Brandon, no thanking us, you've had an amazing year. Keep improving and keep getting better and their is no doubt you'll have a shot at having a tremendous major league career. Keep Whooping Ass...FS PROSPECT of the Year Best of luck in the playoffs and then again in the AFL. And remember to tell Tracey to bean a few more batters down in WS. He NEEDS that record

Well, take off Koch and Jose's contract as well, which gives you a little money under. Some people have said the Sox will have roughly 15 mill to spend in FA. I don't know if thats true or not, but their payroll will be about 70-80 mill next year, imo. Remember Koch's contract and what not come off the book, so they will have money to spend.

He didn't really ask for more money, he asked for a ridiculous amount of money that he didn't deserve. I would of been pissed if he asked for a fair contract adn the Sox turned it down, but their was nothing fair about giving Maggs a contract the same, if not higher then Vladdy's and thats what he has wanted. He'll obvious get less now, but if he's knee is as messed up as some have speculated (in the media) then you shouldn't risk a long term deal on him. Spend it on pitching, pitching and more pitching. Oh ya, get a top of the order threat and a left handed bat for the middle of the lineup.

They aren't going to get any comp picks. I just don't see the Sox offering him arbitration cause then they are going to have to hope he doesn't accept cause they'll be on the tab for 14 mill, less 20%, which is the maximum decrease allowed under arbitration if I recall.

I should make a post here, but Parque is gonna be running it, but he's definately open to everyones suggestions

Alex, most people don't know you well enough to tell that thats sarcasm, so put it in green next time

Happy BDay to one of the best ML Guru's out there. Hope its a good one Randy

I second that.

But since he was a citizen at the time it was written (as well as adopted), wouldn't that of left him as a possibility? Article II, Section One: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;

Which do you watch for political coverage? Personally I watch Fox News. I really like it. I think my favorite shows are Hannidy and Combs and Gretta. I also like O'Reilly, but he can be a bit more out there at times.

Rain is definately nice. Usually I even open up my window when it rains, makes it really nice and relaxing. I sleep with my radio on though. Usually have sports talk on, that or Art Bell.

Well two nights ago I was having some kind of odd nightmare (I very very rarely ever have anything like this). I can't really remember the details of the nightmare, but I remember waking up and right in front of me my chair and a shirt and pants on top of it created a shadow that looked exactly like a clown. Scared the piss out of me for a second or two. Then I calmed back down. I hate weird looking shadows. Only really scary thing Ive ever had happen when I was sleeping was back when I was 12, I was sleeping. My room was downstairs and right next to the door. It was more like a den. Anyway, I'm fast asleep when I hear a thud on my window. IT wakes me up and I'm like what the hell. Then I'm closing my eyes again and another thud, this one louder. So I quickly turn on the light and look outside...then another thud. At this point I turn on the light and finally get the guts to open the front door. Little did I know the paper boy had horrible f***ing aim and kept hitting my window with the paper.

Scwible...thats such a badass sig.

How about I pin this thread???

Ya, more reasons for you to dump him from your fan club Its obvious that he's growing more and more mad as the days go on. However, it seems like your in one of your Ivan and Heads moods or whatever that awesome thread was called. So Alex, get to work on some new Ivan and Heads stories

You guys shouldn't try to get pumped up for the stretch. I haven't been as relaxed as this in the past few years...I think it has everythign to do with the fact I've watched like 6 innings of Sox baseball in the past week. However, I did catch a few innings of this game to see Grilli pitch. I think I'll start watching once the callups happen. Either way, I don't get excited or pissed anymore when I watch the game, unless of course a young player does something really impressive.

I like Gloadie, been a fan of his since I saw him last year in Charlotte.

Sounds cool to me I also agree with waiting till the offseason. I like others really enjoy the offseason cause it leads to lots and lots of speculation and team building, hehe.

Awesome job as always Cheat

Kobe was innocent all along. This was a BS case and Kobe definately f***ed up in this whole thing. He obviously wasn't the character individual everyone made him out to be, but this girl was a freaking whore who was trying to get fame.

That actually sounds pretty cool.

Don't worry, I'm already signed up

Sure there was...the World is Full of Phonies and that message still holds true

Hamilton is the least hailed politician I've ever seen, yet he deserves so much stinking credti towards the whole capitalism system that the US uses. If he didn't have his rash temper, he probably would of ran, cause he would of been eligible, considering he was a U.S. citizen at the time the constitution was written. Remember, way back then, everyone was essentially an immigrant and if I recall Hamilton tried on more then one ocassion and I think he was VP a few times. However, numerous politicans hated him and I mean hated him. I know Hamilton was very involved when Washington was in office, I Thought he was the V.P. but someone else could check me on that.
