Yankees have already told Kenny, we ae going to offer 5 years $60M so look good on paper and offer him this. This deal makes sense as Loiza can leave after next season, buerhle the next and Colon the third.

Budget is set at $55M. Maggs is set at $14M, Buerhle will get at least $2M in arbitration and Schoenweis and Garland will get at least $1M in arbitration. Remove Colon, Cabrarea, and Castillo and you may be correct although I do not think they will give Konerko and Koch away as they both could turn it around. Sorry but I think they will lose all their free agents and pick-up a jouryman pitcher and sell us on the growth of players. Next year I think they will be the same as this with more hitting and less pitching.

This team always states this s*** and it never pans out. They know somebody will sign Colon to big money so by saying this they get to do the old, we couldn't afford him compared to the Orioles, Yankees, Red Sox s***. This team does not spend money on pitching so why start now. My guess 4 years $37M, the Yankees will offer 5yr, $60M. Then we can say we tried as feeble as it might be and then complain when we can't sign a free agent because they went hard after Colon. Colon is 30 years old, he will want at least 5 years. Nice try KW, offers mean s***.

The Sox threw beer on the fans in Minnesota and showered the fans on the ooponents field. Where is Jimmy Piersal at to complain about this now?

My refund was credited back, to the penny before the end of the season. Wow, I give the Sox credit for the timliness. Although I stated I would not renew until I saw what they did this is a step in the right direction. Now for the price increase.

I agree that LaRussa is overrated but he is much better than the options. If Ozzie Guillen is anywhere near the top of the list i will no longer be more than a casual fan.

Kind of like the Sox this year

LaRussa and JR are pretty close friends. I think there is more merit here than speculation. It will depend on what JM wants to spend. If the cub go deep JM will have to spend to keep a shaky fan base that is as disappointed as ever. Season tickets may drop below 5,000 if the cub make the postseason. I am not renewing at any level, well I'll a 7-game for the opener, if they don't spend.

Did you happen to hear them talking about the second guessing of pitching to Casey and chimp not wanting to speak his mind and Stone blasting Baker for pitching to Casey. I get the feeling that there is no love lost between Stone and dusty baylor.

The thing is what happens to Don Cooper. Wherever Tony goes, Dave Duncan follows.

Mick had the sauce, sam has the juice. They're not watching my kids so let baseball handle it.

Would add even more spice to the Sox/Cub rivalry.

I just turned off XRT and now US99 because I do not want to hear about cub playoff push coverage. Is sportsradio not enough? Looks like CD's for the rest of the day.

I should've used green on the Manny for Maggs quote. The reason maggs will go is if he will not renegotiate his deal and we fear losing him to Free Agency.

Aren't they both over .500? Fogg get shelled last Friday didn't he. KW should win GM of the year if they both pick up wins!

Gammons this morning mentioned Mike Hargrove may be fired and replaced by Eddie Murray. we really want to be the 95 Indians. Maggs for Manny.

I was just pointing out that he had a big hit and was clutch no matter who it was for. If we were talking big home runs for the White Sox, we would be looking for days as they don't exist. This is the mentality we need.

Becasue it worked so well this season. They failed, all of them. They had the talent and the competition to win at least 90 in not 95 games. They had the equivalent of three top flight, if not "Ace" pitchers and they missed the playoffs. They have no say in the matter. I would rather lose 100 games and get a high pick than embarass myself as they did last week.

He hit a dramatic homerun to win a huge game against Boston and he was at Soxfest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Felipe, Moises old man............................ cub better watch their b****in i would hate to see an internal strife.

Have they ever spoke one way or another on Backman or Manuel? I think this is a topic that they would avoid as to not step on Manuel's or Backman's toes seeing as they may have had to paly for both.

We are we continuing to go with guys on four days rest when the season is over?

Carlos Lee or Paul Konerko and Neil Cotts could fit nicely in their system. I believe the D'Backs are trying to cut payroll and Konerko is a hometown guy from there. We would not need to resign Colon if we made this move. Although signing Colon and making this trade would mean that we do not need a bullpen other than Marte and Gordon. I can dream can't I, this season is currently a nightmare.

Astors should have won Monday and shotty play killed them last evening. Oh well, some times you win, sometimes you lose.

You are an entertaining s*** that is for sure. How do we fair before his "failure" if he doesn't produce? How did Frank fair in 3 outing's in Minny as opposed to Loiaza's one?
