I wouldn't be surprised if he beat out Ben Davis. Ozzie likes the keed (sic).

Currently it's Mark Buerhle. Frank has really had 2 or 2.5 good seasons in the past five years. Mark has had 4 as a SP and 1 as a reliever. BTW, anyone know who this jamieferguson is that sponsors Mark Buehrle's page on Baseball-Reference?

I feel bad for Sweeney either way. He signed for that price because he wants to be with that team and see them do well. He doesn't deserve to be lied to like that.

http://chicago.comcastsportsnet.com/ Nice pic of SoxFest on the front. Hope to be there someday. Wow 18 current players is the most Sox players at a 'Fest since the first one in 1992.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) Don't forget Crede. He's like around the average (really about below average) range. I was gonna put him with the slow but I guess I forgot. Maybe subconsciously I know he's not gonna do either.

Yeah this whole thread feels a little cubby. Yech I'm gonna go take a shower and wash this blue off.

QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Did they raise all of their clients speed? If not, how can I find out if they raised mine? They raised all clients on the silver plan to 3Mb/256Kb which is about 375KB/second download speed a while back. Comcast is actually upgrading again to 4Mb/384Kb for the silver plan but I checked and it hasn't been rolled out in the Chicago area yet. We always seem to be the last area to get the upgrades. Try testing your speed here: http://chi.speakeasy.net/

These things make me cry.

I saw him on Sports Page the other night and he is all plus in my book. Great guy who can get the clutch hits and lay down a good bunt once in a while. Has great speed and I expect him to post a career best in SB numbers this year with all the running we are gonna be doing. I have dreams about Podsednik and Rowand (now Iguchi too) doing double steals.

My only concern is can Iguchi go to his right. I remember Kaz Matsui had all kinds of problems because Japanese fielders do not backhand the ball for the most part.

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.

QUOTE(traydragen @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) by the way, could someone please remind me again when Soxfest is? Now!!! Well starting tonight. And if we really offered Iguchi that contract, we are gonna have a new 2B announced in the next two days.

I don't remember MLK giving a "Blacks and Latinos Can Stand the Heat Better" speech.

I liked the minimum once per year testing for every player. The year-round stuff could be difficult since players live all over the world during the offseason. The punishments look like they're set in stone for the first through fourth offenses. Selig has the final say for a fifth offense.

I noticed it's annoying when people use the +Quote button instead of "Reply because the author of those quotes is not cited automatically. Somewhere this should be changed so we can quote multiple people at a time. EDIT: Maybe people are not using the buttons at all. And last I heard, Bea Arthur had some sort of contract holdout due to a dispute over the length.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 08:13 AM) Completely, totally, 100% agree. His gets my vote for avitar of the year (and we can retire that award permanently). I just sit there and stare at it. I'd love to know where you got it. I think I found it in an "Alizee Appreciation Thread" on some other message board, possibly nforce.nl. I'm not personally offended by anyone's sigs or avatars but has anyone ever been viewing Soxtalk in public and you feel like you have a porn site up? When people ask, I have to explain what it is I'm actually looking at. If it's the Hot Chick Contest, I point in the other direction and say, "What the hell is that?" and make my escape.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) I never guess right :banghead . Some of those things I don't think the wrong answers even link to anything. How can those companies afford to give away all that free stuff?

That'd be a good psyche-out move though, putting a fake cold sore on during a match.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) What's wrong with the one I made? It looked like it was broken. I got a red X where the thumbnail was supposed to be but the link works fine.

There have been times when I found a great picture and thought to myself how great an avatar it would make. Every time, I realize I could never dump Alizee.
