QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Well one thing we can all agree on: There is never a boring day with Kenny at the helm. Agreed.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) How about this.... we do this trade.... than deal Garland for Blalock and Adrian Gonzalez and than deal Gonzalez, Fields, and another for Crawford. LF:Podsenick CF:Crawford 1B:Konerko DH:Thome RF:Dye 3B:Blalock 2B:Iguchi C:Pieryznski SS:Uribe Starting Rotation:Buehrle, Contreras, Garcia, Vazquez, B-Mac Pass the blunt dude...

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) My ass it's under those conditions. If we're giving up Duque, Young, AND a major league reliever for Vazquez that cash figure better represent a sizable portion of the contract. Or a stud prospect of theirs better be included. f*** this overpaying s***. I'm tired of it. If we're trading Garland, and Blalock (for example) is what we receive, one of their stud pitching prospects are going to be included. I don't care if he's a FA next season. Texas can remain in the perpetual pitching rut unless they accept those conditions. My bad....by ML I meant minor league. Like Baj or Munoz.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) Your 2006 Chicago White Sox: Buerhle Contreras Garcia Vazquez McCarthy Pods CF Crawford LF Thome DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Iguchi 2B Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS Me likey!!! *BONER*

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) What? Patterson's fast, can play center field, and bats lefty. Sounds like a perfect fit to me. AND IF ANYONE'S TAKING ME SERIOUS, SHAME ON THEM! He also strikes out a bajillion times. AND IF ANYONE'S TAKING ME SERIOUS, THEY SHOULD, 'CUZ IT'S TRUE!

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) How about Garland for Corey Patterson? Do you want to get killed? This is a threat.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) I know you're just throwing that out there but then again Scotty in center. But then again, Abreu in left.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:04 AM) Its too bad Edmonds isn't a few years younger cause I'd suggest a deal for him (with one of the starters) cause you know the Cards are looking for pitching. Also, just want to say, doesn't this still leave open the possibility of a Garland for Abreu deal or something along those lines as well (if the Sox wanted to get crazy with payroll). Plus considering they are getting Duque off the books, it wouldn't be a huge increase in Abreu (just saying this name cause everyone's been talking about him over the off-season). I doubt it. I don't think KW is willing to completely redo the 2006 team but Abreu for Garland straight up....I'll give Philly my right nut too.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:02 AM) What do you mean ? As in alongside Vacquez ? As in Duke/Young/ML Reliever for Vazquez + Cash.

We have lost: Haigwood, Gonzalez, Young 3 quality prospects... We have gained: Thome, Vazquez

I just don't get the deal. The rotation was set, even if just for 2006. I think it would have been better to stay put but more pitching is more pitching. I have faith in deals that KW makes and I have faith in Ozzie/Coop.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) You can about finalize this deal--MLB is reporting it on their main page. Goodbye Duque, Young--and soon, Garland. Duque/Young for Vazquez.....I kinda like it. Better than Garland for Vazquez IMO. Pretty much a done deal....

El Duque and Young I would consider/probably do. Garland for Vazuez = No Thanks.

I dislike it.

I have now decided to also get a memory upgrade from 512 Mb to 1.5 GB by adding a 1 GB PC2100 DDR DIMM Memory Chip so, yeah.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) After reading that article on the official site, I think it's a matter of when, not if, either Garland or Contreras gets traded. I would put the percentage at about 95 pct likely Garland goes, and I think it will happen within the next 10 days. ...which makes me want to barf an cry at the same time.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) Not to highjack the thread, but does Grandstand change the lettering on jerseys? I want my Shingo jersye changed to a PK jersey and need to know where I can get it an how much it will cost. Pretty please?

I just don't like the deal at all. I am weary of trading Garland. Think about what happened to PK before last season. They had a deal but he declined because he wanted to test the free-agent waters. Nothing was said during the season. We win the WS and he re-signs without a hitch. Hopefully the case is the same with Garland.

Nobody knows???

And I firmly believe KW will be smart enough to turn down any kind of deal that doesnt benefit the team. Last time we almost traded Garland, it worked out well.

I do not want Vazquez...thats what that means.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) What the hell is even the point in buying these seats? Where could you put them in your house that they wouldnt look out of place... not 2 mention it isnt like they are super comfortable either. It would definitely compliment a White Sox shrine room or someone who has a blue room.

No Vazquez....period. Unless he comes fro Timo/Borch/Willie.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) The aftermath.... Holy s***....who cleaned up the s***stains?
