yea why not. You won't be there, what does it matter. Do you always want 12,000 fans or would you like to expand the base a little. Do you like threads on this board that say go to the park, or would you rather have 30,000 people in the stands. expand the base, expand the payroll.

I get 8 weeks vacation, jim is always on vacation.

You know Ross, I disagree I would want them at the cell. My thinking. The cubs have alot of casual fans. bring them to the southside. Let them come to the park, see what it offers. bring the kids, spend money get to know the area. I think this may bring back many fans and kids to our own games.They walk in the park and see Sox stuff, they see parking lots, they get to tailgate, they get to know the area. By the way it won't happen because its all speculation.

I think they should offer the season ticket holders there own seats when they take out the blue ones. I think that would be very classy. knowing I probably have paid for those seats several times over.

are you behind on your email again. hit the refresh button.

nope its not Offman. he references "his guy" on deals. they are usually right on. its somebody in the industry.

Probably not much. He doesn't own it. He can rent them the scoreboard though.

Why must you be pathetic. Your such a homer, a blind homer.

your right, we have too many holes. We are more than one player away.

so what- I will take 8-2 with an ERA under four. We are no building for the future. What kind of pick do they get? A sandwich pick?

considerign Cora's brother is our third base coach I would think he will strongly consider the whitesox. just thinking if my brother were on a team.

I think this will happen, and yes its better than Grilli or Diaz. I think its a fine choice for a fifth starter. Now you have a veteran staff of five, go to work on your second baseman or utility infielder. Alex Cora maybe next.

Jim, really this didn't make much sense for the dodgers. The dodgers seem to be looking for pitching and perez is sitting right in front of them. Vazquez doesn't warrant what people are giving up. Just seems like its out of whack. Personally for a 41 year old pitcher I think the yanks can put there own package together or add money.

hmm not that I know of but the wife gets the mail. What should I be looking for?

Personally this trade didn't make much sense. I really have no idea what the Dodgers are doing.they seem more mixed up than ever before.

where in naper little boy?

I am in a strange mood tonight so sorry ahead of time. What purpose do these polls have? We debate whther someone is good or not good in the threads. I really don't understand these polls. there seems to be three a week, and what comes out of them?

I found this post to be extremely well written and dead on. Thanks for the comment.

I realize he has more htan one pitch, I am not dumb. he obviously has a difficult time getting three over the plate, which makes him rely on his fast ball, which everyone will catch up to by the 4th inning. Point is, you cna hang around and baby these gems in our s***ty farm system, or you can go out and get a veteran to be your fifth starter. Good teams either have blue chip rookies or they get veterans. Simple as that.

Actually I can. He has one pitch. that's it. Or least thats all he can get over the plate. I think he is Lorenzo barcelo of the future. But you can continue to like him. I think he sucks, and it will prove itself out.

He is better than Diaz or grilli

Yes i agree.Diaz sucks and so does Grilli, if we settle for any of these guys we will not win anything. We will pick up another starter. grilli and Diaz should only pitch if we have an injury.

Also for budget watchers the amerisuites is good. its about 8 minutes from the park and is about $70 with breakfast. For those not on a budget and want to enjoy a great place I highly recommend Ventana Canyon resort. I have stayed there many times and this is about 30 minutes from the park. its a great place.

this is true all except for the grown men part. Are we all grown men here. I don't think so. Jim?

It means I you
