Person Below You Game
QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 11, 2008 -> 12:33 PM) True, I hear its gets pretty good gas mileage. http://www.toyota.com/matrix/ The person below me thinks that the only "star" actor worse than Keanu Reeves is the dude who plays Peter Petrelli on "Heroes." False, Nicolas Cage. To this day, I cannot believe that man won an Oscar and was nominated for another. The person below me is studying for a final.

Winter Meetings Chit-Chat
You can't entirely blame people for beginning to get upset. I know we're supposed to take anything KW says with a grain of salt, but he's been saying for a while now that we are cutting payroll. And we haven't been tied to any free agents. So, a lot of us know not to take KW at his word, but quite a few will believe him when he says that we won't be adding any big contracts. I, for one, think we'll end up signing a relatively expensive free agent (I really think we'll end up with Dunn) and/or trading for a quality MLB player. But if we don't, you better believe I'll be angry because you simply cannot raise ticket prices and cut payroll drastically.

Person Below You Game
QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) Partially true, I tried. The person below me heard their mama cry, heard her pray the night Chicago died. Wait, are you thinking of that compilation CD from a few years back? I remember the commercial pretty well, and I'm pretty sure those two songs (and those exact two lyrics) were used one right after the other. QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) True, When THE Mayor Daley died The person below me has seen skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight Yes. The person below me can name about 20 porn stars off of the top of his/her head.

Winter Meetings Chit-Chat
QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) I think the leadoff position is going to be filled by the CF position, and let's hope it's not Taveras. What other option is there at that position? I have a terrible feeling we'll end up seeing Juan Pierre out there.

If he gets in, it should be noted on his plaque that he was a shameless self-promoter and that it is a large reason he's there. That'd be the ultimate back-handed compliment to him. You're in, but here's your plaque.

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) I think its safe to say that KW isnt after a FA pitcher. He was going to fill the lead off/OF/Pitching roles with trades or FA signings. With Bailey probably slotted for the 4th or 5th spot in the rotation I think its a pretty solid guess that any FA is going to be a corner OF'er or a leadoff man. Most likely true, but I wouldn't be very confident going into next year with a rotation of Buehrle, Danks, Floyd, Bailey, and any of the AAA guys. I love Danks and I've grown to really like Floyd, but at least one of them is due to fall off a little next year. I also believe that Bailey can become great, but I also doubt it's going to happen immediately. The same can be said of the AAA guys.

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:14 PM) Swisher was f***ing awful. I still believe we'll see the Sox make a minimum of one decent size free agent signing's and potentially as many as two (either a SS and OF or an OF and pitcher, imo). I was thinking that I'd be satisfied if the Sox ended up getting two of these three: Furcal, Lowe, and Dunn. Even if it's not those guys specifically, I'd hope it would be a proven major league player at those respective positions (Starter, LF/RF, and 2B/SS).

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:13 PM) I think he'd be batting 9th. And I wouldn't really have much of a problem with that.

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:08 PM) Right, of course they arent worth half of what Dye is. And I like that many people are saying they wont go to games next year, I like it when there are less yahoo's at the park. The Sox are going after some FA's as we speak. I am not too worried, I like this building on young pitching philosophy. Perhaps you didn't read what was written.

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) On the other hand, if we use this money wisely, then I don't mind these moves. I'd like to be the first to say thank you to Jermaine Dye. One of the most significant players in Sox history. Dye is one of the best players and people this team has ever had.

Rumors: Sox/Reds Talking Dye for Bailey Swap
I have two things two say. 1.) There better be another player included in the deal. 2.) If they do not make any big acquisitions with the money they've already cut, then I will not go to a single game next season.

What Happened to Pursuing Orlando Hudson?
QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) Could Hudson potentially be a CF? Stoney i think mentioned this on his blog. Also Alexei to CF remains possible. To one day make room for Beckham. We always talk about converting players to certain positions. I say we just stick with putting guys where they're used to playing and where they belong.
