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.

Try using the direct tabs on the top of MSNBC.com page or even the ESPN pages. They have hyperlinks directly to Hotmail.

Damn. That sucks

Or Jeff Weaver.

He was "pressing"

Many people who have been banned at WSI have come over here to post, and still hold a grudge against WSI, their mods, or both.

OOh, the Pumpkins. Now that is a CD I need to dig out.

Or WERE they??? The new CD is great. Amazing. Hell Ya...just wait PA, they've got a great sound. Right now I have Ozma in my CD player. just bustin' some balls. It's hard being the musical elitist I am...I don't play well with others Or with yourself

I hope they raised a lot of money and supplies for the people out there who really need it.

Damn if Kobe ends up on the trade block, this could be interesting. I did read Sam Smith talking about a Chandler/Rose deal fitting under the cap, but would the Lakers go for a deal like that?

Shhhh you'll blow my cover

1. Beaches 2. The ExWives Club 3. Moulon Rouge

Paul McCartney Driving Rain. Specifically "Freedom"

Absolutely. If someone wants to pay him $5 mil, have at it...

Anyone else see this? It said that Bartolo does NOT want to pitch in NY. I wonder who else he thinks is going to offer him more than $12 mil a year? http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

The sad thing is that Soriano could have been a Cub, if the Sosa deal had ever gotten done.

Refer to my other post, you smart ass You mean other postS right? Just kidding Beastly. I say we just create him a forumn, that way the regular pages won't be so damned repetative...

Just to piss you off.
