Bush has never had an original thought in his life. He's a moron. I wil vote for ABB (Anyone But Bush)!

And the owner(s) still "cries poor"?!

I am happy to see that I'm not the only one who looks at the Sox with "rose-colored glasses"!

Guys...the Sox aren't as good as they were last year, and we didn't make the playoffs then! The Royals are better than they were, and we didn't gain much, if any ground on the Twins either. If you think Grilli and Politte can make up for the losses of "Flash" and Sullivan, you're hitting the bong way too hard! I love the Sox as much, if not more than anyone, but, I'm realistic! I'm not drinking the "Whitesox koolaid" as an idiot Chicago sports talk radio guy would say. To be a playoff contender, you need to be strong up the middle. I have no problem with Olivo or Alomar defensively, neither one hits too well. We have a BIG question mark at 2B, crap at SS, and another question mark in CF. I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it. (By the way, I was born in Chicago, and have never been to Israel, though I'd love to go!)

I'd trade Maggs to Boston for the players mentioned AND nomar, then I'd trade Nomar to LA for the players/prospects that you mentioned!!!

How can we miss the playoffs?! We have a 3 man starting rotation, a weakened bullpen, terrible team defense, no team speed, etc., Willie Harris will be lucky to hit .250 Aaron Rowand is NOT an every day CF. Valentin will be lucky to hit .240 I forgot...our bench sucks too! I bet the Yankees, Bosox, Royals, A's, Angels, Mariners, etc., are really nervous about the Whitesox juggernaut!

Or the ScRubs!!! :fthecubs

Whatever the details of the trade are...why would you want to keep Magglio when you know he won't re-sign with the Sox next year? We might as well get something for him.

Welcome Striker!!! We all love the Sox, just like you, but you gotta be realistic. They aren't nearly as good as the 2003 squad, that lost EIGHT players and didn't (really) replace any of 'em. If EVERYTHING works out for the Sox this year, we could finish in 2nd!

The Sox wouldn't sign Pujols if he offered to play here for $10 million/per. JR ain't spending money!

I agree!!!

Great! Two of the most overrated Sox players in the last 20 years!

Did you ever wonder why, when a major league ballplayer has a no-trade clause, and lists teams that he would play for, that the Whitesox are NEVER one of the teams he'd play for? Why do you think that is?

Well it could go hand in hand with what "Joey Cora" says. He also reported that its between the Cubs and Giants for Maddux.

:fthecubs While driving home yesterday, Bruce Levine on ESPN 1000, with Mac, Jurko and Harry "first reported" that there is talk that the A-Rod deal to Boston could happen by the end of the week.

Excellant analysis! However, you fail to mention that we lost EIGHT players to free agency, and did NOT upgrade at any of the positions at which we lost players. (No replacements for Colon, Everett, Robbie, Graff, Gordon, Sullivan, etc.,). Basically, the Royals improved themselves, the Twins took a step back, the Sox took a HUGE step back, and Cleveland and Detroit are comin'!

Send me yours, assbag!!!

Why take away our dreams? As Sox fans, this is all we have to hold on to.

Then again...Steinbrenner has interests in race tracks, so...who knows?

Please tell me, in detail (I'm not all that computer-literate) how to put on an avatar? Thanks. SJB

Yeah, I agree...but wouldn't it be AWESOME if Trump bought the Sox? MLB would probably deny him ownership becuase he owns casinos!

The funny thing about the story is the phrase, "if the Mets are in contention"...they couldn't even compete in the AL Central!!!

I would LOVE this trade! The only way it would be better is if we could get Izturis (SS) instead of one of the other players. Do it KW!!!

I'd bet you that in two years, she'll be known only as Brad Pitt's wife (or ex-wife). The "talent" from "Friends" is minimal at best, none of them can or will be successful in movies! Good thing for them that they make royalties!

I will do so! I respect your opinion, cuz you like "shoot-em-up" movies!
