I'm probably not the one you talk to regarding picnic outings, but just give us a ring 232-8811 and say you're interested in planning a picnic outing for your company. Then they'll direct you to the ticket office. If you are coming to the park HSC leave me a message so maybe if I have time I can stop by and say hello! I'll make sure the kids that work for you are also treated fairly well. CWSOX45

CubKilla- You must be referring to Jake the Diamond Dog. Yes we do, he's still here. In fact Jake is here for the first four games of the homestand July 21st-24th. I can't wait to see him! CWSOX45

March 23, 200422 yr great book! billy beane makes kenny look rediculous. No he doesn't. He basically said he made 2 bad moves, and really only one of them was(taking Ring over Blanton). We got Olivo in the Bradford deal, and while Olivo is pitiful now, he should blossom into a pretty good hitter as he matures and has a cannon on his arm. Bradford is a solid middle reliever.
March 23, 200422 yr Damn, this thread is OLDDDDDD. But i was never part of it, and I finished the book about a mounth ago, and really enjoyed it. Its also cool to see some of those guys out at Kane County now. I will be working there this summer, along with CWSOX45, so it should be a good time i dug it up from july of last year. i finished the book and thought i'd comment.
March 23, 200422 yr I've always wanted to read Moneyball, neva seen it down here bf though. Amazon my young sage, Amazon.
March 23, 200422 yr This book makes Beane look like the Ultimate GM. He's done some good things and some that weren't so good. I think he underestimated Olivo but knew exactly what he was getting in Bradford. As for the Sox taking Ring in the draft, that's a crapshoot anyway. Just because things might still work out well for Beane doesn't mean he's a genius. Beane got lucky with the big 3 in their rotation. How often does it happen that 3 young pitchers all mature and come through like those guys did. They make him look awfully smart. I think Beane's gotton too much credit, partly because of this book.
