QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:07 AM) One of the guys here mentioned they can put Frank Thomas on the 60 day DL and that would also clear a spot on the 40 man. I wouldn't have problem with that either. At the same time I couldn't see a team putting a claim on Wing, so I'd probably do that, cause keeping Frank on the DL just opens up the possibility of being able to add a guy thats on the 40 to the playoff roster in October (or I think it does).

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) Guys I see can be dropped from the 40-man: Arnie Munoz PAulino Reynoso Matt Smith Ryan Wing Kevin Walker They will not pull Munoz or Reynoso from the 40.

Looking into the Brian ANderson thing. If it happens some room must be made on the 40 man. My guess would be dumping Ryan Wing.

Not a chance....I play that game all the time when I'm bored on campus and just go chill out at my buddies dorm. Old school Mario Cart rocks on a sidenote. The original as well as the one for N64 (the great battlemode on that).

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) Don't you mean Timo And PABLO? No, I never turn down an opportunity to bash Pods defense. He has made some highlight reel plays, but he gets about as bad a jump as any left fielder in baseball. Only one I can safely say is worse would be Garret Anderson who is total trash.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) He's never played in LF! He's a very smart defensive player and is perfectly capable of playing the OF. Sure he'll get himself into a few jams, but his speed will bail him out on jumps. Its not like Timo or Pods are any good out there anyway.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Where did he come from? Have I been sleeping all year? Don't worry Rex, I did the same thing first time Heads mentioned his name a few weeks back. He got promoted a while back IIRC and basically hasn't pitched. I could be dead wrong though, but I recall Charlotte promoting someone a few levels who wasn't all that grand (ie organizational type move). Edit: Got off my ass to look up his stats, I got curious. He was pitching out of the pen in Kanny most of the year and than got promoted to Charlotte. Wasn't too bad in Kanny (is 25 or so). Had a 3.70 ERA out of the pen in 58 innings and was up in Charlotte in June for a short period as well prior to today's start. Played his college ball at Vandy and went undrafted and signed with the Sox in 03.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) Chicagosports.com is reporting that Willie Harris might be called up to play LF and leadoff. Good grief, that would be a disaster of a move. Harris is a terrible outfielder, and he's done nothing this season to deserve to be on the MLB roster. Please do something else KW! I'd love to see this happen. He's a better everyday option than Timo or Pablo when were talking about a leadoff hitter.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) as soon as that show goes on DVD i'm snatching it up. UG UG UG It makes me wanna fart Good call...I think I'd be tempted to. I loved that show.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 05:09 AM) It works for me....Does it not work for anyone else? If not, I'll put it on my photobucket for the time being.... Thats one I can agree with you on for sure.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) salute your shorts was better Camp Anawana

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) everytime i see her i think of hey dude... I do the same. I always thought she was pretty cute way back than.

Try it and see if it works now? I may of gotten it fixed, but at the same time if that doesn't work, we definately need to know your home IP addie so if we can see if a similar Ip addie was banned and is causing you trouble getting on (in which case we'll correct it).

I should add, I'll throw up if they had a #1 overall selection. This offseason the Bears need to target a QB via free agency. I know they may be tight on caproom, but if that happens to be Drew Brees, than so be it. Find a way. This defense is too good to sit around and wait for a QB to develop. The time is now and the Bears are going to need to build a decent offense around some of this defense and start doing it now. Now if Hutch and Orton or even Grossman do well and lead the Bears to the playoffs this year, than I'll have less of an issue with that. Regardless, I'm not a proponent of drafting a QB 1st overall...now I'd consider it if they had a latter pick and things were looking alright and my mind could change a year from now, but I want to see a legit qb brought in if things don't work out well for the Bears. I love the potential of the entire defense and its at a point where the Bears won't be able to afford to wait for a guy like Leinart to go through his ups and downs (plus he's gonna be gone #1 overall if he stays healthy all year) and there is no way in hell the Bears are going to be the worse team in the league. NONE. In fact, I still think the Bears are right in the thick of the playoff race and I've said this a few times now. They are a better team than they were last year. They didn't have Rex last year and they don't have him this year. The difference is this year you at least have Hutchinson will a full year of training camp, you have a better system, a better line, a better RB core, a better receiving core and the same horrid ass TE core (unless Clark can stay healthy and stop fumbling the darn ball). Fact of the matter is with or without Rex, this offense is quite a few notches better than last years offense and I'm convinced this years defense is better. Although I do think they are very thin in the CB area and could be in deep crap if Vasher/Tillman/Zoom go out for an extended period of time (I've yet to see enough of the backups to show me they would be able to even come in and do anything remotely decent). I am starting to dig Wilson, seems to find his way into plays thus far in the preseason (THE LB). Right now I'm finally watching the 2nd exhibition game.

QUOTE('94WorldChamps @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Meh, Ozzie's "reasons" are usually as arbitrary as they are back-firey. The man is a moron - just look and listen to him, then watch his manage. Luckily, the pitching is manager-proof at this moment, so we're well positioned to win. But I am sure he'll run the arms into the ground sooner than later. Daver eh

Until I see Tillman, Vasher and Zumah do it in the regular season, I will have my doubts on the secondary. I love the talent of Tillman and Vasher, but Tillman was lousy last year (he's looking better this year) and I want to see how Vasher does his 2nd year.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 07:35 AM) Well, any time, how about that user id question, don't pass that one up ... Asshole, headcase, it's all the same. I don't differentiate because either way they won't make it. Or very seldom will they make it. He didn't have it between the ears, and that's a big concern with Honel too. He is not on the 40 man right now and I'm not certain they'll put him back on. If he rose from the dead, I would say life support. Whisler ... project ... yes, and it's a fair criticism to point a finger at the Sox scouting and drafting because he probably could have been picked down lower. But yes, you are correct, he could turn it around. I see Wyatt Allen all over him though ... a project with a great arm who didn't get it done. I think saying Wyatt Allen is a compliment to Whisler. I'm just not a fan, but hopefully I'm wrong and I still can't knock that draft cause I like the what the Sox did. They got themselves some quality lefties.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:55 AM) Way to steep. MAYBE put Tracy in the deal insted of Brandon, and maybe I would bite, but maybe not even then. I'd rather have Chad Tracy to begin with. He can play somewhere other than 1st if necessary (although I'd rather have him at 1st all the time), has more power, can still hit for average and is developing and improving eye. Tracy right now: .293 AVG, .343 OBP, .878 OPS, 18 HR, 46 RBI's. He only has 351 AB's and is projected over his full season to hit 25 HRs and knock in 63. However, if he had a normal amount of AB's in a full season (around 600), he'd have over 30 HR's and is just 25 years old and making the league minimum. Seems like everyone thinks the Dbacks are more willing to get rid of him too. I'd consider dealing Duque and a good prospect (Dbacks seem interested in picking up some more pitching) or even Duque and Marte for him, opening up some room for McCarthy in the 5th starters spot (and believe me, the Sox think quite highly of Brandon) and than free up a few more million bucks to add a reliever to replace Marte (who I think has found the doghouse). Plus Tracy swings the stick from the left side of the plate and the Sox would still have the option of resigning Konerko and you could have Konerko DH at times as well, Crede could get the ocassional DH spot and Tracy would get tons of Ab's. It would be way better than dealing for Overbay cause I think Tracy will be the superior player as well.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:49 AM) Anderson and BMac for Overbay? Sounds a bit steep but I would do it. I'd throw up. I'd rather have Chad Tracy.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 07:21 AM) Rowand to lead off then? I can't imagine Ozzie using Pablo or Timo at leadoff for any extended period of time. Also, Pablo sucks. Timo>>Pablo. If Pablo slaps another weak grounder to 2B again, I may throwup. I can imagine it and I can see him using Timo there. For cripes sakes he's willing to hit Timo in the 5th spot. :headshake

QUOTE('94WorldChamps @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 06:44 AM) Matt Lawton or Ray Durham anyone? (too late on the former) The Cubs will not cut a deal with the Sox that could potentially help them win the series.

Plus sign and trades are non-existent in baseball.
