QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) I think he meant Huff and Lugo. Either way, I don't want Lugo booting the ball everyday for the sox. Let them take Willie too s***. BTW, who is that in your avy. I've always wanted to ask...

Best to the family....

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) I've been collecting for over 20 years, I know what I am talking about. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/co_displays/...2276284,00.html Vintage rookie cards become less valuable if they are autographed. They cease being in mint condition when they are. Well, thats the 1st time I've heard this. It still doesn't matter because I had about 5 or 6 guys tell me how much the card was worth and they were all in the same range. That is very interesting though knighti, great find!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) I hope so. Like I said in a thread a while back, I forget where, but it seems outside of White Sox fandom, Frank's just a 50/50 at even being there. This from an ESPN.com poll: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation...g?event_id=1506 Wow! Jim Edmonds and Omar Vizquel got no love on that poll.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) No sideburns? I tried that look, and, well, let's just say it didn't fit.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) Aren't you brownish? Mmmm, no.

Jenks = UN-f***ING-TOUCHABLE Everyone else....bye bye although I would prefer to add Young and Gio to that list seen above.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) Jose Valentin's son is named Yomar. He's no longer on the team, but that still intrigues me. Carlos Lee's brother is named Carlos Lee....not related to Man Soo Lee.

QUOTE(RyGuy22 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) I agree that the addition of Huff and Baez would be a great step in putting the Sox over the top. Baez would be a great arm in the bullpen, not necessarily a closer for the Sox. Huff would add a much needed bat to a lineup that can be far too inconsistent at times. He would be able to take upon much of the DH role and allow for starters such as Crede, Dye, and Everett to get rest without losing pop in the lineup. IMO right now, when the starters are rested, the lineup suffers too much with Perez, Ozuna, and Harris filling in. And the Sox also have no depth in the outfield where Huff could fill in as well. As far as the postseason goes, a guy like Huff would give the Sox another guy who would be able to drive in runs...which should be a concern at this point for the Sox. The pitching is there and an addition like Baez would only strengthen the bullpen as long as we did not rely on him to close games. And Huff would deepen a lineup of so called "no names" to give them the ability to drive in runs all the way through the lineup. Agreed 100%. Welcome to SoxTalk!!!!!!

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) Did you know Joe Crede has no middle name? True story. Thats 3 things me and him have in common... 1) No middle name 2) Both play 3rd base 3) Both are white That's all I got.

White Sox Avenue Street sign. That and a ballaoutographed by the entire 2004 WS....

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Jose Cruz Jr. from D-backs to Red Sox for 2 minor leaguers. :headshake LMFAO! What will the Red Sox do with him????

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) i mean from a Postseason team to a team that will deep into the playoffs. How much of an impact do you think he would make in the playoffs because the Sox are pretty much in right now. Do not fail to forget how Baez also improves the team. Huff and Baez turn this team into a deep-playoff team IMO.

I just found out about this and it is horrible. Luckily, my dog never barks but even if she did, I wouldn't do such a cruel thing! But, there is a way to de-bark a dog without hurting it. They simply give the dog anastescia (sp) then poke holes in the dog's voice pipe. The surgery doesn't completely stop them from barking but instead, it makes it less loud. I still wouldn't do either.

QUOTE(56789 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) No i bought the game so i dont think its a virus with that at least. My uncle works with my dad and does all of the companys computer s*** and he usually looks at peoples computers when they have problems with them, but then ill have to wait until monday to find out and wont get it fixed till HOPEFULLY tuesday or wednesday Eh, sucks for you. I'm just joshin' ya!

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) well then why dont we just call shingo up Because Shingo doesn't have a 1.80 ERA and convert 96% of save chances?

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) They said on BBTN that Manny did'nt want to play because of boo birds. What a f***ing cry-baby. "Waaaaaaah, I make 20 million a year but I have no provacy, waaaah!" :finger Manny

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) After watching the brilliant minds of ESPN's Baseball Tonight, I really, really, really think Kenny is going to land both Baez and Huff. Now, I'm not even going to b**** this time; and I'll tell you why. 1) Not only will Huff be able to come in and provide some MUCH needed offense in this, our best shot at a WS in the forseeable future; but, the guy will be under contract and will allow Konerko to pack his bags this off-season. I REPEAT: Huff, if acquired, would be the everyday starting 1B for the 2006 Chicago White Sox...no need to find Konerko's replacement--he'd already be on the roster. 2) F*ck it. Trade McCarthy. Hell, if it takes McCarthy AND Chris Young, I'd have to think long and hard about it. Looking at LaMaar's past moves, it will take nothing short of McCarthy and another HIGH prospect or two to get this thing done. 3) Baez comes in and replaces Vizcaino on the depth chart. Translation: improved bullpen with another closer possibilty 4) Huff could come in and friggin dominate in USCF. Spelling both Konerko and Crede, Huff would get a TON of AB's and I think he'd become a fan favorite in no time. 5) If acquired, Huff would probably spell the end of Ross Gload with the 05' Sox...sorry Timo-haters. 6) As far as the other rumors--i.e. Burnett, Guardado--nothing doing. Seriously. It appears the best shot Kenny has to put new players on the roster would come from Tampa Bay...if it means overpaying to make a big deadline splash...go for it. ...um...I guess that's it for now. 1.) 2.) I'd be willing to trade just about any of out Minor Leaguer's to improve the team. 3.) 4.) But don't forget Dye. He can play RF too. 5.) Meh 6.) Agreed Excellent -- excellent post!

QUOTE(SoxPhan7 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) I havnt bought a pack of cards in years but after reading this thread it made me a little interested today so i bought a pack at the gas station while filling up the tank. And low and be hold I pulled out a Ben Sheets Jersey card. Best card i ever got. Nice find. Usually every pack has at least 1 good card in it. Even if it is only a 10 card pack.
