When did we really wear out the and the and the and of course the

Without any major roster moves from any team the division would stack up as Twinkies ~ On the decline with age Sox ~ holding or slight improvement Royals ~ another step forward Cleveland ~ not a factor Tigers ~ only 100 loses Based on this I think we would make the playoffs. We were right there with 2 weeks to go. Better season from Colon and Mark, only a slight drop from Estaban and the emergence of a 5th starter has us over the top.

I believe both may be correct. By trying to cut $15 million he may wind up with only a slight increase. Or the theory I like is: Perhaps the $15 million is a couple/few players who will not be back. Cut $15M in those salaries and add $20 in new players. I'm too old to worry about speculation. It won't do any good.

I agree with you. I agree with your agreement

The Work Zone or the I'm at Work Zone I'm OK You're an Idiot Everything but the Sox We didn't make the f***ing playoffs so this is all we have Board :fyou Quagmire The Swamp Socrates? Not!

Deep Thoughts Manuel's Corner (he's not a Sox topic either) Sex, Lies, and Politics f*** That Tabula Rosa Outside the Park Sun-Times (We make up s*** too) Free For All (Baby) Revolution

After so many months away from home I'd be quick on the plane. As a matter of fact, I'd like to wave to the guys after my last start and cheer them on from the Dominican. I can't see him not filing for free agency. Do you believe the Sox tossed out their best offer first? Do you believe he wants to win a championship? Do you think he deserves to know the status on the other players before making a decision? Wouldn't you like to have a few teams bidding? I know I'd wait and here what George had to say. Stepping into Clemens role would be cool. Loyalty issues? Why should Bart have any loyalty to the White Sox? He's been traded like a piece of meat a couple times, now it's his chance to control his fate. I'd like to see him back. I'd like to go into the next few seasons with Mark, Bart, and Estaban. Gee, I hope the tub-o-goo posts don't hurt his feelings and cause him to leave.

And take it from player's salaries. That's my only worry. Salary is salary and I'd hate to lose a quality player to get Torre ir any other manager. How about Jerry Manuel, I hear he's available. He was just Manager of the Year in 2000 and his teams are in at almost every year.

Excuse me but I believe I was closest Flash Tizzle was close but backasswards with his 32-18 Bears win Thebighurtbegood had it 31-17 he was -7 and -6 I had 44-17 I was +6 and -6 And the Bears should be looking to the Tigers for inspiration. They may not win a game all season. I live in Cowboys Country and this revolting turn of events is not good. I may have to pretend to be a Cubs fan to shut them up (Astros)

I'll even go early in the week Vikings Titans Chiefs Panthers Seahawks Cowboys Raiders Bills Dolphins Chargers 49ers Redskins Browns Buccaneers

Damn Cub fan, friend of mine, called up and started singing Hey, Hey Holy mackeral no doubt about it . . . :fthecubs

I think he also deserves a chance to be battling for a WS every year for the next few. If the team does come back as a shell of itself I could understand him shopping around.

Washington was a slacker and a Tub-O-Goo

I voted for Van Buren. That Seinfeld episode with the Van Buren gang was so damn funny. Only about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, but trim and erect, Martin Van Buren dressed fastidiously. His impeccable appearance belied his amiability--and his humble background. Of Dutch descent, he was born in 1782, the son of a tavernkeeper and farmer, in Kinderhook, New York. Son of a tavern owner, how cool is that?!

Maybe too big, but that is so damn funny.

How can you avoid it. Baseball fans gravitate towards these kinds of stories. Imagine a game 7 Red Sox-Cubs game. I'm wondering if at some point I may cheer the unbderdog and begin pulling for them. I know I'm cheering Boston all the way and believe if I was a lifelong Texan I would probably be cheering the Cubs.

Frank is mentioned in other threads speculating on the team's roster for next year. I happen to believe the greatest Sox player of the past 50 years deserves his own thread and deserves to finish his career as a White Sox.

I hoped Maggs would be the next Thomas. Great player, regular all-star numbers, keeps the fans interested, plays out his entire career as a Sox.

The Bears will be announcing a new interim coach after a 44-17 ass kicking. Cub fans will demand Dusty Baker manages both

Anyone got some tips for taking courses on-line. I have two face time classes and one on-line this semester and it seems the on-line is like swimming in jello. I also managed to crank out a 80 and 90 on open book quizes after the season was over.

Thank you, I was going through sig envy repeating to myself size doesn't matter size doesn't matter size doesn't matter size doesn't matter But DonkeyKongerko can't get rid of his avatar, she's hot

I left Chicago 8 years ago after 34 years and I find it easier to not hate them when I'm not surounded by their whining fans. If they win people down here will actually come up and say nice game, you must be happy the Cubs are in the playoffs. They forget there's another team in Chicago that broke my heart this year. It's not like the Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers, and Bulls where people all around the country hate them for their success. How can you hate the Cubs if you're in Atlanta, they gave you Maddox. :fthecubs

G. Damn I have to go to another Cub game with the clients. When the hell is the season over. I never remember having to go to a game in October, this sucks. Do they serve latte, are the hookers still working? What's a wild thingy? Can't they just play all the games in a day or two and get it over? My platform tennis league starts next week and I can't miss. You mean we pay "extra" for these playoff tickets?

I had the same thought. It's someone close to the organization who possibly has already agreed to the coaching staff. I disagree with the just elated to have a job comment.
