I'll hook it up. For some reason we can't have pics in the signature from the board, so I simply will upload it through ftp and insert it for you. If it was hosted from another site, it would work just fine, its just if its attached from our site, then it don't work for some reason. I've always told them to fix it, but they don't know why.

Sorry to hear about your Grandma LDF. When I was back in Chicago in August, I drove by it and it looked really funny. I think at worse they'll have to redo the pillars and make them bigger.

Ya, mutual options exist. I don't know the exact meaning of them, but they are their. Interesting on Frank signing a new deal. I think that would be a sweet move, especially if it voids the other one.

If he's their this season I'll get a good scouting report on him. The one thing I worry about Munoz is that he's now thrown quite a few combined innings this year and I think its to the point they aught to shut him down and give him a couple months off. This guy is going to be real good from the left side. I really think the future left side of our pen is Marte, Munoz, and Ring. Thats really nasty, imo. Then you got Koch, Majewski, Glover, and maybe Almonte from the right side.

I think Thomas already has been told if he comes back he'll get 3-5 million. I think they will talk to him, point out how they got Koch and how they want to get one more pitcher and if your willing to take a bit less, then we can afford to sign a pitcher and hold onto you and Carlos Lee for another year, this way the offense is intack.

I'm with RPS, screw the two of em. This was a good deal by the Rangers. Drese is a decent pitcher and Diaz ain't too bad of a catcher. The Tribe got a guy that had tremendous stats and is a bit old, but its not a horrible move for them either. They aren't getting anything special in Aaron Myette though.

He's a lot better then Mark Johson, both at the plate and when it comes to handling pitchers. This would be a very solid move, imo. I've only heard good things about him. Plus, for all those Cub haters here, don't you remember he went after those Cub fans I'd love having a guy like him behind Olivo.

Yan is a guy I like a whole lot. The guy has great speed and gap power. He is a slap hitter and realizes that for him to be a good hitter and make the majors he has to not strike out and hit the ball on the ground/on a line, anything else is inexcuseable. I compare this kid to Luis Castill of the Marlins and I think he's going to pan out.

Ya, if you click on recieve email notification when you make the posts and I Think their is another wayt to do it. I'll check for you. BB Code is simply the code that the tools use when you make the post. Kind of like how you can add a link, if you hit the link button and then you type into the box and it will enter the code for you. That sort of thing.

Doesn't shock me, they had a pretty weak bullpen last year. I know I watched them use Bradford and the other submarine pitcher they had. I saw them play the Angels, but both of them got hit hard, yet they pitched in everygame. Neither of them looked good. Venafro is the other guy I'm talking about. I know many think we gave up a great pitcher in Bradford, but his numbers will steadily get worse. As far as Valentine goes, I want to see this guy pitch for the A's, then I can make more of an assesment on him.

They are all funny sob's thats for sure. You could even say Bernie Mac is a pretty damn funny father, but he's not anywhere near the level of the others, not yet.

I just noticed the site no longer works? Did the site go under? Or did the NHL shut them down or something? The site always did so well, I was shocked to see it no longer up.

He's finally been activated while Boris Mironov was suspended indefinately without pay for not attending practice and has requested a trade. He cleared his locker out.

Yes Baggs...Married with Children an all time classic.

Maybe it was his nephew, I swore it was his son, but it was so long ago that I can't be so sure.

Thats sweet. I hope he considers it as long as its a quality owner with deep pockets I don't know if their is much truth to the thought that his son will take over. I know he's at Kornell or something and he's big on baseball, but no one said the father would pass him the team. Its just something many like myself speculated on.

I don't like hearing those comments, mainly because it makes me think twice about the organization. Still, today and yesterday Erric Karros has been ripping Dan Evans and the Dodger organization. This past season Karro's wife was pregnant and due to have a baby. Karros stayed back but the Dodgers asked him to come up to play the Giants(IN San Fran). Well, Karros left his wife and flew up to play. The Dodgers then didn't play him that day. Dan Evans and the Organization making remarks that he was complaining about not being able to play and that he rushed up to San Fran sooner then needed. Those type of things got on Karros's nerves and when he left he didn't thank the current Dodger staff, but mentioned how much respect he has for Lasorda, O'Mallye, Fred Claire, etc. Not too impressive, especially considering how much a class act Eric Karros is. This is Dan Evans, doesn't this sound like something so many people would whine about KW doing. Of course he's probably done things like this, not dealing with a kid or anything, but having snitches ain't much better.

I'll just wait and see. I think Valentine is a good prospect and you can't compare Cotts to him. Cotts seems like he could be real good too, but being he's only in A ball its a lot harder to judge him. Lets see what he can do in AA this year, thats more of a stepping stone and a sign of whether he's a true prospect or not. I tend to think he is, but theirs a lot to see.

None of them come up. I think its because you have your user account like and not the actual html for everyone to view them. You can always just upload them from your computer onto the board using the attachmetn feature, you'd just have to do it one at a time.

Testing

I just took your avatar out. I'm going to resize it, cause right now its chaning everything up. I am going to recode the boards so their is a maximum size and it won't let anything get bigger then that, this way no one has to worry about this. Give me a day and I should get it done.

Ya, Ian pointed it out to me. Anyone think something is going on and we weren't supposed to see those photos? either they were a mistake and it isn't going to be like that or b, they are trying to keep it a secret so they surprise the fans.

I think Hollandsworth is good cause he's insurance if Rowand isn't healthy or struggles. He can also compete with Liefer and is a good hitter and would come basically at the league minimum. The reason I don't want Borchard here yet, is that his swing is still a bit too long and he has some adjustments that need to be made, ones that would be best done at the minor league level. He himself said he needs a bit more time. Now if he comes out hot and looks like he's ready, then I won't complain, its just nice having a backup plan and I am telling everyone, Hollandsworth is a damn good offensive player and a very solid defensive one, as long as he's healthy, he'd be a steal.

I think he's pretty much signed, its just him meeting his teammates and finalizing the deal and such. Thats just me going off a hunch.

Ya, we'll sign a backup catcher and add a pitcher, how, that just depends. I think the Sox could sign Daal if they keep Lee and Thomas, but nothing better then that.
