This price seems kind of high for a backup catcher no? Granted we are hoping he goes up to his career avgs. Man weve had bad luck with offensive catchers going to us as backups and becoming the worst offensive players in the history of the game. sigh...i just cant stand all these reasonable deals going out to players that would completely upgrade a huge offensive hole for us and we cry poor.

I disagree that Ozzie would not DH Vizquel, he seems to be doing and saying everything possible to make sure we dont upgrade our weak offense, and indeed, everyting possible to waste this pitching staff.

These two stories made me cry at work: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_...hope-plead.html http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_...-of-things.html the scope itself can only be so horrifying, and numbers are so impersonal. What little money I have has just been donated, I dont have much, and i dont know if it'll help, but my God!, what else do you do? I just have a hard time grasping this, a country was, swallowed up. And knowing how things are built in Brazil, knowing what it would look like here, it makes me sick. And brazil is 1,000,000x more qualified to deal with something like this. Ugh.

I'm just thoroughly disgusted. I refuse to answer the poll of what is likely to happen, because then i would have to think like Ozzie, and if i did that i would start banging my head into my lap top and crying hysterically for hours. Why, oh why.

Pictures are horrifying. I can't even imagine what you do, youre on a damn island where near everything is destroyed.

McCain has a temper, we all know it, I don't doubt he could say it, but I don't think he meant it.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 08:11 AM) I still wouldn't mind seeing Alejandro de Aza as a 4th/5th OF, but with Quentin/Pierre/Rios/Jones/Kotsay, it seems doubtful. Curses, i forgot about Kotsay.

i'm hoping De Aza will be it i guess? 5 OFers?

that would rock. But nonetheless a contract like that isn't good for anyone but Chapman and his agent.

just insane.

there was an early episode that I only vaguely remember - just that it was hilarious - where saddam hussein double parks george and kramer in...if anyone knows the name of the episode i'd love to watch it.

i can see it if he was major league ready, but man, this could get someone fired, but I can't imagine it wins an ownership over. It's not like they just found this guy out of nowhere, a bidding war for an unproven talent like this...ridiculous.

i'm not going to assume anyones price anymore in the offseason. Nor do I care. a one year committment sub 10 million isn't that much, so they can either decide a playoff run is worth it or they can cry all the way to the crying factory.

jesus, i just can't imagine that's worth it...by the time the dude gets up his contract will have one or two years, thenyou have to pay him a legit contract again?! I don't think cubano can claim the MLB hates the cubans after this deal, and how it f***s over strassbuerger or whatever haha.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Johnny Damon I keep forgetting his available, i'm gonna hop on the bandwagon you created for him. That would be more ideal for me than Jim Thome...part of that reason is unfortunately it would get ozzie to STFU and placate my desires as well.

i have a feeling we'll be regretting not signing Vlad.

well i guess it doesn't matter...we have PIERRE! He can STEAL home!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) According to ESPN. If you read the article that they are reporting off of, they say "some GMs and coaches feel he will be drafted first round" and then they say Tony Dungy thinks he will go first round. Nobody on an NFL team will assign their name to that report because I am pretty sure they know he wont be a first round draftee. If he is drafted first round, whoever drafts him better know something that nobody else knows OR they are jacksonville and are just trying to sell some seats.

KW seems intent on going into the season every year with at least one huge gigantic glaring hole that can be fixed relatively cheaply,

I love Michael Steele.

who isn't

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) Does Mizzou still play 40 minutes of hell? I always love watching their games, although I can't say I catch as many as I'd like. Yep, first two years didn't work that well, then last year...elite 8.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 12:13 AM) Ramsey just isn't good on offense. He's still solid on the boards and on defense. Problem is Bowers keeps getting into foul trouble and the depth isn't there in the frontcourt. Tiller and Taylor are the usual starters, but both have missed a couple games due to minor injuries, the flu or not paying speeding tickets. Michael Dixon got into foul trouble today, but he's looked great as a freshman this year. He's coming along nicely. This team is probably a first week exit at the tourney, but considering they lost 3 starters and the team's 2 best players from a year ago that's good improvement for Mizzou. Next year they should be really nasty with a top 20 recruiting class coming in. They should be able to replace Tiller and Taylor. Replacing Ramsey's d might be tougher though. well, I can tell you after my first three years it seemed getting to the tourney was freaking impossible, so if anderson can consistently build a tourney team that's great for the school and fanbase. Alden as a person is a prick, but I have to respect the dude.

Sounds like Ramsey was having a tough game just following on sportsline... Also, does Tiller or Taylor start?

COOL win on bowers dunk, thanks for the link Danman!!!! I didn't know about it but I was never really effin with sports media at Mizzou. If I had money to buy anything I would buy a bunch of beer to celebrate.
