February 14, 200620 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) I've been waiting for this since October 27th. Lies You were the most excited person here when the Sox announced the signing of Steven Randolph. After they made that signing, then you couldn't wait.

February 14, 200620 yr This offseason has flown by! Seemed like every time the celebration was dying down, the Sox would do something to stay in the news. Thome trade, Vasquez trade, Mackowiak trade, the Thomas situation ( ), and so on. Now Spring Training is here, and I am VERY excited to see the Sox begin the defense of their World Championship!!!! BRING IT!!!!!!
February 14, 200620 yr At last it is upon us-and though it flew by, I'm excited about getting to know a team thats changed by 1/3
February 14, 200620 yr No, not yet. Probably sometime in late March. Spring training never got me excited because it just means I have to wait longer for the real season to start.

Look how far A-row is standing from his best friends on the team.

I thought that too, but if you look at the pic all of the tall guys are pretty much in back and the short guys are in front. The only difference is Dye in front, but he was the MVP.

Rowand is pretty damn short, if you put him in the back row with Crede and Pierz he'd be covered by Dye or McCarthy. You have to put Aaron in the first row.
February 14, 200620 yr Did anyone hear ESPN1000 this morning when they played the clip of George Bush mentioning Ed Farmer, it was great: President Bush(addressing the media) "Hey, there is Ed Farmer.." (slight pause, one person claps) President Bush "Well there is one person in here that knows Ed Farmer." Sometimes President Bush can actually slip in some really funny and NOT dumb quotes, and this was definitely one of them. the whole room was laughing. Edited February 14, 200620 yr by kyyle23

You have to put Aaron in the first row. Ok, but I will counter that with Cotts in the back row. He is about the same height as a-row. I just think its weird that Neal, AJ, Crede are all standing together in the back row, while their good friend Aaron is far away from them.

Arow is 6 feet, Neal Cotts is 6'2"-6'3" depending on where you look. Either way, Arow is a short dude and needs to be in the front row. AJ, Crede, Blum, Contreras, they are all around 6'4"-6'5", they definitely need to be in the back.

Have you ever met the guy? He is no taller than me and I am 6'

He is no taller than me and I am 6' Ill bet you 1000 dollarsyou never met the guy. Just looking at his player card online. Never met the guy. And if you think that Cotts is 6'0", then Rowand may be shorter than his listed 6'0" as well. Edited February 14, 200620 yr by kyyle23

February 14, 200620 yr The WS celebration is not over until after the 1st week of the season. We still have the flag raising, ring presentation and trophy celebration, THEN I'll be ready for '06.

Just an oberservation that they werent standing together.
