If they dont deal Maggs then they are going to sign him. I cant see KW letting him go for nothing especially with attendance way up this year.

I think Sandy and Burke can hold it down for this season. After that I think they have to go free agent to fill the hole.

One more fringe benefit of this deal is that we get to stuff it up the ass of the Spankees who were after this guy big time as well.

Yeah, but last year the deal lit a fire under our ass and got us going for the 1st time all season. Now that we're working from a position of strength I think we've got the potential to run away with this one.

Between Diaz and Rauch I think we can squeak by until Shoe comes back.

Why dont we go find Ron Karkovice and get him to come back?!?

Mariotti is the ultimate fair weather fan. Depending on who is winning or not is where his loyalty lies so he can go f*** himself. :fyou Mariotti!!

Who the f*** is KW to badmouth Olivo after he's gone? That's some bulls*** if I ever saw it. Miggy did everything he was asked to do and then some and this assclown talks s***. I dont see why he feels the need to badmouth the guy, it's not like we got raped in this deal or anything.

Anybody here think Alomar and Burke can hack it beyond this season?

I like that idea a lot. Getting rid of more dead weight in the pen would be a nice plus to this deal. Watching Garcia mow down the twins in his 1st start would be awesome too.

That's what's gonna determine whether or not this is a good deal or not. If Garcia walks after this season then I'm gonna blow my top but if he is successful here and stays a while then I'm cool with it.

Agreed. I thought Miggy was awesome during his short time here and I'm really sorry to see him go. Hopefully Garcia is everything he's cracked up to be or I'm gonna be pissed.

This is totally out of left field. Olivo was probably the last dude I thought was gonna go in a deal but he's the one. There's KW for ya, full of surprises.

It's the guys making their 1st MLB start that kill us more than anybody. We usually handle the old hands pretty easily. I agree that we do need momentum going into the Minny series. GO SOX!!!!!!!

Bogan was the same way. My neighbor had a son that went there in the 80's and he says it was much the same way. There was a group of parents called the "Bogan Broads" who fought like hell to keep the blacks out of there and for a while they were quite successful, that is until their kids graduated and they saw the writing on the wall and moved away. Now the area around there is filling up with Arabs.

I want Magglio to stay but if the price is too high then go with Andrew Jones. If he says no to 5/70 mil then he can leave for all I care. I'm sick of players whining about money.

Because it's funny and it makes Flubby lovers mad. What more do you want?

Dude, I know but that was just so awesome because it made Flubbs fans everywhere angry, it made Jay Mariotti wet his pants in the papers and most of all he stuck it to one of the most hated people who plays for that other team on the N. Side.

I'm going with Ortiz because he can get it done and the pricetag wont be quite as high as Garcia's

I think we can both agree that Curie has always been a s***hole. All of my memories of the place involve driving by there down Archer Ave or Pulaski Rd around 2:30 in the afternoon and seeing young assclowns flashing gang signs, defacing the bus shelter along Archer Ave and causing general chaos before boarding the bus or the "L" and heading back to whatever s***hole neighborhood they came from. I really dont know anything about Hubbard except where it's located, I was just giving you s***.

Awww Did da widdle baby get his timing messed up??!?!? Go wipe your nose shut the hell up biatch!!!!

Hockey does kick ass but cause of men like Bill Wirtz and Gary Buttman it's on the verge of not even being a major sport anymore.

Who cares anyway. Every time there's talk about the Sox doing a deal someone says the Spankees are gonna try for the same guy we're after. That's getting older than a redwood tree. Enough already.

We have a farm system that is deep as hell. If we can get a top starter in here for 1 or 2 of them then how can you not do the deal?

This was a statement made to the cops by the guy after he got picked up.
