Me too, I am just throwing that name out there as an overpaid bum that fits the salary constraints.

Once again I will say this, Damaso is way to important to save until the 9th inning. There were so many games last year that we would have never gotten to use the closer, if it hadn't have been for Marte. He needs to be out there in the key situations in the 6th, 7th, and 8th innings, to get the game to the closer.

Ask him about Plan B, and if there are any surprise players that the Sox could be targeting in the offseason.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. KW said in Sept that if we couldn't get an extension done with Bart early that we weren't going to wait for him, and we would move on. Now we are on to Plan B, whatever that is.

Oh you've got a coon for a boss... that explains it.

But for every Rangers team, there are teams like Ottawa who have zero budget and still put awesome teams on the ice. It can be done. True but there aren't enough small budget teams like Ottawa who r winnin. Maybe a Salary Cap is on the agenda in the next CBA to help stop rising player salaries and to keep a level playing field. Hockey needs a salary cap worse than baseball.

Well they managed to stretch their unbeaten streak to 5, with a 2-2 tie to the Coyotes.

OK so lets start the betting pool... JeffHenneman=Bmr, Clu, or Roman? You decide.

Isn't it obvious that this guy is a bitter troll, most likely one of the bannished? Don't get too wound up about this guy.

Damn who is going to count my pennies then? Hey good luck buddy. And if you get desparate there are plenty of jobs in IN for tellers

Sold. I will take anyone's money who wants to bet the Sox to win it all at 15-1.

To Jeremy! And here is to much more hardware coming your way

This is an interesting story about the guy behind all of this controversy, Vince Conte. This is from ESPN.com

Sorry man, Hinrich was a desparation pick after the injury to Williams. He was picked way to high. At best he might develop into a Steve Kerr type player. At worst, 3 years and out of the NBA.

Any idea where they actually landed in the BCS? They aren't in the top 15.

Totally agree here. I think Colon's decision to turn down the Sox offer may end up working in the Sox favor. Colon's agent is looking for the Sox to bid on Colon against the Yankees and Red Sox. But (according to Gammons) the Red Sox are already committed to $110M in '04, unless they can unload Nomar (which would be a PR nightmare) they likely won't dabble in the Tier I FA market. So that leaves the Yankees. Colon has said he doesn't want to play there. But that is the only team that can afford the $ his agent is looking for. Who's to say that King George won't go after Milwood, Escobar, or resigning Pettitte? In the end the Sox deal may have been the best one out there for him. Colon wanted $12M, and he liked playing here. I think he got talked out of it by his agent. The Sox gave him the best deal - it works out for everyone. I do not fault the Sox organization - this is simply the case of an agent's greed. But if your the agent - this is your client's one shot at the BIG payday. It's hard to pass up. It is an interesting scenario unfolding. Red Sox are capped out basically. Bart said he does want to be a Yankee. The Dodgers are capped out. Seattle is tapped out, as is Arizona. Atlanta is cutting payroll, as are the Rangers. The Cubs can't and aren't going to pay $15 mil. The Mets are in a youth movement. The Angels seem to be trying for Tejada. Houston is talking to Pettite. The Phillies are looking to spend their money in the pen. The Giants aren't going to be big spenders. Teams such as Detroit, Montreal, KC, Cleveland, Florida, Tampa Bay, Oakland, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Colorado, Toronto, Cincinnati have no money to spend. The Cardinals want starting pitching, but can only afford to deal salary for salary. Really the only teams that have that kind of money this off season are San Diego and Baltimore. Both those teams seem to be looking more at impact hitters, but would they be interested in Colon at $15 mil per year?

Hinrich, Linton Johnson, and Jay Williams are put on IR. Roger Mason Jr will back up Crawford at PG, and Lonny Baxter will start at PF while Chandler gets healthy and plays himself back into shape.

The difference being we have no lead off hitter and no second baseman. We are much deeper in the OF. Plus Soriano's speed is just awesome. You can learn disipline, you can't learn speed.

I love your sig, Cali. That is one of the greatest line in That 70's Show.

Maybe, but definately not long term. It really would depend on the moves by the money teams. There might not be a team with 8-10 mil to spend on a DH.

Damn. That sucks
