Leighton gives up one goal and loses 1-0 http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=231030004

Yeah the Red Sox still owe him the difference of whatever he makes and what the Red Sox were supposed to pay him.

I said yesterday for Koch, Konerko and $5M for each year of the remainder of Manny's contract, I would take hime. Manny and Magglio would not need much more around thema dn this would be fun to watch. Magglio-Ramirez-Thomas-Lee would be very dangerous. That trade sounds ideal for both teams in theory, but I don't see Frank and Manny exsisting at all. I don't think that it is any coincidence that Frank had his worst years with Albert Belle here. Not only does Manny have all of Alberts edge, he doesn't have Belle's legendary work ethic. It would be bad things.

Well someone has until noon eastern time today to make that splash.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say this. If Sandy Alomar is worth class A compensation, don't resign him. I think what we could get out of a #1 pick, versus the year, maybe two of at most 80 games out of him, I say take the pick. That is even more so if we get a supplemental pick as well. Essentially we would have 3 picks before the second round started, plus picks from guys like Colon, Everett, and Gordon leaving. Heck we could have as many as 10 picks before the beginning of the second round!

I don't pay attention to what the analysts say about college hoops. I watch it myself and make my own opinions.

The thing about gun control is all we have to do is enforce the laws that we have on the books now. We don't need more laws and worthless legislation. We need results.

Overtime losses. Why do they count them, or what's the deal. A loss is a loss, is it not. They went to it a couple of years ago because the last 5 minutes of a tie game, and all of overtime everyone played not to lose, because they didn't want to lose the point. Now with being guarenteed a point for going to OT no matter what it gives people incentive to try to get the extra point for winning.

Overtime losses.

Duke has a good shot at it this year, as does Syracuse. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out. It does sound like the big ten will be down overall this year.

Tony G is a terrible SS. Worse than Jose, plus he can't hit RH pitching. I would much rather see Jose back, vs Tony G starting at SS.

Anyone who doesn't say fighting is lying. I love watching hockey live. No sport moves as fast, or as unpredictable.

The spooky vision episode is on. "you guys are my best friends, through thick and thin, we've always been together. Were four of a kind palling around and laughin all day, just best friends, best friends are we... I love you guys

But $14 million huge?

Ok smart guy, what artist in the last 50 years has had a more universal appeal and influence on music than the Beatles? The only name I can see mentioned is Elvis, and I would disagree with that.

At least he admitted he played badly last night. The test will be how he responds in his next game.

Sorry man, I was looking at the last post. on me

Just as a side note, our clubhouse cancer had 7 more Hr's, one more RBI, .060 less OPS and BA, a simliar SLG, and .037 less of a OBP. Is that worth $14 million?

Never knew how... I will give that a try. Thanks Kip!

I have a file I want to use as an av, but the link from the site is too long to fit within the space the site gives (by 2 characters) and when i saved it to my computer it saved as a .bmp file and it won't let me use that as an av. Anyone got any advice????

Not Carlos...He's on an upswing and is definitely a keeper for a while! Problem is his salary is going to start going up big time. He got paid $3.3 mil this year and is looking at least $5 this year, plus some big raises in the next couple years. The question that lies in that is could we find someone to take his place for less with the same or more skill than he possesses? Rowand has a while before he gets there, and guys like Ramierez will cost up the ass. He's worth the amount of which he is asking for. He's gonna be even better than last year next year offensively and defensively. He's consistently improving and will become an elite player before long. I've got very high visions for Carlos! It has nothing to do with if we can replace Carlos, and if he is worth the money. The problem is will Carlos's exponentially increasing salaries fit into the Sox budget along with the other money we have already committed.

I think this is a very astute point. Some people have thought that Colon with Pedro would be a great fit. Trying to dump Manny's salary likely sends a message to Colon's people. Maybe Colon's options ARE limited. Boston has already dropped big hints that the team as it is now, cannot afford Colon.
