January 30, 200521 yr QUOTE(AstralSox @ Jan 30, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Cubs most definately. Sorry guys I don't hate the Cubs the way most Sox fans do. Interpretation: Roots for the Cubs on the side or when the Sox are eliminated. (See 2003 season.) Further interpretation: Cannot be classified as a Sox fan.

January 30, 200521 yr Ok here is the latest on the Mets Entering the fray. Don't shoot the messenger. Ny media (660 the fan- Mets baseball host Ed Coleman) has just announced that Mets GM Omar Minaya has his eyes set on Magglio and will outbid any team to get him. He (coleman) feels that Magglio's relationship with ex Whitesox manager, Manuel, whom he had an excellent relationship with will help in the recruiting. The Fan is saying that the Mets are now the heavy favorties to land Magglio Ordonez Coleman said that the Mets GM has had his eyes set on Ordonez since he got the job. Mets GM is going to see the workout this week with teams doctors. Coleman also said that the Mets have the money to outbid Detroit. He also said that the Cubs and Rangers were not going to be serious players for Maggs. Last thing he stated was that Mets GM said to him that he would be willing to go 12 mil a year gauranteed with incentives that could take the contract to as high as 14-15 mil a year but will only be willing to go 5 years max. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Love it. This would be great. No Tigers, no Cubs. He will love it in NY and fit in well with all the other overpaid underproducers.
January 30, 200521 yr Honestly I hope he does to an NL team. Then he can't be a DH and the fraud can be on the DL half the year... See how much the fans like him then.
January 31, 200521 yr I don't believe that Mets rumor. I think he's already a Tiger. All things considered, I think Maggs (if he gets 5 years at $11-12mil) did very well for himself. I wouldn't worry about the Tigers either, even if they signed Maggs. Remember when we had a healthy Thomas, Ordonez, Konerko, and Lee in the lineup? Were the Twins scared? No.

Yeah Cub fans are annoying at times. That why I ignore them. How dare you :finger
January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 30, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) Absolutely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well said Funny, and I thought all the morons posted on the Chisox.com messageboard. I came here to get away from that. I guess it's impossibe to escape. :headshake
January 31, 200521 yr I have mulling over this whole Magglio thing. I was really pissed off at him at first, but then I decided that it was probably for the better. Obviously, if he would have signed then this Sox team would still have a lot of holes. Magglio was a fan favorite here, never started any problems and was a true professional. He did a lot of great things in a Sox uniform and as a Sox fan, I will always liek him for that. As is unavoidable in all sports, contracts expire and players switch team. I'm going to do a complete 180 and say good luck Maggs wherever you go. Just don't go North.

Doesn't make me a moron, just a point of view. There is always Whitesoxinteractive.

January 31, 200521 yr Didn't someone from the Tigers organization say that the supposed offer by them is BS? If it really is on the table and Maggs is damaged goods, he should take it and run. If he really is close to 100% healthy, then he should sign for 1 year somewhere, like the Cubs, prove himself, then go for the big loot in 06.

January 31, 200521 yr Bruce Levine is on ESPN radio in chicago right now. He believes burnitz is the guy the Cubs will get. All speculation again. He said Cubs will not go past a two year deal on Maggs.
January 31, 200521 yr Silverman is trying to be Jay Mariotti Jr. He does not come across well, he sounds like a guy trying too hard.
January 31, 200521 yr Where does he think Maggs will end up? QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) Bruce Levine is on ESPN radio in chicago right now. He believes burnitz is the guy the Cubs will get. All speculation again. He said Cubs will not go past a two year deal on Maggs.

January 31, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Understatement. I turned on my radio about 10 and espn was on because I was listening to the Bulls game last, and I heard Bruce throwing out his crap.

I don't care if you agree with me or not. It was personal attack. Oh well
January 31, 200521 yr If I'm the Tigs I hold at 4. There is no other team any where near 44/4. They are simply bidding against themselves. With the O's getting Sosa, they drop out of Maggs. The Mets & the Cub have a lukewarm interest at best. Certainly nothing more than a 20M/2 deal. Maggs may be holding out for the Cub. But that's no reason for the Tigs to offer a 5th yr. The last player holding out for the Cub was Thome. The offer was so low he quickly signed with the Phils for 20M more.

It was personal attack. Oh well I don't see anything personal about it. Quickman literally agreed with another poster's contention that you are really a cub fan ..... that's it. He offered no additional comment (malicious or not). :headshake You need to drop the defensiveness and roll with the punches like you did with the "Hollandsworth" dig. I don't doubt your Sox fandom even though you're neutral on the cubs, but you must realize you are a rare breed in that respect. At least on Sox internet boards.
