Forgot the $30,000 left on the hotel counter. This is my favorite and a direct indication of his steroid problem, IMO.

The biggest steroid one, the $30K left on the hotel desk in Costa Rica this was where I believe MLB covers things up, why was this not an issue.

This team needs a CF that can actually play defense. When a hard hit ground ball up the middle rolls to the wall for a double, wea re in bad shape. If we didn't have four guys hitting like they have never played the game before I would agree he is useless but we have nothiing to lose. Joe Borchard is not a centerfielder neitehr is harris. If we are going to take this mindset, put Konerko at third. We need to do soemthing to change the make-up of this team. If I hear about f'ing chemistry again I am going to puke we sucka nd need something. Trade Colon and Konerko for Nick Johnson and Weaver, f***, do soemthing. Who si running this circus anyway, I have faith but it is waning.

Do you think there is a chance he may resign?

I am not an expert in anything but I kind of want to go over the marks against sosa that have not affected his image. Thomas is destroyed for far less. In recent memory, (this morning,) there are quotes of him refusing to go to rehab and that this is not an issue as it is too late now. His team was almost swept and lost their first place standing yet he thinks he is too good for the minors. Knock off the bulls*** THAT team needs me to win. Contract negotiations that almost get him traded and then his talk he may leave after this season. Never showing up to spring training on time. Thomas does this and he is the f***ing antichrist. Steroids, steroids, steroids. This m-f'er is the poster boy. Cork, cork, cork Rum bottle, rum bottle, rum bottle. These are off the top of my head.

What is the story on Powell and Harrington, just curious? and bored at work

My Detroit Red Wings jersey for Bob Corkum will come in handy. Now if he and shamee were the same number....wait........

If a team claimed him off waivers wouldn't they have to take his full salary. I think this would scare off many teams. I believe Crede is out of options as well.

Who is running our draft someone just told me KW is traveling with the team? I can see someone getting a BA mock draft and using this to conduct our draft. Kind of what I do for fantasy hockey.

How is Joe Valentine doing? The more I see John Halama pitch the more I think Billy may like to have Cotts.

Pitch counts will always be high if you are striking poeple out. Look at the Dusty twosome. I think walks are a bigger thing. If guys are not putting the ball in play they see more pitches and therefore there is a liklihood that the counts are deeper. His problem will be if guys are swinging and missing at bad pitches that they won't swing at here, (not this forum but at the big league level,) unless they are Joe Borchard.

Aren't Melvin Mora and Magglio best friends.............not sure if I have anything other than this.

I was there for the Ritchie affair. I think he had a perfect game going into the 5th then the defense completely feel apart. I drowned my sorrows in teh warehouse distrcit quite nicely. I think he lost hope after this and the Atlanta game.

I think it was Ray Allen that worked an agreement himself and hired an attorney to review and sign off on it. What the hell does Boras do for $500,000? Ask Bobby Hill, yet another year further from free agency. A-Rod was getting big money anyway Borass. I think I can go in and say Gary Sheffield is worth $12M a year what do you think?

Juan Cruz numbers are similar to Rick White. I believe this was a cub spin job to garner publicity. I really don't get the Red Sox rush to get rid of Hillebrand?

Isn't he 23 years old? Not a big fan of his but I think he will be something if we stick with him. He is not a top of the rotation guy but he is getting better and better with time.

He walked twice and got a big RBI, that is what is important here.

I was thinking that he may be headed somewhere DL or bench and bring up a "hitter" try Miles, then Gload, then.........Rickey Henderson. Hell, bring back Baines or Walker, can't do any worse. With Thomas at first Daubach and Konerko can arm wreastle for a spot on the bench and bring in one of these other guys to DH. Trade Koch and Konerko to Boston (they have got to be getting desperate) for the young SS. Thomas produced at first last eve, leave him there. Konerko is terrrible and I am not sure he will be getting out of it.

Those same words were muttered at the beginning of the Vietnam war, too! i dont get the connection here...........cubs pitchers and the vietnam war???? It has to do with the way you use the word 'slope.'

Any chance of gettting details? I assume these were all high school players that wanted big bucks to sit in A ball for three years. Uncle Jerry blew his wad on Borchard. This is all about the spending a $1 when you only have $.50 and why we will never be a serious contendor.

I think you misunderstood my post I thought the cub should have made that trade if they were serious but they are not they just want to fill the stadium.

I don't think Rivera was part of that trade. I thought it was Nick Johnson, Soriano, Mendoza and Ted Lilly. Instead they traded the left fielder I forget his name (Glenallen Hill?) for Ben Ford. Nice move but the goal is to fill seats not win games. I am glad they didn't make that trade as they would be going after Vlad now.

As I asked earlier, who is our G.M?

NEVER PITCH WHITE IN A CLOSE GAME. Play your best defensive players on astroturf against a hot team with good offense and a ground ball pitcher on the mound. Tonight you put Graffy out there with Colon. Bunt, bunt, bunt and bench Konerko.

So I am watching the news this morning on channel 9 and they had a little part of his speech on. His remarks were incredible as he stated to the reporter, "knock off the bulls*** this team needs me." He then went on to say, "I don't care how good THEY did, they need ME." There was no mentioning of how well they were doing and now they would go even further. Man this guy is a headcase. If anyone on the Sox said this it would be headline news. He was completly serious and pissed that someone would suggest this. He was also wearing a winter cap yesterday when it was 70 in the shade. Friggin joke.
