QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) Britton is a reliever, so, meh. Sanchez has injury issues. Hughes will not be traded. Clippard is the name you need to learn here. Durable. High strikeout rate. Good control. Young, or age appropriate for top prospect status, for his league. Logic is nice and all, but that all goes out the window when Boston steals the spotlight from The Boss. If the Red Sox get both Datsuska and Drew, the Boss will give his first born child to get players into the Big Apple, especially pitchers. Plus they know with the overvalue of starting pitching, if the Yankees won't give up what Kenny wants, someone else will, and then the Yankees are in even bigger trouble.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) El Duque is reportedly close to signing a 2-year/$12M deal with the Mets. That's a 2-year commitment to a player over 40 who has averaged 140 innings with an ERA+ of 92. And people wonder why one year of Garcia at 10M is an attractive option. Also, Boras has sent out his portfolio to interested teams on Zito. The discussion reportedly begins at 7/$105M. LOL! That puts a smile on my face, just knowing that the value for whatever pitcher we choose to deal is HUGE.

This story is pretty graphic and gut-wrenching. its not for the faint of heart. I am not going to put up any exerpts on purpose, because I don't want people to see it, who aren't ready to read it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15704030/site/newsweek

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6111300722.html Pelosi's anti-corruption statements are really coming into question with her backing of Murtha.

I am waiting to see if Barack Obama declares...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) Why is it that the Yankees are not only the team I don't expect to come calling, they're the team I least want to see come calling? Britton, Sanchez, and Hughes have to be names that KW would like to see in return for one of his starters.

This year is so much more exciting for me with it being Madison's first year of "getting" Christmas. I am having so much fun trying to find stuff for her, all though I still really like to get stuff too :0)

When should we be over for dinner?

I got my tickets to go see the King Tut exhibit on Sunday

Anyone here do this? Well obviously my second life is here, so I was curious what others thought about this? http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/11/13/second....sity/index.html http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationw...1&cset=true

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Nov 14, 2006 -> 09:41 AM) I know this is beside your point, but I've bought three ps2's and they all broke. I have had the sameone for 5 years this Christmas.

Yawn. Maybe in a few years, but the whole $600 price tag, plus artificial scarcity equals no interest from me. My PS 2 works just fine, thank you.

Direct deposit is the best thing ever. It gives assclowns like National City and Sox4lifePA one less chance to screw up something as simple as a deposit

Happy Birthday to one of the best people on Soxtalk

Paypal is paying over 5% as well. BTW, NEVER EVER use National City. They are the worst bank ever. Ask me how they tried to ruin Madison's first birthday party... if you dare.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) Gammons - Boston won bidding with 42 million Sports Illustrated - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/base...drew/index.html So, Boston just has 55+ million laying around this offseason? HOw the hell can they afford this? Hooray for the New England Yankees.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) The funny thing is they could have done this before the election and made it look like Bush was taking control to get something done and move past their mistakes. It would have totally taken back the fixing Iraq card for a lot of the upset conservatives. For being the most incrediblely sinister and evil geniuses to ever exsist on the world's political stage, the repubs sure can be pretty dense at times. Maybe I should send my resume into the republician party re: the leader of the party? http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/12/rum...t.if/index.html

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) Great! Chicago following in New York's footsteps. Chicago doesn't claim Kotex-boy. You can thanks Pittsburgh and Miami of Ohio for that mess.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) Mike Lupica has also authored some books. Which coincidentally is who Jay stole his whole, "I know everything better than everyone else" schtick from.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 12, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) Miles hasn't even played a game yet because of knee problems and now he's out because he is having surgery on the knee. Which bodes well for the Blazers. I think guys like Miles are best desribed by the old cliche, "addition by subtraction."
