YASNY

I think I deserve Vlad money. I can see myself wearing Yankee pinstripes. It's about the years I want. This is my last chance for a big contract. If they don't, I guess I'll have to become a free agent. Damn NUKE, you must really despise the guy who said all of the above, based on that quote. The Yankee pinstripes remark amazes me. Remember all the flack about Buehrle and his remarks about the Cardinals? Yet, this Yankee statement is much more flagrant than anything MB ever said.

I feel confident that Rowand and Crede will get it going. I still have to be sold on Willie Harris.

I agree with the majority on this one. The only thing I like about Jiminez is the fact that he's gone.

1. What is located "down at the end of Lonely Street"? 2. What poker hand was Wild Bill Hickok holding when he was shot? 3. Ancient Mesopotamia is known as what country today? 4. Who performed the classic baseball comedy routine "Who's On First"? 5. The Norse God Woden is the namesake of what weekly occurance? 6. Who wrote the classic country hit "Crazy"? 7. What is known as Montezuma's Revenge? 8. Which presidential candidate did AuH2O represent? 9. What newspaper headlined the results of a presidential election incorrectly? 10 What was the name of Beaver Cleaver's hometown? I tried to make these not too difficult nor too easy. Yet across a wide range of catagories. Answers below 1. Heartbreak Hotel 2. 2 Pair - Aces & Eights 3. Iraq 4. Abbott and Costello 5. Wednesday 6. Willie Nelson 7. Diarreah 8. Barry Goldwater 9. The Chicago Tribune 10 Mayfield

I'm gonna hit on a couple of these because I know them off the top of my head. 2. Idaho 3. Amateur Chris Moneymaker 5. 1 - Buffalo Bills (that would be New York state)

Can you imagine how entertaining it would be to read this topic at a Cubs board?

Seriously: Carlton Fisk Walter Payton Bobby Hull Micheal Jordon Couldn't just pick 3.

I hope your wrong about the Jiminez qualities coming out. Uribe at least appears to have clue as to how to play the game.

Speaking of Robin, he was the one who was headed out of town to acquire Bonds. Someone mentioned Clemens. I believe it was Shuler who thought Navarro would supply more bang for the buck than Clemens. Schuler = :dips***

Koch is one guy I feel had almost no trade value over the winter. A lot of people called for Konerko to be specifically traded for "a bag of used baseballs". I still felt PK had some serious value and the Sox would be foolish to dump him just to purge some payroll. But Koch, with that loss of velocity, was almost untradeable.

I did support his trade out of town.

Hey! I've heard that Van Pelt kid is a helluva ballplayer. He's supposed to have a great blankie... ummm ... I mean glove.

I'm not disagreeing with you guys. Still, they did earn some respect, even though we swept them. Last year everyone kept saying they'd be out of the race by June, then July, then .... well, you get the idea. Pena kept them in it till September.

These early season power rankings make about as much sense as a preseason NCAA football or hoops ranking. The make for something to read and talk about, but they don't mean a thing.

I think last years Tigers showed up to play the Jays today. First place feels good.

Carl Everett hit reasonably well for us and had a good attitude. Unfortunately, he couldn't spread that to the rest of the team. That comment he made to Menkowhatdaf*** of the Twins was entirely justified, imho. However, he was such a defensive liability in CF. He really didn't fit our club because of the fact we couldn't play him in LF or DH. With the way Rowand was coming around, I am inclined to agree that this was a very unneccesary trade.

At this point in time, I have to disagree with you. Though we beat them 4 out of 5 it wasn't easy. The Royals never rolled over and played dead. They have a solid lineup and apparently they can really thump. They earned my respect the past two weeks. If they are such a poor team, why was it such a struggle for us to beat them?

I have got to stop reading this garbage.

I've got "Six Pack Abs". Just saying. Though not quite the same thing Basedow is talking about.

I'd love to be GM of the Cubs. I'd trade Prior, Wood and Patterson to the Sox for Billy Koch.

If Jerry Krause hugged you in front of a camera, would you want to stay in Chicago?

I'd love to the opportunity to be sitting in the Wrigley bleachers and throw back a Sosa home run ball ... a meaningless, losing 10-1 homer, of course. But considering I've only been to Wrigley once in my life, I doubt I'll ever get the chance.

Didn't the Mets owner shoot down a Koch deal over the winter due to his salary?

Our Joke has won 3 of 4 from those Mighty Royals. These are the KC announcers, talking to a KC fan base. Consider the source.
