  1. well, if I can get Scott Williamson for Jon Rauh, I may have to say yes. I want to keep Wright, and let him grow accustomed to being in the Bullpen. I don't want him to start in our rotation, maybe ever again, but as a setup guy or closer, yes.
  2. Hard to rebuild when we never were built to start with, although I understand your point.
  3. And yet...so very pointless also.
  4. I'm speaking in terms of the better fit for THIS team, and its no question, Willie Harris. Is he ready to play everyday? Well, we'll find out in 2004.
  5. Willie beats Robbie where it matters most to JR and crew: Roberto Alomar 2B NYM Signed Nov 1998 - 5 years/$38M 1999: $6.5M (+$1.0M signing bonus) 2000: $7.0M 2001: $7.5M 2002: $8.0M 2003: $8.0M option exercised 2004: Free Agent Willie Harris 2B CWS 2003: $300K Need anything else be said? Besides, it isn't financially responsible to pay an aging Robbie not only 3+ mill, but have to for 2 years.
  6. Topics Merged......for her pleasure.
  7. Honestly guys, you raelly can't compare Harris' output in MLB to Robbies output, and say who is better. How much playing time has Willie had as a starting second baseman? About 1.5-2 months MAYBE? Of course the comparison has no grounds for basis IMO. But hopefully Willie will grow into a 2Ber who will stay around for a while. He has the speed, ability to bunt, and has shown at times to be able to put the ball in play. Robbie is, no doubt, one of the best second basemen in the history of the game. But Robbie is also not 25 years old anymore, and his skills are fading as an everyday player. He can still play the filed better than 70% of the stiffs in MLB, but I can't justify paying 3 or more million per year for 2 years to a guy who has diminished skills at the plate.

    Well, for about 3 years straight, I waited on ASB to come out. Every year i bought it, and every year i was disappointed. Regardless of what anyone says, the batting interface flat out sucks. The detail of the game was quite sufficient, but what fun is it when you either get 2 hits an entire game with the regular interface, or 40 with the easy interface?

    Good Lord, thats a blast from the past!!! I always thought she was hot way back then...she turned out quite alright!
  10. I like Double Deuce action more!!! "I tried to make a prototype, but all I came up with was 'Smells Like Peanut Action' Strong Bad."
  11. Merged with other thread on this topic. Ya'll are some double posing fools tonight!!
  12. I dunno.....thats teh appeal of Monday Night Football I think to most teams. Being the one spotlight game of the day. ABC just needs to watch who they schedule late in the year, from say Week 13 on. Go with the safe teams: St. Louis, Philadelphia, New England...and if those fail, put Green Bay on. John Madden can fill up 3 hours of commentating talking about Favre alone Just say no, NFL

    Its mass chaos!!! Posts have been merged, and the masses are confused!!!! Hehe, whoever thought of the idea for the awards, congrats. I've been away from the boards a bit, but will do my best to be the overseer of Message Board conversation that I'm supposed to be.
  14. Hear is not the place to make fun of whether or not someone nos how to spell or not!!
  15. Truth hurts us all sometimes....its ok Heather. I didn't say anything slanderous towards you, but feel free to sling all the mud my direction you want. My feelings won't be hurt. I only spoke my obsevations of the truth. Faonof14, I agree. Luckily us Pack fans have a legitimate running game in Ahman Green for the first time in quite some time. Favre doesn't have to be the hero all the time luckily.
  16. Well, its still the era that I was alive for the most of, and I love every minute of it....just can't figure out how this team lost to Detroit.
  17. Hehe.....I get all giddy when Favre plays the Bears.....the game is over before it starts
  18. Wow...Fox realized what an incredibly large FUBAR they made by cancelling Family Guy the first time. Unfortunately, it took making millions off of the DVDs to see it, but whatever it takes to get the show back on TV, I'm all for.
  19. OMG....Holy s***....thats sadly, one of the funniest things I've read on the internet in quite a while. I WANT MY MAYONAISE, DAMINT!!!!!!!

    C'mon Brando...after his solid 2nd half this year, Jonny Garland at least deserves a short-term reprieve from the "Judy" title. If/When he reverts back to his lackluster performance level, THEN we can go back to Judy Garland.

    Not sure if I can put 5 on here, but I know I sure as hell can put one on here: Foo Fighters- 'One by One' Without a doubt, Dave, Taylor and the boys are gettin better with each release.
  22. I already got it FSJ....good stuff....although I like some of the less covered Foo songs in concert, the DVD shows the thought process they put into their set lists. Interestingly, one sone from the first self titled CD that always seems to find its way on the list: "For All the Cows" Interesting choice.
  23. Honestly, I'll go completely the opposite way on this one. I believe it has NOTHING to do with academics at all. It is TCU's best effort at a pot-shot towards the BCS. They feel they were screwed out of it all, knew they didnt really have a chance to get to the BCS even being undefeated, and said "You know what...this particular bowl is an insult to what we accomplished." Do I agree with their choice? Hell no, the team deserves to be featured on primetime TV for their efforts, but too many times College Football burecratics get in the way.

    Let me one of the first to say, Welcome white sox in '04!!!!
  25. Agreed, GREAT point FSJ. The fact that one of my now favorite artists of all time, Foo Fighters, were able to come out of the Cobain fiasco, stands as a positive. Dave Grohl has come a LONG way since being teh background drummer of Nirvana.
