Do we need a GM? Anthrax fan - you there?

For us out of towners who do not have the privilege to see them in the store/s before buying them, which is the best one?

Just saw this thread....been out for a few days....yes, I wanted Vinny Focking Castilla Glad to be wrong But I also wanted Jon G to go nowhere so ....

I know they will contend for the division again with us and the Indians...that's for sure Those fockers are not going anywhere. Santana is freaking too good to let that happen.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 06:28 AM) The Cubs already had their chance and they f***ed it up. '03 - Cubs (Up 3-1 in the NLCS and f***ed it up) '04 - Red Cubs '05 - White Sox '06 - Indians '07 - Pirates I understand what Mike Downey is getting at here but it's just not gonna happen, the Cubs' year was 2003 and they f***ed it up, it's their own damn fault. How can you be so confident? One year back, everyone said (including most Sox fans) that we would never ever win it all Let's see what happens.... Que Sera Sera....whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see....Que Sera Sera

We have all heard how the Cubs could win it all next year since the other 2 long losing streaks are now gone But, here is a slightly different spin to it. 1st the Red Sox, then the White Sox, so it is natural to follow that with the Blue Sox (and you know who wears those) The US flag is Red, White and Blue and amazingly, people always refer to it in that order Here is a Mike Downey article that talks of it too: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

One of the congratulatory calls Williams received in the last week came from Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan. The Twins had won the previous three American League Central titles before this season with players who were local heroes and national curiosities. Star-studded they weren't. "I told Terry Ryan, 'Congratulations my [butt], you forced me to do this. I was tired of second place. We had to try to play your game,'" Williams recalled. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines ===================== I am sure Terry must be thinking I had the right idea but could never get to the WS with it. And here is KW using it to his advantage.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 05:29 AM) Correct because you want to protect Manny with Konerko, and not Konerko with Manny. Plus, when possible, its nicer to have the faster of the two hitters hit 3rd. Not that there is any speed to be had with Manny and Paulie! Wouldn't you pay a dollar for a ppv footrace? I would say add Big Frank to it too Big Frank might actually win that one....even with one injured leg

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 04:13 AM) There's soemthing about Tina Fey and I'd throw Amy Poller in for sport. Los Here ya go http://dougtle.home.comcast.net/fey_poeller2.jpg

I hope they have Lisa Dergan on too though

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) If we had Manny and Delgado id trade Dye and give Anderson a spot in the lineup because he wouldnt be needed. Although imagine the spike in payroll for this to be possible. JR does have the money now

So what do I need to do to become a mod?

If we traded for Manny, re-signed Paulie and re-signed Frank, then Ozzie can use Manny as a starter in his Final-game-of-the-series-throw-away-lineup... then we cannot complain when we see his every 3rd day line up

They just said on ESPN (during the 30 at 30 break during a game) that Manny has told the Red Sox that he wants to be traded and that he will not report to spring training if he is not traded SO, there you go folks. It is now official that Manny is serious. Not sure if he will change his mind AGAIN but for now that is the word

I found this with Google http://images.google.com/images?q=1917+World+Series&hl=en

I would add to Gene's comment as follows: 6. The Red Sox best pitcher in game 1 of the playoffs in round one was matt clement, he sucks. -- Agreed. So. Anyone who plays for the Cubs seems to have some degree of suckitude to them....except Jon Garland....how is Matt Karchner doing for the Flubs?

Do not forget one thing. ARod was traded for basically Soriano. Before that happened, I remember so many people saying what it would take to land a ARod And ARod is a far far far better player than Manny.

Just right click on the link, and Save Target As

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) Exactly. In the world of sports, you have to take risks like we did with AJ and Everett. Manny's production far outweighs the risk IMHO. I would get him in a hearbeat. Of course, I'm not eating that whole salary. I am with you 100%....if we get Manny at 3 years 30M to 40 M, we would be crazy not to do it, provided we do not give up any one from our current team and we are only giving up prospects (I would not mind giving up Anderson too)

I think Paulie will re-sign. He will realize the best chance to win another ring is here. No other team has the pitching we do. ANgels have a very good staff, but I doubt Bartolo repeats what he did last year again.

I just copied and emailed it to him.....everyone do it.....let him have it jmariotti@suntimes.com

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) Was he bad for Boston's clubhouse in 2004? Or, did he just get bad for the clubhouse in 2005? I mean, his 156 OPS+ probably disrupted the team chemistry that those 'good' guys like Kevin Millar were trying to create, right? Thanks CWSGuy....our ball park would make Manny a 50+ HR guy every single year. No doubt in my mind. We replace Paulie and not miss a beat en route to 2nd World Series. Manny in RF, Dye at 1B, Frank at DH, ANderson as bench OF. If Frank runs into injuries again, put Manny as DH and Anderson at RF. Simple....

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) At a combined 5.5 million for this year did we take those risks. Manny gets 58 over the next three I said we should make BO SOX eat half the contract....that makes it 3 years, 30 M....where do I sign? Given the production we would get not to mention the butts it would park at USCF for the next 3 years, again, where do I sign?

Also, can you by any chance post the other video from the rally yesterday (We are the Champions) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
