QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) It was either that or Crede. And if you are serious about competing for a division title you can't give up two starters in July. I know Reed is going to be good, but this is a deal that had to be made, and will benefit both teams. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really doubt the M's would have taken Crede over Reed, even if there was some reports out there on it.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) Not joking at all, I am just going to ask why he gave up Reed and were there other options available than giving up Reed. If he doesn't give a suitable answer, I will further my probing questions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, ok, good. From what you sounded like it seemed like you were gonna grill him for trading Reed. It would be nice to know if there were other alternatives, but there probably wasn't.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 06:29 PM) Don't worry, I've still got a few things planned, mainly centered around Jeremy Reed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope you are joking. Would our starting staff be better with: Buerhle Hernandez Contreras Garland Grilli f*** that.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 05:39 PM) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_cws&fext=.jsp great signing. I didn't think Nen signed with us, but I guess he did. Anyway, this is great for the Sox. Speed and Power. I love it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We haven't signed Nen and there is no indication we will except for some dude from San Francisco saying we were interested.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What does that mean? He'd be arbitration eligible?

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) This is just f***ing awesome. Found out like 20 minutes ago. Zero just s*** in his pants I'm shocked and f***ing happy!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If anyone dares to yell at KW during Soxfest I will send an army of angry robots after them. At this point and time, I can easily call this an offseason. Iguchi would just be icing on the cake, and Nen would be the sprinkles.

World War II was 60 years ago. It's not like he called him a gook. Christ.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) good thread to revive... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought so too!

There's no way Boras lets Beltran go this early and this cheap (to Boras).

Just got a rough translation of his diary, nothing special.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) It was mention on KNBR 680 AM which is the flag station of the Giants it was mentioned yesterday that Nen might sign a minor league deal with the Whitesox or the Rockies... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Coors Field NL, or Coors Field AL? Which team is going to be more competetive. Money might also be an issue here, I'd try to top the Rox offer if it isn't too much.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 5, 2005 -> 08:55 AM) Any links to the Nen deal, haven;t heard ANYTHING about that, even on this board. Interesting....... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea, I'd like to see some links or something too. I'd be stoked if we signed Nen to a minor league deal. Even more stoked if we walked away with all 3 baseball players.

Excellent! I love snow. It's so much fun to drive in it and have snowball fights.

Man, I really hope we sign Pierzynski. /getting back to the original topic.

I think right now is time for that famous quote... Let's agree to disagree. The topic of Timo Perez has seen the battlefield too many a time. It's time we lay it to rest and the let the season bring upon us what Timo Perez does next year.

I don't see why people see Timo as a wasted bench spot. I'd bet a lot of teams would kill to have him on their bench. He's not the smartest player in the world, but he really hunkers down when there's RISP. Late inning pinch hitter is all.

That's too much for my buns.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) Simple Man? Is that a subtle Gary Rosington tie-in to your sig? And anyway, you're not really living until you go with the 40GB deal. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could be, could be.... Let me re-phrase: A kid that makes just enough money to pay off gasoline and car insurance and have a minimal amount of spending money. Hopefully the price will go down next Christmas, I really want an iPod.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) BTW this is the other thread that was referred to earlier. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...1&st=&p=entry <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, I think it was this one, the one where mr.eye posted from snopes. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...&st=0&p=entry

iPod costs WAY too much for the simple man at this time. I'm waiting till those massive 20 or 30 giggers go down to 100 dollars.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jan 3, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) winamp's pretty quality....i like the older versions better though, a tiny, incredibly fast little program. But only the new version of winamp will play the itunes file type so i'm stuck with that. :banghead <{POST_SNAPBACK}> iTunes has it's own special file type? I must say, while a good idea to stop piracy, that is very lame.
