Someone said his computer puked.

I wouldn't do it if I were the Cubs. Stud pitching beats Stud hitting. I do think thats as fair as it would get though. I don't think there could be any straight up trade that would be closer. I happened to be thinking yesterday of what the Cubs would think of with this package. Jose Valentin and Bartolo Colon to the Cubs (Or Mark Buehrle) and the Sox get Carlos Zambrono and Juan Cruz or that Guzman kid in return. I was also thinking that since the Cubs have fallen out of favor with Bobby Hill that he could be had for Jose Valentin and a reliever. Although this would be a very tough sell. I wouldn't want Bobby Hill and Scott Borass on the southside. We already had the disaster of drafting that no talent ass clown. No thank you. Well, I want to find a way to get Carlos Zambrono. I'd love having him on our pitching staff. He's a younger, cheaper Bartolo Colon in a sense. He has an amazing arm and is a workhorse. Plus throw in Cruz and you get two dynamite arms. I think if the Sox gave the Cubs a hitter or two and Colon they could lure some damn good players. This might put me on and Island by myself but all things considered (current contract situations etc..) but if the Cubs called and offered Carlos Zambrano for Bartolo Colon, I would do it in a heart beat. And if they wanted to add in Juan Cruz for Jose Valentin I would do it twice as quick.

This is what MB had to say to the Trib after the series Ugh.. geezus. Can't he just be quiet? LOL, he must have been hanging out with Frank again...

My wife is 200 pages into that book already as of bed time last night.

This is the lastest on JWill. I wonder if this changes who the Bulls will draft on Thursday?

Yeah he held out for the whole year and went back into the draft. The "negotiations" were BS Borass asked for a ton of money and we wouldn't give it to him. End of story.

Dont even remind me of that call on Crede's (Should have been) HR! Everyone that was in the chatroom that game remembers how pissed I was! And does anyone have any idea what our record is since that happened? We were 12-8 going into that game. Since then we have played .418 ball going 23-32! I remember saying a game like that could be a turning point. Well there you go.

The other rumor I just saw on ESPN was that the Pirates were talking about a Giles for Weaver deal.

Maybe without Lou Pinella as MGR. But it would be a quick series. I would almost rather face the Yankees. Almost rather? I would in a heartbeat. Ritual suicide or a quick death, I guess it is personal preferance. I think we ususally play better against the Yankees, but either way we are going home quickly.

Just saw someone mention this, and was curious what other people thought. Albert Pujols to the Cubs for Mark Prior.

He's like 14. Besides you always get upset when people rag on you get pissed off. Think about how you would react to the things you are saying and how often you are saying them...

When the all star game was at the Urinal last time (1990) who were the Sox reps?

Go to a half price Monday....

You aren't going to partake in all of the excitment that Iowa has to offer?

Has he played as a bench player before? Does he have the mentality to handle that?

Saturday and Sunday....?? The usual meeting place...?? Is GUG going to blow us off again... ?? Michelle, going all 3 days? as much as i hate to do it, yeah im going all 3... i just dont like the crowd.....last year keaddy had to hold me back from tossing a loudmouthed drunken scrubfan over the railing.. gosh i hate them coming into our house.. ... i dont know about the tailgate thing yet cause someone hasnt called back with the details.........if i dont get that call soon then we will plan our own party ok........... LOL.. wonder who that "someone" is :-) Let me know if I need to bring anything. I'm going to have the baby with us Friday!! Wait till you guys meet her! tenative plans.... tailgate... we plan to be there around 10amish.....set up and cook....just bring what you want to drink and if you want something other than burgers on the grill then bring it too.......that goes for anyone who plans on showing up...........see you all friday morning..... HSC, what lot are you guys going to be in? And also I heard the rumor that there is no cash parking for the series, have you heard anything to that affect?

What is it with all of the damned whining from our "aces"? Colon is tired, Mark doesn't want to pitch in the Dome.... Suck it up!

http://baseball.espn.go.com/mlb/players/pr...le?statsId=6871 He his hitting .335 this year with about twice as many HRs and RBIs as Crede has.

I have nothing against Crede, but those two TX 3B are the real deal. I think both of their upsides are better than Crede's, IMHO.

No he was good, but not great. And it is a sad tragic story. I was glad to see the moments of silence and such for him.

Well I will say this much. This might not make the season, but if the Twins kick our asses, it could certianly break this season.

Val led the way with 4 points. Pickers were HSC, Whitesox247, and winning for his first time since coming to Soxtalk, Sox4lifePA
