He was lousy at predicting baseball. He keeps picking the Orioles and the Cardinals.

You have to love a free market. I think YAS hit the nail on the head. I wouldn't expect The Cell to book White Sox Sux and Cry Baby Thomas to a concert series What does surprise me is the rest if the bands are playing. Tells you how tight that tour is. I am certain that everyone involved is enjoying the media attention this brings.

Actually we stumbled on their Photoshop contest thread.

I don't know how worried my parents were about my safety as I was growing up. I remember being 10 and leaving home in the morning, heading over to the lake for the day, maybe playing some baseball, and not seeing my parents until way later. Now, if I don't know where my kids are 24/7 I get worried. Big milestone this week. One of his buddies just got his drivers license. Ohhh crap.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) Let's wait and see what the Tigers really offered him before we say he won or lost. Cuz, if he gets close to the 5/$70 that the Sox offered, I guess he won anyway. As for winning or losing, I wonder what the arb number would've been? Can arb go more than 1 season? If it was a one year deal, and another great season, somewhere around $16 to $18. I'm guessing Boras and a healthy Maggs could have pulled in a 6 year $90mil deal.

I remember in 8th grade fitting a kid through the hoop, without a net. We were screwing around after practice with one of the adjustable poles and put him up through, the reverse would be slightly hard with the arms.

Fake, her hands would have hung in the net. Looking at the GIF confirms it to me. But excellent work by whomever

Anyone else thing another lottery pick is bettter than a playoff series loss?

Ouch, looks like she smacked her head on the way through.

Bummer about the restaurant. Are all of Dikta's closed as well? And didn't someone from the Sting open one about the same time? And Fencik had a bar up on the north side didn't he? Wow, so many at one time, an amazing convergence of celebrity eateries all opening about the same time, would that be a coincidence?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Yeah, he shoulda took the Sox offer. I guess we're not the cheap ones now since we offered him a great offer. So if he stayed healthy, you think he would have gotten less than Beltre at $64/5 years?

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Certainly he would have gotten that kind of money..esp. if he still switched to Boras. Mags would have gotten a boat load of money. I am wondering if Maggs isn't kicking himself for not taking the Sox offer now. Without a doubt he's kicking himself. I would be shocked if every GM in baseball doesn't have a photo of Maggs on his desk and when some player turnsd down the team's last offer and decided to play out his contract, the GM turns the picture to face the player and says "Good Luck". Bwahahahahaha

It's obvious that Maggs lost his gamble after turning down the Sox' last offer of $60mil for 5 years. I was wondering if he would have won *if* he stayed healthy, and *if* he had another 30/.300/100 season. Beltran got $119 for 7 Beltre signed for $64 million for 5 I have to believe a healthy Maggs would have slipped in between these two in salary and would have done better than the 60/5 last offer.
