5.00 is the Navarro line? Man I would have thought 6.00 at least if not 7 or 8!

Actually the intent of the government was never to be the nations biggest employer. Don't you realize all of those government employees with their huge benefits are being paid by you and I? I have no interest in having my tax dollars going to things that SHOULD be done by the private sector. the government has ZERO business being involved in so many of the things that it does. Do you realize how much less effecient at most private sector activities? I don't have the #'s on this but I would bet that it takes the government at least $1.25 to do what the private sector could do for a dollar. And the last part of your statement just bolsters my outrage at the system. It wasn't just a fight. This guy and his son made a blind attack on a defenseless person. It wasn't like two guys duking it out in a bar over a girl. These two guys nearly beat Gamboa senseless. They cost him part of his hearing permanently. He will never get back what these two lowlifes took from him. His punishment ends in 5 years, when does Gamboa's punishment for being in the wrong place at the wrong time end? HE DID NOTHING! And IF someone attacked me or anyone else in a way that Gamboa was attacked along with all of the other illegal things he was doing at the time (criminal tresspassing, high on 5 drugs, intoxication etc..) He should get more than 5 damned years. Once again our goverment is so worried about things like sex, censorship and other moral issues that have no bearing on another persons life, and wasting our resourses, that legimate needs of society from their government gets short changed

cool, the more the merrier!

You don't give a guy that big of a % of your teams salary if your a lower market team or a lower payroll team. Its just not smart cause it handcuffs you with all other deals. I think they can sign him for 10 mill a year and at that price its alright to have one high priced guy. And there is no way that Maggs takes a 30% paycut. Heck someone will give him at least what he was making, if not more.

Thanks Jas, I couldn't remember who was doing them so I figured I ask. And tell him to come up with a luckier wallpaper, May's was like a kick in the nuts!

Now you are talking Jerry's language!!!

I was thinking the same thing myself. Welcome over Bob!

Well tonight ought to be another occasion for this thread to be used. Tor going for the sweep, and Jon Garland on the mound.

I agree. Maggs should bat third if Thomas is not starting or hurt. Lee bats cleanup until Konerko starts SOMETHING. Rios or Daubach or anyone else batting 3rd would be a mistake, and it shows. I wouldn't hit Carlos behind Maggs. It gives Carlos more protection with him in front of Maggs. I would hit Val #2 Carlos #3 and Maggs #4, with Frank on the bench.

meh, samething

I am going to go out on a limb and say Frank Thomas

I'm not sure who did April and May's but is anyone going to do a June Soxnet/Soxtalk wallpaper???

Enjoy. Read only if you don't offend easily!!! http://www.theonion.com/onion3920/its_not_easy.html

But you can never have enough pitching...nevermind if your system is devoid of ready made positional talent... I told you guys ESPN had a wealth of undiscovered posting talent If only LSD, Rdivaldi, Boog and whitesox6011 could be enticed to switch over..... God anyone but Boog... I miss the rest of those guys though. Not to be all horn-tooting about it...but as soon as I signed up here I was practically begging Rio to bribe B-Joe, you, EJ and the rest of the gang into coming over... Yay fror me! Who did you post as over there? DimaAl88. I posted a bit in late 2000 and a few more times in 2001. But I do remember you guys though and i remember Mario just starting out with SN. I gotcha. I remember hearing about some of you guys from some of the "old timers" I take it you kept reading the board then for a while. What made you leave it?

Don't forget a lot of BEER!

Well it seems like we don't have to worry about any of these things happening

I could be wrong for sure. When it was announced that is how we at ESPN.com understood the deal, as far as I can remember...

That isn't how I understood the deal. I thought it was a series of 4 1 year deals with dual buyout options for both parties. If one party wanted out of the deal they could pay something like $2.5 mil and the rest of the deals were null and void. The talk was that if Frank had a big year he could buy it out and walk away for a huge contract.
