FAMILY GUY

I got one....Hey Ozzie how's that ESL class going for ya? Is it me or am I the only person who can never figure out what the hell he is saying...?

All of you must get in line behind Steff and I before submitting any questions...

Fact of the matter is that Kelly Wunsch doesn't like Kenny Williams.

 

I spoke to him several times at the park this past year and while he never came out and said that, the comments he made gave me the sense that there was bad blood.

 

Something definitely happened, but who knows if it will ever come out.

Alex.. I don't like a lot of people.. not because anything happened to make it that way.. I just don't care for them.

 

Kelly swears there's never been an incident. I believe him.

I'm just reporting the sense I got from him.

 

We're both entitled to our opinions, I respect yours greatly.

 

Bottom line is I think we lost a class act here who could've still helped this team.

My honest question I want to ask...

Why on earth did we aquire Posednik when there must of been someone, anyone who had more consistant minor league numbers available. All of him minor league stats point to a one year wonder why are we gambling our season on him as our "lead off" hitter.

Also who are we going to trade to make room in the pen since we need at least one long man (who we don't have room for now)

Cotts or Adkins will be the longman.

 

Or perhaps Munoz if he throws well in ST.

How about.... are we going to have to worry about seeing Robbie Alomar back again??

If you must know.. I was talking about Heads, not you. :chair

I wanted to know why they thought Harris was the answer to all of our problems when he had not done poop in the minors.

Wait, so what happend?

Sorry for making a new topic, but the search wasn't working for me, and I wasn't going to search for a thread. Here's a new article from Chisox.com saying who will all be there. It mentions Buerhle, Dye, and Thomas won't be there and it mentions why...

 

White Sox to appear at SoxFest

Expansive list of current and former players to attend

By Scott Merkin / MLB.com 

 

CHICAGO -- The "all for one," team-first approach preached by White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen apparently has found its way to the 13th annual SoxFest.

The most expansive roster of current players will be in attendance from Friday, Jan. 14 through Sunday, Jan. 16, along with somewhere between 10,000 to 12,000 ardent White Sox supporters, during the course of the weekend at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on 151 E. Wacker in Chicago. The list of players who have committed include all but two starters and two of the top pitchers from the starting rotation.

 

Players scheduled to attend are Jon Adkins, Joe Borchard, Jamie Burke, Neal Cotts, Joe Crede, Ben Davis, Carl Everett, Jon Garland, Ross Gload, Willie Harris, Cliff Politte, Aaron Rowand, Freddy Garcia, Juan Uribe and Scott Podsednik. Paul Konerko, who missed last year's SoxFest because he was getting married, returns for 2005.

 

Both Jermaine Dye and Mark Buehrle have personal responsibilities and family commitments that won't allow them to make the trip to Chicago. Frank Thomas, possibly the most well-known player in White Sox history, also will not be in attendance as he continues rehabilitation following October surgery on the fractured navicular in his left ankle.

 

"We did hear from Frank, and he won't be traveling," said Christine O'Reilly, the White Sox's director of advertising and community relations, who also mentioned that newly-acquired reliever Dustin Hermanson had yet to be confirmed.

 

"Often times, fans like to meet former players (at this event)," O'Reilly added. "Since we have so many current players coming, we really wanted to take advantage of their interest and feature the current team."

 

Of course, local White Sox dignitaries and old standouts such as Minnie Minoso, Bill Melton, Moose Skowron, Billy Pierce, Carlos May, Ron Kittle and Kevin Hickey will be in attendance. Roland Hemond also is scheduled to make the journey from the warmth of Arizona to the frigid conditions of Chicago.

 

The White Sox's past greatness truly will be represented by special guest and current St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa, who led the "Winning Ugly" crew from 1983 to the American League West title. LaRussa will take part in a seminar Saturday and sign autographs for a $5 donation per signature to his Animal Rescue Foundation, before leaving for St. Louis and the team's own fan weekend.

 

Key members of that 1983 squad, such as hitting coach Greg Walker and bench coach Harold Baines, are now part of Guillen's staff. Tim Raines is also scheduled to make his first appearance as the team's new first base/baserunning coach.

 

But this weekend has more than just players and seminars. For the first time in the event's history, fans will be able to buy individual game tickets at SoxFest. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. CT during the opening Friday of the festivities.

 

"Anyone who is coming to SoxFest and wants to pick up tickets can do it right there," said O'Reilly, who mentioned the entire sales staff would be on hand to also handle interest in the nine, 13 and 27-game ticket packages, as well as full-season tickets. "We want to incorporate the convenience factor for guests joining us at the hotel during the weekend."

 

A weekend pass costs $40, while individual tickets are $15 for Friday and Sunday and $20 for Saturday. The weekend hotel package at the Hyatt includes SoxFest tickets, and more information can be obtained by calling the SoxFest hotline at 312-565-0769.

 

SoxFest begins at 5 p.m. Friday and runs until 9 p.m., followed by a 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule Saturday and a 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. day of events to close things out Sunday.

 

"Martin Luther King's birthday is that following day," said O'Reilly with a laugh. "So, you can have fun all weekend at SoxFest and recover on Monday."

 

Southpaw, the team's new mascot, makes his first appearance at SoxFest, as will some members of the Chicago Bandits professional softball team. The players will run skills clinics, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, but pitcher Jennie Finch will not be available. Finch, a fan favorite, and Arizona pitcher Casey Daigle, her fiancée, are getting married during that particular weekend.

 

Kids corner and the very popular Garage Sale also return. Interactive displays will be open to the public, including the recreation of a portion of the White Sox locker room so fans can take pictures

 

Of course, the question-and-answer sessions with general manager Ken Williams are part of the schedule once again as one of SoxFest's most popular staples, giving fans a chance to voice their thoughts on the direction of the team. Faithful supporters who make SoxFest a regular excursion should not mark this same weekend on their calendar for 2006.

 

If possible, the White Sox will return to their regular spot at the end of January.

 

"There was a challenge with the hotel, so this didn't end up on our regular weekend," O'Reilly said of SoxFest, which usually finishes up on Super Bowl Sunday.

Sweet JOE B can be there, I make sure I take a crap b4 I go there so he can sign my s***..
