I just saw The Island yesterday and have to say I very much so enjoyed it. There was one totaly bulls*** scene when they are on a building but other than that I liked most of the movie.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:26 AM) The problem is, can we rely on a Ross Gload / Casey Rogowski platoon for next season? What I like to do is give Gload the starting nod and have Rogowski start off in AAA that way if Rogo is tearing it up in Charlotte and Gload isnt doing 2 well we can always do the switch. The real question that I have is what we are going to do with Brian Anderson.... Will Dye move to 1B and Anderon get his OF spot or will he spend another season in AAA or be traded....

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) On a side note...take 1 second and imagine how many RBI's Lee would have if he were hitting 3rd on our team, with Pods and Iguchi in front of him. Now wipe up the drool. Which Lee

Hey the Pirates made 2 really good deals... got Oliver Perez and Jason Bay for Brian Giles... and than Kip Wells and Josh Fogg for Todd Ritchie..... He isnt all bad trades but yeah that Aramis Ramirez trade was just utterly stupid.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:02 AM) I just thought of a guy. He's a multi-time all-star, but because he's currently a shadow of his former self people don't mention him anymore... Mike Piazza. Say what you want about him being a subpar defensive player, but his numbers are damn impressive, especially for a full time catcher. He hit over 30 homers 9 times, 8 of them coming consecutively, drove in 100 runs 6 times, and he has a career .313 batting average. People forget how solid a hitter he was in his prime. I dont think people have forgotten how good of a hitter he was... hell they can see his contract and know he had to be good at some time... he was such a bad defensive catcher though and still is. my vote for all time underated is Raffy Palmiero

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:19 AM) Like I said before, Scott Hatteberg or Paul Konerko. Pick your poison. I dont hate Konerko as a 4-6 million guy... but right now he makes 8 million and in the off-season he is going to get more and he just isnt worth that much money for what he gives.

Alex Smith was way overated... while the overall draft wasnt that bad in terms of the 1st overall pick there wasnt really any good one in this draft.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 05:08 AM) I seriously didn't mean Jewish people. If I offended any Jewish people, I am sorry. I was doing my Ozzie talk. I will use Joo for now on. oh my bad.. well than its all good and fun

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:42 AM) I'm just saying that someone who wears a heavy jacket like that invites mondo scrutiny from the police because that's one of the tells that they're trained to look for when it comes to suicide bombers. So if I go to Britain and i wear a heavy coat i should be in danger of being shot in the head by the police.

I pretty much think Texas is keeping Young, Tex, and Blalock no matter what... I know there were Mench rumors at the begining of the season or off-season but those 3 are a strong young core.... They also got 3 really good pitching prospects... Danks, Diamond, and Volquez are all going to be good pitchers in the future.... and than if Juan Dominguez ever figures s*** out he can be very good.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:36 AM) EAT CHIT JEW ROYAL BISHES!!!!!!!!!!.....GIMME A HELL YEAH FOR THE OFFENSE...HELL GIMME A HELL YEAH FOR THIS TEAM!!!!!!!! Ive learned to live with the Eat s*** because of Nuke and all his awesomeness.... but using the word Jew the way you did is wrong and unnacceptable and shouldnt ever be used. Im not even jewish and i find that completely wrong.. you lost a lot of respect.

that would be awesome but i very much doubt he is available... he was a 2B b4 soriano came anyways.

???

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:07 PM) ^ Ginter right? Yeah thats him.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) ....AND Sportcenter. The Trifecta. Lol sportscenter isnt part of the trifecta... the trifecta are 3 seperate shows right now its a baseball, football, and outside the lines....

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Wedding Crashers was brutal. Vince Vaughn was good, but Owen Wilson was awful. It was overall just a horrible movie in general. Couple of funny parts, but then just long bores in between. In sometimes wanted to be a love story more than a comedy, which is a no-no. Are you kidding me? Everyone I know including myself loved the movie and found it completely hilarious.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) didnt they run "Outside the Lines" as the third show in the trifecta? Thats what i always saw, I never saw only two shows. Outside the Lines was the 3rd show but than they took out the basketball show, so for awhile it was only baseball tonight and outside the lines.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:22 PM) You won't find Jenks on MVP '05. I don't have time, but the Widge is on StL and Ozuna on Toledo on '04. Jenks was called up for the first time this year. I just made the guy that has that filthy ass stuff in our single a team bobby jenks.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 04:31 AM) Super Bowl Champs: Chargers 27 - Redskins 19 I see the Chargers as a possibility because their such a balanced team offensively and defensively.... But the Redskins.. they were trash last year and only got worse.

QUOTE(professionalfan @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) It's amazing what can happen when a player is given time to mature. I wonder how some of our other pitchers we have tried out in the past couple of years would be doing if they got as much time as Cotts. Makes you wonder. Felix Diaz will never be as good as Cotts because his stuff isnt that great and he isnt that great of a control pitcher. Arnie Munoz on the other hand he can have a good career in the bullpen.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:30 AM) And my point was I was 100% correct when I said Kenny should at least make a call for Vizquel because it made a lot of sense .... and yet nobody seems to care

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) Ok fine Tex. Lets stop screening bags at Airports, stop screening cargo at the ports, open up the borders and remove all checkpoints on our side, disband the CIA and FBI. Having all that around just tells people that we're scared and that we'll give up anything if terrorists let us live. I really tried to make a statement as asinine as yours which probably just rolled off your tounge and I think I still came up short. :rolly Im not saying we shouldnt have stronger security in airports especially but racial profiling is wrong and shouldnt happen.

Well its retarded.... if we interfere everyone tells us that we shouldnt stick our nose in other countries businesses.... Than we dont interfere and we are the bad guys for not helping. Maybe we should of sent help but we didnt and for that incident to be blamed on us for not helping is retarded. It should be blamed on the country that caused the problem and than did nothing to help the innocent people there that died.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:26 AM) That's exactly what PK is...a decent man when you have guys in the lineup like Frank, Mags, CLee....but to be counted on as "the man"....nope. and a complimentary player is not worh 8-10 million a year so lets all hope PK isn't resigned.

Well I think we should sell well for the Seattle series im not 2 sure about Toronto though.
