Your "average" pitcher won 21 games last year, was an all star and a Cy Young candidate. I'd like a whole staff of "average" pitchers like Russ Ortiz!

Right on, Apu!!!

Yeah...I'd rather have Clemens and Randy Johnson too. Reinsdorf is not gonna let KW spend the kind of money these players would cost us. Dream On!

It's nice to dream, fellas! Mayber we should throw in Crede, and get Chipper too! :headshake

Especially if you have velour seats!

Sexual "indiscretions" , or whether a candidate smoked pot while they were in college has nothing to do with whether or not an individual makes a good President, Senator, whatsoever! The sooner we as Americans get this through our (Puritanical) heads, the better off we will be!

Cuz no one cares what happenned 90 years ago, what matters is what we've done in the last 20 or so years...NOTHING!!!

Don't worry Republicans! The rich people are gonna do just fine! Vote 4 Bush! :headshake

Roll call! Bush...Scum bag Cheney...Scum Bag Rumsfeld...Scum Bag Powell...Scum Bag Ridge.... You get the picture!

Absolutely right! And we have a huge series coming up with the Twins. It is possible that we can be 8-9 games behind Minny if the Sox don't "right the ship" in a hurry!!!

The Sox NEED pitching help! Nobody is going to give away pitching for nothing. I'd love to think we could get Freddie Garcia or Russ Ortiz by offerring Mike Jackson or Cliff Pollitte, but, in the real world, that isn't gonna happen. Except for the last start, Rausch has shown absolutely nothing...if we have to trade him, who cares? Same with Borchard. If they go on to other teams and become stars, good luck to them. We need to "replace" our 4th AND 5th starter spots, AND everyone in the Pen except for Shingo, Cotts, Wunsch (when healthy) and Marte. We have Anderson, Sweeney, Borchard and Reed in our system, this isn't softball, we cant use 4 outfielders, especially when we have Lee, Rowand, and hopefully Ordonez, (that makes 6-7). So, someone has to go. I don't know about you, but, I don't want to wait through another rebuilding era. I want to go for it NOW! Howver, IF we blow the series with the Cubs (which is very probable now that Felix Diaz is starting vs Zambrano) and then the following series vs the Twins, we may have to "blow up" the team. If we fall 7+ games out by the all star break, we are done! Then we can become "sellers" instead of "buyers".

The answer is...KERRY! Is it preferable to have a Supreme Court that would do away with civil rights and personal freedoms, and maybe expand on the Patriot Act? Do we need more FCC censorship? First of all, the "right to bear arms" is not going anywhere; the NRA will see to that. Second, once again, why does (should) it bother you (or anyone else) if gay couples want to get married? How does that affect you? Does it "desecrate" the "sanctity of marriage"? If so, do tv shows like "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?", "Who Wants to Marry a Midget?", "Joe Millionaire" etc., offend you as well? Third, and most importantly, why should an old, rich, white conservative (probably male) be able to tell women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies? That makes no f***king sense whatsoever!

BrandoFan...Please explain how (why you think) the cubs are MUCH better than the Sox. Granted they have a better staff 1-5 than we do, (although I'd take Buerhle over any of "their's", and maybe Loiaza too.) Their bullpen is at best only slightly better than ours, we are just as good as they are at C, 1B, LF and 2B, and better at all of the rest of the positions except for 3B. They have a dumbass manager, we don't know if our's is a dumbass yet. BTW...here's something for you to check out before annointing the Cubs as champs, check out their record against teams that are .500 or above. Anyone can fatten up against teams like NY, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, etc.

Rauch outperforms Ortiz?! What kind of intoxicants are you consuming? Last time I looked, Russ Ortiz was a 20 game winner, potential Cy Yong winner and an all star, while on the other hand, Rausch was (is) a 6'11" bust.

I will give him credit for dumping Koch, but, he should have done that a LONG time ago!

Only 1 real reason to watch the series...to see the Sox pound the ScRubs (Again!). (Apologies to Brandofan, Kapkomet and the other "cub-lovers" here!)

What has he done? What is he trying to do?

It's "fight or flight"!!!

If a "poster" is going to call me a "f***ing idiot" for stating MY opinion, and another "poster" is going to agree with the first "poster" I (naturally) go into "defense mode"!

Not even on your best day AND my worst day!!!

Wouldn't it be nice to have an owner and GM with "balls"?

IMO...if you are a rich, white male, who couldn't care less about civil rights, womens' rights, the poor, the middle class, personal freedoms, minorities, social security, medicare, etc., then, by all means, vote for Bush. On the other hand....

Nah...I feel great today. The sun's out, my family's healthy, and the Sox are on the verge of pounding the Cubs (AGAIN!). I just don't like being called a "f***ing idiot", especially by those who are obviously intellectually inferior to me.

I'd wouldn't mind seeing the Bulls trade Chandler to Detroit for Darko Milicic!
