We need to trade him while his value is at an all-time high

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 16, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Is it just me or does the time keep changing for when posts were made? I noticed the same thing. From the top level menu they are one hour off. Once you click on a forum, the are on the correct time. >soxtalk.com = one hour earlier soxtalk.com>Special Interest > SLaM = correct

Surf's up, kinda I love my job Don't miss me today.

It's like de ja vue all over again . . .

There is a difference in liking to drink and being too drunk to type out a list.

In a bitter kind of irony, this thread would be best on a night when the team is losing. Yet, like some strange curendera spell, they continue to win.

The last time I could dunk roughly corresponds to the last time I was carded and the last time I could look down and see my toes.

When you are old and have a job, west coast games suck.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 15, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) I didnt want to start a whole thread about it, but I would look at signing Kenny Lofton to a minor league deal if I was KW. His OBP has been fairly steady over the years and could add a decent presence to the top of our lineup. Right now our leadoff hitters have been some of the worst in the majors. That's where we're a little mixed. Are we trying to win now? Holding and hoping? Building? I thought we were trying to win now.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 15, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) I believe he has to much MLB experience to join that list. His time has passed. Duh, you are right. Thanks. I'm a bit distracted today.

It would be nice to add his name to this list Luis Aparicio, Gary Peters, Tommie Agee, Ron Kittle, Ozzie Guillen, ?

IIRC the teams submit the names and position. Why so early? Paper ballots at the ballpark would be my guess. Printing up a few million of anything has to take some time.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 15, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) I agree with that. And I nearly got laughed out of the state of Florida That may have nothing to do with sodas

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) I drink Jarritos the most. I prefer tamarindo but my family usually buys both the mandarina and tararindo ones. Dr. Pepper, that spicy cola product, should have been listed. For soda, I drink Coke. Mexico Coke in bottle (made with pure cane sugar)>>>>> Coke in bottle >> gun >> plastic >> can

A couple facts on multi year deal. When a player does better then expected, the team wins the deal. When the player does less, the team loses the deal. Players want to sell themselves high Having said that, I'm not certain if I was Q, I'd accept a 7/$40 I'm not even certain I'd take a 6/$40 Unless he wants to cash a bigger check now.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) You're from Texas, Land Of Big Oil, ain'tcha? I thought having a car and attending high school football games were mandatory down there! Pick up (the bigger the better) or Suburban would be closer. And high school football is only mandatory of you are a red blooded American dang gummit

BTW, can we all agree *this* was a better slumpbuster than the previous attempt?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:57 AM) Nope, it beats the heck out of the $2,000 I'd drop if I tried to buy a mint 55-card set of the original Mars Attacks cards. $2,000!! I'll sell you mine for $200 If I had any. /I'm such a bastard

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:58 AM) I would, but the people would probably have an easier time finding ammo for the AK over there, and the AK handles dirt better than the M16. Exactly why we give them M16 and SELL them ammo

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 15, 2008 -> 10:51 AM) Bonds felt the same way. Buuuut Moooooooom! ALLLLL THE OTHER KIDS ARE DOING IT!!!!!!!

It's never easy.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ May 15, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) Wow, those are great. I kind of knew those had come out, but had outgrown most card collecting by then. Only in looking back at that set do I see what a great job they did of paying homage to the 1962 original mars Attacks series with the garish colors and the over-the-top comic book graphic gore. I want that set now. $20 too much? So what else do you want?

I always kind of considered him a goof, with the illeism and just plan goofy stuff he did. But I was just reading some stuff on his career and realize he was far greater then I remember. Amazing career and really loved to play. As I get older, I am beginning to appreciate the guys that just seem to really love their sport, Buerhle, Favre, and the like.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 15, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) You got that on a bumper sticker? [definitely green] Thank you for assuming I have a car
