Yeah "pulling the offer" is really strange language. But nonetheless the nail is in the coffin as far as I'm concerned. Seriously, someone buy a. jones some nice, nice steroids, plz.

I'm sorry, I didn't read the article. I was under the impression it was already filmed.

that said...our military is amazing. Give them any military objective and they can achieve. But not everything we need is a military objective. I see no political solutions that will occur in afghanistan anytime soon.

Bravo, marines.

Yeah, okay, I don't really mind this move by KW. BUt that doesn't change the fact that going into the season with 1 below avg. LFer at leadoff, another question mark at 3b, and a DH combo that is probably worse than sticking carlos zambrano there is brutal. When you look at every move in a vacuum you might say what could we have done? But, the fact is we have a 100 mill payroll in a division that is pretty easy to win, and for 4 years we've had one playoff birth. Now we have the best pitching staff by far in the division. Not winning it is absolutely despicable. And with this offense it'll be a real struggle to win. It's a shame.

I would be more interested in this if it focused around the trade deadline or the draft.

this isn't a classic reality show. It's not just sticking normal people that want to be famous for 3 months into an INTERESTING situation!!!!!!!! It's more like a TV documentary. I doubt they'll be making KW and Ozzie do scavenge hunts to see who will be kicked off the show first.

think about how much money he can save on drinks when there are actually people here to buy them for him. Penny saved is a penny earned.

Yes, but our contract guarantees that you will in fact see people walking around in the city

nada.

xanga pages are empty

I know, I'll check twitter.

It was just insane that i was mad jermaine didnt make the allstar game last season, and now he's a scrub looking like he'll be out of baseball. That second half was so brutal.

kinda wouldnt mind carrasco back right now.

anyone hear anything from their sources recently?

the partial title on the home page totally made me think it was "Sox front office get a reality check". and i was like "s***, damon went to detroit"

I mean, if it was from reagan until obama it would be a weird coincidence but 3/5 presidents especially, 3 out of 44, I'm not that impressed.

haha, that's pretty brilliant.

QUOTE (quickman @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 06:22 PM) Funny half the time people on this board ask Rock to check with his source, now people are crapping on it because its not what they want to hear. I toohave personal friends with people in the media, and JimH who you all hate, has some great resources in the media, that said, it has seems that unless you are JR, KW, Johnny damon or Scott Boras everyone is shut down for the moment. Lets not trash Rock. If you don't want to believe his source, then don't. This board has the Ranger on it who is part of the media, close to many team resources, and chances are if KW told him something off the record, he wouldn't go and run with it to some internet board. you don't have to say people when it's one dude.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) Wow, you're gonna hate him even if the DH situation is resolved by Damon? Call me crazy, but I think Kotsay is pretty great to have off the bench. Besides, who else will back up 1b? EDIT: I can see trading him for a proper CI backup, though. One who can play both 3b and 1b. There was nothing hateful about that statement. edit: I don't even know who the hell "him" is in your post

If we sign damon i get rid of kotsay. But I know we won't.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 07:01 AM) I'm not sure what you're missing here. I was commenting on your words to someone else: "Again, I find it ironic, then, that you want to trade away the talent that we'd have cheaply for 6 years in the future for a one or two year player we can't afford to re-sign." You're right, it doesn't have anything to do with signing or not-signing Damon. I never said that it did. Right, which was about how he said we weren't thinking about the budget and wasting a 100 mill. payroll. I was saying keeping these prospects was very cost effective compared to having to plug in veterans. But yes, considering our history and where our budget will likely be in 2 years, and the fact that Adrian Gonzalez will net one of the leadin contracts in the MLB, it's a pretty safe bet.
