I agree, however LOTS of cash could even things out. For example if the Yanks sent like 15 mill over to the Sox. Or since the Dbacks are picking up Troy Glaus, it means one of Hilly or Chad Tracy is available.

Cool stuff. Thanks for the info.

So reading between the lines the Sox would be dealing one of their starters in the Vazquez deal. Unless Wright is the plan B and Konerko would be a part of the deal.

Really, when was this mentioned? Is this something that happened in the past 24 hours?

Thats pretty cool. Maybe I'll put a resume in saying I'm looking for a general manager position, LOL. Ahh, I'm too lazy, meetings are only like 15 minutes from my house too, lol. But if KW addresses some needs, maybe I'll drop a cigar by the hotel.

What I think is the Sox make a push at a middle infielder. Judging from Ozzie's comments, he's not comfortable having both Juan and Willie playing everyday. This means they are probably serious about Renteria. I'm guessing plan B is Renteria and Wright or another pitcher. The rest of plan b is sit around, wait for non-tenders, field trade offers for one of the bats, and pick up a non tendered outfielder as well as a non tendered reliever or something along those lines. If they go with that plan they wouldn't have to trade any of the bats either. I expect the Sox to make some noise in the next 7-10 days though.

Wasn't the whole Blair Witch thing fake?

Happy Bday....hopefully you pitch better then I think you will.

Don't have the time to listen to it? Did he mention anything about the bullpen and/or the rotation? The part on Willie would make me think that Eric Young would be a perfect fit. I know Cheat has long talked about him in the platoon mold. Reading between the lines in RF, sounds to me like Kenny plans on making a move their. Personally I think position wise RF is the first move that should be made. I can live with Willie/Juan and a vet backup but I can't live with Borchard/Escobar or Everett.

I've always wondered what went on at these things.

You guys are crazy if you want or think Everett or Escobar is capable of being a starting RF in this league. I might as well say Joe Borchard should be the starter cause at least he'll enterain us fans every once in a while with a 500 FT homerun, in between his record strike out numbers. If the Sox start next season with that hole in right field and with the pen looking the way it is this year, its going to be a really really long season. The most important needs are a SP, RP, OF and then a leadoff or two hole hitter with Rowand or Willie filling in the other spot at the top of the lineup. This offense has long proven its capable of putting up runs, so because of that leadoff spot isn't near as much of a concern for me as it is for others. This lineup did it last season with Harris/Uribe most of the way and if they are doing it again so be it, cause the bats in the middle can come through.

I'll live, but I still think his addition would of been a big lift. Oh well though, their are plenty of other options out there.

Imo, the Bulls have a bigger need in the low post. The guard/small forward situation is going to be just fine.

Wow, Iowa-LSU should be a pretty good bowl game. I like the matchup, should be a good game.

Doesn't Carlos still have another year left on his contract?

Congrats Tex Soon you'll pass me up and can be a distant second behind 2k and his 100,000 posts

That or the Sox have never really made an offer. Hopefully they are just flying under the radar though.

Thats a major bulls*** dropoff. Cal deserves better and they got screwed.

I was very pleased with him. Had their not been a few drops he'd of had even a better game. Shea also called his best game of the season as he used some slant patterns and called more 3 step drops which was a big help. Hutchinson used tight ends, receivers, fullbacks, and running backs and was very efficient. I don't even blame him for the fumble cause Mitchell was absolutely clobbered on that play and just let the end waltz on through. The oline did that at least a few times. On the other side of the spectrum, I think its time Train starts getting at least half of the carries.

3yr 15 mill and I'll be overzealous. Mix that with picking up a shortstop, a bullpen arm, and a RF and I'm a happy camper.

I'll say one thing, Auburn is screwed. After that performance by OU their only hope is that somehow USC drops in the points and that ain't going to happen, imo. Damn did Oklahoma look good. Then again I have to remind myself that CU was not a good school. None of the teams they would of ended up playing in the Big 12 north would of been any good. I mean could you imagine them playing Iowa State (no offense heads), but they'd of probably beat em by 50 the way they played tonight. Insane defense, very good offense. This may be the most balanced OU team in a while. I do think the NC game should be a good one cause OU's defense should be able to slow down USC's offense.

A few of them think Cal's weak performance is going to cost them. Personally I'd think it would be bulls***, but thats just me.

It could be worse though when you think about it. The three teams wouldn't even be playing each other if I recall and then you could end up having 3 undefeated teams and just one national champ as USC would be playing Michigan in the rosebowl and I'm assuming they'd stay perfect.

ROFL....now thats some funny stuff. Congrats

Its gonna be interesting, but I do think Texas has a chance. Personally I think it would be a joke if Cal lost their spot cause they did take care of business, but thats me and I'm not a voter.
