Here we go. There's still 30 shopping days left until baseball's trade deadline, but Peter Gammons has learned that the Mets have already unloaded one of their most desired commodities, sending Robby Alomar to the White Sox. With buyers and sellers in the AL and the NL, that looks like just the beginning.

Just heard same thing on the Score. All for prospects...mets eating part of contract...

LOL!

3 hours? Damn. I did 2.5 days last year at college. You do indeed start to go a bit wacky, it's pretty funny. People tell me i'm weird all the time. You are talkign to the kid who sleeps like 4-5 hours a night. The college allnighter is definitely something that makes you lose your mind. It's hard to write an essay when you are already on no sleep for 20+ hours. I listen to music to keep me up. It keeps your mind going. Oh, and lots o Dews

For the record, the Detroit games are always sold out...albeit 1/3 of em are Wings fans.

Throw that 3-0 pitch in the dirt or the stands. Just not over the plate.

Probly a pretty valid question...where in the hell do you find crap like this? Do you actually read up on the Pads?

True test, IMO, comes Wednesday, when there is no half price night. Could be a sweep game too. Let's see who shows then. I should be there.

I heard Gammons say LA would be a nice fit for Maggs...never heard of any of this

Still an upgrade over DJ, veteran, leadership, work ethic, etc. Don't want to give up a lot to get him, but i think the Mets will move him pretty easily.

That's Cy Mays to you

Especially this year, the fans should not vote. This game means something now...there's no room for fans bulls*** decisions. This is no longer the fans game, they shouldn't control home field for a world series in any shape of form. Never been a fan of fan voting, and this only gives more fuel to the fire to get rid of it.

The more i think about it, the more i like this deal. DJ sucks. Hate em. What happens then is that rowand and harris can split CF duties, and we hope one of em stays hot the rest of the year. Chances are, one of em will tank, that's what i think. I think it will take the pressure off of both of em, and they can hit towards the bottom of the order where they have a better chance for success.

I was satisfied this weekend to have the Cubs fans i was with really say they enjoyed the improvements of the park...they really like how the concourses were finished off, especially in the outfield...and they liked all the black steel instead of the white. One of my friends was awed by the graphic ability of the new jumbotron.

Heather, let me know if you are going to be at a game sometime soon. I'd give you a ride but you are a pretty good ways away. How's the car situation coming along?

I had the greatest time Friday...met some good Cubs fans, 21 or 22 year olds, gettin pretty drunk, but they knew their stuff and we went back and forth the whole game. We realized it was just a game, like you said. Real funny, knowledgeable talk was had by all...enjoyable experience. I appreciate the random times i end up sitting by people that really know the game well and can talk some good baseball and can have a good time.

At one point i was the only one in my section actually concentrating on the game, and i told people to sit down that were standing up just to watch the fight I travel 205 miles one way, take a day off of work and arrange a substitute for Sunday services so I can attend all three games, $80 to board my dogs, parking costs, food at the ballpark, etc etc etc, and I am going to sit and watch a bunch of druken assholes act out their stupid tough guy fantasies or watch the game I have traveled so far and spent so much to see - and what concerns me is what, whether there are a couple of lowlifes brawling in the stands or whether the Sox win - not much of a choice, is there? we should sit together, koch - Ya, i took my 15 second look at it between pitches...then it was back to the ballgame. Same thing happened during Hawks/Blues game 2002 playoffs game 4...anybody who was there knows the brawl that ensued with about 8 seconds left in the game...Hawks down 1-0, offensive zone faceoff...and i'm trying to concentrate on the game with an absolute brawl going on 2 sections over

Tune in he's on 1000 right now...

Steve Phillips is one of the worst GMs in any sport in recent memory. Of course Mike Smith is right behind him

I have to ump tonight...if i don't have to ump tomorrow, 90% chance i'll be there

Drinkin heavily all day long at a party with ton of friends...however, i will try to catch the Sox game...watchin the Sox drunk is always an interesting experience

Hate commuting for work only i take it...because don't you commute from Michigan for Sox games?

At one point i was the only one in my section actually concentrating on the game, and i told people to sit down that were standing up just to watch the fight

He needs to get a chance at the major league level before KW gives up on DJ and trades for Alomar, Castillo, etc

Well, i was in row 27
