Why would the cash-strapped A's go after Wickman, especially since he hasn't pitched in over a year? This story is BS, I believe.

I will be renewing, looking forward to batting practice at the Cell next spring.

Isn't there questions about Percival's hip? Bo Jackson, Konerko, Percival, the White Sox would be the hippest team in the league.

There will be some more seats available. They screwed up, and had no idea the seats would be more popular outside of the park than in it. They will correct this, and you as a season ticketholder will get some seats.

It would have been a sweep. Tony G is great off the bench, but when they played him for longer stretches, he got exposed, and wasn't nearly as effective.

The Reds are dumping payroll and would like to get out of paying that contract. If Griffey hit 50 homers next year, and was healthy, they would trade him for a slew of prospects in a heartbeat. No one would trade for him now, especially your team's best player. His conract runs 3 or 4 more years after this season with a 4 million buyout, I believe after 2008. Even if he came back to his old levels this season, his recent injury history still makes his contract a terrible risk.

This is a trade that will not happen. No one will trade for Griffey with that contract, until they see he is healthy, and can stay healthy,and, most importantly, is still an all star caliber player.This scenerio is a figment of someone's imagination.

The seats were crappy, by not getting a set you saved $50.

I was thinking the same thing. That sounds awfully high for a guy with Garland's limited success. But he does have ability, and if the light goes on he could be very good.

I wouldn't have minded having him during his Seattle days, but just like his father, he will spend the majority of his middle to late 30's on the disabled list.

JosE6 going to josE5??? That would be JosE4

There's a decent chance Garcia will be non-tendered, he would get about $9 million in arbitration.

Kotsay made more than Long and Hernandez combined last season. I'm sure Hernandez is due a big raise, however.

Who cares what color the seats are? Blue seats are just as comfortable as green ones, and since they are not in my living room they don't have to match anything.

Dr. Tom got it from Hayden. I am a U of Iowa graduate, and was in school during some of Hayden's finest years. They did it all the time. Dr. Tom replaced George Raveling after the 1985-86 season. I don't recall him doing the Hokie Pokie, but if he did, he got it from Hayden. I also loved when Hayden called his players 'rascals'.

Hayden had the Hawkeyes do the Hokie Pokie after big wins.

What is funny to me is all the people who call JR cheap. Many who are saying these things are the same people who complain when they buy a ticket to the upper deck and are forced to sit there. How can someone unwilling to shell out $6 call someone cheap?

Foulke would come back if the money was right.

Seattle did just fine after ARod and Griffey skipped town. Not to mention the Big Unit.

If he would play for free, I guarantee you KW would not be interested.

Would you think about how we are going to pay him? Well if he was willing to just play for a winner and come in rather cheap, I'd say it would be a great move. Don't know how willing he'd be to take a big paycut, but it would be worth Kenny making the phone call, imo. Thats if he can unload Konerko. I used to think the Sox had budget concerns, but spending $5 million on Valentin must mean they have money to burn.

$5 million for that garbage. If they can spend that, then KW better not use that spending a dollar if you only have a nickel crap. It would have been an upset if he received $2 million on the open market.

Ozzie is going to teach Willie how to bunt so we can get that speed on base and wreak havoc. He's also going to teach how to get on base by the base on balls,oh just scratch that last thought

its a lot easier to stock farm clubs with talent when you are drafting in the top 5 every year.

Primary talent evaluator for the Brewers, its a miracle he was available.
