Tigers #1,3,7,11 Prospects it took for that deal.....and 5 pitchers? or was it 4, either way, ouch.

I think the number of disillusioned ChiSox fans grows exponentially daily..... What exactly is the answer to this teams woes right now? Prae tell!! We have more than one hole that could be filled by Cabrera, thats for damn sure. Trading away the little bit of 'talent' in our system we have left, including Danks, for 2 years of Miggy isn't exactly the answer to lifes problems.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 06:29 PM) I would take signing Jones over trading some ridiculous package for Cabrera, but if it was for the package mentioned...well, that would have been fine by me... Hmm, I'm starting to think that 2 years of Andruw > outlandish package of prospects that we are already thin on for Cabrera. Don't get me wrong, I want Miggy, but I want a farm system too.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 06:21 PM) It could well be great for them winning another title. But it's certainly no guarantee like so many people here seem to think it is. Why is it that if the White Sox acquired D-Train for 1/2 of its farm system, we'd have people whining about how KW acquired a pitcher near FA who put up a >5 ERA last year in the weak NL, but this Tigers team is going to dominate with him!!! Congratulations Balta!! You have just achieved your SoxTalk.com degree!! Another graduate that sees the delusional masses on here.

GREAT move by KW....I keep waiting to hear we had to throw something else in, hopefully it won't happen. Buying a guy at his lowest cost, way to go KW!

Let the "soandso coach is off to LSU for sure!!!" rumors begin.... I don't see Miles as such a 'great' grab myself. LSU had amazing talent this year, and never looked like a dominating team as the year went on. But hey, I guess Michigan is happy with Miles. Tenuta, OTOH, is a great grab.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) Agreed. Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace was decent, but I think their earlier stuff was better. Its one that you definately have to listen to multiple times before you really feel its vibe, but personally I REALLY like it. "Let It Die" was a personal favorite right away, I love the change in tone as the song progresses. You also have to remember, or if you didn't know, E,S,P & G was written all in 1 week, the week following Dave Grohl's divorce. You can definately sense that in the lyrics when you listen to it a few times through.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Nov 22, 2007 -> 03:30 AM) Since when do the sox overPAY this type of money to get someone, period. I know we have seen some bloated relievers contracts like Baez, Walker, Spier, etc....but wtf are we giving this guy anything over 2 years 5 MIL for????b You DO remember the Masset/Aardsma/Sisco/MacDougal bullpen experiment of 2007 right? That 'pen that couldn't do anything right.....KW is as irritated with that failure as any of us are, except that he has the ability to try and fix it. Linebrink has been one of those guys he has salivated over, and yeah we probably overpaid a bit to get him, but alas, we have no proper in house solutions for '08.

Gavin is definately not hurting for himself, I'm sure. Plus it helps to make your money in the UK right now, with the exchange rate and all... I think its: 1 million US dollars = 47 pence UK or something close to that.

Oh sweet, sweet day of redemption!

Its a crap return for Garland, plain and simple. No one is going to argue that. But I'm pretty sure we all hope to god its the precursor for a real move that was needed to clear money....

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 12:17 PM) To me all this trade does is raise more questions as to how the team will ultimately look. More will happen, this is just a start and I will reserve some judgement until the picture becomes clearer. However I agree with most of the sentiment here, it would've been nice to get more for Garland. It will be interesting to read Williams' comments on this move. No no, didn't you know that any trade this team makes is supposed to fill EVERY hole on the team? If we trade for someone, its supposed to be a leadoff centerfielder who is the #5 guy in the pitching rotation that plays second base, and often comes in to setup Jenks or do general bullpen work!! If this is the only move we make, then sure, we all have things to piss and moan about. But lets wait to see the overall picture here...

I get the feeling Cabrera or Uribe is playing second this year coming... I don't mind the deal so much honestly, Cabrera can give us what we need, a real #2 hitter. Garland was gone either way soon enough, and as long as the money saved from Garland + the money from the Angels is turned into something else for us, I don't mind.

And, not to mention, isn't it 2 people playing that track in Real Life? This is one guy absolutely obliterating his fingers I'm sure.

Honestly, I was all happy to get "Prayer of the Refugee" by Rise Against, even though I suck ass at playing it still. I love me some "My Name is Jonas" though, it will be one I play often.

Yes on medium. I'm no great Guitar Hero player, but I don't usually have any problem with any medium songs. That one is tough at any level.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Oct 29, 2007 -> 10:09 AM) they put dragonforce in the game? i saw some hacked GH2 vids of dragonforce songs and they were pretty nutz Man, that Dragonforce song is absolutely ridiculous to play at the end. I probably was lucky to hit 60% of the notes.

Beat GH3 on Medium, I enjoyed it. Its catching A LOT of flak because I guess people hate change, but the Battle modes to me are real fun. You could really hear the Rage/Audioslave sound in the Morello battle. As for The Devil Went Down to Georgia.....wow.....I thought my hand was going to fall off after playing that, AND Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce right after it.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Oct 26, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) I also noticed this statement from the Herald: So Pods, Uribe, and possibly Erstad gone? Wow, wouldn't that be nice. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=63462 For the love of all that is humanly holy and righteous....Make that SO!!!

QUOTE(farmteam @ Oct 23, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) I have a dumb xbox 360 question...I know originally that there was the Core for $300 and the Premium (I think that's what it was called; it was the one everyone bought because it came with more stuff you'd buy anyway) for $400. Can someone tell me how much a Premium is now? Or rather, if the Premium is marketed under a different name? I don't think it's the Elite, that's something else. Man, I haven't felt so out of touch with Technology in awhile. Its still the Premium. Now there is "Xbox Arcade" which has a wireless controller, HDMI cable, but no HD, Premium, Elite which both should have HDMI cables now, and I'm guessing the Core is still sold out there as well.

CoD4 is going to be great, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna enjoy getting knived by 12 year olds online anymore. That just frustrates the piss outta me.

That was flat out embarassing. I knew our offense sucked, but 4 turnovers, 5 False Starts on the O Line, and 1-10 on 3rd Downs, against Vandy? At home? Embarassing.

I never thought the outcome would be any different. I figured this was the game that USF would lose. Works for me, another team ahead of us that loses, but I don't see anyone else above us losing this week sadly, and I hope like hell that we focus on Vandy right now as well.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 03:57 PM) The SEC is a superior league due to the low academic standards leaguewide at the schools, and the Big 10 has it's problems due to the high academic standards leaguewide at the schools. I thought everybody knew this, they don't call the SEC "skip every class" for nothing, and it's a known fact that Big 10 schools are pretty good academically for the most part. The SEC just has a lot more kids to choose from than the Big 10 due to academic things. Yep, that MUST be it....it has nothing at all to do with the sheer amount of talent in the southeast region at all....just us southerners being uneducated and going to school because of football alone....

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 01:05 PM) So I have been playing Halo 3 on Xbox live with no problems but I can't join my friends parties. Anyone have any ideas? Using a wireless router? Check your port configuration. Do a system check on the 360 Live menu, see what level of security it is set at. If it comes up "Strict" or anything other than "Open", you need to go in and tell your router that you allow connections through the 2 ports the 360 is using.
