Do you want to gamble our season on a definite maybe? I want someone that we can count on to actually produce.

What a tragedy.

I'm not looking.

Of course they are. It's all an Illuminati conspiracy!

I'd have to say, I would have gladly traded Koch for him.

Agreed.

If they want to "start" talking about Schoeney and Timo, ok ... but damn!

Now your talkin'. If we are going to gamble on Everett... we might as well try Olerdud (typo, but I liked it)... or McGriff ....... or Rickey Henderson .... is Stan Musial available?

Absolutely no to Garland! Rowand maybe. Both of 'em? Colangelo can kiss my Kentucky located ass!

Thanks guys. Unless I got an absolute "thumbs down" on this, I was going to buy it. I think it would be fascinating.

It's nice to know that India can afford nuclear weapons.

God Bless America

Vent 1: I flick my cigarettes out, but I always wait till I'm in front of the b**** the beeped and had the audacity to pop me the bird because she thought she was too good to let me merge into her lane with a full half car length of space between her and the car in front. rolleyeyes.gif Vent 2: See Vent 1 Vent 3: Who? Vent 4: They're! Eye've said my peace! On a seriuous note. "Then" and "Than" are not interchangable.

The nuclear holocost will prevent the earth-shattering timequake caused by the bug being smashed. So, it's all good.

Man, I hope so too!

You are correct. My original statement was wrong. I don't keep up with who represents who as far as agents are concerned, but I had seen those two players mentioned on this board as being Boras clients. you -> How' that?

Not at all. I'm just saying that Robbie didn't produce much when he was here, though there were theories on why he just might (ex: return to AL, teamed with Sandy, etc). The similarities between the two is what I was pointing out, not placing blame. Declining offensive numbers. Gold glove defense. Playoff experience. You can say those things about either 2003 Robbie Alomar or 2004 John Olerud.

When I saw it, they showed the throw. They nominated him for the webgem based on the catch, then withdrew the nomination because of the throw. And yes, ARow could have caught that in his hip pocket.

Olerud: .......... Avg OBP SLG OPS 2002: .300 .403 .490 .893 2003: .269 .372 .390 .762 2004: .245 .354 .360 .714 Anybody notice any trends?

I really like the ideas as proposed in that article. It rewards the two best teams in the league with byes and rewards the next two with at least 2 home playoff games. Yet, it gives the 5 and 6 seeds a shot, though its at a distinct disadvantage. You wouldn't have teams resting their regulars the last week, as every game would be important for home field advantage or playoff byes. More fans would have hope, longer, therefore more butts in the seats. More games would be big games, again putting butts in the seats. Then with a 154 game schedule, each game would mean a little more than the 162 game schedule games.

I join all the others in expression my appreciation for those snippets of Sox history. Thanks Josh!

Colangelo may trade Unit to the Yanks because He wants to go there.

I knew I was going to hate this thread when I say it. I should have went with my gut instincts and skipped it. Personally, I have no problem with either Maggs or Frank for not being there. If you're disabled, take some time and get away from the game and the travel. Nor so I have a problem with Ozzie or Jose. They had an opinion and expressed it. This is much ado about nothing.

Carl ain't hitting a lick this year.

Let's look at our last 4 series. Cubs, Angels, Mariners, A's. We all know the results of those series, so I won't go over all that. However, I have been saying all year that we do not have the type of team that can score enough runs off of a "good" pitcher. Cubs, Angels and A's are all playoff caliber teams. As of now we are 1-7 against those teams since we went into Wrigley. I can gaurantee you this much. We will not face the Seattle Mariners in the first round of the playoffs this year. It will be a team that has playoff caliber pitching. Don't be fooled by all these stats we piled up against some of the lesser pitchers in the league. Come playoff time we will be facing pitchers like Pedro, Mulder, Mussina, Vazquez, etc.
