Changed the poll.

Hope you have a good one Roger!

Hot chicks usually sound hot and ugly chicks usually sound ugly. Most of the time, if I hear a hot voice over the phone, it turns out the chick is pretty hot. I can't wait for the day that you get surprised.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:54 AM) It's great we all agree that we will look back on this trade as the best thing to ever happen. Thome was a cancer on this team and I smelled a rat from day 1. Mr Nice Guy Class Act s*** was just that, an act. His pull-happy, strikeout machine style of play has ruined us. Konerko can stay for as long as he wants, but Dye has to go too. Ugh.

You know, the X words perplex me often.

New team: QB - Rivers, Ryan RB - Gore, L. Johnson, Wells, Hightower, F. Taylor WR - Fitzgerald, Owens, Houshmanzadeh, L. Moore, Cooley, Shiancoe

Unless you drive through the Dakotas, you'll never know how truly mind-numbing it is.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Navy giving this Ohio St. team ALL they want. I don't think the Buckeye nation expected this game to be so close. No sympathy from me. I guess Navy can give teams a game, huh.

You think Ramirez is a better option in CF than Rios?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 09:02 AM) I'm more interested in his 2nd World Series Title, but congrats to Ozzie anyway. Unless it's with the Marlins or Braves.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) Please explain to me how this is true. He barely spent any time in AAA this year. He'll start 2010 in AAA unless he blows the Sox brass away in Spring Training. He may get a call up in June or July of 2010 if he's needed, but he probably won't start a season in the rotation until 2011.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 12:41 PM) I listen to mostly classic rock with a little bit of everything thrown in there randomly. I have been to pandora, but nothing new seems that good to me...not sure why. , , Buckcherry, Queens of the Stone Age, . Try some of those.

How'd this work out?

Given options, I'd rather keep Beckham at 3B. Figgins is not really in KW's budget area.

I'm really not liking my autodrafted guys though. Warner and Manning are "meh" to me; after Peterson and Barber, my RB depth is unpredictable. WR after Smith is a mystery.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) To me, #2 is clearly superior - a Tier 1a QB, Tier 1 and 2 RB, Tier 1 WR, one Tier 2 WR and Two Tier 2a wide receivers (Marshall / Berrian). Team #2 is pretty ridiculous, actually. I guess you take AP #1, Marion Barber #20, Steve Smith #21, Kurt Warner #40, Vincent Jackson #41, Brandon Marshall #60, Bernard Berrian #61 if it's a ten-team snake draft. Kurt Warner is a steal at #40, as is Brandon Marshall at #60. Haha! #2 was the autodraft with 10 teams. #1 was live draft with 12.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 11:10 AM) Even Pods is better in left than Dunn, who may be the worst defensive starter in the MLB. Worse than Soriano?

Torres is destined for the bullpen and Hudson won't be ready til 2011 for full time rotation work. Go with Garcia if he's effective.

I'd rather have table setters and guys who get extra base hits than a guy who whacks a homer a few times a week but also strikes out 10 times a week or can't score from 2nd on a base hit.

This is what I'd like to see: Podsednik - DH Beckham - 3B Quentin - RF Dunn - LF Konerko - 1B Rios - CF Pierzynski - C Getz - 2B Ramirez - SS Ramirez and Beckham will get better defensively, plus Dunn can be lefty power without all the slowness of Thome.

2010 Buehrle Peavy Danks Floyd Garcia That works for me.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 09:13 AM) My team is NOT #1. #1 as it suggests, had the #1 overall pick, which means team #1 also had #20 and #21. Which I think is a great spot to get a great WR/RB/QB combo or a RB/RB/WR combo. Which one is yours?

I've got a couple teams for you. QB Jay Cutler, Jason Campbell RB Adrian Peterson, Willie Parker, Tim Hightower, Fred Taylor WR Reggie Wayne, Vincent Jackson, Chris Chambers, Chris Cooley, Percy Harvin QB Kurt Warner, Eli Manning RB Adrian Peterson, Marion Barber, Derrick Ward, Julius Jones WR Steve Smith (Car), Brandon Marshall, Vincent Jackson, Bernard Berrian, Zach Miller One was autodraft, one was picked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) Yeah, Thomas, Baines, Thome DHing. They would have been far better off with a .230 hitting, slick fielder DHing. A poor fielder DHing is not a problem. The problem the White Sox have had over the years has been DHs playing in the field. He's saying that an older player who lacks foot speed shouldn't always be the main guy that the Sox hire to be the DH. Someone like Pods would be an excellent example of who the Sox should look at for 2010. He hits for contact, has speed, but can't play the OF in tough situations. He could be the DH, or someone else who isn't a slug on the bases. The Sox need to get away from guys who get long singles on balls hit off of the wall and who can only play station-to-station out there on the base paths. It slows run production. This is why Dye and Konerko should be the next guys sent away. With the way USCF is, the Sox don't need mashers who are slow in their lineup in order to succeed in run production.

Or that he switched pitching hands...
