I didnt even know his contract was up, but we better resign his ass. http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/projo_20051007_07sean.1d4e30eb.html BOSTON -- The clock is ticking on the 2005 Red Sox season, with the club one more loss away from the offseason But, less obviously, another deadline is looming. General manager Theo Epstein's contract expires in 24 days (on Oct. 31), and the two sides have yet to reach an agreement on an extension. Epstein became the youngest general manager in baseball history when he was hired on Nov. 25, 2003, weeks after Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane backed out of the job less than 24 hours after accepting the position. The Red Sox have averaged 96 wins and qualified for the postseason in each of Epstein's three seasons, including a World Series win last October that ended the franchise's 86-year championship drought. Epstein refused to comment on his job status, saying he preferred to concentrate on the Red Sox' postseason play. "We're hopeful of getting something done after the season," said club president and CEO Larry Lucchino, reached last night. "It's a topic we've put aside through the closing point of the season. We've had some discussions, but we're not going to get into any public characterization of those discussions. We've all agreed not to (get into specifics). As I said, we hope to get something done when we're through playing, which I hope will be late October, rather than anytime soon." Still, industry sources indicate that after tabling contract talks last winter and in spring training, Epstein and ownership discussed a new pact at least twice since the start of the regular season and there exists a significant gap in negotiations. Epstein's current contract is set to run out just days before the annual general managers' meetings are held in Palm Springs, Calif., the traditional start of baseball's offseason. Thanks to his age and relative inexperience at the time of his hiring, Epstein is believed to be one of the lowest-paid executives in the game. His three-year deal featured escalating salaries, with performance bonuses included, said a source from outside the organization who is familiar with the contract. His salary is thought to be a mere fraction of the contract given to Beane, who would have averaged $2.5 million per season had he accepted the position. The expiration on Epstein's contract comes at a time when assistant general manager Josh Byrnes may be in the running to replace Chuck LaMar, fired yesterday after nearly a decade at the helm of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Devil Rays now are controlled by New York investor Stuart Sternberg, who, many believe, is interested in hiring a young GM. Others mentioned for the Tampa job include Cleveland Guardians assistant GM Chris Antonetti and Tony Lacava, director of player development for the Toronto Blue Jays. A baseball source said Matthew Silverman, who was named president of the Devil Rays yesterday, has been making calls in the last week, soliciting input on Byrnes. Red Sox ownership may be purposely low-balling Epstein, believing that, with his Brookline, Mass. roots -- Epstein grew up only a few miles from Fenway Park -- the 31-year-old would not leave what it thought to be his dream job. But the strategy is fraught with risks. As many as six other teams may be in the market for a new general manager. Those clubs include the Devil Rays, Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies and, most intriguingly, the New York Yankees. Current Yankees GM Brian Cashman's contract also is set to expire after the postseason, and while the Yankees' late-season turnaround and A.L. East title may have earned Cashman a contract extension offer from George Steinbrenner, the GM, who has guided the Yankees to three World Series wins, may be ready to go elsewhere. A native of the Washington, D.C., area, Cashman may have his pick of as many as three jobs -- the Orioles, Nationals and Phillies -- near his hometown. The Orioles, who experienced a nightmarish season on and off the field, are expected to soon dismiss executive vice president of baseball operations Jim Beattie and move Mike Flanagan, with whom he teamed in a unique two-headed GM arrangement, to another job in the front office. The sale of the Nationals could be completed before the end of the month, leaving general manager Jim Bowden, hired by Major League Baseball last fall, in jeopardy. The Phillies remained in contention for the National League wild-card spot until the final day of the season, but speculation about general manager Ed Wade's job security remains in baseball circles.

Our back is agianst the wall this is it. Lets do this

Yea Cub fans go to the game to get drunk and party south Siders go to watch the game. I may root for the White Sox but I hate the cubs, if your from the South Side and root for the Cubs, man watch out.

Hum so my freinds are from Chicago so is my family, they have no problem with me. It's kinda funny some one from Cali telling me how to be a Chicagoan, and you've never been to Chicago. I didnt know we had to pass your test to be a true member of a city. Your right I mean me, growing up their going to school their, I guess that means nothing because I dont root for two team from my city. Shut up

So I have to root for my local teams to be a true Chicagoan? I dont think so. I like the Packers because their like the little guy. Im a Bulls fan and even though it's hard a Hawks fan. Please dont tell me what it takes to be loyal to my city, since you've probably never been in Chicago for more than a couple of days, and I grew up there.

Okay, im from the south side so dont go trashing it, cause then we have a problem. I've been to many White Sox games wearing Bo Sox stuff, I had problems a few times, but just dont let them push you around. If need be theres security for a reason, call them over if things to serious. Sox Park (I refuse to call it the Cell or US cellualr Field) is a tough place but not any tougher than Dodger stadium, where a giant fan got shot and killed last year, or Yankee stadium.
