Alex is the best in baseball at his position. He is a positive in the club house. That is why he is making that kind of money. Don;t shoot the guy who took it, complain about the dumbass owner for offering it. As much as I respect Jose, give me A-Rod in a heartbeat.

Gotta love your comp losing while you're resting. The next two days are going to be rockin' Wish I could get to Chicago. At least I'll have the game on ESPN

Being in the middle of this pennant race my guess is we could just by tickets to the Cell for some of these guys, I doubt they'll get any playing time.

NO! and no more contest boards for you

This is sooo cool.

I thought Viagra would help that . . .

It really is simple, beat the competition. The Captain is putting on the fasten seatbelts sign, this is going to be a bumpy ride or while on the roller coaster please keep your hands and heads inside the ride at all times, enjoy!

That's from our highway department. We also have a Don't Trash our Beaches, Keep Yer Butts in the Car, and assorted other slogans

Hell you were from up north . . . I'm down in the Rio Grande Valley.

Of course they weren't my boys when they beat the Sox. Damn them. Where in Texas?

Hey man the Rangers are my boys Don;t be dissing Texas

If there is an old fashioned romance in this game Frank will retire as a White Sox. No one has put more fannies in the Sox seats than Frank. While I wish he had the PR gift that Sammy, Walter, MJ, and other Chicago stars have had for this generation he is Mr. White Sox. I believe he could have slugged 600 home runs if he had been more selfish earlier in his career. Instead he is as complete a hitter as you could find and at his best umpires would hesitate to second guess him on balls and strikes.

Congrats! I really had this one pegged

I am so glad Mark is pitching vs. Tigers. It seems like this is the same position, coming off a big series win, that we f*** up. We put one of our best in the first game and set the tone.

Hmmm nobody seems to have picked the guy leading the charge average wise, going into tonight's finale -- Konerko I am so surprised Go Paulie

Instead of trashing other great topics like Return of Koch: Billy Revenge let's have a thread devoted to the inane personal attacks and name calling. Seems like it could be very popular.

Imagine Botch logging in and seeing over 350 posts about his return!

We should also remember we would be signing the 2004-2005 or 2006 edition of Robbie Alomar. Amazing how when people get near retirement they are looking for respect, and a cozy place to ride out the years. Who says we wouldn't wind up with the 2003 NY Mets version? I'm not that excited about signing him. I hope I'm wrong and he's another Fisk. Carl fixed his troubles while in Texas and I believe he proved he wants to play and is a good clubhouse presence, only a rough stretch will expose Robbie's current character.

We start tossing rocks at underperformers this season and as Forrest Gump said "Some times there ain't enough rocks" Remember the longest thread is MOTHERF*CKING B*TCHASS DIPs*** PASSIONLESS SOX!!!!

Since the MOTHERF*CKING B*TCHASS DIPs*** PASSIONLESS SOX!!!! thread has close to 600 replies I would assume we all thought it at one time or another! Remember taking leads into the 9th and :puke
