Well, BE GOOD, maybe you can get at least a ride in the Saturn f***ing Ion

Well, BE GOOD, if you are lucky, you acn go to Chicago and drive the Saturn f***ing Ion!!!

Beastley, I think ya get too bent outta shape about the whole Mod thing. You have improved drastically as a poster since ther early wsc425 days, and I'm sure that most people would agree with that sentiment. Just keep doin your thing, it gets noticed.

Uh-oh.....so I guess I can mark off one more state not to travel through!!! J/K, congratz BE GOOD.

Even Buehrle at 3-4 milion is gonna be a little over half of what Ponson is gonna cost to sign. It will take 6-7 mill per season to get him to sign, and thats more than you r#1 and #2 combined. I do agree with what you say about Loz, though.

I still think it will be given to, GASP, Scott Schoeneweis. They are keeping him around for that reason, and maybe Coop can get him in a good enough position to be at the very least, average in that #5 slot.

And again, I don't mind bringing Ponson in, but I cant see a #3 making twice as much as either the #1 or 2, seems a bit bass ackwards to me.

First Sidney Ponson, who turned 27 this year: Year Team G GS W L SV CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA 2001 BAL 23 23 5 10 0 3 1 138.1 161 83 76 21 37 84 4.94 1.43 .289 2002 BAL 28 28 7 9 0 3 0 176.0 172 84 80 26 63 120 4.09 1.34 .258 2003 BAL 21 21 14 6 0 4 0 148.0 147 65 62 10 43 100 3.77 1.28 .258 2003 SFO 10 10 3 6 0 0 0 68.0 64 29 28 6 18 34 3.71 1.21 .255 Now Colon, who turned 27 in 2000: Year Team G GS W L SV CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA 1997 CLE 19 17 4 7 0 1 0 94 107 66 59 12 45 66 5.65 1.62 .000 1998 CLE 31 31 14 9 0 6 2 204 205 91 84 15 79 158 3.71 1.39 .000 1999 CLE 32 32 18 5 0 1 1 205 185 97 90 24 76 161 3.95 1.27 .000 2000 CLE 30 30 15 8 0 2 1 188 163 86 81 21 98 212 3.88 1.39 .233 And Rex, I know it doesnt mean he isn't gonna re-up with the Yanks, but I just think that its al lsetting up for him to land in Houston, back home.

I'm not real sold on Ponson, nor on giving 6-7 mill to a guy to be our #3 starter. What will Buehrle and Loz think about being outpaid by a new guy unproven to this team? Hopefully, that wouldnt matter to them, but something still bothers me about Ponson

Don't have the source article, just heard Sportscenter say so. Petitte is not gonna agree to a contract with the Yanks, and will be a FA. I think it's pretty obvious that Andy is goin to the Astros, with the money they just cleared from Wagner. The domino effect could definately be Colon to NYY now. So we better get ready to put the full court press on Sidney Ponson.

While I do think that at his hiring Press Conference, it was NOT the time for Ozzie to start the rips on Frank, I do think what Guillen says is true. It most likely should have been handled internally, but you've got a 1st time manager coming to his old town, and he wanted to make a splash. He knew what the knocks were on the previous regime, and wanted to make it clear that his thought process was NOT the same as JMs

Ah, yes....Jimmy Aguirre...I hate that guy....he weighs like 300 lbs, and he is with that fine skinny girl....how is that?? Sorry, turns out I don't know who the hell he is, but I can be sarcastic with the best of them.

Agreed mooch. He is the reason I got serious about following the Sox. But as of now, I am REALLY growing tired of his shenanigans. Plus, I get credit for using the word shenanigans in a sentence

Also, FSJ, 2002 was Colons ONLY 20 win season. 13 million a year for a guy that has had 1 20 win season is ALOT. I know, he puts the innings in that an ace needs to, and he gets the CGs, but way too inconsistent to make that much four our team.

This is the hugest load of BS. What Steff, that Guillen balked at the idea, or that he was ever offered the Bench coach job?

Thats not true...JM could jump over the chalk line and clap 3 times on the way to the mound better than anyone in MLB

Sox-r-us, I changed the title of the post due to Morrissey being the one that wrote it.

Just ran across this article in the Daily Southtown. Pretty decent read. Wonder if Frank will backtrack from what he said, or is it a way we may actually be without Frank in 2004... Heres the complete article

BEGOOD, you are gonna be mad at the human race after tomorrow. Gonna be TONS of people around ya on a Wednesday, boo that.

Some interesting points there. I dunno why Valentins agent is thinking there are 6 or so clubs that need a 230 hitting stone hands SS. I like the quote: Well hell, I'm sure you would like them to. But its still too much for Jose. Also, Graffy wants to test Free Agency. He may just get an offer to come play somewhere, so we may have to deal with a Graffy-less Sox team in 2004. Its a good thing that they are looking to bring back Sully, cuz I think he could be a cornerstone in our Bullpen if they keep him. Gordon, OTOH, can go get an offer of $5 mill with some other team, thats money we DON"T need to spend.

"Willie Mays Hayes, huh...well you may run like Mays, but you hit like s***." How fitting is that old Major League saying.

Thats gotta be it..... HIGGINS!!!!!

great job Heads, Jas, Show, everyone.....theres a reason that there are new members joining everyday.

Fellow late night owl on the Soxtalk boards, Happy Birthday pal.

Who'da thought that those bratty little younguns from "Full House" would grow up to look like they did.
