  1. that was Hall of Famer Bill Veeck's idea!
  2. reinsdorf treats them differently when they aren't in the union anymore.
  3. its not abreu's fault that hahnjob cant do much more than sign relievers to multiyear deals only to watch them suck.
  4. thome was given a chance to chase a ring. they loved him.
  5. that was the charity howard stern raised money for at his new years eve special 30 years ago. where john wayne bobbit was a guest judge.
  6. that's the offical nugenix warning on the side of the label.
  7. for the record, 25 teams passed on trout, INCLUDING the angels. (they had the pick above him as well.)
  8. I like anderson, but the sox should have been calling the mets or giants the second the Correra deals fell apart.
  9. Most SXM plans include the app access now. If you are paying for it in your car, you likely are already paying for the app too.
  10. if he held out a few more years, and not sold to cablevision, the sox would be in a different place financially. NESN was a diaster fo rteh red sox until it went to basic cable. and Fenway Sports Group owns four teams in four sports, and its financed by NESN fees.
  11. White Sox baseball: enjoy our last attempt of competition before the next white flag trade!
  12. His dad plays golf with jerry. #job4lyfe
  13. 11 million reasons over the next two seasons he stays with the sox. Pedro will likely have a full time job for Leury after Rebuild 2.0: This time we mean it! is underway after july 31.
  14. Exactly. He is under investigation, and according to the cba, can't face team discipline until after the investigation is over.
  15. the likely scenario is they would just release him. a player can't be suspended or "sent home" for an extended time without a reason. and if they can free up a roster spot as a result, they would do so. as long as he gets paid the amount of money he is contractually owed, and is not denied the ability to work, the union wont interfere. that's what the dodgers did with bauer after his MLB suspension was terminated.
  16. I wish he just stayed away like his father in law, Greg walker.
  17. Sad considering we used to get 20 tv games a year
  18. So you DON'T know this, then?
  19. The naming rights money did not increase. US Cellular paid a buy out fee, and that reduced the payments from the new sponsor. That's state money. But the deal that GR underpaid was the partnership with the team directly. The sox never got the money from the naming rights. The only brokered the deal.
  20. I'm not sure what you can get for a "presented by" sponsorship, but likely in the 500k-1 million range per year. enough for maybe a rookie or bench guy. the 7-11 deal for the game times was 500k a year for three years.
