I am not convinced that just getting rid of power hitters will magically result in 4-5 runs every night. I still do not see a couple .300+ hitters in the lineup. Maggs was more than power, he also had a solid average. I believe have two guys batting .300 is better than 30 homeruns. Still looking over the pitching staff and prediciting average, good, and great seasons for 3 of the five looks very nice. I feel a lot better on January 1 of 2005 than I did a year ago.

There is some talent there, very cool

I am holding my breath, but this has the potential to be one of the best staffs in White Sox history. There is a lot of talent emassed here. I only hope we find the offense.

QUOTE (winodj @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) Tolls are cheap in Chicago, even at 80cents. To Leave Jersey and get to Staten Island on the Outerbridge Crossing, 6 dollars. To Leave Brooklyn and get to Staten Island on the Outerbridge Crossing, 8 dollars. US to mexico $2 + or - each way depending on bridge.

IIRC doesn't Illinois have a problem with snow and ice, salt, and freeze and thaw cycles? This makes it very difficult to maintain roads. One of the things I noticed in South Texas is the absence of pot holes on ashalt roads. They just do not happen.

EPA Window to your environment Interesting site

I look at it the other way around. The toll is $.80, if you help us to eliminate some of the cost of collecting the tolls, (IPass) we will pass along some of the savings in lower tolls. It catches the casual user and the out of staters. Basically let people who will not vote against you pay for the tolls. Same thing with things like hotel taxes and rental car taxes. Take money from the tourists.

I would be very worried if I thought my Supreme Court Justices could be influenced by a bust of Abe Lincoln or a $500 blanket.

QUOTE (Beastly @ Dec 31, 2004 -> 02:08 AM) Well, thats the end of me here...wonder whats next for me at soxtalk... no threads being read, no replies or posts being read... I actually think its good that everyone is heard because then we can have a few laughs with posts... but I won't see any replies... Beastly, I wouldn't worry too much about the ignore feature. I can think of a couple examples of two people who get along with everyone else but each other. I think everyone benefits if they are not sniping at each other's posts.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 31, 2004 -> 06:09 PM) I did a google search on "tsunami wave videos" WOW. Some of the videos are absolutely STUNNING. If you have a bit of time to do this, the power and destruction is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I don't know to laugh or cry at some of the people who moved closer to see the waves . . . :headshake

Did anyone hear that Mariotti is out of his radio gig? I've gotta say Jay's days to graze on maze by the bays in May, is now in a maze of haze. I guess it's God's way to say Jay you're a very negative man and shouldn't be on the radio.

Very nice winodj

I guess Brian's getting some tonight . . .
