An overlooked off-season priority
Interesting thought. I think it also comes down to confidence on both sides. Pitchers ahve to know we suck the first time we see someone so they get pumped a little bit more and vice cersa.

All Time Team

I keep thinking I must have seen better RF Hank Aaron DH Frank Thomas RHP Nolan Ryan Tom Seaver warrants a mention LHP Steve Carlton I don't know if I saw him in person. Closer Dennis Eckersley

Any news on who's going under the knife? Koch? Konerko?

Jerry Manuel Farewell
Maybe they'll announce he's staying another season then fire him in two weeks when Torre is available. Oops, the Lions patented that one.

Off season ideas for the contest board
Excellent idea. How about starting one now with the opening day lineups. Have it close in a couple weeks.

2004 season opener
$15 to park on broken glass At least the attendants will watch your car. The first year I had Bulls season tickets I started laughing realizing my car's "ticket" to the lot cost more than my ticket to the game you can always take public transportation

Ruminations
I had to pass this along. It's sad when you're at a baseball game and realize that you'll never have the money, status or talent that the guys on the field take for granted. And it gets even worse when the grounds crew gives way to the players. (Anthony Myers) Stolen from http://www.ruminate.com/html/clubrum.shtml And a non baseball bonus I took up jogging to experience the "runner's high" everyone talks about, but I found it somehow lacks the intensity of sitting on my couch and smoking crack.

My PTC is Maggs and I'm guessing the starting pitcher is E-Lo

How about limiting to players we've seen in person? Damn, I started a list twelve times and gave up.

What Time.....
You know I am a bit sad about JM leaving. It is the players on the field but he was given a team with the talent to win, then we went out and got help in a few key areas. I hope to see him in Philly next season. I think he'll do verywell in the NL. I also think if we had Dusty and the Cubs had Jerry we would be playing and the Cubs would be sitting.

207!!!!
Another plus for E-Lo, He doesn't duck out of tough games with imaginary ailments

ESTEBAN LOAIZA
The only blemish was a couple loses when we really, really, really needed wins. What an awesome season for him.

Jerry Manuel Farewell
No No No we need to save him I was a big Larussa fan but his best years are behind him. We would have him before he was great and after he was great. Is Lee Elia available? We need to wait until the firing season is over and decide then. You never know who will be available. How about Frank as a player-Manager

Off season ideas for the contest board
This will be the most impressive Cubs swoon since 1969. They got 1 more win left the Astros win 3 of 4 from the lowly Brew Crew and Sunday evening we're consoling them telling them we know how it hurts :fyou

Be fair to eBay he didn't go through the eBay system. He used the buyer's greed to take it off eBay.

Off season ideas for the contest board
Have the screen slowly fade to dark, dark, gray then a blazing flash of light then almost as quickly it goes black. Until the WS is over. How about YNOT for the NL Playoffs. I can't stomach the AL Playoffs. How about a Football confidence contest each week. Pick winning and rank them 1-how many games are being played. You get your assigned points for a win. 13 Goal Hockey pool. Pick a team each week you think will win a game in which 13 goals are scored.

Sunday Sept 28th 2k3
Frank Thomas, the greatest Sox player the second half of the prior century, playing in perhaps his final game in a Chicago White Sox uniform. A walk off home run.
