I wouldn't worry about it. The Red Sox will just throw money at the problem, like always.

Now there is a real newsflash.

Hey. Don't forget about all those Lakes in L.A. Actually, there used to be bears in the area. But according to legend, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone cleaned them all out.

Hi Tyler. Welcome to Soxdom. What is your realistic timetable for making it to the majors? Do you see yourself as a future starter, setup, closer, or whatever? How well do you consistently "hit your spots"?

I agree. 10% of our payroll would be just about right.

That Calderon jersey is pretty cool. But didn't that jersey go with the cap with the pig's tail "C" on it? I hated those caps. I always been glad the went back to the current SOX logo.

I understood that from your original post. In fact, I alluded to it in mine.

If we can't come up with a #2 type pitcher, Rusch would fill in nicely as a number 5. I'd like to set my sights a little higher, but that's not always possible.

You have a point about the strikeouts, which I did consider before posting that. However, I feel it is more imperative for us to have somneone break up all those righties. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Believe me, I understand where you are coming from. I just think that in the long run, Joey B will be more of an impact player. If I was forced to trade one of them, it would be Reed.

And Game 1 of the 1994 World Seies goes to the White Sox!

My reason for saying that is because he was such a stand up guy. We should leave the guy alone, imho. Whatever. Have fun with then

That is the final decision of this panel and cannot be reversed. Let it be written. Let it be done.

I think we can stop worrying about Billy Koch, now.

If he's going to get on a hot streak, I'd rather see him do it in Chicago than Charlotte.

Because you were handy.

Whatever works. I'm all for it!

I don't remember how I came up with this one, I know it was a Christmas present for my son.

Pumped? No. Hopefully optimistic? Maybe. Go get 'em Arnie!

I have that pic hanging on my wall too. It's on a plaque. I just scanned it and shrunk it to fit.

That's one in a row!

Cotts never a starter? Damn, you are quick to condemn someone for failure to be lights out as they begin their career. I think Cotts will be a decent starter down the road.

Borchard has 4 of the 5 tools. If he can shorten up that swing, he'll be a stud. I know it's a big if, but I'm not really excited about the next Mark Kotsay, either.

I'm sure NYY would rather have Beltran wearing White Sox over Red ones, but I don't think they'd want to strengthen us that much. They may regret doing so in October.

And he shall be "Livan" ... and he shall be a good man ...
