Aboz, where the hell ya been?

Busy blogging I suppose...Just actually got that PM you sent me regarding Zeller yesterday, that's how long it's been since I've been on here.

I thought SIU forgot about getting the ball to Falker in the second half. For them to win, he had to have a better game than he did. They also had no answer for Gordon once he got going.

Congrats, I got the text message but couldn't open the picture for some reason.

[When was the last time the Sox signed a Boras free agent ?]

Isnt Uribe a Boras client?

He was, but he fired him after Uribe was traded to the Sox. He's now represented by Martin Arburua.

 

 

[Contacting Sox players]

I've mailed items for Buehrle to sign and received them back. The main key if you're planning to do that is to include a SASE inside and you should get it back if the player you write does sign. Some of them don't.

[Who Ya Rooting For?]

Rockies, because Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious, annoying fans I've ever seen. Their feats of ineptitude and idiocy are unparalleled in baseball, and this includes Cubs fans.

Agree 100%. Go Rockies.

Luke Winn's first rankings on SI are out. IU is 11th and he mentions a certain blog quite prominently:

Was just going to post this, great stuff.

What type of drugs was he involved with? I'm doubting it was crack cocaine.

DirecTV > Cable, Dish Network, anything else

Mackey is out on $10,000 cash bond this morning and has a hearing scheduled for Oct. 16th.

 

Unless this is all a mistake, there's no way he's going to IU. This is quite shocking to me as I've met the young man and spoken with him. By my accounts, he's a polite and soft-spoken kid. That said, he obviously has problems that need to be addressed and basketball should be the least of his concerns.

[Official Recruiting Thread II]

I've met Bud and he's a quiet, respectful kid. That said, there's no excuse for behavior like this and I'd say the chances of him ever coming to IU now are slim and none.

Blame Jason, I'm sure he messed it up.

[Grade the Sox]

Since baseball is a team game, I'll focus on the most important thing here....

 

Team grade: F-

[This year's worst]

I went Masset because anytime he was in the game, he was getting lit up.

[Official Recruiting Thread II]

Elston is indeed a stud and is underrated. He'll end up top-50 in the 2009 class, IMO.

[Good luck to the Buehrle's...]

Good luck and congratulations in advance to the Buehrle's.

[Official Recruiting Thread II]

That's from midstate hoops.

 

From what I've heard of him, he's basically got in the gym range but he lacks a bit on the defensive end.

Funny, I got an email from the owner of that site the other day asking about joining a network they are forming.

Latest word is that Matt Roth will be the next IU verbal.

I love watching Federer too, I really hope he wins the French Open sometime.

I agree completely, both of these guys are fun to watch.

[Mark Buehrle Agrees to 4-yr, 56 mil with escalator clause]

Just got a notice in my email... WHOOOO

[Mark Buehrle Agrees to 4-yr, 56 mil with escalator clause]

At least KW and crew dont have to worry about Aboz leading the torch and pitchfork brigade at soxfest over this.

 

I doubt I would have had any trouble getting others to join the brigade.

 

Agreed. garland is now the best trading chip. Trade him now. He can bring back big things.

If the Mets want to give up Pelfrey/Humber + Milledge, then trade them Garland.

[Mark Buehrle Agrees to 4-yr, 56 mil with escalator clause]

"Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!"

 

[Mark Buehrle Agrees to 4-yr, 56 mil with escalator clause]

I'm still surprised Mark accepted such a cheap deal. It'll be fun having a class act like Buehrle around as the face of the franchise for the next 4+ years.

 

Kudos to Kenny Williams.

 

Now get a ridiculous package in return for Garland and I'll be ecstatic.

Keep Garland, get rid of Jose, por favor.
