I don't think the original Madden would have a label.

Just some cheap trailers. We just went through this on South Padre Island, the County has a great RV park and public access beaches on the Island and wanted to sell it to a developer for hundreds of millions. The public was outraged and the land is staying open for public use and for the winter Texans and their RVs. BTW, there wasn't any pictures but manufactured homes have come a long way. They range up to $1,000,000 in some ski areas to hundreds of thousands in other areas. I'd consider a $150,000 trailer on the beach with literally a billion dollar view. I'd rather have a well founded sailboat in the harbor.

How about "Mike"? IMHO the Southsider has to remain, update the year. I was thinking JugKiller but that seemed to sophomoric.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 1, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) Give Sisco his shot like all the others. If he earns a rotation slot, he earns it. Damn Yas, that's too simple and too logical for January on a message board.

QUOTE(Beltin @ Jan 2, 2007 -> 06:51 PM) Yes. I recall one against Detroit at home in September and another I think against the Twins. This one from the espn list is most amazing of all to me. "The Mariners somehow "hit" into a triple play in a Sept. 2 game in Tampa Bay -- without a ball being put in play. Raul Ibanez got called out on strikes for the first out. Adrian Beltre got nailed stealing second for the second out. Then Jose Lopez bolted for the plate and got thrown out at home for the third out." That's a rally killer

At least we'll never have to worry about another dictator running their country like Saddam did. Because the death penalty is a deterrent.

I was just thinking a birthday thread would be appropriate. WWJSNB* What would Jesus screen name be?

I am so proud to live in a country where a young, poor, unidentified, and probably here illegally, person, would receive this kind of love and caring. We are a very rich country which has received many of God's blessings. We can always find room to help those in need. Perhaps when we think of illegals, we can remember a little girl who had the American dream.

And as always, there are unintended consequences of really going after the DA. It makes other DAs leery of aggressively prosecuting other possible criminals. Then the pendulum swings the other way and there is public outrage when a DA decides he doesn't have enough evidence to prosecute because he fears they will throw the book at him if he doesn't get a conviction.

It's all about potential for potential. Both of the major players in this trade have the potential to be #1 Aces in most MLB lineups. It is impossible to predict with any great certainty. So look to the other players tossed in and I think the odds are slightly better that the Sox will get more use out of these players than what was traded. The difference is so slim that this isn't that big of a deal on talent alone. Toss in personality, those couple of gems that bmac tossed, and you have a 700 post thread. On talent alone this will be an edge trade. Someone will get a slight edge out of it.

Bummer. RIP

That is the reoccuring theme down here in Texas. No one here I have spoken to thinks the Rangers won this trade. They all think the Sox swindeled their GM. Thank can't believe the organization traded Nolan Ryan's second coming.

Well compared to the days when he traded for a guy and found out it wasn't the one he thought it was, he's come a long way. Some of this could be posturing and making the guy feel wanted and "special". We'll never hear about the guys they are coveting and never get. So it may seem he only gets guys he's been stalking and has a man crush on.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 05:15 PM) All personalized with the Sox logo? Sweet! Reading, it's a good thing LOL, I guess I should read closer but . . . Sweet itt is. I used a woodburning set and a dremel to carve in the logos. I'm hoping for a Danks & Jenks jersey. Does that sound more like a law firm or a sports bar?

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) how so? If you replace before, you can copy everything onto the new drive. If you wait for your current drive to crash, the data, programs, operating system, etc. will probably not be recoverable.

The B-Mac thread keeps producing gem after gem. QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) And the next time you call me out like this, we'll exchange phone numbers and arrange a meeting......

So Mariott agrees with 90% of the posters here that the trade sucks, and he's still and idiot

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Sounds like Somalia issued a deadline to Ethiopia, and Ethiopia said no. But I would agree with your line, who would have thought Ethiaopa had jets?!?! And an army?

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 10:33 AM) Or, perhaps you are giving some of the people here who claim to have "inside knowledge" too much credit. Perhaps you are giving too little credit to the White Sox, who recognize that these message boards (not just soxtalk, there are a couple others) are an important marketing tool, and the people who run this board.

While I can't comment on the above poster and his motives, I can agree that the trashing will begin shortly. It always does. And IMHO it occurs by fans of every team. QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) You're the second guy in this thread to dis Jon Rauch as if he was a complete bust. He isn't a super star but is maturing into a good Major League pitcher. Jon was second in the National League with 85 appearances last year, throwing 91.3 innings with an ERA of 3.35. He went 4-5 on a team that lost 91 games. The National's GM Bowden has been talking about adding him to the rotation for 2007 but will leave it up to new manager Manny Acta. Rauch was traded along with Gary Majewski (now with Cincinnatti) for Carl Everett in 2004. He headlined a group of talented young pitchers that caused more than one national publication to call ours the best minor league system for young pitchers. I don't mean to dis Jon, but many had him as the second coming of Cy Young. He is also around here an icon of someone who "couldn't miss". While he is emerging as a good pitcher, he isn't something we couldn't live without. The difference between a Roger Clemens and a AAAA is razor thin, and can't be predicted with any certainty. So trading prospects isn't as earth shattering to me anymore.
