I want to beleive that it is too soon to start talking about firing anybody or having a fire sale, but I don't have a lot of confidence in what I see out there. Ozzie seems to be losing it, or maybe it's always been gone and he's had better teams to work with in the past. Either way, Ozzie should go. We need a fresh start.

Do we even need to look at this year to see that Crede is not better than A-Rod? A-Rod had a decent year last year, but since he was a Yankee he got booed for playing only above average and not superbly.

What about Tony Batista? You know, just so we can always see that screwed up batting stance?

I've never gotten Extra Innings or really been interested in it, but this deal really does stink. As many know there's a big campaign going on to break up cable monopolies to give consumers more choice. As a baseball fan who wants the Extra Innings, now you are forced to get DirectTV. And everyone knows that switching to cable or from cable or whatever is a pain in the ass. What about those who have signed a deal with Dish Network? Early cancellation will cost ya a couple hundred bucks. There's a lot a bad with this deal and very little good. Should the government get involved? I don't know. Should MLB be a little more in tune with its fans? Absolutely. If I was interested in Extra Innings, I don't know if I would make the move to DirectTV. I had the Dish for two years a eventually dropped it due to its inconsistency in bad weather and the fact that there might be a tree in the way. QUOTE(ExpatNYC @ Mar 5, 2007 -> 05:48 PM) Having had both cable and DTV, I can report that outages with DTV were much more frequent than with cable. Plus, as I said, they make you pay for HD, and my cable company doesn't. Add to that the fact that if you want HD and you want a DVR with DTV, you have to shell out several hundred dollars before your service even starts. DTV's HD DVRs are super-expensive. With cable, I pay $5 a month to rent my HD DVR. I agree. The biggest reason I dropped Dish Network was because of the price of HD. And I didn't switch to DTV because of their cost of HD and DVR. You have to buy the equipment with DTV and pay a monthly fee for the DVR. You only have to pay a monthly fee with Comcast. Yes, Comcast charges too much, but I still pay less for a DVR and three HD boxes than I would with DTV.

Assuming he will be in the #2 spot again, which I think he will... .281 17 hr 79 rbi 19 sb

Since I believe Uribe will not play... Pods Iguchi Thome Konerko Dye Crede AJ Cintron Anderson

Career year for Konerko. .301 42 homers 131 rbi

Since we finally have a true back-up, we could see Toby play quite a bit. Therefore... .278 10 homers 47 rbi

My first thought when I heard about the Garcia deal was that it had to be a lead in to something else. A-Rod? Maybe. Or maybe something we haven't considered...like Garland for Todd Ritchie and a PTBNL. All kidding aside, I'd love to see A-Rod here. I think he wants out of NY and would do well here. But will it happen? I'll believe it when I see it.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) Mega Powers: Hogan & Savage Mega Maniacs: Hogan & Beefcake Okay...that's right.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) That was Hogan and Beefcake. Sure? I thought it was Savage.

Remember the Mega Maniacs? Hogan and Savage?

Damn!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) Holy spiff, now that I think about it, Hawk and JR are very, very similar. Have you ever seen them together? Hmmm...

Sweet

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) OH MY GOD!! THE AUDACITY! Yeah, and what's with the damn cowboy hat?

C'mon Joe

Sandy must have had double knee replacement. He could barely run three years ago.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) I can't believe anyone would complain about complaints about Hawk in this thread, but not complain about the thread being highjacked to talk about Hulk Hogan. I could change my nickname to Orndorff873?

Really, though, I thought Sandy was retired. I was listening to the radio and heard Farmer say Alomar and I thought He was just rambling...you know, drifting back a few years.
