I just find that to be the site for the crusty old cynics. We get it...you are all older and have followed the team longer. Point taken. Now, just talk baseball and drop the cynicism, it gets to be overwhelming. Not just directed at you Steff.

I thought the older crowd goes to WSI. What happened there? Are you a poster there Steff?

Ok sure...and we'd be paying for your catcher how? We have much more pressing needs and a very limited payroll. Sorry.

With the winter meetings coming quickly and a few key free agents already off that market, Kenny has his work cut out for him. Which players (via free agency or via trade) is Kenny about to go after. Let's attempt a position by position breakdown. My thoughts... C- Stand pat. Maybe aquire a free agent a little later. Zaun, Blanco. 1B- Believe it or not, if Paulie is dealt, maybe Kenny starts to think about Delgado. That said, I think Gload will be our opening day first baseman. 2B- Big concern. We can't afford to have Willie be our starting second baseman. Polanco, Walker, Reese SS- Uribe's the man for now, but maybe Garciaparra, Cabrera, or Renteria are sleepers. 3B- Joe McGoo Crede. LF- Carlos Lee CF- Rowand. Maybe Posednik or the like via trade. RF- Dye, Dellucci, Hidalgo. Can't forget about Jurassic or Escobar though.

ABBA?

Meshuggah slays. Awesome metal. The Sweedish metal influence is obviously a major player in this new wave of American metal. Iron-Maide-esq guitars and hardcore vocals are the new thing. Wow, even some metal heads on this board. Rock on fellas, count me in for metal talk. I'm telling you though...Dead to Fall (Midwest originators) EDIT: Metal fans, don't leave out In Flames.

Hey fellas, away at school. You think you could post the main points of the interview? I know ya will anyway! Thanks.

A great fit for the Chicago White Sox.

Wow. I just wonder how long the MLB was going to put off this steroid hunt, if they did anything at all. They knew full well that this type of research would be devestating to the league and I'm sure they wanted to avoid this in the extreme. it was just a matter of time, however. I mean Barry can't go from looking like this -> To this -> Without touching the juice. Same goes for Mark Mcgwire and Giambi. Like Robin Williams said...if you walk up to the plate with a watermelon for a head and walnuts down-stairs, You're Out!

Just when baseball starting making a comeback. MLB has to be sick right now. Alright....well, this begs the bigger, more important question. How many of you think Bonds is/has taking/taken steroids and if so, would you like to see him ineligible for Cooperstown? I say: Barry was certainly on steroids, for how long I am unsure of, and that he will be put in the Hall, but with an * ------Remember, these are just opinions.

Way to laugh it off!!! Nothing wrong with optimism! To you willie, let's hope you're right.

Cha-Ching!!!! Sorry Willie. As Hawk says... well you know the rest.

Hushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Lets take this one step at a time. Lots of posters here have great memories. We all know now, if we didn't already, what this team is capable of. When they are firing on all cylinders they can not be beat. Period. I stand by that statment 100%.

Most satisfying win of the year. Loved it. However, I also love with Seals from DePaul doinked the bejezzus out of the Cincy sixth man. Histarical!

My sentiments exactly. That guy is a piece of sh.....trash.

Bob Huggins?

Never said I didn't respect him. I just hate all things MSU...so, yes, Izzo as well. Hell of a coach though. Don't hate you aboz...just MSU.

Introduce us please. Anyway you cut it, HUGE win for the Illini. We'll talk hoops when we meet MSU this year.

Zing!!! I f***ing hate Izzo.

Huge metalhead here. Lamb of God and Shaddows Fall are singlehandedly bringing back American metal. If you're into those two, check out our Chicago boys, Dead to Fall. If you haven't heard them yet, you'll love what you here. They are Zao meets Atreyu.

Stanford or Washington. Sorry.

Absurd. Then again, I suppose its better to want too much than not enough. Kudos for attempting to pull of something crazy. Baseball is a game of whims, perhaps the Diamondbacks wanted to over-shoot and just hope the Yankees were on board for doing something of this magnitude.

Dude...how about when she was proposed to at the Indiana game. Ohhhhhhhhh...Mandi Patrick...how I love you so.

See that Punch and Judy...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I didn't see that one coming. Here's one for Gammon's credibility! :rolly Please.

Just walked back myself man. I stuck around and talked with Nick Smith. Some of the sports guys were talking to McBride too, so it was fun to see that. What an amazing win. We just embarassed the #1 in the country. Time to recognize.
