I agree 100% with Mariotti's column today. WE cannot spend the Ordonez money on multiple mediocre players; we need to use it on 1-2 great ball players!

It is my understanding that Yusuf is an alleged (financial) supporter of Hamas. Regardless, I always thought his music sucked, therefor we should keep him out of the US for that!

I've heard a lot about Pizza DOC but haven't been there yet...tell me about it, please!

Do you think there are enough Handicapped Parking spots at the Paralympics?

Why would you think he'd be any better in the a.m.? He's a f***ing moron!

I always support the American League team that gets into the Series. As long as the cubs DON'T win it, I don't care who does.

Read mariotti's column in today's (9/23) SunTimes!!!

Took the words out of my mouth. Ozzie sucked, and was one of the dumbest ball players I have ever seen. How many times did we see that idiot try to advance from second to third on a groundball to the shortstop? Or, how many times did we see him try to get a guy at home when the opposing team had 1st and 3rd (with < 2 outs) and the grounder was hit to him?

Amen. She has no musical talent whatsoever. I say she's gonna try to salvage her "career" with a Playboy shoot within the next 2 years.

BUffalo Joe's chicken wings...mmmm!

Thanks, Scottie!!! Now, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

I always liked Lamar Johnson (1B). Played in the 70s - 80s. I believe he was a career .300 hitter.

Go Heels!!!

Who would you say is/was the most underrated Sox player that you have seen play?

Casey Stengel, Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, etc., none of them could have won with the "suckfest" that is the 2004 Whitesox.

Sox win, Cubs lose, Canes win, DeLaHoya loses!

Tecate kicks ass! Check out Dos Equis Lager (green bottle). It is freakin' awesome.

Jason Varitek (BOS) and/or Mike Metheney (STL) would be definite upgrades at Catcher. Or we could trade for Jason Kendall, but he makes a LOT of $$$.

Miller High Life..."The Champagne of Beers"!

I really can't argue with anything you've said. However, look at the Yankees for example. I know that no one can compete with their tv deal, and that gives them a huge leg up on the competition, but, they haven't really been built through the draft, and they are in WS contention every year. The same is true of the Cards, Giants, Bosox, Braves and Angels. Free agency may be a "crutch", but it is a very valuable one, and I feel the Sox are doing their fans a disservice by not making better use thereof!

Bottom line...we are not as talented as the Twins. Even if we did win the division...who cares?! We'd have gotten pounded in the 1st round of the playoffs anyway. With everyone healthy we not nearly as talented as the Yanks, Bososx, A's, Angels, or Twins. We just don't have that much talent!

You are right...I don't know this to be a fact, I am making a semi-educated guess. But here is what I do know to be a fact...the Sox have only been WS contenders ONE TIME since JR and his partners took over the team (and that was in the strike shortenend year that JR most likely killed!). They have been mediocre (at best) every other year of JR's tenure. Obviously, his way is not THE way! JR and ownership do run the organization as cheaply as possible. Why do you think they have never hired a manager who had prior major league managerial experience? Do you think Ozzie was the best managerial candidate? Or was he the cheapest candidate? Same for KW, best candidate or cheapest candidate?

Maybe...but the truth is, they have made a substantial amount of money from owning the team...they need to reinvest some of it to improve the product on the field. If not, then I NEVER want to hear JR talk about how he'd trade all 6 Bulls' Championships for one World Series championship. He needs to stop pissing on our legs and telling us it's raining!

I'd start him in CHI, ahead of Crede!!!
