I gotta question for you...."What are you still doing here" *I'm thinking you'll pick up on that reference Mike...aka Quag*

Agreed, I think Castillo would be the one to go. I have no problem getting Castillo, but to get him your going to take up more money then I think the Sox expect from their leadoff hitter. The question in turn comes down to the fact that Castillo at 7 mill...is it a better option then say Vizquel at 4 mill with Uribe/Harris competing for 2nd base and Koskie at 3B at maybe 4 mill. Thats 8 mill between Vizquel/Koskie and to me thats a better option then 7 mill and Castillo, plus the Sox would have to give something up. Then I would move someone like Konerko or Lee..I still prefer Thomas for your left handed power bat in the middle of the lineup, Crede for a young reliever (a Jorge Julio and a prospect type...maybe even a Juan Cruz if the Braves would do it, don't know if they would). I'd just get something of value for Crede. The rest of the money goes into adding another front line starter. You've solidified the pen a bit with someone like Julio/Cruz, the infield is very good with Koskie/Vizquel and then Gload or whoever at first base. You add yourself a right fielder for Paul Konerko and have Carl Everett playing first, dh, and the outfield on ocassion. If they had enough money left over, I'd add even another piece to the bullpen, cause to me that is a really integral part of baseball now adays. Someone like Percy would be awesome, but even a lesser, but still good FA reliever. That way you have say Shingo, Marte, Cruz, FA, Cotts, whoever.

Koskie would be a very good fit in Chicago, imo. He's a solid defensive third baseman with some pop from the left side. He has had some injury problems, but the Sox will likely have a guy like Uribe or Burke/Hankins on the bench who can easily spell him every once in a while to keep him fresh. Heck, he has 24 hr's now this year and he's only played part of the year. Getting him at 3-5 mill a year would be a very good deal, imo and would really help solidify this offense. Plus it opens up the ability to move Crede for a good reliever (hopefully) or you can use him and someone else to land a leadoff hitter.

Freaking awesome, I'm still on break for another two weeks, so I'll definately be there.

Don't worry Kap, I think the exact same way. I'm in no hurry to do so, plus I'm so busy now I don't have the time block set aside if something goes wrong. For example, if the boards went down last night, I wouldn't of been able to touch them until Thursday night.

I wish I had a black box. This is the first fight I'm going to see in a long time. It should be really good and I don't anticipate an early knockout. I think this one will go the distance. The price isn't too bad if you get enough people to pitch in. Were having like a fight night/bbq down at my buddies.

You watching the fight too?

Valentin sucks ass and should never play another game with the Sox.

Holy s*** Zbikowski is looking really good. The int was more the qb, but he was in the right place at the right time, but that fumble was awesome. He had perfect position and then flat out took the ball and then once he had the ball no one was gonna catch him. He looks like a legit player.

Its amazing, I was happy the Clones won, but its all good. I have my doubts about Iowa, but I hope they can pull through. I really like their defense and Lewis (their RB).

I agreed with you on Flynn since last year when I saw him play against Iowa. The results weren't pretty, but you could see he was talented despite being young (I think a freshman at the time). I remember telling you I thought ISU had some pretty good young players that could help build their program back up.

Its alright, heads isn't important anyway

Yep, it was nice cause the past few weekends I'd had almost no time to watch football. Tomorrow Bears game in the morning at the bar...then football at a friends while I do some homework as well.

Their is one in the contest board, but I'll leave this one up here too, just in case some people miss the other one.

God that was piece of s*** receiving on that final drive. Two mega easy catches were dropped and it cost them the game. LSU will take a big time hit in the polls.

Game Over LSU's QB makes a good pass and LSU's receiver drops it and it goes into the hands of Auburns DB for an interception. If the receiver holds onto the ball they are in field goal range. However...flag on the play, but probably celebration.

Oh ya, for another overrated team at this point...Georgia. Another one of those good defefensive teams that is going to get bit in the ass if they can't figure out a way to improve on offense.

I also don't think Iowa is a top 12 team at this point. I really like Iowa's defense and I think they have a very good running back in Lewis (who did good against ISU in his first start after being suspended the first game of the year), but they have to work on their execution and what not. Todays game will be a real test for them in Tempe against the Sun Devils. 2nd and 10 now with 22 seconds left and LSU has two timeouts and they are on their own 47.

It sucks Setta is gone from ND. I can't wait, this is going to be the first ND game I've got to see all year, other then the final two minutes of that s***ty ass BYU game. Stupid ass traffic school cost me last weeks awesome game at Michigan. Hopefully they play good from the start this week against the Spartans.

Well a minute to go and the redshirt freshman qb is going to have to do it again for LSU. They are at their own 30 or so and they just had a pass dropped that would of been about an eight yard gain and out of bounds. Now their are 46 seconds left.

By the way Alex, that had to of been a hell of a ISU game. The score kept going back and forth, but they were able to pull it off in the end.

Well my closers will likely be out there, unless I nkow as a fact Krod will be closing next year. However, Graves will probably be there. Imo, closers appear every year, kind of like Kolb and Cordero this year.

What stupid idiots LSU is, they make a personal foul and Auburn gets to redo the extra point.
