That sounds a bit optimistic but I guess we can hope cant we?

If we are gonna deal Thomas then now is the time. He still has a good deal of value and a number of at least decent years ahead of him. Having him hang around till he's 38-39 means we'll get nothing for him and like it.

Ok, really putrid smelling ramshackle villages and the stink created by thousands of people who dont know what bathing is doesn't count.

I hope you're right but I see him folding like a cheap card table and Marte eventually ending up with the job.

Who cares, we have better things to do.

You should make an entry for "I care because????"

I always thought that guy was a f*****. f*** him.

The salary dump continues. I'm surprised they actually got a couple of players for the softy soviet boy even though both players they got blow ass.

Bush is a lock now. Too bad Kerry, for a moment there I thought you had a chance. LMFAO!!! 4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!! 4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!

You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run.

This whole steroid deal has been a powder keg that has been ready to explode for a long time. When it does blow its gonna take a lot of players down.

Save your anger for those who deserve it. Like the Slackhawks.

I like the pic you have in your signature. Good stuff!

Maybe he should invest some of his fortune in a solid set of dentures so when he's packing away the cheeseburgers he wont have to gum them down.

There's a lot of things that the Hawks haven't realized yet. Like the fact that their fan base is shriveling to a few idiots still willing to pay to see a s***ty team get owned on their home rink by another s***ty team.

I like that. Finally someone is optimistic about things this season.

Maybe because I dont know what the hell you are talking about. Unlike you I dont have time to follow what every "pundit" has to say about everyone else.

Well, now that Sully and Shamnov are now gone and soon to be gone Dollar Bill will have plenty of extra cash laying around. Lets take a look at how that extra cash will be spent. One one hand we have: Quality free agents On the other we have: Cheap cigars and scotch Hmmn. Quality players or cheap cigars and scotch.......Quality pla....CHEAP CIGARS AND SCOTCH......Qual.....CHEAP CIGARS AND SCOTCH.

Even if they did sign every player in baseball they still would choke in the World Series.

LMFAO!!!!!! Now flub fans can b**** about Steinbrenners money. This is priceless!!!! Seriously though, After the Flubbs just let him go like they did I can see why he didnt want to come back to them.

He won't. He'll get some aging has-been for like 2 mil a season and call that a big signing and just pocket the rest.

I'd like to believe that but I have no reason to.

Charity & compassion are great things as long as you dont have an intrusive government forcing you to be charitible through overtaxation. Reference the "greed is good" thing the reason people work hard and try to excel in this country is the acquisition of money and the promise of a better life. You take that away and people will do just the bare minimum and no more. The Soviet Union was a prime example of that. Why should one work hard and try to excel if they are going to end up no better than the lazy guy next door? Everyone complains about jobs moving to Mexico & the far east and the like. That really sucks but in the final analysis that's just too bad. Companies are not in business for the purpose of employing people, they are in business to make money. They are not beholden to their workers, they are beholden to shareholders. The only way to stop companies from seeking out cheaper labor overseas is for the government to stop it by way of laws. But that is not feasible because then you'd have to shred the constitution, haul down the Stars and Stripes and raise that disgusting flag you have in your signature.

Yep, he would have been. Nashville will lock him up though.
