I'm just saying we need our star back. Beltran would be suitable, but we need a star with Maggs-like production or we are f***ed. I mean Contreras and Freddie have even sucked of late.

Thanks Jim. Where is the main Sox board? I only use this one. Thanks again.

You are right about mailing in the season. Geez I can't believe how mediocre at best we are. We need to re-sign Maggs, folks, or we are doomed.

Hey, since we currently suck as a team, I was wondering if anybody had any freebies for Friday's 7 p.m. game vs. Det. A coworker is flying in for the weekend from KC with 1-3 other people. Just thought I'd check for the guy and see if anybody had any freebies or cheap tix at good ol' Cell. Thanks for your all's consideration. GO SOX.

I thought it was a good article except of course for the fact he doesn't recognize the loss of Frank and Maggs killed us. I agree about the Everett/Alomar thing. I'm glad he called us out on that bulls***.

He's revamping the system with players that are a bit more proven. I'm glad you said "a bit" more proven. KW doesn't thrill me, but he is handicapped because of Reinsdork.

It means nothing to me. We quit or simply didn't have the talent to contend after Frank and Maggs got hurt. This coulda been an amazing season.

I always liked Jose and still do, but .215 is too low. He either tanked this year or is losing his skill. .215 is clayton-like.

Guzman, baby!

How bout Nomar? Is he any good?

I'd rather have Gload than Everett, but I might be a moron in thinking that. I trust Oz. If he thinks Gload is a Mark Grace clone, I hope he's right. Rome said a good thing on his show today. How come GMs never take the blame? KW made the move to get Everett and Alomar again and that move sucked. He got no suitable fifth starter in the offseason and we remained pathetically slow on the bases. p.s. I've give up on my boy, Jose V. Hitting .217 in the bigs doesn't cut it. We need to upgrade at ss and good luck in doing that, Sox.

Damon is one of those guys I'd like to have on the team. He appears to care. He appears to be a gamer. I could be wrong, but we obviously have to change the temperament of our team. Right?

Seems like the traffic on here is down. Maybe I'm just dazed, bored and gloomy on a sleepy Sunday, or depressed we still can't prevent the Twinks from winning this division ... but do you see any reason for real hope for our Sox next year? We still are slow afoot. We have a lot of marginal players that we're kind of excited about, who frankly aren't championship quality (Uribe, Timo, Ben Davis, Burke, the guy playing ss now), young guys like Crede and Borchard who have somwhat disappointed. Contreras doesn't look like he's all that and we know all about Garland's inconsistencies, which means our starting staff still has severe Q marks. Oz we've learned apparently isn't a savior. Maggs is aching and may be gone. Hurt isn't getting any younger. My question is ... can anybody cheer me up or do we look like a franchise that has seen it's best days?

If we pay more than any other team, they will come. We will not, so they won't.

Forcing her out would be bush league. Good story. It implies in several areas she's getting the shaft.

The turning point was Crede whacking a big home run to win a game for us walk off style. For some reason our dysfunctional boys saw that as a negative and lost about 15 of 18 at home after that.

I wish we would have acquired 2 other guys besides Everett and Alomar. Try somebody else. They've now seen us fade late 2 years in a row.

Who'd a ever thunk we were a 2-man team. We are soooo horses*** without Maggs and Hurt it amazes me. We are one of the worst teams in baseball w/out those 2. We are punchless w/out 'em. How are we gonna re-make this team?

People that want to get rid of Jose and everybody else need to realize they are average ballplayers to decent ballplayers and we could do A LOT WORSE. We just notice their deficiencies cause we see em every day. WE COULD DO LOT WORSE THAN JOSE V

Good trade by KW. I still don't like KW though. I feel sorry for E-Lo. If it's true he wouldn't listen to Coop and Oz, maybe if he gets his arm healthy he'd be more apt to listen to them next year. Sign him for 1.5 mill.

I like him. I wouldn't mind an upgrade if there's one available to us. He's better than Uribe, though. I'd prefer Jose over Uribe.

Like your enthusiasm but ain't gonna happen. We will not sweep. We ain't got it in us w/out the dynamic duo.

You said: 240 OBP 260 Slug Mediocre glove (CF) Non-factor on the pads. 26yo 504-foot dinger What a resume. --It's official, in one year this board has gotten sooo cynical. I'm close to out. Not that anybody cares but geez the guy has so few at bats and you don't get behind a blast like that?? Geez.

I was only half kidding. To hit a ball that far is pretty exciting.

Mine is Paulie. He had a great comeback year and his production would have put us over the top had Frank n Maggs not got hurt.
