O... one more thing.... sicne gordan Ash lost his job... KW is the worst GM in baseball.

Marte-Guerrier update
Ok, 1) how does the trade look at the time - BAD! we pay to give up durham for jon adkins. 2) how does it look now - worse, oakland gets 2 picks for jon adkins. KW isnt all that ailes us, but as the GM of this team he would be credited for its sucesses and as much as you may dislike it hes going to have to bear the burden of his failure. I can understand all the its a good move bad move talk... But then how do u explain the incompetence in the berry barry trade? see i'm berry barry confused again.

Honel and Cotts
Reports are that Honels velocity is back up into the 90's which is very refreshing. I think he's back around 92 mph. Yea.. but he was touted as hitting 95ish. It always concerns me when HS pitchers lose velocity as they develop... its not a good sign. Sometimes it might not be anything... but often that speed never returns... esp with our young-uns.

Marte-Guerrier update
Hmm. KW hasnt made just "one" bad move. He's mad a series of bad moves. The GM of a Professional team, is in most cases never judged by his successes, but moreso his ability to avoid failers. One bad trade. No biggie. Two bad trades? eh... 3 bad trades? ah-oh Ah whats the name of the player we are suppsoed to get? HELP! PLEASE HELP! MY TEAM IS RUN BY A MORON!

Honel and Cotts
I have some fears with Honel. Hes lost some speed on his pitches (what sox pitching prospect hasnt?) Lets leave him in High A all year. Move him along slow... if he spends rest of teh year in High A. All of next year at AA and a full year at AAA he'd still be younger then jesus prior when he makes his ML debut. There is absolutely no reason to rush him up (see Garland, Wright, Kip Wells... )

Marte-Guerrier update
EXACTLY! how is it we were the only team shopping a veteran all-star 2Bman (plus half his salary) for jon f***ing adkins... that trade alone justifies firing KW. Lets not bring up the Clayton or ritchie mess.... I am so berry barry confused as to how people defend KW.

Marte-Guerrier update
Lets for a moment forget that those 2 picks exsist. Ray durham (2 time all-star) + 500K for Jon Adkins (5 year minor leaguer whos 26 at the time of the trade) Yea... the supplemental picks is what makes that trade look bad. And please dont tell me no demand for ray ray... Tyler houston ( 2nd basemen/bench warmer) was traded from Brewers to LA for 2 of LA's top 10 prospects. What that equals is the complete failure of our GM and front office to not only place a acceptable value on our players, but to also be completely out of it.

Marte-Guerrier update
That argument leaves out KW biggest f***up dealing with Oakland. Ray Durham + 500K + 2 first round pics(not from us... but as compensation for losing ray as a FA) = Jon adkins. A martian would be able to accertain that was a moronic thing to do.

Marte-Guerrier update
Sorry..... I don't follow the A's It would figure Bradford is doing well for the A's given KW's track record Fair nuff... but atleast have your facts straight to rip the guy.... otherwise it gives the "excuse patrol" more ammo.
-
Marte-Guerrier update
Ah.... Bradford already made it to the majors... hes been pitching brillaintly for the A's.... I dont think thats a bad trade anymore... hell just having the pleasure of watching Miggy GUN basestealers down is worth it.

Best Movie Ever.......
Requiem for a dream is a great movie too.... Donnie Darko isnt too bad... Matrix reloaded kinda sucked. The action gets cheezy after a while... and it was so obviously CG that it lost some of its fun... Especially the smith vs neo scene... you can see soooooo many gliches in there... But thats prolly just my constant harping on hollywood for its lack of "attention to detail" Darin Aranofsky is a great director... i feel he may join the ranks of Kubrick et al.... if hes given a chance that is... he seems to have issues....

World Crossing Sox Fans Are Back!!
Hey! JBN has set up a cubs board on the spanish version of Worldcrossing. Its still, since its on a different server.... http://puentemundial.com/WebX?23@211.bobUa...0@14%40.ee947c6 That is the link to the WSox board we set up there. This might be a bit tricky as all the instructions to sign up are in spanish... hopefully josh will be on soon and give us a run down on what to click on... albiet i got thru it so it cant be that bad... Just remember to verify the email they send you when you signup so u can post over there. All the buttons are in the same place (read new... etc) just in spanish... so spaceially (SP?) its set up the same..
