10-6 with a low playoff spot.

I like pop "Arena" rock like Journey, Boston, Queen and Foreigner. I like hard rock of Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. I like early rock of Heart, Alice Cooper, Lynrd Skynard, and Foghat. I like progressive rock like Yes, ELO, Bowie, & Super Tramp. I like 80s rock Def Leppard, Van Halen, Dio, & Cheap Trick. I like metal rock Metallica, Megadeth, Nirvana, & Soundgarden. It's hard to choose.

Besides, the city is far enough away that you wouldn't see much of it, even if there weren't giant light poles, banners, three scoreboards and a fundamentals area in the way.

Or, they could have offered the old guys on waivers earlier and showcased Allen at 1b like Arizona is doing. It's not like Pena would have made much of a difference anyway; if they wanted to get him in the offseason, they could have.

Trent Edwards is a definite sleeper if he has time to throw.

Look at it this way... Chicago gets massive debt fixing/updating things that are way overdue, then makes back 3/4ths of it hosting the Olympics and has a substantial but smaller debt left over. or Chicago gets a substantial smaller debt due to day to day repair, doesn't fix a lot of things as much as they need to be fixed and never hosts a major event again. Either way, they'll be some debt incurred; but, in the Olympics scenario, stuff will actually be built/replaced as opposed to just "maintained."

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 05:33 PM) His career OPS with Atlanta is up around .850, his OPS with Pittsburgh is around .810. Maybe he just likes being a brave? Johnny Depp's the last guy who liked being a pirate.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) hmmm...and what if the Sox face the Dodgers in the World Series? That's a chance that I'm willing to take.

I'm going with New England and Dallas.

There may be few 35-31 score games this year.

Call it: "Pissing In The Wind".

Chicago better get the El, Dan Ryan and O'Hare ready for an international influx.

Great Gazoo

This is not totally aimed in your direction b-Rye, but, can no one on Soxtalk spell "Alexei" correctly?

It wasn't a trade; it was basically a release.

Beanie will be a dud. I'm calling it here. He'll be lucky to get 3 yards a carry and 800 yards this year.
