I don't know, but it looks like a typo to me.

In fact, we are alone at the top of the division ... by a margin of .001

I'd be saying the same thing if I were them. In fact, I'd bet most of you would be talking the same way if the situation was reversed. Let 'em talk. It means nothing.

Yes, it could have led to meaningful debate, but those opposing him resorted to labeling him a racist and threatening violence. Regarding his decision to "throw them up randomly", sometimes you have to peacefully force the issue to make someone listen. Disclaimer: Though this was young man had a "conservative" point of view, I feel well thought out protest from either side of the political spectrum is appropriate. As the "liberal" side did so effectively at our nation's educational facilities back in the 1960's.

That sounds promising.

Careful with the tailspin talk guys. The baseball gods can be quite peevish at times. Let's beat them this weekend, then talk some s***.

Those damn evil security guards!

I don't know about this. Garcia may not want to sign with the Sox. He'd have to give up visits from baseball groupies while on the road. ...... ^ Ozzie ^Freddie

Getting Johnson still makes more sense. Since his contract is gauranteed through only 2005.

11-4 in the silver and black. Then 6-0 in the post season!

Methinks Ozzie did a bit of ass chewing.

You are looking at things through silver and black colored glasses. It's good that there is a lot of talk about and excitement for the White Sox, but for the near future, it is still a Cub's town. A World Series win and nice parade might change that, though.

I'll say this much. You always make a guy stop and think. Well, people SHOULD stop and think, at times.

Done. I with you on that.

Sure. I'd love to have RJ take the ball in game one. But, I just don't see it happening. I don't think Johnson OK's any deals. Based on that belief on my part, I look at other alternatives.

What's to explain. You know his reasoning. We were in desperate need of a starter and KW got the best available.

Had to b**** just a little, didn't ya?

I agree, Brando. He'd be a nice fit, but that contract is cost prohibitive.

He better!

I like this idea too. Livan > Ortiz, imho.

The Braves would love to get out from under Jones and Ortiz contracts, and still look like they are "going for it". That's why I see Maggs as a potential part of this deal. I think KW should insist on Estrada being included before even considering taking on those contracts. The Braves could either keep Maggs for the year and let him walk, giving them some major payroll flexibility or turn him over for a couple of ML ready youngsters (Minnesota? ) . So you'd have Estrada, Jones and Ortiz for Maggs (or possibly PK), and maybe Rauch and Rowand. Intersting possibilities, but longshots at best.

Wasn't he with our organization in ST? Trying to make a comeback. I think he was, but was subsequently released. Edit: It just came to me. It was Castillo.

Maggs can still go to Atlanta and it not be BS on KW's part. Just because they haven't talked about Maggs, that doesn't mean they aren't going to.

He also looked at the clubhouse door and said, "There is no one in there that is untouchable."
