I think getting them out of that Metro Dome helps every team that plays them. I understand the point about extra revenue, but it comes down to wins and losses. and that place has got to be the biggest home field advantage in baseball. Especially with their secret weapon (air conditioning for the opposing team.)

Speaking of the Cubs game, did you see that pitch they rung up Larue on. That was biggest load of s*** I've ever seen.

Why?

Colonn could pitch a two run complete game and we could lose too.

No it is today. It's the day before the game at noon.

They work out together during the offseason.

I would rather have Pierre, but he isn't a bad one to have.

I agree, I think his arm overrates his defensive comparison to Maggs who shows a little of range and also flashes the leather quite well.

I wish the other rumor was true and a done deal at 6 years at 68 mill. Probably too low by his standards. This is a very fair offer for him, yet the fifth year, as discussed, could be a stumbling block. Either way, I am still pretty confident a deal gets done. Although, for the JR haters out there, this is hardly a cheap contract offer.

Straight up swap?

I definitely like his defense, but there are people in other forums who believe he flat out sucks. I don't understand it. Even when it isn't pretty, he gets it done.

Maggs isn't talking about a contract he signed.

Lol.

Watch out Steff, I heard she has her eyes on Cotts.

We talked about that somewhere else, and the reason is because the second runner never crossed the plate and Crede didn't touch second. Supposedly Ventura had a walk off homer with a guy on third, he touched first and joined his team. He was credited with a single.

Maybe in the future, but very doubtful for this season.

That almost makes me feel bad for him, except he signed with the Royals. He sucks and is stupid, lol.

It wasn't supposed to cover the whole deck, which I like so you can still enjoy the nice weather, and backup when it's not.

Konerko isn't just bringing the bat, he's also playing a damn good first base too.

That's fine, Reed and Rowand can hold down CF for now and the future. We'll see, but I'm personally more excited about Sweeney.

What? If you're winning, you should be happy. And if you're happy, you're going to play loose and have fun. That is absolutely part of having success. Do you of any sports team that played miserable and kicked ass? I don't. Everyone who wins has fun, and having fun is part of their success.

Adkins is a good pitcher. But how does that make him a starter? You think you can just make a guy a starter. You have to be stretched out, and you have to have the make up. Right now, Adkins has the make up of a solid reliever. Don't make him more than what he is. You can't just up and say, this guy should start.

I would rather see Lee in the two spot over Olivo, even though Olivo looks a lot better this year so far. I don't mind Jose in the two spot, he's going to come around, and the guy can bunt, which we'll be seeing soon enough I'm sure. Happy Easter everyone!

Part of the reason they are not hitting well, is because we're pitching well. Although, they've had opportunities that they have not capatilized on. Again though, that is due partly to good pitching and defense in general. If you want to go with dumb luck, that's fine, I'll take that too.

You could tell he was retaining water in the before picture. Steroids.
