I don't think the Bucs are looking to add another RB at this point. Galloway went down for 4-6 weeks, and with Garner, Pittman and Alstott, I think the Bucs will be looking to add a receiver.

This is probably the wrong place, if so, will another mod please move it? Anyways, to anyone that went to the Marlins game yesterday, do they charge for parking? Is the ticket price $15?

You say that like Gload has proven himself as a solid everyday player. Which PK will show up? Regardless of which one shows up, it'll equal or better what Gload will do at the plate numbers wise.

The players on the Twins don't swing towards the sky.

Could be to up his trade value, who knows.

Ranger factor is bull s***. That stat is more based off your teammates than it is you. It's a ratio based on the number of outs the player makes to the number of outs his team makes, rather than the number of outs the rest of the players at his position make. Like you said, Aaron Rowand takes balls away from Timo Perez, thus hurting his range factor number. How can you honestly take away from a players range because he has a centerfielder that takes balls away? It's not even close to a fair assessment. And Carl Everett used to play CF and he used to be somewhat decent. Now? Not so much. That's why you don't see him in CF, let alone right or left anymore.

I bursted out laughing when I read the title of the thread. He deserved to get shot, but he should have been shot in a much more harmful place.

Ranger factor is a bull s*** stat. It says Jose has it, but he can't field worth his life. You don't play center field because you're a crappy fielder. Timo is a good bench player, the best outfield reserve we've had in quite some time.

Being consistant off the bench doesn't equate to being consistant as an everyday player. Tony G was a consistant bench player, not a consistant starter. Gload may be able to handle the bat situationaly, but if he plans to play everyday swinging at the sky, pitchers will quickly eat him up.

Guess I should of read the rest. Shawn King still sucks.

Shawn King? "Hey Shawn, go grab some bench. Let's let Dilfer take a few snaps." It's become clearly obvious why he never made it in the NFL.

No hitter in the big leagues can ever be a consistant hitter with the upper cut swing Gload has. He's not a good fundamental hitter, I don't know where you got that idea.

The Sox offense now has pop indeed, but two of the guys you listed might be on their way out. Can Everett be a legitimate 5 hitter? Even if he does pop 20 out, can he drive in at least 90 runs? I don't think he can. He hasn't shown anything this season that suggests it. Not to mention he can't field his position. And Crede, though he may turn his career around, a .230 batting average won't get it done. Not to mention he's nearly as slow as Konerko. I don't expect to see either of those two guys on the roster next season. Not if the Sox plan to win anything. It's that fact that nearly EVERYONE in the order has pop that makes their line-up poor. Trading Konerko or Lee and going with the bunch that's out there and the addition of one grinder doesn't make them any better. It probably makes them worse. I say keep your best three hitters in tact and then evaluate the rest. Is Willie Harris a legitimate big leaguer? Can the Sox overcome Crede's offensive short comings? Should the Sox add a lead off hitter in CF and move Rowand to RF? Will Uribe hit 20 home runs every year? Also, the Sox will have money freed up elsewhere. Valentin (5 mil?) and Ordonez (14 mil?) are both on their way out. That's an additional 19 million to spend on players. If the Sox can't fill the holes at 3B and RF with 19 mil, then they need to expand payroll or pack it in. Just from the general consensus, Koskie and Cabrera/Viazquel would only cost about 10 mil. That leaves 9 mil for a legitimate closer. Money isn't the issue with Konerko. I think it's something else.

Screw her and Dr. Phil.

The problems are clearly there, and it ain't Paul Konerko. They have three questionable infielders (one of them isn't Paul Konerko), a questiobale situation at catcher, and a questionable right fielder. It's hard to find a 1B that can swipe bags and bunt, and I think it's a bit much to want an order up and down that are potential 20 base threats. However, we all know the options are out there for 3B, SS and 2B. Korey Koskie? Orlando Cabrera? Omar Vizquel? Uribe and Harris platoon? A balanced order still has power in it. And I'm not talking about 2 guys. The middle of your order has to be able to bring it. If anyone outside the three, four, and five hole can hit the longball, that's an added plus. If your three, four and five hitters can't hit the ball deep on a regular basis, your offense is in trouble.

Paul Konerko > Ross Gload I don't care how slow Paulie is. Ross Gload won't ever sniff Konerko numbers. The Sox would be fine with Thomas, Konerko and Lee in the middle of the order. The entire line-up doesn't need to be multi-talented. You don't win it all unless you have some pop in the middle of that order, and frankly, Ross Gload doesn't bring to the table what Paul Konerko does. There's a reason the Twins don't make it far into the post-season: they don't have any big hitters. There's a reason the Marlins won the World Series: they had big hitters in the middle of their order, as did Anaheim.

In that case, you aren't talking about theory's. You are speaking of references. AssHat hit it on the head on what happend in the film, but as far as religion and satan and what not, you're likely going outside what the movie was originally trying to do.

What? I thought the movie was pretty straight forward and that you didn't need to speculate what did and didn't happen. Did you see the re-released theater version with extra footage?

I gave up here: Sorry I couldn't help more.

Defending FSU, losing to the #5 ranked team in OT isn't exactly taking it in the chin.

Dr. Strangelove

No, because he goes to U of I or something. The whole argument is stupid if you ask me. He's a legit FSU fan, what's the beef?
