Will the Wizard of Oz be at Sox Fest 2004? I sure hope so...

This is where I see Gordon going: 1). Devil Rays 2). Flubs :fthecubs 3). White Sox

Thanks alot Steff! It's very helpful for people who didn't catch it!

Can he bring some of that Marlin speed over here? Luis Castillo anyone? Get some guys to manufacture runs like they did with occasional power.

I feel bad for Willie Harris....Loses his number to Robbie, then will lose 13 to Ozzie... What number is next if we resign Alomar?

All managers have to start somewhere...

It's gotta be the Wizard of Oz..

Fav soxtalk name? My own of course... How not orinal can it get?

Thanks to all the mods.. Great place to talk..

What has Maggs done in the playoffs?

Have a good one

Crawford is thinking pass first and when he does shoot, he's been off. Rose is rusty and will be back in awhile. Feed the ball to Eddy and Tyson inside and that'll open up the outside to guys like Jamal,Pip,Gill(outside jumper),Rose. and Marcus can pound it inside as well. Remember it's still early, and many didn't play all the games in the preseason. It's still a long season.

I say we would of beat the Yanks, since we can all hit their pitchers hard on a given night. We would of lost to the Red Sox or A's either way...Anything was possible though with this team though.... ... Post your thoughts on how far we could of gone.

Rios among failing our season ...Don't think he was gonna make a huge difference either way...THe only good he did was sticking up for his teammates against Hawkins way back in April...Hey if Hawkins was thinking about actually coming here, that could make his decision to say no...

It's solid considering he played 82 games at Pac Bell; a pitcher's park.

To bring up a guy's name and people disagreeing with me is fine..But someone saying I don't know s*** just because I bring up a guy's name is pretty lame...

In no way do I want to rebuild. But if we can get Cruz for about 4 mil, trade Maggs and his 14 million somewhere...We would have 10 mil to spend somewhere..Cruz OPS was a solid 779..Plus he played at a pitcher's park in Pac Bell..He's solid defensively at right...That's 10 mil that can go to a LOT of positions. Don't get me wrong, Maggs is a great player,just not for 14 million.

Trade either Maggs or Carlos...Restock the farm system from this past year or get some big league pitching....Really Interesting guys...Would'nt mind seeing him at all in a Sox uni...

Show for Schoenweis was ok...MO is ok for Miguel not orignal though...(Hawk calls him that).

1) Small Ball (stealing,bunting,hitting to the opposite field,not swinging for the fences every time up) SEE:MARLINS 2) Reliable 5th starter who could keep us in the games...(solid 6 or 7 innings...3 or 4 earned runs) 3) Firing Manuel earlier

Agree... ....That was great....But unfortunately Doug had the last laugh as his team unfortunately made it to the playoffs .... Doug

I'm not saying I don't want Carl here, I'm saying TB would love to have him cuz it is what they need.

I think Tampa Bay would be a great spot for Carl in 2004. They need a big bat, lefty in there, and a leader.. Lou wants to win.
