jr on now

Kw has the flu, didn't show at Sox fest today. No anouncement will be made today.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) Pierz calls a better came, can hold onto the ball better, and can block balls in the dirt as good as anyone in the league. I could give a s*** about his arm basically. Davis's arm is incredibly better for it to matter. I guess all the things you cited were all the things people complained about him. We will see. Not worth an argument.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) He is the best catcher on the team both offensively and defensively. I cannot see him getting pulled much at all for defensive reasons. I dissagree, I think Davis is better defensively and has a better arm.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) Here it is very possible. I think he will hit closer to 15 than 18. I agree, but batting lower in the lineup plus being pulled in the late innings for defense purposes he will not get 80-90 RBI's. If he gets 75 I would be thrilled. 70 is more like it.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:26 AM) Bruce is an imbecile. Just felt like saying that. God Bruce blows. He really is losing his mind.

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) That's about $2M a year, I thought that's what we wanted to pay him? No your mixing up what was said. He said Iguchi wanted 3/21- we offered 2/4 then igunchi came down to 2 or 3/ 5 million per year. We apparently didn't move off our offer, according to levine. But he will be the last to know.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) bruce hearing iguchi wants 3 yrs 5-6 millon. Sox from him not backing down from orginal offer. Herd that, I just don't know what Bruce knows and doesn't know.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 15, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) He should break the news at about 9:55 that rowand has signed a deal. LOL what perturbs me is Bruce Mentioned Harris batting ninth.

ESPN is on right now broadcasting from soxfest. All Sox Unfortunatly Levine is on tonight again.

let me know how this works out. I don't always use my tickets either.

We signed rowand that is the signing.

from what I understand there might be two issues with these tickets that will hold you back. The first is, season ticekt holders get first crack at ordering xtra tickets for these games. The second is the 9 and 13 game packages include one of these games. There not done selling these seats.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 04:00 AM) Easily the funniest/saddest moment of the night was when some douche bag Cubs fan called with some smug voice and asked how CP (As he put it, meaning Corey Patterson) and Beltran would have split time if Beltran would have signed with the Cubs.... he seriously asked that and seriously wanted an answer... and the scary thing is Bruce and Carmen didn't laugh at him.... ...and in Bruce's defense... he did say Sox and Iguchi are millions apart still, but he said KW has pulled suprises around Soxfest before, so he wouldn't be suprised if it happened tomorrow, in fact he said if it's going to happen at all, it will probably happen tomorrow... to me he portrayed it like he was just guessing This is not the job as the baseball insider. As boz has said we can do that. We need inside info not bulls*** feelings. We have been saying stuff might happen at the fest for weeks.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 04:00 AM) Oh don't worry, we'll have a laptop in the room. Free high-speed at the Hyatt. Couldn't get it working last year, hope that's not the case this year. Hey on that subject and especially for saturday will there be a sox thread for the Fest. I see one now that has hundreds of posts, can you guys start a new one for the weekend notes?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:50 AM) Levine thinks that if we're going to get Iguchi, it might be tomorrow. I just heard that. I simply think this guy is nuts.

Who the hell can his source be that just called him now. Get a new source.

Who is this idiots source? His daughter at home ?

unreal, he just reported that according to his source and its a good one that Cora is signing with the tribe. This is just unreal. He is a complete idiot.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan56789 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:37 AM) They said breaking news after the break....I bet it is about Cora signing with the indians even though that happed this morning Noonan

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:37 AM) I wasn't being rude quick, hope everyone feels better soon. Wish you could join us at the Fest this weekend! Maybe you should lobby for Levine's job. i know you were not being rude! You make a great point. Its still baseball talk.

Whoa Bruce's cell phone jsut went off. Big breaking news coming up. Maybe somebody is telling him that Cora signed with the indians.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:34 AM) Exactly, so why are we even talking about what he says? Who cares. We could sit around here and make up rumors, report them as news and be correct about as often as Levine is, which is hardly ever. Because I am married and both my kids are sick, therefore I have nothing else to do. Have fun this weekend.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:30 AM) Levine has no credibility. Everyone around here knows it. I don't even know why anything he says is even reported or posted here anymore. It's all either recycled news or wrong. Boz of course Everyone knows this, but for pete sake, its a baseball insider show for three hours. In a world of technology, you would think they could check a website. this is just terrible reporting period. Hell we know more about whats going on than they do.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:25 AM) s***, listen to this goof. Bruce Levine's 'crack production' staff mention Alex Cora is no longer a member of the Dodgers, yet fail to inform him he's a Cleveland Indian. Watch after the next commerical his crack production staff will find out that Cora is with the tribe. This whole station blows. This is a baseball insider show? What a farce.
