There is a story on the Tribune website concerning the manager search, seems tides may have changed.

The best part though...."if people continue to download music for free....the musical artists will be forced to live in only a semi-lap of luxury. You kids don't want that" Fantastic potshot at the RIAA and their lunacy. Trey Parker and Matt Stone continue to find ways to use their animated characters to poke fun at real life idiosyncrasies.

But IMO the Dr. Murcie's Lounge of Love should definately retain its name, even though we are losing Murcie for now. Hopefully he'll be back soon enough, and the Love Lounge will be alive and kicking.

Damn, thanks BE GOOD. I appreciate the kind words. Too bad I had to pay Jas a $12.95/month service fee to let me Mod!!! Sssshh...don't let people know the trick...Bribery really works There are PLENTY of ways of which I can bribe you!!! Nah...Carlos doesn't interest me Well, if you are lucky Jas, you'll get to ride in the Saturn f***ing Ion!!! I have been fortunate enough to do so, and feel blessed for it.

I think Brees has what it takes to be a solid NFL QB, but I'm not sure if he is mentally ready to face the rigors of 250 lb linebackers coming full speed at him yet. They really, REALLY need an established WR that isn't a head case(-see David Boston). He really has no weapons at his disposal. Honestly, do the names Tim Dwight, Eric Parker, and Reche Caldwell strike fear in any NFL cornerbacks head? Its truly amazing that Tomlinson can do what he does with all opposing defenses keyed on the run right now.

You got it, YASNY, thanks for the vote of confidence on my thoughts King George will be ready to overspend, and no reason not to be on the good side of his impending high-priced player swap

And another Jess Alba:

No doubt, Amanda Byrnes is built well. I'm not too keen on that Hilalry Duff, but that may be because its ILLEGAL for me to be keen on her!!! Well, actually, I just don't think she is all that, but thats just IMO. I'll post my future Ex-wife for you all though...

AND, my friends, he is our 3rd catcher also. Did ya know that? Tony G is a great asset to a team, a guy that can fill in when needed, is adequate, not great, at several positions, and doesn't mind being the utility player on a team that can win. He made 675K last year in 2003, if we can get him for 600K, I don't see why you don't bring him back. I think he would return, as long as he isn't offered a starting job elsewhere.

And he'll have Flutie Flakes handing him the ball!! Brees has had a MAJOR sophomore season slump. He is in a major funk right now, not accurate in the least with his passes.
-
Honestly, BE GOOD, the 'Fins went up against the 2nd hottest team in the NFL(with Tennessee being the 1st). When Peyton is on his game, and he has Harrison, Wayne, Pollard, etc to throw the ball to, not too many teams in the league are gonna do much with them. Especially since Dungy has done such great things with that Indy D.

Oh, and BTW, in case it hasnt been said, Welcome to Soxtalk krammer99!!!
-
Oh contraire, mon fraire.....uh, I think thats how you spell that. Don't discount Favre when its a must win situation. The guy is one of the best in the game All-Time, whether Bears fans like it or not. Minny is semi-reeling after these last couple of games.

Damn Apu....thats pretty sad. Kinda hard to preach against one "evil" to the masses, and partake in that same evil with young boys. :puke I say to most of the "Higher" Ups in corporate America

Well, heres something concerning Cito that worries me a bit. You will find the answers to your questions here, DBAH0. From Saturdays Chicago-Tribune, here if you want to read it for yourself: OK, that is precisely NOT what we need. But, then again, I am not so sure I want Ozzie in here at age 39. Somehow I believe that would create potential animosity with some fo the vets, a la Sandy and Frank. So then, apparently IMO neither is the right choice for this team, but coincidentally it looks like one of the 2 above WILL be our manager.

Actually, I think KW would trade Maggs before any other GM would. KW doesnt have the emotional attachment to some of these guys that the rest of the Front Office do. K-Dub realizes that if he wants to field a team that can make some postseason noise, it may be very necessary to not have a 14 million dollar clog in your payroll system. If the right offer comes along, KW pulls the trigger IMO, and doesn't think twice. Soriano and a prospect(do the Yanks still have a minor league system?? , or are the other MLB teams it) will get the Yanks Ordonez.

It is unfortunately not who we should WANT to keep on this team, but who we can AFFORD to keep. No 1 player should make 20% of your designated payroll for a 25 man roster. Its not economically sound. I want Maggs here as much as anyone, but if the right offer is made, then I'm sorry, but he has to go. Soriano is a)younger; b)cheaper; c)fills a position we need. He can put up similar or even better numbers than Maggs, and he doesnt put a strain on the teams finances like Maggs. If Ordonez wants to restructure his 2004 salary, provided it comes along with a 2-3 year extension, then I say please lets do it. But if not, then something must be done.
-
Well, I don't think you are gonna get more than Soriano + pitching prospect for Maggs. No chance they throw in Nick Johnson also. It would have to be a Maggs + Rauch/Cotts type deal for Soriano + Johnson, and even that most likely will not be enough.
-
You got it, man. That is the situation. The numbers are there for Soriano, and at a MUCH cheaper price. I am probably in the minority here, but I'm all for that trade.
