We're doomed to lose Colon cause apparently he's become one of these guys teams must have. Teams means the Yanks or Phils or Bosox or one of the ones who will overspend. That's another reason I wanted to win it this year so badly. We lose Colon. That really is gonna be a major loss unless one of our younguns turns into Pryor.

I'd love Frank Robinson.

Bill Self.

Too many memories to mention in Old Comiskey, but I do remember my last game the final year of Comiskey Park. Was it 1990 like you said? The Sox were playing Cleveland in one of the last games in the stadium and it was a s***ty game and I think the Sox trailed 7-1 in the ninth. With one out I got up with friends and left a Sox game early for the first time ever. I think it was pretty cold and the game was one of those that lasted forever and it really was a lousy game. I think I kissed one of those poles that obstructed the view in the lower level grandstand and we bid our goodbyes and left. I knew I would miss that great ballpark. I still like watching that movie on TV with that fat comic who died when they have the picnic on the Comiskey infield. John Candy. Comiskey was great when it was packed but it was sort of cool when it was empty too. That isn't my favorite memory. I remember the Royals leading the Sox 4-0 in the first inning one time and the Sox got 5 in the bottom of the first before a packed house and the place went mad. That might be the loudest I ever heard it in there.

I like him a lot and will miss him but that's too much money. Let the Yanks have him. Teams will never learn. He's one pitch from being done like all pitchers. That's just too much money at 12.5 mill a year or whatever. Have fun with the Yanks Mr. Colon.

I agree with yasny. there'd be instant credibility and respect. we might win it all with him. But I see no chance of it happening so I shall shut up.

I love CLee. To those of you who get to watch a lot of games, is his defense acceptible? Can he play LF on a World Series team? Or is it still horrific? I was under the impression it's a bit better than last year.

Cito sounds like a good choice. At least he has experience like you say. Bring on Cito. p.s. I hope DJ wasn't lying just to be nice, and tells Kenny if he doesn't really believe what he told the newspaper writer.

Good post, bmr. I'm glad we all agree baseball is the best. I always say the best day of the year is Opening Day and the worst day of the year is that Sunday when there is no more ball, unless of course we make the playoffs. The first day of spring training ain't a bad day, either.

Is this a pipe dream or do you agree George will probably fire Torre if the Yanks lose to Minn? Unless Torre is burned out and might want to be an announcer (who could blame him?) wouldn't he be great for our SOX?? Let's face it, George will probably axe him if the Yanks get swept by Minnie. I'd take Joe in a heartbeat, you guys n girls?

Good point, but I wouldn't mind seeing Robbie come back. And Jose V. did whack what, 28 hrs? That isn't too bad. I would like to acquire Guzman somehow. Is he a FA?

Six mill ain't too bad. Think anybody will offer him more? No offense to Frank, but he's not too spiffy at first base, so that eliminates the NL. Maybe Baltimore will fork over the dough.

I thought we'd all pretty much agreed he wasn't the worst manager in Sox history and we liked him as a person. Why blast him so much? Our players at times underachieved on their own I'm sure. Though I do agree we need a new skipper. But if it's Buddy Bell, we've gained nothing.

I don't think Frank wants to go anywhere. He's comfortable here. Do you all agree? I'd say he doesn't want to mess with another city.

Great point. We do seem to flame against guys we've never seen before. The Sox have done this for a long,long time, tho. It's part of our hex.

Why both a new ss and 2b? I don't think that is necessarily wise.

Paulie sure did stink, except for that little stretch when he was red hot. I thought that stretch would continue and we'd slug our way to a division title. Go Twins. Get it out of your system and win it all.

i agree we need some more speed, but don't dispute the fact we need to score runs lest we flame out in the playoffs like in the past. I say keep one of the Big 3, Thomas, Konerko and Everett and let the other 2 go.

Thanx to Al and BMR for the props. YOu two rule also.

Roman, if you can't tip your cap to Esteban, then you are not a fan I respect at all. So answer the question: Do you praise E-Lo or bury him?? I give him an A on the season and great great job. He was incredible. Way to go, E-Lo. Hope you win the Cy. What a season for this guy!

I hate to say this but it's 0-2 again to begin next season. I know the Royals and they lose to Eastern teams in home openers, they beat our Sox in home openers.

I agree it was an exciting ride. We had some great great victories, but too little too late since we got off to another horses*** start. Worst moments of season: D'Angelo, Rios, Harris. Failure to hit in big games and failure to beat the Tigers like a wardrum. Best moments: Loaiza, Big Hurt.

I want Mark B; I don't want Tony. Let him stay in Looie. Bring on Ozzie.

Let's go for Guillen. We'll be the feel good story of next year. Maybe Ozzie would even pinchhit a few times like Minnie Minoso. I want Ozzie if I can't have fisk. We don't want LaRussa and we don't want Bell for gosh sakes. Cito might be OK.

I wonder why I never get in fights on here. My posts must be too dull. Go SOX!
