I know this much. This is the 4th year that we have tried to win this division with the heart of the order being Frank, Maggs, Lee, Jose and Paulie. It hasn't worked since the suprise 2000 division crown. Something about that situation needs to change before next year.

Yes, under the condition that we would be able to resign Nomar.

No, the season isn't over yet. But Flash's statement is a very realistic view of things.

The feeling is mutual. I highly respect you and your opinions.

I hope the Sox make all the whiny ass-clowns eat a very healthy helping of crow.

It's amazing how that keeps happening, isn't it?

4 PM Eastern Time, 3 Central .... and then the waiver deals thru August.

To those of you that can step and see the fact that regardless of the current losing streak we still have a pretty solid team here ..... To those of you that feel like we have to many holes and injuries to make a serious run at the division, that's a valid opinion and I respect that. To those of that b****, moan, cry and whine ... using such informative and intelligent lines as Sox suck ... KW Sucks ... Telling fans to f*** off .... I only have this to say: :fyou :dips***

If we suck and the season is over, WTF are you still doing here Shuf? Get your whiny ass-clown self to a Bears board and leave us alone.

Since when does anyone treat the Sox "fair" when it comes to Cubs?

You've been away from Chicago too long.

Exactly! Let them play in the Beautiful Crumbling Confines.

I'm not playing into your hands. If Mr. Rookie Pitcher makes a mistake on the hit and run pitch, then it's all good.

I still say ... :fthecubs

Why the hell not? What other kind of pitcher would you expect to make a "mistake" pitch in those circumstances. Some people would b**** if you hung them with a new rope. :headshake

That don't mean s***. We need to win because we need the win. I couldn't care less about AL-NL splits.

Let me simplify things for you ..... :fthecubs Let 'em play in Shaumberg ... or Milwaukee ... or San Jaun ... Or Monterrey Again ... :fthecubs

00.5/99.5 that Sweeney does the same.

It may or may not happen. But to to consider Sweeney a 50/50 chance to make the big leagues at age 19 in class A ball is a stretch. I 'll give yo 30/70 on those odds. And then to think he'll be an impact player at this point, I'd say 10/90 against.

Too many people are way too much in love with our prospects. Go back two years. Rauch, Borchard, Crede. C'mon folks, we need a proven major league hitter here... NOW!

I'd trade a 19 year old "maybe" for a solid LH hitter like Cliff Floyd right now. I've seen too many "can't miss prospects" miss ... big time. Floyd is a proven commodity. He went to Boston in a deadline deal a couple of years ago and performed very well for them. If we can make this deal happen, by God, Go for it.

According to the Pittsburg Tribune-Review, The Twins are out of the Benson sweepstakes.

I have no problem with this deal .... at all.

Mariotti Now you are not safe inside nor outside the ballpark.
