Nothing against Terry Ryan because he has been a great GM for the Twins but... KW would have been absolutely KILLED on this board if his biggest moves in the last two years were adding Tony Batista, Rondell White, Sidney Ponson and Ramon Ortiz.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ May 23, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) So this summer I decided that I would ldo some serious lifting. I know the basics, but what some good tips to get stronger? Good excersises? Supplements? I have heard about Whey protein, is it safe? Food choices? Give me some pointers here. The forums at Men's Health have just about every subject from training to cardio to diet to specific workouts that you could ever need. I would suggest browsing around over there.

QUOTE(bkmoney @ May 16, 2007 -> 12:42 PM) nice play by crede. my favorite is the random guy from culvers promoting something adding in his comments about hte play hahha That random guy is Ron Kittle.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 12, 2007 -> 10:12 PM) Today's news is good for the Cowbosy as well since we want the Chargers LB Coach as our new defensive co-ordinator, otherwise it's Todd Bowles's job. ????? The 49ers already hired the Chargers LB Coach as their new D Coordinator about 2 weeks ago. Link

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 06:15 PM) The White Sox beat writer was on Chicago Tribune live. He said Raines got canned for not working hard enough. In Anaheim late in the year, he supposedly was taking grounders with the infielders. Raines took grounders with the infielders just about every day when they were here in Chicago so either the beat writer pays no attention at all or he is just fishing for stories that make him seem "connected." I'm not saying that Rock not working hard enough isn't a valid explanation but to use the incident in Anaheim as an example isn't correct.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 20, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) Sources say UWM head coach Rob Jeter could be named head coach at Iowa State as soon as Wednesday. Those "sources" suck. McDermott it is. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2378077 IMO...he is a great hire for Iowa State.

WHITE SOX ACQUIRE INFIELDER ALEX CINTRON FROM ARIZONA IN EXCHANGE FOR PITCHER JEFF BAJENARU TUCSON – The Chicago White Sox have acquired infielder Alex Cintron from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for pitcher Jeff Bajenaru. Cintron, a 27-year-old switch-hitter, batted .273 (90-330) with 19 doubles, eight home runs and 48 RBI in 122 games with Arizona in 2005. He played in 39 games (31 starts) at shortstop, 32 (18 starts) at third base and 23 (15 starts) at second base. Cintron also hit .304 (14-46) with three home runs and 12 RBI as a pinch-hitter. He tied for the National League lead among pinch-hitters in home runs, tied for third in RBI and ranked ninth in average. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Cintron is a lifetime .279 (398-1,424) hitter with 25 home runs and 152 RBI in 439 games, all with Arizona. During his five major-league seasons, he has played in 280 games at shortstop, 69 at second base and 58 at third. Cintron is a .313 (125-399) hitter from the right side of the plate and a .266 (273-1,025) hitter from the left side. His best season came in 2003 when he hit .317 (142-448) with 13 home runs and 51 RBI. He played in a career-high 154 games with Arizona in 2004. A native of Humacao, Puerto Rico, Cintron currently is playing for his country at the inaugural World Baseball Classic. He originally was selected by the Diamondbacks in the 36th round of the 1997 draft. Bajenaru, who will turn 28 on March 21, spent most of the 2005 season at Class AAA Charlotte, going 4-6 with a 1.41 ERA (11 ER/70.1 IP), 19 saves and 83 strikeouts in 61 relief appearances. The right-hander also pitched in four games with the White Sox, allowing three earned runs in 4.1 IP. Bajenaru is 16-15 with a 2.42 ERA (70 ER/260.0 IP), 72 saves and 314 strikeouts in 218 career minor-league games, all in relief. In 13 appearances with the Sox, he has gone 0-1 with a 9.24 ERA (13 ER/12.2 IP).

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 02:38 PM) Does anyone know how many, or which games are sell outs already, other than opening day and Sox Cubs? Those are the only ones right now... Next to go will be BOS, NY, HOU, and STL...probably in that order.

You can call 312-674-5147. It will get you directly to Brad.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 09:48 AM) Yep. Announcing it defeats the purpose. Now it's not a "pre-sale" at all. Just announce it in one of the emails they already send us, that's all. Helps them get a lot more people registered though...

Ozzie Plans won't be on sale until early December...they got pushed back due to obvious World Series conflicts. I can try to let you guys know as soon as they are available.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) Are you working in the city? Yes I'll be working in the city...eventually I will probably moving somewhere in the downtown area (near Wrigleyville...yeah yeah I know...Roscoe Village...the Mid North area of the city). For the meantime I just need somewhere in that area to stay so I can get over to Chicago, get started with my job, and find a permanent spot as this was kind of on short notice.

I am going to be moving to Chicago for a new job within the next week or so and was wondering if anybody here had advice on where to stay for perhaps a month long extended stay while I get started at my job and figure out where I want to live permanately. I checked out the Mariott Residence in right off Michigan Ave. but they were $6000+ for a month long stay. Any suggestions for hotels, etc. that could help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh that is excellent...and just a tip for you new college guys it can be highly effective if implemented with the proper approach. * Note to any college women here --- *earmuffs*

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) It's not a mix, but in Milwaukee (never found this in Chicago) you could get a spicy Bloody Mary and an 8 oz. chaser of beer. It was probably bad beer, but after a night at Wolski's and the Safehouse...it was much needed and the best thing ever. At the bar where I work on Saturday and Sunday mornings/afternoons we have a Bloody Mary bar. We give you a salted glass with ice and you make your own Bloody Mary with the vodka and mix you choose...you also get a 4 oz. beer chaser (Miller Lite unless you ask for something else).

Seems to me that there is something behind the scenes going on here. IMO there seemingly are very few guys in baseball who do more for there teams than Livan Hernandez. He is an absolute workhorse, goes out there and gets the job done on a very consistent basis, is an overall athlete who can hit very well for a pitcher, and he's a gamer...they practically have to drag the guy off the field. I would love to have him on the Sox.

Nice interview with Casey Rogowski on MLB Radio Discusses his career as well as briefly mentioning Fields, Sweeney, Young, Owens, and the pitching staff. Audio OK so I don't know how to get that link to work and play the interview but you can find the link right here: Link

The Humphrey Terminal (Sun Country Airlines, charter planes, and others) which services mainly the international flights to MSP has been completely evacuated as of about 6:30 or so. Supposedly a bomb sniffing dog was alarmed when it passed by a bag left unattended. No link on this but it has been breaking news on all the local TV stations. Stay tuned.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jul 8, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) Game Over (Lil Flip) Yeah that's a good one for a closer...on a side note the Timberwolves used to play that song at their games when Flip Saunders would be announced which always got the place fired up. On another side-note...please don't ever change your sig. The prospects can go but I am getting too used to seeing that girl from the Real World.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) The Twins? Well both actually...but I'm more surprised with the Twins play.
