed higher, they argued as to which one of them was the most loyal of all. They continued to argue all the way up the mountain, and finally as they reached the top, the Blackhawk fan hurled himself off the mountain, "This is for the Hawks!", as he fell to his doom. Not wanting to be outdone, the Bulls fan threw thimself off the mountain, proclaiming, "This is for the greatest team of the 90's!" Seeing this, the Bears fan walked over and shouted, "This is for DA CoACH!", and leapt to his death. The two remaining fans just looked at each other in stunned silence. After a minute, the Sox Fan shouted, "This is for everyone on the south Side!", and pushed the Cubs fan off of the mountain

Hey Win, good luck on your trip! Come back with some good stories!!!

Exactly. The outside clashes so badly. But the pictures and write ups of the interior sounds great. I just want to know what Chicago gets the worst stadiums in pro sports. Wrigley is a urinal, Comiskey although better now, is so plain it is sad, the style of soldier field looks awful, and the United Center is just the indoor version of Comiskey... plain unaestetic, and a lot of seats way far away from the action. For a good hoops arena go to Conseco in Indy.

You didn't miss anything. Wish I had been away for a week

call it what you but Backman wins. Call the Sox what you want, but they keep finding ways to lose. At this point, why not try it?

That was a hilarious thread. Thanks for the laugh :fyou (in honor of Em)

Anyone else have problems logging on to the site this morning? I kept getting a too many connections error. My favorite part of it was the note at the bottom to "apologise" for the inconvienence.

That's ok. I win by default since Alex isn't here. I guess that is like not losing any ground to the Twins because we were rained out

Oh trust me, I wasn't saying that this thread needed to die!

ok so who said it so we know who to lynch........... :fyou thanks for jinxing the season............ Kenny Williams????

This might just be the coolest thread I have ever read. then again some beer, and anything looks better

I dont listen to that crap. I mean, I ask you guys for info on heavy rock metal. You think I listen to no talent punks like Durst? Heck no... Whitesnake anyone ????

Dude, seriously stop it. You are KILLING me. Usually you have to practice to get this good of set ups!

For the 2nd day in a row D'Angelo wins the PTC. Pickers were me, SoxfanBeverly.
