Wow. We were watching all of that stuff from where we were sitting. I hope you really are OK.

Baj is one guy we want to get in here next.

Actually it wasn't just a "He" thing. There are a solid bunch of posters who are only around when the team it bad, and revel in the doom and gloom. That is more who I was referring to.

Exactly. I call it payback for the "I told you so" crowd, who is conviently no where to be seen...

And Esteban was the 1st starter by May 1st...

And I was there for it. I was saying I don't think I have ever been to this big of a blowout/shutout. Now I know that for sure

His curveball was incredible today. I haven't seen him look as good as he did last night for a long time.

ITS A BAR

Good to hear the Sox made the right choice on Diaz. Now hopefully he takes the fifth spot and runs with it. How long has it been since we had a dependable 5th starter?

No it isn't. Scottie Pippen isn't 1/10 of the leader in the clubhouse that Robin is.

>Why people keep reading this stuff, I'll never know. Are there a lot of tabloid buyers on here?

THe biggest debate last night was, is 15-0 Koch proof? Discuss.

It will cost you up the ass to get them. Ticket prices for the Cubs are insane. Now if you wait until September they will be giving them away.

This is going to be a real interesting series this weekend. Hopefully the house is rocking on the southside.

Who cares if the Bulls couldn't do it, I can!

Wow. Could the sky be falling on the Northside? Stay tuned. Hopefully it isn't serious.

Shoot, Tejada was my first pick in a lot of my leagues (I picked #11 3 times this year)

Now if only they came up with a get your ass kicked by Andre Roy promo, I would be all over that

I know that they have one of the top catching prospects in the game. Other than that, I don't think that they have much. Also soon all of their draft picks from last year become eligible to be dealt. I don't know much about the Yankees farm system, but I know they will damn well try to get this guy, and are one of the few teams who can afford to pay a guy who is almost 40, $18 mil a year. That will be a big factor as well.

The Yankees have got to be the #1 in line for the Big Unit. They will mortgage the farm and include cash to get the guy. They need starting pitching BAD, and will do anything to get it. The only thing that might stop them is if there is any bad blood between Coangelo and Steinbrenner over the David Wells signing.

Seriously dude, do you know anything about cw's backround? You probably should know that before you go shooting off your mouth.

People have the opportunity to earn a lifetimes worth of wages, in about a year. That is a big lure for people. Think about the stories of some of the kidnapped. They needed the extra money.

More like "If you build it they will come, as long as it isn't too cold, or school isn't in session, or if the Cubs aren't in town, or if its a half price night, if the team is in first place, and if JR sells the team." This team is in first place, and drawing 12,000 people to weekday games. The only reason we even show an average of 19K is because of the openning day sell out. Take that away and we have to be at about 17K. People say a lot of things, but I don't see it.

I hadn't heard that before, but I will admit it would make sense.

This team is 24th in MLB in attendance and is drawing only 42.8% of capacity MLB attendance leaders This team is in first place, and still isn't drawing s***. When does the teams responsibilty end, and the fans start? They by far have the lowest attendance of any first place team. Even the Twins who lost as much as we did during the offseason are drawing 1000 more per night in that way inferior Metrodome. Geesh even KC who is HORRIBLE is out drawing the Sox.
