  1. If I was her, I'd take the ring, divorce him and get the 4 mil for it....Of course she won't do that cause he's the almighty Kobe Bryant... Guilty or not, :fyou Kobe!
  2. I'd rather see Cotts personally, but that's just me cause I love the lefties...
  3. I'd rather be Mark B, Bere sucks!
  4. HaHa, I'm missing the sideburns, but I'm working on those soon enough....
  5. Why do I have to be A Boch?
  6. After tonight hopefully I'll be able to...
  7. It's now 4-2 with no outs, go ahead and call us 4.5 out....
  8. Minny leads 3-2 in the bottom of the 8th on a Pierzynski pinch hit single, 1st and 3rd and no outs...
  9. Morneau kills the leadoff single with a double play...
  10. Jones singles to center to lead off the inning...
  11. 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th... May and Radke are still in....
  12. I made a similar bet this year with a Cubs fan on the season series and won $20. Always great to hustle a dumb Cubs fan... :fthecubs :fthecubs :fthecubs
  13. I don't care if Gordon got pissed last night or not, he had a chance to get the save and he gave up a hit to Wells and walked Delgado. Then JM did the right thing and brought in Marte to face the lefty and it worked...
  14. I'd like to see him regain his form, but not in the closer role at all this season. I think he could make an excellent setup man for Gordon and Marte.
  15. They said from 11AM until 1230 on the game last night if I'm not mistaken...
  16. Damn straight, there's no reason for Koch to say this even if he is a professional...
  17. The Sox would lose all the rest of their remaining fans if they traded Colon off now. Everyone would scream white flag, and that we were quitting while still in the race. Being 5 games out of a team that is way overachieving, and that people are just waiting to see when they fall apart, they would be crucified in the national media as well. I think it would depend who the trade yields. If we got someone who could step into the rotation right now and contribute, I don't think it would be that bad. After all, Colon hasn't exactly set the world on fire this season... IF we got 3 of the pitchers that we have talked about I would be in favor of the deal, BUT, it would be a PR nightmare if it happened. The real fans like us would understand it though. After all, do you want Bart to bolt after the season for basically nothing when we can gain some major league ready stud arms right now? I hope I can still be considered "a real fan" even though I disagree completely with this. KW may be an idiot but I have to believe that he didn't get Colon so that he could deal him in the middle of pennant chase. If we don't think we can win this division and play deep into October then deal him. Real fan or not - and regardless of the players you get - it is a white flag trade. This franchise needs to worry not only about the "real fan" but the "casual fan". A casual fan will not understand this - because in a city that has not won a World Series in over 86 years - dealing the marquee player you got to try and win that elusive World Series will appear as surrender. The casual fan is what allows for bigger payrolls. Deal Colon and the days of big walk-ups to the ticket windows are a memory. I am just saying I'd understand the trade from a few standpoints. 1) Colon has been far from an ace this season... 2) If we can't resign him, we basically get nothing besides a draft pick... 3) If we can get STUD arms, then why the hell not?

    O's deal?

    If we trade Crede for Ponson, KW should be shot...
  19. Let's remember he is still rather young and I feel he's turning the corner as we speak and will continue to get better...
  20. You mean there's another baseball team in Chicago besides the Sox? I would have never known....
