I'm sorry, but this trade makes EVEN LESS sense than the $5 mill option for JosE6. Yeah, Koch had a bad year, and we signed him to a 2 year contract before we saw him collapse. But that makes you want to trade him for an EXTREMELY overrated, aextremely overpaid OFer in Cedeno that we don't even have room for? WTF Kenny, get your s*** together. If they do this, then its almost guaranteed that Gordon will be brought back, wasting another $5 mill. Jeezus, I'm completely lost right now in terms of what the hell KW is trying to do, and methinks he is confused also.

Hehe, this is off topic, but that made me remember one of my favorite quotes from Coming to America: "You know him from the 'Whats Goin' Down" episode of 'Thats My Mama", ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Mr. RANDY WATSON!!!"

BE Good, GREAT showing by your boys today. I thought the Dolphins annual collapse usually didn't happen until December??

Are the Cowboys playin' a bit over their heads? Yes, of course they are. But regardless of that fact, the Cowboys Defense is quite possibly the best in the NFL. Not sure you can call that overrated. Don't think Defense can win NFL games? Ask Baltimore about that. True, the "Boys offense is nothing to be ecstatic about, but they have weapons at WR, hard for any othe Defense to cover Antonio Bryant, Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn, and 2 big ass catching TE like Whitten and Campbell.

Oh yeah! I'm a certified Leisure Suit Larry veteran. Played 'em all growing up. Those, and Police Quest, and King's Quest. Ah, all those great Sierra games from the past.

hehe, a fellow KaZaa cracker i see, eh Yahtzee

I fear Beastley is slipping back into wsc425 status, and we don't want that. Come on Beastley, you know better than that.

No what i'm sayinjg how can anyone say for us to sign a guy who's washed up Yeah, I gotcha, and I agree..just messin around

So, Josh, what you are really saying here is.... Sheesh!!! Did I get that right?

Well, I don't agree that Foulke ever did anything wrong here in 2002. The fact that he and KW had differing opinions, and let each other know sealed Keiths fate with the Sox. KW went ego trippin on Foulke, and traded him so he could make a point. "I am running this team, not the players Didn't seem to affect Foulkes performance, though

Congratz Cubssuck1, but now you know that you have to buy Paint Shop Pro 8, start asking for donations now1!

No, no, slick, I've been fighting the kill Billy Koch army since April of this year. I think that if he doesnt pick up a baseball until Spring Training, we may find ourselves with the Koch that we traded for.

I can just see KW giving him away now to the NYM, and him having a great year. I think that Konerko is a more viable option to clear payroll money than Koch is.

No need for Orlando Cabrera now, we got our 5 million dollar man back, Mr. Jose Valentin!!!! :puke

Well, I remember getting flamed earlier this year for saying that Loz would win comeback player of the year, for the same reasons said here. Glad at least MLB agreed with me

Yeah, if I ever see Everett in CF, it will be too soon. KochThis and myself said the exact same thing when I was in Chicago in July. This guy has NO idea how to play CF, cant hit the right cutoff, his positioning is awful, and his arm isn't exactly Vlad-like.

Yeah, control definately wasnt the issue, unfortunately too many times he knew how to throw it right where he wanted to. But when you do so at only 93 MPH, in Alan Embree-straight like fashon, you are gnona get pounded. I was one of the few people that was on Koch's side all year, and I think that as long as he doesnt pick up a baseball until February, he will be back. I see a 3.40 ERA, 35 Saves.

And, IMO, Garland at the #4 can be as good as alot of the other guys in the AL. That leaves the lottery pick for who get to be the #5.

I didn't mean to make it sound like it was gonna be "given" to Schoen, but that he is the hands on favorite to get the job, because he came in and did a job he didn't want to do. I think KW asked him to be bullpen help in 2003, on the condition that he would get a legitimate shot at the Starting Rotation in 2004

I'm really starting to think that KW is doing a decent job, but he is, in his mind, contradicting himself. He wants to keep key parts here that have been loyal to the club, and he wants to field a team that regardless of costs will compete well, but still is restricted by JR and the cheap regime. Therefore, sometimes he makes moves that are good money-wise(Sandy at 500-700K, bringing in 2-3 vet starters to ST to compete), but then he makes bone-headed moves like JosE6 at 5 mill and the obsurd contracts for Konerko and the severly backloaded Maggs contract. KW has too many conflicts of interest in his head, with being still a new GM, wanting to get talent to the Southside, club loyalty, JR's cheapness, etc. I don't envy him at all.

This picture screams Jailbait to me for some reason

Chalk that one up to the media. LeBron IMO will be a really good player in this league, as will Carmelo. I think its good for the NBA that they finally gave younger fans a reason to watch their "product" again. I for one absolutely hate the NBA, but even I was interested in watching Carmelo play, moreso than LeBron. NBA is just a space filler between football and baseball IMO.
