How many teams has Gary Sheffield played for?

Yes and no. Yes, the offensive line is not the best in the league. These guys have a long way to go, but the makings are there for a productive O-line. This offensive line, with a healthy Marc Columbo, will be able to compete at the professional level with the best of them. As far as the recievers, we don't have a winner in the bunch, that I'll agree with. If your getting covered, you break route and work your way back to the ball...pop warner football will teach you that. Now...the big But. Watch Peyton Manning work just one drive down field. He goes through his wide reciever progression perfectly. One, Two, Three, BALL. He gets back there, he is decisive, and he gets the ball off quickly. Now, comparing any offensive in the leauge to the Colts may be unfair, but much of the blame lies directly on the shoulders of both Quinn and Krenzel. As a high school quarter back, I learned that you are "not" as good as your recievers are, you should still make plays and get the ball off quickly. Those two spend way too much time in the pocket, behind an already questionable o-line, and then make bad decisions with the football. That is not a winning combination.

How will I ever move on in life? This news is terribly depressing. I have no reason to live anymore. It's just baseball. I don't know what you were implying. So we didn't get Kendall, shucks. It's Thanksgiving...there is a lot in life to be thankful for; the sporting community is one small microcosm in an otherwise meaningful existance. You need to put into context whatever gets said here. I don't think anyone is losing sleep over this. Please.

I like Bradley. He's a good ball player and supposedly a good team mate. However, a Garland for Bradley trade would do nothing to benefit this club. The way I see it, Garland will go into 2005 as the best #5 starter in the AL. This team has got to have solid pitching to compete, a trade like this would do nothing but create another hole in the rotation.

Good thoughts... I have posted on this board before that I just have some kind of hunch that Brown will be on the roster in 2005. I dunno why, don't ask. Just a hunch.

Vazquez scared me last year. I'm not quite as big on this deal as I would have been two years ago. Hopefully he'll rebound and find a way to succeed in the AL.

I know we might love his hair and his country music, but the guy isn't a great catcher by any strech of the imagination. If Kenny really plans on going into the season with a Davis/Burke platoon, we better have made significant improvements in other areas, both offensively and defensively.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends! Gobble Gobble

The boys are looking good. Can't wait till' the real games begin.

You've earned it... :rolly

It's like asking the square root of 1,000,000; no one knows.

On a related note...Madden is cookin' in the crusier.

Minny...the Bears don't play the game till' tomorrow man. Geez, there has to be something to do.

and that couldn't happen why? Granted it seems Kendall is going to Oakland, that is totaly "doable". Gosh, things were so much nicer while you were away. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

We have a white Thanksgiving...this is awesome. I love snow. I just drove from Naperville to the city and smilied all the way. I love Chicago.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damnit Kenny, you HAD to get this deal done. I can't believe this.

I know, I know. Well in that case, throw in Nolan Ryan and you have yourself a team.

I posted that a split-second after you; not referring to yours what-so-ever.

Time for a dose of reality. -Aquire Kendall through either PK or Garland (not both) -Sign Jeff Nelson -Trade PK for a front-line starter (A's, Yanks, Randy) -Aquire a IF/OF Utility guy off the scrap-heap That would be a fantastic off-season for a team utilizing Reinsdorfian baseball practices.

What... No Cabrera? Maybe Gibbons will shoulder the load.

Thank goodness. How ever did we get by without you...oh wait, I remember...intelligently.

Relax shooter. Relax. These are the dog days of the off-season. I'll take any Sox chatter I can get.
