Capn12

Anythnig that features the sultry Jessica Alba is in good taste, I assure you!!!!

What was the haps? I musta missed all that, what was goin on? You don't visit Soxtalk for 2 or 3 days, and all hell breaks loose...

"Do you promise?" "Yes, I promise I won't have sex with your mom."

Even better than the Genesis and/or original Nintendo emulators are teh Arcade Emulator!!!! I have had that on the PC for quite a while. Nothing better than being able to play Tempest or A.P.B in all their arcade splendor!!! And, I still have my original Nintendo!!! And yes, I still have to blow into each cartridge to make it work I always hated that part of the Nintendo generation, but Tecmo Bowl owns!!

And the soap opera continues on a daily basis.... like sands through the hourglass...

I'm right there with ya, Cali....Scrubs I caught from episode 1 on...and have made sure to schedule things around it since. McGinley and Chalke are great, as are the janitor and the lead guy. One I always liked that Fox cancelled(seems to be a reoccuring theme for me and Fox shows) was John Doe. I used to love watching that on Friday nights. Damn, the program scheduler at Fox must have the quickest hook in TV. Family Guy and John Doe.....

Who's that in your sig??? That'd be Shakira.....of the "blond hair, brunette roots" Shakiras

CS1, what software are you using? I downloaded Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and when i opened it to try one, I was like Homer staring at a donut.....I could only stare, cuz I was completely lost. I got some ideas for one, but I'd REALLY like to try one myself first. Thanks man

I'm sorry..."resigned"...although if he didn't, I'm sure he woulda been fired. It was all a matter of giving him the option to decide hiself before it was decided for him.

Thing is, Rush was brought in and paid JUST for that. And then you fire the guy for doing what you wanted him to do??? Thats the state of our coutnry I guess, no matter what your opinion is, someone is gonna be offended and call for your head. Pretty pathetic IMO.

Vince, here are the totals: beastly was 32-18, with no bonus pick Soxheads was 37-13, with WMU (W) and 54 pts ytz37 was 35-15, with Ohio (L) and 66 pts.

Thats about what I had heard too. 10-12 mil is about where I had pegged Colon's worth also. If any team offers him more than that then they are grossly overpaying for him. Anything over 10-12 mill per season for Colon is too much....and justifiably so, thats all that KW should have offered. If he goes to Boston or New York, and gets more, its their problem to deal with. What was done is all that can be done by KW concerning Colon...all he could have done was MAYBE offer 1 more year, but then we get financially obligated to him for 40-44 mil instead of 30-33, and I'm sure it took all the convincing in the world by KW to get JR to pay out that much.

2002 Athletics 103-59 $39,679,746 They seemed to be ok, too...with that "stiff" closer.

2002 Angels 99-63 $61,721,667 Hmm, I remember this team having a little bit of success in 2002....with a low payroll.

After his season this year, I think Renteria will cost us alot more than we'll pay...Matsui probably would also, but I just like all the potentially good things that could come with having Matsui here at shortstop.

Sullivan, as a situational bullpen guy, is NOT worth his 3.1 million dollar option IMO. Not with the financial limitations the Sox have.

While I do agree that Colon is the #1 priority, I don't really thin we need Gordon back, at the price he is gonna command....we don't need to tie up the 2-3 mill minimum Tom will want to come back. We have Marte, and hopefully Koch can revert back to non-tired arm form next year.

Nothing wrong, like the 94 innings he threw last year for the A's, and the fact that he was no doubt trying to throw 98+ EVERYTIME. Oh yeah, and the fact that he;s had Tommy John surgery once already....yeah, nothing wrong with that picture.

Yeah people, jeez...whats up with the huge signatures??

Count me in on that trip also, mmmmmmmmmmbeer...I have the utmost confidence in KW doing what is needed for this team in 2004 and beyond.

If you can get Colon for 10 mill per season, you HAVE to take it. Me, I'm probably in the minority here, but I'll take Colon at $10 mill/season over Maggs at $14 mill/2004 season. We can find another RFer, but not too many #1/#2 starters fall in your lap.

So, you want Bartolo to be extended an offer of 12-14 mill over 3 seasons? Lets see, that would mean that he and Maggs, 2 players, would be responsible for approx. 47% of a $60 mill payroll, and thats stretching it considering most think it will top off at 55 mill. Thats obsurd. You cant have half your payroll in 2 players....and the other half in 23 other active players. Sorry, it cant happen.

If Colon walks away, f*** him. KW convinced JR to do what he never would do in the past, extending that kind of cash to a pitcher, AND doing it for 3 years. If Colon does actually like it here, he'll seriously consider it. If he was just talking to drum up interest from others, f*** him, buh-bye. Go play for the $200 million Yankees...

I think Frank can make it to 500 HRs, I just think that the last 40-50 may be with a different team....and while not THE best Sox player ever, he is definately Top 5 in this franchises history.

what kind of hitter is he? power? 2003 statistics (as of Sept. 5): G-HR-RBI-SB-AVG-OBP-SLG 119-27-67-10-.304-.367-.541 He is a pretty good all around shortstop...all depends on his price....I'd love to have him, rest assured
