Millwood is looking for Magglio type money... IE too expensive for us. Ponson is sounding like a virtual lock for Baltimore. Sounds like the Sox are going to have to scavenge the non tenders or make some kind of a trade.

Just goes to show you that the cats were smarter than the dog. At least the cats were trying to survive

Damned skippy

Well that isn't until AFTER I take my trench coat off (whiny damned kids)

are we not allowed to download .bmp files? I have a pic and I can't get it to work????

Damn all they ever ask me is if I would like fries with that

You do have something here. I do think it is great that the all mighty Scott Borass thought he could work his magic and manipulate the system again, and failed miserably, wreaking all kinds of havoc all over MLB.

The difference is the all of the principles agreed on the new deal. If all parties agreed who is the union to step in? If someone DIDN'T like it, then by all means, yes the union should step it.

Actually IMO almost as detremental is the fact that the league also has an anti-trust exemption. On the whole ARod trade, I was really hoping that Selig would have taken the union before an arbitration judge to try to weaken them. Baseball needs to be put back on level ground, but as long as the union is holding up the game for their own selfish gains, the casual fan will continue their exodus to other sports, or even away from the sesspool that is prosports in the 21st century

The 8th highest price ever knowingly paid for a baseball. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1689926 I wonder if it was a Sox fan or Marlins fan that bought it.

Not even close! Pedro-Schilling Mussina-Vazquez Wood-Prior Pettitte-Oswalt/Miller Mulder-Zito/Hudson I would rather have any of those duos at the top of my rotation, vs Loz and MB.

Beastly is subtle like Bush foriegn policy is subtle.

Have a safe trip, the weather hasn't sounded to cooperative.

Damn Gash. I am really sad to hear that. I personally have been so excited about the quality of the board lately, and the incredible influx of talented posters we have experienced, plus emerging from the terrible troll period. I hope you don't stay away at all, but if you have to do it, good luck, and I know I will miss your postings. Hurry back man!!!!!

Yup But we could use a better mascot, PA whines too much

We are getting the band back together! It is great to see so many of my favorite old posters over here (except PA that is), I think we have me, PA, Beverly, BridgeportJoe, 1422, BigRed, and I am sure that I am forgetting others, and sorry if I have. But rock on!

Admin of the year Can I change my vote?

I beat you by a couple of days :finger But Just in Case WELCOME INTO SOXTALK BIGRED!!!

I wonder if we can even get any of these guys interest to come pitch here...Since we seem to be such a popular free agent destination.

All right you finally made it. Post #1

Megablockbuster is right. Except you'll have to pay like Kenny Williams dealing with Billy Beane to do it.

I live 20 minutes from Valpo (actually have met all of the Drews on different occasions) and follow them pretty closely. I would agree with the young assessment. I haven't watched them play yet this year though, so I can't tell you how much upside there is on that team. Usually the Drews do a killer job of bringing in international studs, the problem being they take longer to acclimate.

Good for Zoom and Kruetz. Olin has singlehandedly been the O line at times this year, and has had to do so much more to pick up the slack with all of the injuries. Urlacher doesn't deserve to go, but such is fan voting. I do have a feeling that Peanut will be there next year.

Redhawk(with some#attached) and Maggsmaggs were the other ID's.
