thank you. i completely agree. by the way, whoever said that vasquez could get a cy young for us next year is jerking off. i just saw a pig fly by my window. :puke

i dont care if pods "potential" has maxed out [i partially agree with you though]. i do not regret trading rowand over podsednik.

go ahead, hendry. i hope they sign jones. they are without doubt going to remain out of first place and the wild card

me too. i doubt any trade of garland when he had such a great year last year and he has one year left on his contract. vasquez is just another highly overpaid player.

not a bad move for the dodgers. alomar is a good mentor. he's been around the block. it cant hurt. the dodgers sure are making a lot of moves. they are trying to make LA a dodger town again

sorry man, your prediction is a pipe dream. southside is right. of course if i am wrong, i will most certainly eat crow.

i agree. i hate espn with all my soul. especially kurkjan

with the crappy FA market and the relative value of marte (he could be pretty valuable to a cellar sweller like the p-rats, i would think they could get more. bradley is a bum, anyway.

i second that

call conseco a rat, scumbag, whatever you want, but his accusations are slowly turning out to be mostly true. i'm willing to believe conseco at this point.

marte has his flaws, but hes not atrocious. he had some good moments and does have some value. i wouldnt imply marte to be totally worthless.

a lot of people (cough gammons) picked the tigers to win the division last year. i dont think we have to worry about the tigers.

i trust my post was innaporopriate because of the language. sorry, YASNY and everyone, i have edited it out. i did not know that i would get in trouble for foul language until i was alerted to that fact.

that's a-rods fault for not making his own decision then. the power an agent has depends on the player's assertion. a-rod could have relegated boras' role to more detail-oriented stuff.

KC might do that. what do they have to lose?

i feel ya. i also take great pleasure in the suffering of cubs fans. hendry really f***ed it up this offseason by making no moves that are worth a damn. i am looking forward to another sox world series championship paired with a total self-destruction effort by the cubs.

like i say everytime he comes up, manny is a plague. soriano's prime is also passed. the trade may be ok for both teams, im just glad we dont have that f***ing bum ramirez on our team.

exactly why i dont think we will be getting pierre. KW has faith in the kid (anderson), and with our salary basically set, i dont see us overpaying (and it will be a gross overpayment, in my opinion, no matter who gets him).

no, i think flash gordon, kyle farnsworth, and bj ryan all tie for that honor

lets not and say we did :puke

then why doesnt everyone just save themselves the trouble of hating a single agent (boras) and hate every one of them, since every agent will do what boras does to maximize the cut of the contract they make. they are lawyers...need i saw more? and it is the same thing as dell, whoever refuted that, since you know, undeniably, that dell or any other company in any other industry will always try to dominate the market and drive up prices. walmart does it in small towns all across the country, microsoft has done it with windows products, entertainment companies do it all the time (how many times have record companies been caught? more than i can count), even our own team does it, in effect, by raising prices after a world championship. you all can hate and hate and b**** and b****, but unless you prefer socialism and love cuba and you want to move there, thats the way western society works. thats all i'm saying. i should also note that i am a huge hypocrit and i catch myself hating things and people all the time for reasons like this. im just being objective, i guess.

you are like the kid in high school who hates the assistant principle, the one that is the disciplinarian. if that guy is gone, another will fill his shoes and do the same thing. welcome to reality. its the same thing with boras- if all his clients were to fire him, there would be some other aggressive agent who would pick all those clients up. so no, i dont follow, because thats the way business works in a capitalist society, regardless of what industry you are in. (i did not see your edit until i posted this)

so hes the most hated man on soxtalk because he gets good $ for his clients. sounds like some people on here are unappreciative of someone being good at their job. i could hate dell for selling the most computers, but i dont, because its business, and they're damn good at it, otherwise they wouldnt be #1 in the industry. its exactly the same thing.

AGAIN...who cares who his agent is? if crede wants to stay in chicago, he will. just like kong turned down an extra 5 mil to stay in chicago. what's boras going to do, put a gun to KW's head? someone please tell me why boras is different from any other agent in the bigs.

i believe he was born and raised on the south side as well
