Just so I understand... You complain about the national media not respecting the White Sox, then rip on it when they do?

It is now being reported that Eddie did NOT clear waivers and was claimed and pulled back by the M's I will get a link in a moment.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) he wants a contract identical to the #4 pick last year? He's the #4 pick this year. That makes sense to me. . . . If you have NO knowledge of what happened last year...yeah it makes sense. Let me enlighten you. Phillip Rivers was drafted #4 in 2004 He was TRADED to San Diego for Eli Manning, the #1 pick. Rivers' agent argued then that Rivers should be paid like a #1. San Diego gave him extra $$$. Benson CANNOT be treated like a #1 pick. He wasn't even the #1 Running Back taken. He is being offered #4 pick money, but he wants more money like Rivers even though the situation is different. That's greed. That's not Angelo's fault. Now that you have a clue, calm down and use it.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) So... the offense slumping is the reason Mark's given up 73 hits.. Alrighty. What does Hawk say... "He's trying to be too fine out there"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA FILTHY ANIMAL!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 09:11 AM) I started this thread so I have to assume that comment is for me. Take your own advice and re-read my original post. I didn't claim anything besides what I heard on the radio this morning. I do take my own advice... I gave a set of Candlesticks to a fine couple this weekend.

Well.. THANK GOD I DIDN'T TURN IN MY PLAYOFF TICKETS ORDER FORM!!! Now I can plan that Disney World trip in October. Whew!

Well, that's a WHOLE lot different that what this thread was trying to claim he said. Think before you post is a good policy...yep And candlesticks...make a nice gift.

I would like to SEE this quote then judge a man on hearsay. I'm sure we all agree on that... Don't we??

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) LMAO!!! I just had a conversation about that RO. Actually.. Jimmy Wynn was Jim's partner in the 4 some but after they all sit around and bulls*** and complain about how much $$ they didn't make

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) Steff, I need to hang out with you and your husband...you guys rub some good elbows. Don't let her version fool you. They are professional stalkers. Jim was escorted off the course after trying to pull Fergie's putter. Ask Steff about the Neal Cotts restraining order.

I think people also underestimated what the presence of Frank Thomas in the line-up means for the other hitters.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) And from all reports this morning they are saying he is not moving. Yes, I read that too. It has nothing to do with money, either. It's the fact the owners feel their team is worth more $$$ with Junior when they sell it this fall.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) If the Cincinnati Reds want the Sox to assume a fat chunk of roughly $40 million owed Griffey through 2008, then pick up the bill. If the Reds are demanding the inclusion of hotshot outfielder Brian Anderson in the trade, along with two minor-league position players, then include him. Do not worry, Ken, about being snookered on Anderson, who sparked a seventh-inning rally Tuesday night with his first major-league hit and might become a star. Nor should Reinsdorf, who has made a fortune in sports and claims to ''dream'' about winning the Series, be in any sort of cost-conscious mode with so much at stake. Someone should explain to this idiot how trades work after July 31st Because NO ONE would claim Brain Anderson from the wire.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) :banghead Thank you. I think Kenny wants to do the deal and has a deal in place. But it's not in his control right now. (Reds ownership)

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 10:23 AM) Let's see here. We cannot win at home anymore. We can't win at Fenway. We can't beat Oakland. Vlad and K-rod are now healthy for Anaheim. Kenny will not find us another big bat. Um yeah...I really like our chances. I am now the official king of pessimism.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) I have a "lump" that doean't feel right and seems to be the source of the pain. I'll deal with it a few days and see how it goes. Thanks 562004 Maybe you got bit? You weren't in Jermaine Dye's bed, were you?

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Is she a writer? Or is she someone who started a blog and because of the talent she exhibited was asked to contribute elsewhere? And of course you're entitled to your opinion, just as others reserve the right to express their opinion of yours.However if you want your views to hold any weight then providing more than just stating something is stupid and ridiculous would help. She is a professional writer. She is a published novelist. And if she were writing about the Sox, you'd love her. Try to look past team issues and see talent for what it is.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 06:05 AM) Lennon/McCartney [/thread] Now McCartney wrote with Wings and Lennon did that Imagine thing... When did they write together??

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Uh, Chris Singleton, anyone? ::crickets::

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 07:39 AM) ...seems more like a Scooby-Doo reference. Homer is referencing Scooby... ugh...I'm a geek.

Congrats!! No more living out of the van and solving mysteries now. (Simpsons reference)

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 06:58 AM) The Sox are a measley 74-39 36-22 at home and 38-17 on the road. 65 of those games were decided by less than 2 runs. And in those games the Sox are 44-21 Pretty awesome!! I don't know if you've heard, Steff... But Ozzie is a stupid f***ing manager, this team is only swinging for homeruns, and Ken Griffey Jr doesn't like us. So who cares about your stats!
