LOL Breeders Old, but still funny as hell Get balls? you mean bawls

Duh, there is no handshake, we're too busy typing

Damn, another way for some woman to hook a man. You're LATE! Don't worry, there are no more late fees, I never have to go home . . .

But his quality may balance it all out.

He could be the first player in franchise history to have the fans pissed when he came and pissed he left, and never play a single inning in a Sox uniform. I am promising myself to judge all trades at once, when the team leaves Spring Training. Until then, it is all a process.

Teammates on the ALL CAPS SQUAD also passed the 10,000 post mark and join the Loyal Order of The Spammers (LOTS) Two of my favorite posters

Genius. And KW gets paid to think up the same s*** we all know. I would also be saying a prayer to whatever God you worship that Thomas is back quickly and 100%.

Exactly.

Coors lite, because I'd want to die after that For nostalgia sakes maybe an Old Style (first beer) a Miller High Life (usual college choice and still the "everyday" bar beer) or a Shiner Boch. Since I would be having a pork roast some sort of a Wheat beer may be in order. Tough call.

Jas, congrats on the rare triple post! Spammer

I think all this small ball talk is JR's desire to cut the fireworks budget

Yes sir, I have to agree with that. It also struck me as I was driving this morning regarding the "quality" and ability of Pods v. Lee; if I was drowning, I would gladly trade my Suburban for a leaky old row boat. I've said several times that lead off has been a consistent problem. Perhaps a B- lead off hitter is better for this team than a B+ middle of the order guy.

My thinking had been Lee has the best chance of putting up Magg-like numbers. If we could replace Lee's numbers, which is easier than Maggs, we would be even. Now I see an offense taking a couple steps back. But it is only December and I truly believe you have to judge the off season in it's entirety, not trade by trade, release by release, FA signing by FA signing. When the team leaves spring training we can fully evaluate all the trades. If we leave with a third place team, a prayer, and a few million in the bank, no one will be braving those cold early season games.

If we got an impact player as the PTBNL, we won this trade big time. More likely a mid level journeyman type.

Oh ouch, that hurts. I have no cash. boo hoo. LMAO at such a moron. Perhaps I should explain. I forget we have little kids on the site. Steinbrenner doesn't have a pile of cash because he traded great players and kept freeing money until he had $$$$ to spend. Attendance, royalties, and other revenue streams, including an owner with deep pockets, can get you the cash. Cash in the bank does nothing to help the team win now. I agree that waiting to judge until the trade is finalized, with all players involved, is the only fair thing to do.

I judged him guilty as soon as she went missing. I said go find the husband and lock him up. Having admitted that, I too am shocked that they felt confident enough to also recommend the death penalty. I will be very surprised if the Judge agrees. Of course if he does, he'll be an activist Judge, and marked as a liberal weak kneed jurist.

Sorry, I don't have insider information that tells me what they are going to use the money for. It could be for another Robbie Alomar. If they hold off until the mid season, it may be too late. You cannot win a division in May, but you can lose one. You might hear attendance is down and they will not spend all of it on a mid season pick up. I've been a Sox fan for 30 years. I have almost no enthusiasm for money. I have enthusiasm for players on the roster, healthy, who can play. Potential doesn't feed the bulldog.

I guess then trading Thomas, Crede, Buerhle, and Garcia for a sack of crap would be the biggest trade of all time. Look at all that cash. The last time I saw cash contribute on the field it was Norm Cash with the Tigers. The thing with cash is it doesn't have to come at the expense of talent on the team.

Was it Jas' birthday or something?

PTBNL, usually becuase . . . There may be some contract issues, or there is a small group of players and the Sox needed time for their scouts to weigh in. It may be pending some performance criteria and the player would come in next season or something like that. I remember one that the player would come from pool A if the team could negotiate a long term or player B if not.

I am against the death penalty. My prayers go out to all the victims in this.

:headshake losing both corners in an out field that wasn't strong in the middle.

Thank you, I had forgotten about it. I PM'd the winner.

I wonder what Saddams job satisfaction rating was? In the US, Presidents rarely dip below 30%. Even at 20%, there are a lot of supporters out there.
