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.

Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine? I thought it was a nice round number. Taking my shirt off bossman Taking shirt off Whiping my brow, bossman whiping brow Waving to the Pope bossman Waving to Pope

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.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) Can anyone make me happier than this man? No, no I think not. *sigh* Thanks guys. Yep, were the great American giggle-os, it's kind of like being a gigolo, only we make you laugh

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I had a way s***ty day. And then someone said something (it was actually really nice) and I cried. I friggin cried at work. Most awkward/embarressing moment of my life.... Same thing Dubya said the other day . . .

While my career aspirations are not as lofty as FlaSoxxJim's goal to become a Solid Gold Dancer, I just want to step aside and allow a quality poster to have a chance to wear the mod crown. My luck, he hasn't logged on yet today to accept, or decline, but as soon as he accepts, it will be announced here. I am certain with all this new blood, you ain't seen nothing yet

Way to go, both of you!

Sure was slow today, even for a Monday. Where was everybody?
