Please.....get your old ass off the high horse. I will never take back what I said about KW, that doesn't change at all. I give JR credit though.

 

 

Your so accountable

WOW.One of the very few feel good moments this year.Danks will learn alot from Mark which makes this even more important of a signing.

Keep the personal stuff out of this thread guys.

Let me say this there is no doubt garland goes now, along with Contraras, I am one that didn't really care if they signed buerhle and still don't but this means others will not get signed and will put a crimp in what we spend in the offseason. The payroll will stay the same as this year so again math needs to be done.

 

Now for those who slammed JR and KW. For all the people swearing on the board and cussing at sox management please put some mustard on those crap sandwiches your about to eat. He gave you teenagers what you wanted, I hope a million dollars a win is good enough, and please try to get to the park more often to spend your macdonalds money OH AND MAKE SURE YOU STRAIGHTEN YOUR NAME TAGS.

 

Wow, you are just a bitter, bitter old man, aren't you?

Regardless of what happens, the White Sox have been getting guys to stay. Konerko, Mark, and even Javy took less money to stay with the Sox. Maybe Garland will go, or maybe he will be willing to take less, but regardless the Whtie Sox have shown they will atleast make some what reasonable offers.

 

Buerhle showed he wanted to be a White Sox, and that is the type of player I dont mind if management takes a risk spending money on.

 

My guess is that they move Contreras if they can get anything for him.

Ah yes, another vintage Jerry Reinsdorf hardcore negotiation is in the books. To those who said it was too close not to happen, kudos. :cheers The team knew they could cave at anytime, and really not give up that much more, and they got away with it as usual.

 

Welcome to being a legend in Chicago Mark :cheers

 

Also the line for Kenny Williams apolgies starts here---> :booty:

vested 5th year option @ 17 if traded

I admitted I was wrong, do you want me to kiss your old ass too? Quit being a grump and b****ing and be happy something good happened. Nobody is going to give you any credit for your internet brilliance, ask your imaginary friends to do it if that's what you want.

I apologize for calling JR a cheap bastard. KW has a long way to go to get an apology, mainly having an organization that isn't bereft of overall talent.

I am as old as you! and I am not bitter at all. I really could care less, but if you look back on this thread I saw so many people swearing at sox management and the moderators letting everything go. Now management does what everyone seemed to have wanted. I just thought I would call it out. Quite frankly having buerhle on or off the team means nothing to me, like i have said before the team needs to be competitive and win. Right now they are not winning.

For both our sakes let's hope KW found something in Richar. Having cheap options at two spots in the infield gives Kenny a lot of flexibility in going after an OFer this winter (I'm talking, of course, about the man in your sig).

Yes my point exactly and once again nicely put.

If they can find a taker for Contreras they should be able to afford offering a similar deal to Garland, leaving a rotation of Buehrle, Garland, Vazquez, Danks, and Floyd/??.

Oh that reminds me I need to go and change, but thankfully I have you to remind me. Your so good.

Good thing we know he got locked up, as Matt Kemp got pulled from the Dodgers game after one at-bat. Who knows, maybe we're trading Contreras and Dye for him?

If you think people are acting immature, perhaps you should start by setting an example.

or garland.

Just saw Omar and Kenny talking to each other @ the Futures game.

KW and Minaya are sitting next to each other at the Futures game.

If it happens, that would be fine. However, I don't see them trading Garland on the day they bring back Buehrle.

 

KW is talking on espn2 right now.

I agree, i just read about 1000 posts with all kinds of garbage language despite the moderators plea to stop this nonsense. That said its their board, but I try to refrain from the language and may spin things differently and many times fall to level of a teenager. keeps me young.
