He gawn.

What's Eck gonna cost us? Who else is looking at him? Do we play him over Willie?...if so, trade Willie?....platoon him and Willie? Does Eck play other infield positions?

......I think 'Yesterday' has had the most cover version of it done also. FWIW.

They've gotta be nervous since the Yanks/Dodgers/ Az deal fell part. Look for George to go after Beltran hard core now.

The best point I've seen on this board in a while. That kind of logic is dangerous around here.

So, you see Sheets or Santanna in a Sox uni. in 2006 huh?

Three things KW has said......and I'm paraphrasing. 1. 'Solving the 5th starter issue will be our #1 priority this off season'. I assume Duque would be our #5 guy, bumping Garland up to #4. I think the concensus on this board is that Garland is nothing better than a #5 guy for us. Will signing Duque really solve the #5 starter issue? 2. 'We are looking for a top of the rotation, impact arm'. Who is that impact arm we've signed this off season? 3. 'We will not sign an arm just to spend the money or because we feel like we have to do something'. Really? That's what the Duque move feels like.

"Why are you people so angry?"----Ozzie, Soxfest 2004.

Pretty wild huh? KW gets lucky again.

Sounds about right. If there is one thing KW has zero tolerance for is guy who might have the wrong or unprofessional attitude in any way. Who was that reliever who was with us like 2 days last year? We brought him into a game and he went ape s*** on the ump after a bad call and got thrown out of the game. The next day K Dubs sent him packing. Kenny don't F around.

If the Sox sold enough tickets, the color of the seats wouldn't matter cuz there would be asses in them.

Former PJ fan here, boy I miss the very early days of that band when Eddie used to climb s*** at their shows and could roar like a lion. Now they put me to sleep, what happened??

Yeah, you're right, it wasn't even the garage sale, it was a day designated just for the sale of those seats.

Even better, try to sell them at the garage sale, have thousands of Sox fans line up, only to find out that only like 15 seats are for sale. Remember that?

I couldn't wait for the article to come up, it was taking too long. Why exactly does it need to be done in phases? Why not wait and do it all at once next off season?

Win, my favorite is the older counselr guy who tries to 'relate' to the kids with the lingo. "Is that dope, would that be fresh?"

..not to mention surgery behind their backs.......in another country. Let's suppose the Sox had really wanted Maggs back for 2005 and that the surgery in Vienna had been botched, then what??

I agree, you jumped in before I could go back and edit, lol. I've written this a few times, if they can unload Sammy, they WILL land Beltran and since they are serious about making a run, could sign Maggs to play RF for cheap.

Saved is very good. People think it's an exaggeration, but it's not. Jesus freaks are very much that way.

Stock plummeting?? BS. No, I don't see anyone gambling on him until his January work out.....but believe this: He'll prove to be healthy in April and will sign somewhere for one year, for cheap and put up monster numbers so that his stock goes back up for 2006. It will probably be with a contender and we'd better hope it's not a certain north side team. BOOK IT.

Assuming we end up not picking up an arm and we have to go with a combo of Grilli/Schoey/Cotts/Diaz etc. as the 5ht starter, do you like the Lee/Pods trade anyway?

I enjoyed it also, but not enough to call it best picture. I could see the argument for the main character getting a nom for best actor, but not the film as whole, IMO.

Oh how quickly the board's standards have fallen.

yep, long engagement will be out this weekend.

I wrote this in another thread a few days ago and again, most people disagreed. You don't pull the trigger on the Lee/Pods trade unless you ALREADY HAVE A DEAL FOR A STARTER IN PLACE. Otherwise that deal was either stupid or a salary dump.
