Braylon is Miami bound. Rogers is falling and the Bucs are going to take him.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 07:01 PM) They wear a Camo jersey every year for a few games to honor the US Servicemen. San Diego is a big port town and has a Naval base. Ya, they are a huge naval community. Also I happen to think the jerseys look pretty badass.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) I was talking with Barons Hitting coach Gregg Ritchie and Wally Came up and he said that Wally now works with a company that runs charter fishing boats. I can't believe the fall he has taken since Nov 2nd when he was on top of the world. Ritchie was the new D-backs hitting coach until Wally was fired. I think he will be coaching again soon/ He's a hell of a coach. But he's kind of been a PR nightmare with the Dbacks, but also with the Sox and his supposed phone call to Gardy telling him he hoped they'd beat the Twins or whatever so then he could get the job. Someone may get gutsy and hire him if all things are going wrong in a sense. But I can't see him getting a big league job. Still he should be at least managing somewhere in the minors. Another guy that will be back next year is Bobby V. You know someone will give him a job when he comes back from Japan.

Actually I love the Twins announcers. They were talking about something during the Sox-Twins game a few days ago and I fell off the couch rolling in laughter. They were just totally hillarious.

Brad Biggs has been saying JA is desperate to move down. He rates Mike Williams over Braylon Edwards and thinsk he could maybe move down and grab Williams. Thats obviously risky, but the Bears have quite a few guys that rate similarly. On a sidenote, I've seen a few places say that the Skins would include Rod Gardner with the 2 1st to sweeten up the deal. I don't know what you guys think, but I'd be damn tempted. You get two 1st rounders which could go to Derrick Johnson or Williamson/Williams or Benson (one of those guys will be there at 9) and then you can go with Heath at 25 and go RB or Kicker in rd 2. Personally I think Nugent would look pretty darn good. Plus you have Gardner and Mushin which is a pretty big upgrade over last years receiving core.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) No suprise Mccaskey's do not want to pay a 15 mil signing bonus to anyone. Its actually the smarter thing to do if you rate all of those guys on an even talent scale. think Edwards is the one guy they have off the charts and if he's there the Bears probably wouldn't move down. However if the Skins make that deal the Bears will jump and will grab one of the RB's or Williamson. I've seen many places that say Williams could slide and its really not that easy of a call between Williams and Williamson.

QUOTE(1549 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) I have dreamed of going to michigan, and was born and raised a Michigan football fan. I applied in October...6 months later, a letter from the university. I'm on the extended waiting list. This means that I will be attending Rutgers University next fall. Home of the first, and the worst, football team in America. I am not completely disappointed, I get to stay in New Jersey, and my two best friends and my girlfriend are attending Rutgers (I've heard the whole school with friends thing is not a good idea, but f*** it I'm gonna have fun). I obviously hold no grudges against the maize and blue...my dad is still renewing his season tickets. Here is to a great season for the maize and blue, even if I won't be sitting in the student section That sucks, but congrats on Rutgers. Also long time no see Rob. Hope all is well

Thanks everyone...looking forward to starting my night right, first I got to get the hell out of the office. Then its

Last years Knights 2nd baseman Bryant Nelson came from the BoSox farm system. Is that who your thinking of?

Holy cripes...98 dang. The best thing about Sean is his rubber arm and mentality. He has absolutely zero fear of pitching inside.

Whats new, I was wrong. On a positive sidenote...free hat on Friday

ROFLMAO

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) He had to pass through waivers to get to AAA. Nobody wanted him. I thought he had an option left for some reason???

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) So that way you can have two slower, bigger possession receivers, which is probably less advantageous then having a speed receiver to go along with a possession receiver? I will probably end up having Braylon go to Chicago in my mock, just because it is too difficult to predict trades...but personally, I would look for Minnesota to trade up to 2 or 3, even though I think that is the wrong move, due to Minnesota still probably needing some depth defensively. As someone once said, why hope a receiver falls when you can guarantee it? Thats overrated because of the illegal contact rules. Plus Edwards has good size too. If both are on the board I'm taking Edwards but I have no problem having two super talented receivers in Mushin and Williams.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) Saban likes Campbell and Frye a lot too, no? I have read that, and that is why they are trying to get the Surtain deal done, or trying to talk Tampa into trading up. So basically any of the second tier QBs could and probably will be headed to Miami. Cambell is going to Washington at 25 overall (if he's still there). I could also see GB take a look at him.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I didnt even Mention eddy this time you guys are obsessed with getting rid of Curry. Huh, I've long been a Curry backer. I'm just saying I'd rather have the two that have been mentioned in this thread (Howard/Okafor). They are by far more complete players.

I wonder if Dizard would be replacing Bakker or Whisler in the rotation. Haeger has pitched well since replacing Wes and Bakker hasn't pitched too hot.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) We won the last game of a 4 game set there last summer.. (remember.. when I saw that rap group up there.. ). The one with the Sox tattoo right?

QUOTE(DetroitWhat @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) There's this 2 game series about to take place between these two certain teams. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it, any predictions? I'm thinking its going to be a good series. I'm afraid of the Tigers offense. Its quite good, however I'm glad Garland and Buehrle will be on the mound for the Sox. I'm anticipating a great series. I tend to think it will be a split. Ledezma always seems to pitch so good against the Sox. Of course I'm hoping for a sweep

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) I dont know. I think Tyson would have emekas numbers in charlotte. Tyson doesn't start. I'd take Emeka over Eddy I'll tell you that much. I'd also take Dwight Howard over Eddy. Both are superior defensive players and while they aren't as good offensively as Curry both are capable offensive players (especially Emeka).

Aka he's on the Charlotte Knights and is hitting .259

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) What's this "we" s***...??? Oh pretty please Queen Bee...Remember I don't ouster people for free

I'm wrong Randy. He was supposed to be starting for them on opening day. I'm going to shoot Alan an email when I get home and see whats wrong with Wes.

Isn't he slated to be out for a while? I can't remember what but I thought he had something bothering him. Kind of similar to Lummy even if I recall. I could be wrong, but I remember something being said.

Ya, I remember Boyer saying that it would be for Fridays game. Also we need to get a tailgate set up for either that Friday or Saturday.
