Damn next thing you will tell me is that Sam Smith trade rumors aren't true...

That's too bad. On the bright side, it looks like I am going to get to go see some Ft Wayne Komet hockey the day after Christmas, in the newly renovated Allen County War Memorial Colesieum.

This was on ESPN.com's MLB front page, no link.

Geesh, can you imagine Carlos not paying attention in LF. Which one is it?????

a.k.a. "over yonder"

Supposedly he was being stashed away somewhere in central america to insure his status as a free agent, before he comes to the US. Haven't heard anything since.

Wow what a coup. I bet Stein is doing a slow burn right now.

It sounds like it is players who could come over here, but it never really clearly spells that out. I too wonder where Matsui would rate against these other guys.

Yeah, only one person said anything bad about here, and really if you think about it, there were only a select few people who bashed WSI here, and of those most have been banned for doing the samethings here, as they probably did overthere.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this deal to happen. Griffey would fill two of our biggest needs in a CF and LH power hitter. Plus that deal would open up a ton of cash to resign our guys or go after another starter.

Damn, so when I am hiding in your bushes trying to get a shot off, I will have to remember to pull out half of your lights.

Does Cincy have the cash for that? By my quick crude figures, they would have to add at least $10 mil in payroll for '04. Plus Ken Griffey would have to approve it.

The comic of the day

If that is even the truth...

Good point about Simas and Howry...

Someone can't exactly read then. Here is the article.

I see it in the NFL all of the time, but I can't think of anyone in MLB who has renegotiated a contract. Anyone got any examples or links? This just seems like something the players association would ixnay right away.

That is pretty much where I was going to go with that question...

That is now the 2nd Bonds tie in to be involved in something like that. Barry is also associated with the THG ring. What are the odds that he isn't involved in using something? Slim to none if you ask me.

Out of where?

OK that makes a lot more sense. I guess my next question would be how do you ruin 6100 seats???

I think Urlacher is really missing Ted Washington. He is getting many more blocks on his than he used to. And actually is seems like Briggs is the one benefiting from Urlacher being bottled up.
