there is some sort of operating agreement between the leagues; the dude is under a contract that MLB is bound to respect. And as Jason says, future working relationships depend on abiding on the terms of the agreement. The dips*** is this Millar. Signs a contract and then wants to say never mind. It reminds me of that great governor in California, named Gray Davis. He signed a contract for electricity deals. He got ripped off on the contract and once the energy crisis was over he had his people rip up the contract, even though it was a 25 year deal, just because he's the freakin governor. If you sign something, then you damn well better represent it or pay the money to get yourself out of it. i agree he should honor it...but there is nothing that says he has too..american citizens can not be forced to work overseas against their will even if they sign a contract....MLB has to recognize that fact...i guess their only recourse if they really want millar to honor this contract is to blackball him this year... he is a dumbass for signing it if he wasnt sure its what he wanted to do

Let him develop in the minors....get him some more minor league innings, making sure he is ready. Something like that. i agree..rauch starts in charlotte..ptches every 5th day...no team goes through the entire season using only 5 starters so call up rauch when we need a spot start...and at some point in the season someone will go on the DL..rauch can take that pitcher's spot in the rotation or the pen

kip wells was throwing 97 mph in the 8th inning last year in a few of his starts...thanks nardi

if the sox had eddie gaurdado as their closer id be pissing in my pants too

my opinion..the son of a b**** is tall

curious...if saying "raghead " makes one a racist would it be safe to assume john mccain is a racist too??...or jesse jackson??...or shaq???...charles barkley???oh wait..barkely is a "conservative" republican that automatically makes him a racist... where does robert byrd fall into this..is he a racist???..you know "the moral compass" of the democratic party as quoted by one bill clinton... I never said I was a Democrat. John McCain is out of his f***ing mind. After giving a speech likening himself to Luke Skywalker fighting in the Death Star, I saw him to be a f***ing lunatic. And Baggs, even if Bill Clinton got his cock sucked in office and lowered the nation's morality....I don't see how that exonerates people from guilt for using racist rhetoric. Two wrongs don't make a right. my message to nuke was something you'd never understand...being youre a pacifist and all...he is actually over there getting ready to risk his life for this country...maybe you should just let that one slide...cause thats something youre not willing to do...

cw....he hasnt said hi to me either..and we agree on alot of this s***...give him time

No bags, if you are an American you have the right to speak. if you vote you have the integrity to speak. If you this this administration lurches around from half-formed idea to half-baked plan, you have an obligation to speak. Your charge of hypocrasy regarding Democrats is without validity but I don't suppose that you were privy to the debate that went on within the party or within the peace camp. No more than I know of the internal discussions that go on in the GOP or the right wing radio circuit. That being said, I trusted Clinton far, far, far more than I do the current administration on proper use of force. The idiocy of naming North Korea as an axis of terror and do nothing when they announce their nuclear desisgns while we prepare to wage war on Iraq, a secular state that has had nothing to do with bin laden and his religious fantacism - but Iraq is daddy's war, isn't it - and since the cowboy has failed miserably on his quote to get bin laden dead or alive (how would you have mocked, say, Gore if he had said that and failed to deliver? The word "incompetent" would be dripping from your lips...) we need a diversion. "boy...you put politics aside when US troops go to battle...bunch of hypocrites..all of them..." That was never done when Clinton was president so don't fling that bulls*** now. Your own post attacks Clinton for the use of power. Wag the Dog was all we heard when Clinton went after bin Laden. If the Republicans had been concerned as with what was going on in the world as they were with partisan obstructionism, obsessing about blow jobs, and cheap shots at our president, history may well have been different. Where was the support for Commander in Chief Clinton? No where. So do not ask for what you did not give. So Bush reaps what he sowed. His own inattnetion to terrorism because it was Clinton's warning on bin Laden that was turned over on 20 January 2001, or the Al Queda briefing came up the day Bush was more concerned about Enron - so what has he given us? Wag the Dog with his daddy's war rather than go after bin laden - color coded days - oh I am sure that has terrorists shaking in the boots - and being the biggest god damned pansy woos ass of all. A real president would say, hey, we have this problem we have to address - iut will cost money - we have to pay for it - if you want to fight terorism you have to pay for the fgight against terrorism - no, instead we get the destruction of the American economy from surplus to tremendous deficits, what was the last estimate, $330 billion one year deficit WITHOUT the costs of any war and WITHOUT the leave no rich person behind tax cut proposals pf Bush - A real president would give us the fast and the costs and set us on a course of action. This one wants guns and butter and lies and smoke and mirrors and big talk words on which he never delievers while he wrecks the American economy. So thanks to JoeyBatters for his attack threads that lead to people attacking each other in here. we can keep arguing in here and build walls between friends or get on with the business of being Sox fans. (but if you want to call me a hypocrite to my face, and see the end of a friendship that has be meaningful to me, do it - I don't want it, and I hate the overblown rhetoric of "hypocrite" etc because, you talking to me? Put faces on the people you are angry with. I look upon you as very good friend and I want to keep it that way. all im asking is where were all these liberal protestors when clinton was going a bombing barrage???...if you back clinton's action when he bombed 5 different countries in less than a year you surely cant claim conscientous objector status now??...is that a fair statement..???..you say americans have a right to speak...your damn right they do..but where were all these same americans when clinton was bombing everything that moved???..how come no one was speaking then...you lose credibility when the only time you prostest is when its convienent politcally... by "you" i dont necessarily mean you individually..just anyone who didnt voice the same concerns then that they voice now.. btw...while i had some doubts as to clinton's motives...i never questioned kosovo because the ends justified the means...but i do wonder if monica blewinskey never happened just what would have been our involvement in kosovo???..it is a real strange coincidence that when bill was having the most tumultous time in his adminstration it was also the time bombs were a flyin world wide......guess we will never know...when did clinton go after bin laden???...i remember one air strike in the mountains of afgahastan???was that it??..there was so much s*** going on back then i cant keep the bombings straight privy to debates that went on in the party or peace camps???...if these things did happen why were they kept private???...im not sure i follow you here..im talking about protesting from the liberal left thats been very loud for all to see...a lot are saying all war is wrong...conscientous objector..ect..im saying i dont remember any of this under clinton when he waged war...its become all too political...it reminds me of all the women's rights group that screamed bloody murder during clarence thomas and bob packwood...saying stuff like a woman could never lie about rape because its too painful,,,but when clinton is accused of rape the same groups come out and say the woman is lying...thats the point im trying to get accross....there is no consistency here...it all depends on which party is engaging in battle as to whether its right or wrong...

we are the only team in baseball with 4 30/190 guys...so im assuming when rogers says kenny will decide if he wants to join a staff that has 4 -30 /190 guys he is talking about the sox

phil rogers says that about kenny rogers: "- White Sox- Kenny Rogers decides this week if he wants to join a starting rotation that already is the only one in the majors featuring four starters who worked 190-plus innings in at least 30 starts last season." cmon kenny . we need ya

in the AA all star game 2 years ago..olivo was caught using a corked bat

if he does start cranking them out...then lets hope you are right

wow..that is freakin interesting....ordonez and lee for griffey and dunn??? it would be hard to say no to that..just getting rid of the lawn ornament makes me giddy dunn is 5 years from arbitration...5 years of him and borchard...dunn is gonna be a stud...26 homers , 400 obp , 19 sb's...and he was only 22 and struck out 170 times..can you imagine what that kid will do once he learns the strike zone???...plus he is left handed...with a 400obp and his speed..dunn could actually bat lead off for this team.. would give us an outfield of dunn , griffey , borchard....all left handed power...the key is griffey...can he stay healthy look at this line up..we would become one of the best defensive teams in baseball too..our outfield would rival minnesota's defensively... dunn -lf jimenez -2b thomas -dh griffey -cf konerko -1b valentin -ss crede-3b borchard -rf olivo -c id do it..i would...as much as i love maggs id have to pull the trigger on this deal...but cincy would never do this deal anyways.. nice thought though...february really sux for sports...come up with a few more for discussion

ive heard rauch refered to as "the alien"...

In US History class today, our teacher said that in Kosovo they are naming streets after Clinton. similiar to what soviet republics did for reagan...fact is regaurdless of what the rest of the pussies in the world like france , a country that lost a war to greenpeace, think, and the pussies here at home, the people caught under saddam's reign of terror will praise bush and america once we liberate them... it f***in irks the hell out of me that these liberal pukes here at home were one hundred percent behind that scumbag clinton when he went after milosevic...but now that a republican is in office anything he wants to do is opposed purely on political reasons.. if you oppose war fine...and you opposed clinton then you have a right to speak...but if you wernt running you peace lovin mouth when clinton was bombing 5 countries on 3 different continents in a 10 month period then shut the f*** up now...and i dont remember hearing a peep from liberal left when it came to clinton and war....didnt see martin sheen or john cusack or any of your other hollywierd liberal two faced backstabbing f***s that the liberal left is so aligned with now signing anti-war petitions against billy boy...you put politics aside when US troops go to battle...bunch of hypocrites..all of them...

so you want maggs to turn into a homer run hitter???...follow in the footsteps of sham - me??? if he starts to turn on every pitch to try and hit them out he probably will increase his home run total...but his average will also drop... listening to hawk talk about maggs at soxfest he said maggs is the smartest hitter on the team...he adjusts better then any player on the sox...his only problem comes when he starts to look to drive the ball to LEFT FIELD...then he hits a lot of grounders to SS...

that must have been so cool watching those guys...i became a sox fan in '69...can you say daune josephson

here are some ive heard..mostly from WSI buehrle - "burly -mon" valentin - "manos" or "porn star moustache" durham was "wtp" - warning track power - "ray -ray" borchard is "LTP" light tower power ..i love that one ritchie was "toad" rowand - "crash" olivo - "corky" harris "wee-willie harris" lee - "el caballo" - "dumbass caballo" - "the lawn ornanament" - "the statue" "dips*** -moron " you name it..oh..and "heather's husband" colon "tub of goo" ..also was terry forster's nickname in the early 80's konerko - "konehead" graffinino "graffy" - "tony g." - "wise guy" - "goodfella" josh paul - "mr. versatility" foulke was "foulke you" and "unfoulkingbelievable" wunsch - "sidewinder" - "wunschmiester" - rick white - "the bouncer" - from the st louis board daubach - " daubber" - from the red sox board..guess its a take off from the show "coach" glover "the glove" -we need a better for him osuna was "el canon"

im rooting for boros!!!!!!

kick some raghead ass brother!!!

The War on Terror is a joke. There is no way that you are going to be able to kill every person who objects to American standards. You kill a person, their family and friends hate America so we kill them and it just keeps going continuously. So I guess we'd have to kill more people? And more people? That's genocide. That's what we condemned Hitler for doing. If you guys would like a fun read, here are a couple articles by Francis A. Boyle, Harvard law graduate and professor at the University of Illinois who used to do World Court (International Criminal Court) work in the Hague prosecuting war criminals. U.S. War Crimes In Iraq Bush's Illegal War On Behalf of Iraq's Children Also, Al-Qaeda perpetrated the attacks on 9/11. Why not use our resources getting them instead of going after a 3rd world dictator who couldn't hurt us even if he wanted to? (that assertion is according to world and U.S. intelligence) Let the inspections work. And if we do invade, we break the U.S. Resolution of 1990, so we'd also break a U.N. resolution so I guess some other force could have U.N. inspectors come in and look at our weapons and have a pre-emptive attack on us since the U.S. is housing Cuban terrorists in Florida? a harvard grad...and he's a liberal who is against the war???..im shocked...lmao...there is no brainwashing at that so called insitute of higher learning... harvard has become a joke...atleast find someone to back your point thats not brainwashed fool...they are out there..you have to search hard though...
