Corey Patterson sucks! Why would the Bosox want him?

I know a guy (who's a chef) who did an internship with the Frugal Gourmet...says "Frugal" used to hit on him all the time! Hope you "enjoy" Hell, Froogie!

The cubs are NOT getting Nomar. Why would Boston trade him for Clement, when the could get Odalis Perez and 2 prospects from LA (where Nomar wants to go!)?

Check out "Bang the Drum Slowly" with Robert DeNiro...it's an awesome movie. The "Brian's Song" of baseball films.

Sad but true. I don't think you'll see an African-American, a female, a homosexual, or a hispanic president for a LONNNNNGG time either.

Wood will pitch tomorrow cuz Dusty is a f***ing moron! Thank G-d he's the cubbies manager...they'll NEVER win with Rev. Dusty running the ship! :fthecubs

I say it doesn't matter if ALL of your players were acquired via free agency...all that mattersi is winning the WS and/or putting your team in a postion to do so!

And...don't do "the wave" at The Cell either! It's damned stupid! BTw...leave your damned cell phones off too!

Being a true Sox fan (pessimist? realist?), I'd bet that we aren't going to sign Mags or Pavano!

If I remember correctly, Kip Wells spoke out in the media "against" the Sox and/or he may have been the Sox' union rep. Either of those will get you shipped out of town!

What's wrong with Benson? He puts up respectable numbers for a s***ty team.

Too funny!!!

Don't equate conservativism with intelligence!

Let's go after Benson AND Meadows in a package deal. The Pirates "owe" us after boning us on the Ritchie trade.

Sully was (is) supposed to be great in the clubhouse. 2.5 mill is not a lot of money for an above average reliever...(especially when IT ISN'T YOUR (OR MY) MONEY! We have obvious holes in the Pen (and elsewhere) that need to be addressed if we are going to be serious contenders, not AL Central winners, but pennant/WS contenders. Bottom line is, the Sox have to be willing to spend money to get the type of players we need to contend.

Quayle was (is) a dumbass, but, he was 100% right about the need for Tort Reform. Way too many frivilous lawsuits in this country.

You wouldn't rather have Scott Sullivan in the Pen than Mike jackson, Jason Grilli, Cliff Pollitte, etc? :headshake

Ordonez and A-Rod are best friends; they work out together during the off-season. A-Rod is gonna make a big push to get Mags over there, especially sice Bernie Williams probably won't be with them next year.

I disagree! Colin Powell is an asshole! Bush would be better off without him!

LA, SD, NYM, NYY, and BAL will all be players in the "Mags sweepstakes"!

I don't know it for sure, Steff, but, from what I've read, deferred money is the sticking point in the negotiations. PR-wise, that works well for JR and the ownership...they can say that they made a "very competitive offer", and that the "money was the same (or more)" than what he untimately signed for...blah, blah, blah. I hate JR and his BS! I wish he'd sell the team.

I don't understand why anyone here would say that Maglio is being unrealistic about his own worth. 1) You are worth what the market will pay. I guarantee that if Mags wants a 5-year, $70 million contract, someone will give it to him. 2) The Sox are trying to screw him over with back-ended, deferred money. Why should he take that if he doesn't have to? Ordonez has put himself in a position by being an exemplary ballplayer and citizen so that he shouldn't have to accept a bulls***, Frank Thomas-like contract. If I was his agent, I'd tell JR and KW to pay us or blow us!

:fthecubs :fyou Crede!

Really? Didn't KW trade prospects for Carl Everett, Robbie Alomar, Scott Sullivan, etc., and not sign any one of them???

I hear the gurgling sound of someone's bong!!!
