Are the Angels the best offensive team in post-season history? I've heard this brought up on talk radio the past week or so and I wondered what everyone else thought? Me, I'm bias towards the Angels and I haven't watched baseball as long as some of the others on this board, but I can't remember a team having better offensive output during the playoffs. I'm not calling them the greatest offensive team in history, but to me their postseason team is their.

Here's an update on the White Sox prospects who are playing in the Arizona Fall League. The Sox have five players and they all play for the Peoria Javelinas. Tim Hummell - 2nd Baseman He's hitting .190 in 13 games and has just one rbi. It doesn't look like he'll live up to his hype and right now I doubt he'll make the show. Gary Majewski - rhp He's 1-0 with a 2.77 era in eight games. He's pitched 13 innings, striking out 11. He does have seven walks. Dave Sanders - lhp Sanders is 4-0 with a 0.57 era in 13.1 innings of work. He's struck out 10 walking just 3. Josh Stewart - lhp(Starter) Stewart is 1-0 with a 0.52 era in 17.1 innings of work. He's struck out 15 walking five. He's made 4 starts and has appeared in five games. Joe Valentine - rhp Valentine is 0-0 with an era of 9.00. He's pitched in just 3 games going a total of 3 innings.

It looks to me like the Mariners are getting a good deal. Winn is a very solid top of the order hitter and should excell hitting in the two slot behind Ichiro. I don't know why the Devil Rays would give up their best player for a manager that is great, but it isn't like he can do anything with the lack of talent the Rays have. I'll tell you one thing, if Sweet Lou does something then I'll give him a whole lot of credit.

He's going to become the youngest manager in the majors at the age of 34. I guess they need someone that will be their a long time because the Indians have a lot of things left to do, although they did make some good trades late in the season that brought in some good prospects. Wedge is younger then Ellis Burks and Omar Vizquel, lol.

I dunno, he could be a decent peanut vender. Its not like he'd hurt anyone with his lethal fastball

Well it started with Foulke ,but eventually it turned into Foulke leaving cause JR was cheap and we all know how much people like talking about JR.

I don't think this move surprised anyone and I'll try to write something up on the main page in a bit, when I get some free time at work or once I get home from it tonight.

I don't think he's going to stick in the NFL though cause he looked completely lost yesterday as well as in the preseason, but I will give the guy a shot, it isn't like were playing for the superbowl.

The A's are most likely going to let Tejada go considering their attendance woes have continued despite them constantly putting out a winner. I agree with you though, the Angels and Sox are comparable teams. The difference is the Angels added the couple veteran pitchers and they didn't strike out much and were very good on the basepaths and used tons of hit and runs. I think our Sox team can play a lot like that Angel team with a little more pop.

It was an awesome series. I'd talk more about it, but its time for me to watch the Sopranos. Don't worry, I'm still a Sox fan first, but the Angels are second.

He probably did now that you mention it. :puke

Ya, that can be done in a seperate deal. The Marlins don't want salary. I'd also give them Willie Harris and a lesser prospect like Matt Ginter, but i don't think they'd fall for that. Maybe Harris, Ginter, and MJ.

Your right, I can't get over the fact that this was the worse called game I have ever seen. We made hte Vikings defense look like the greatest defense in the NFL. We could barely muster 100 yards of freakin offense. Now that my friends is freakin pathetic.

Castillo and Jimenez at the top of the lineup would be lethal. Also, I will not part with Olivo, he's the only thing we have that I can stand watching when it comes to catcher. I want to keep Rauch too, cause I think he'll be better then Penny. I'd probably do Wright for Castillo though.

Paychecks make it easy. You aren't missing much out here in Cali other then tons of bandwagoning Angel fans. They are getting as popular as the Lakers out here.

I think he's going to retire after the Philly game and no I'm not kidding. I'm assuming he'll get hit pretty hard and the Bears will eventually get Burris out their and then Chandler will call it a career. No reason to let him get hurt when we aren't playing for anything. Look for the Bears to sign Anthony Wright or maybe try to get Hasslebach or Huard if they are on the practice squads. Another guy, maybe Woodrow Dantzler or Curry.

Here's what will help the Bears, getting back to Soldier Field cause it will mean its next year and we'll have an entirely new coaching staff.

I think its obvious that our entire coaching staff will be gone in the offseason. Jauron will go to the Bengals and Nick Saban will come to the Bears. Saban is a great defensive mind and he will bring in veteran guys to run the coordinator positions and we will be back. I thought it was fun watching Burris. Ya he sucked, but he did some running, and threw a couple beautiful balls that were dropped. He also looked absolutely ugly, but hey, down that much, I had to just laugh.

Hey Hey Hey He's far from the owner of the century. Of course Jr could handle things better. Lets be honest the guy is a jackass, look at the comments he's made. Of course, now he's shut up and he's just plain old cheap. I would love getting someone like Mark Cuban, trust me on that. He's my favorite owner ever.

I agree, its really hard to judge anyone that works under JR cause you just don't know what is their work and what is JR's. I mean, would KW of made the Ritchie deal if he could of simply went out and spend 6 million or so on a pitcher? I don't think he would of, but instead, KW is told to find a diamond in the rough and it makes it so much harder to do. Not sympathizing the move cause it was a terrible one and KW deserves the heat for making it.

Would I do it....Simple...Yes Would it cost us, simple...yes It would cost us Lee, Rauch, Harris and another prospect or so I'd assume it would and I don't think I'd do that. I don't think Penny solves anything for us, so I would stay away from to be honest. I would trade for Castillo and let Jimenez play short, but that isn't going to happen either.

This is another guy I wouldn't mind seeing the Bears draft. He was always thought of as a stud when USC recruited him and he's put up very good numbers his entire career at USC, although he's always overlooked cause he's made some mistakes in games and hasn't grown enough. Still, i tend to put some of that fault on all the head coaches he's had to work with while at USC. He does have a strong, accurate arm, decent speed and a lot of talent and to me he'd be a sweet pickup in the 3rd or 4th round.

I tend to agree with you. I've also heard some people talking about bringing in Elvis Grbac out of retirement to see what he can do. He's probably feeling pretty fresh right about now. Another qb I like, but we won't be able to get is Brock Huard who is now in Indianapolis.

I thought the same thing, but part of me just can't doubt the Angels. This entire series has seen so many comebacks. I'm with Mike though, you can't blame Nen. They weren't even his runners all you have to do is hit 2 sac flies and you get two runs.
