Given the choice to only fire one person, is it Manuel or Kenny and why?

No. Hell no. And I believe you would get your ass kicked for saying something like that.

Usually tickets are $15 a day or $30 for the whole weekend. If you stay at the hotel for one night it is $149 (I believe) but you get 4 free passes to the fest, and if you stay both nights it is $249 (once again IIRC) but you get the 4 free passes plus a private autograph sesssion. It is a ton of fun, and I will probably go again this year.

He's on GARLAND? What about the rest of this piss pour team? At least Garland showed up, what about guys like Thomas, Konkero, Valentin, Olivo and others who just went through the motions for weeks at a time? Singling out one pitcher, when the pitching saved our asses all year, is ignorant.

Boy is that the truth. We actually left earlier from a baseball game for the first time I can remember. And we went to go see the Hawks. I tell you what Tuomo Ruutu has more heart than this whole team combined.

Did Rauch gain back any of his speed at the end of the year? Is it possible that the surgery he had just took that long to recover from, or is this guy done?

I will say a couple of things. #1 this thread was entertaining. Some of the creative slams were pretty funny, in my demented opinion. #2 some people might need a time out from here for a while. There are a lot of sensative and defensive people. There is no real purpose served by lashing out at people. JMO for whatever it is worth

Maybe in a couple of years they could have some wins. They need another goalie (Lieghton and Anderson sucked) and some better Dmen, but the kids I saw last night (Ruutu and Radulov have a lot of talent, Seabrook and the other rookie #1 were scratches) can play. This team could develop into a Vancouver type team in a couple of years, if guys like Zhamnov, Daze and company stick around.

I actually got freebie tickets to last nights exhibition game for the Hawks and I will tell you this much. Tuomo Ruutu is going to be the next big star in this town. He is incredible. I have never seen a European player play that physical of a game. He had some open ice hits that were beaut's. Plus his puck handling and passing were very pretty. He has an incrediblely polished game for such a young player. I am ready to go get my Ruutu jersey already. Roenick is a good comparision of style of game, except I think JR had a better shot, and Tuomo is a much better passer.

My guess is that you could count the number of people who could debate with you on one hand, so they result to personal insults out of jealousy. Wrong, right or indifferent become immaterial. Because you are the most vocally anti-Bush you are now associated AS the movement.

I doubt Vlad goes to NYC. He has stated on many occasions that he likes the quiet of MTL, and wants to play somewhere like that. Baltimore might be a good idea, as maybe San Diego.

Just to weigh in. I don't like the thread being closed either. All it was was namecalling. No physical harm was being threatened, nothing racist, sexist, etc, was being done. If we are going to lock threads everytime name calling starts this is going to be a s***ty board to post on.

MSU beats the Fighting Irish 22-16.

Schow can't get out RHers. He is never going to be a good starter. Book it.

That comes from hitting most of his homers in the first inning.

OK how soon til someone saids Frank was "misquoted"?

After all of the s*** that Sox players directed at the Twins in the last couple of years, what did you expect. We sucked, they kicked our asses, and they have bragging rights.

As weird as it sounds these kind of reasons are probably the biggest reason that I don't want to see an all Chicago series...

Hey Bull good for you, stay in school and get that degree! I am glad to see you are sticking with that. That way even if the big time doesn't work out, you still have a future. Thanks again for all of the info this year. Don't be a stranger and keep us posted on what happens over the winter and spring.

Gee yet another reason that having an owner as commish is conflict of interest? No other business field could get away with this. Yet baseball does because of its anti-trust exemption.

WCIU. Where shows go to die.

CW you like Backman , I do not , you got your opinion on him so do I. you miss the point it is not about opinion it is use of the word "s***ty" to describe someone who has been a very successful minor league manager tell me exactly why he is "s***ty" to say you don't think that he is the person for the job is one thing and that is an opinion, right or wrong, it is legitimate to use words like "s***ty" to describe makes it something different and that is the point If you used the word "s***ty" to describe Manuel's record, that is also not the point because there is a track record there and whether I agree or not it is fair use but what has wally backman ever done to deserve such harsh language, that is the point Point is CW , he is s***ty, f*** Mr. Southern League and again i ask why do you think this.. i want your opinion ... maybe you know something about the man i dont...just lookin for other options here.......thanks..... Because it is easy to say he is "s***ty". It takes research, knowledge, rational, and work to be able to say why. thats what i thought thats why i kept on asking....... of course if there was a personal experience he had with the guy i was wondering what it was.....we all share here dont we???? Yeah, notice who never came back to explain anything...

Hey no fair, he stole my answer

Harry did that pretty much til his death if memory serves me.
