QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Sure he is a bit of a gamble. At the very least, he should be a good platoon with Willie. I just like the attitude and professionalism the players from Japan seem to bring. That's just my perception. It also could bring more opportunites from the Asian markets. He could be one of those spark plugs that gets the whole team going. I don't like the fact that Ozzie seems down on Harris. If that is true then get someone in there that the manager believes in. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One name. Daisuke Matsuzaka. Not only would his last name look completely badass on a Sox jersey, he would be an absolute stud. My thinking is that having 2 Japanese players to relate to would help him come here unless the Yanks or Mariners or Dodgers are hellbent on signing him.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) i thought KW was to be on the score today but on their update Telender didnt mention KW being on the score.. Maybe KW is talking to Iguchi agent <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kong will be on.

Eh.. someone at WSI was lying. Kong will be on the Score, not KW.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) Comcast finally raised my cable speed back up to the speed it was at when ATTBI ran the service. Unfortunately they have shutdown their newsgroup server. Anyone who downloads off newsgroups knows how much great stuff you can find on there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did they raise all of their clients speed? If not, how can I find out if they raised mine?

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Don't know what the hard on for this guy is. Who else wants him? If he's sooo good? I 'm the Yanks need a second baseman and haven't even been Mentioned to e after him <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They got Tony Womack.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) lol, i'm trying to fight it! Would be a great signing though! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I'm just psyched for this signing to happen.

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) I'm reallly getting my hopes up. Damn, me too.

Cable. It works great.

Someone over on WSI said Bruce said that if KW wants Iguchi on this team, it'll be by this weekend.

QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) how many SB bases does he ave? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He gets about 40 per year in Japan. Everyone in Japan loves his speed.

I think it's a great idea.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Now Jeckle can just complain about batting order instead of hating Ozzie for not playing AROW enough. Game chat should be fun this year. Jeckle are you doing the whitesoxcentral.com chat if Dylan puts it up again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I'm assuming Bob and I will get a new chatroom up during Spring Training or so. If he doesn't want to, I will.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) I just heard Mel Antonnen from USA Today on sporting news radio on Sirius that the Sox offer Iguchi a 3year 9-10M deal.. I dont know if this mean we are going to sign him <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 3 to 3.3 million a year! If this is true, he should be signing it right now.... that's almost a million more than he made in Japan.

"Tadahito Iguchi's home stadium, the Fukuoka Dome, is a pitchers' park in the Pacific League, and has some of the larger field dimensions in Japan, including high fences." Could prove useful if we do sign him.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) I was eating lunch downtown got done, walked out.. looked to my right.. This guy looked really Fimilar...I turned to my Right.. and there was Pauly.. and looked across from him was A-row.. then it hit me.. The other dude was Ben davis. Didn't saw anything to them they we eating lunch with GF/Wifes..didn't think it was a good thing to do.. I also heara rumor that they might announce a signing of someone... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice, Anthrax. That must have been cool to see them all eating. It seems Ben Davis is fitting in nicely with all the guys. I hope he becomes a great catcher. Perhaps that signing was Aaron Rowand?

That's a nice price too. Especially if he produces like last year.

Just read it over at WSI. Hopefully they announce the signing of Tadahito Iguchi.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) Thanks very much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're welcome! Hope you get good tickets.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) Is the little green T (ticket symbol) supposed to work when you click on it? Maybe it's full? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It could be, I remember going through lines that gradually went from less than a minute, to more than a minute, to more than 2 minutes. http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/04003995...4&minorcatid=10

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) 149 row 9 for 2 of us <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :banghead Makes me wish I had a smaller group. Oh well, at least I get to be there Opening Day! for decent weather.

But, the best available ones for me (party of 6) were Upper Box Row 19. I was hoping Lower Reserved would be available. Oh well.
