Pastime

If it does, watch the season ticket fanbase disappear faster than a cup of water in the desert. And watch the attendance sag to about 8,000 a game. JR - "Okay, Kenny, so you don't want pizza. Well, I do." KW - "Okay, Jerry, so you don't want steaks. Well, I do." JR and KW - "Okay, we'll just compromise. We'll have ham sandwiches." What the hell is this crap?

We have holes at 2B, SS, CF, RHP (relief), and a hole in our 5th starter slot. That's my opinion.

"I agree with that Soxfest guy."

Ponson is the only guy I even looked twice at. The rest of those guys don't fit our needs.

For the record, I'm from "The Region." I live in Hammond, so I'm a stone's throw from US Cellular, Comiskey, or whatever the hell it's called these days. And I'll be at my normal 7-10 games again next year. Back to topic. Overall, I dated 3 women who were "untamed forests." The biggest problem I had with them was a certain bad odor. Everytime I tried to "graze in the forest," I felt like adding milk, seasoning, and making :

Pedro Cerrano - "I have trouble with curveball. So I pray to Jobu - he help me hit. I have faith in him." Eddie Harris - "Well, you might want to think about putting your faith in Jesus Christ." Pedro Cerrano - "I like Jesus. He is very very good. But he no help me hit a curveball." Eddie Harris - "You gonna tell me that Jesus Christ can't hit a goddamn curveball?""

I don't understand it, and don't want to! I'm still lmao.

Just be safe, man. That's what I hope for.

Ugh. Just another hour added to the time before spring training.

BUT I do agree with you that 14 Mil., if spent wisley, could help this team more than he can. That's what I meant - I just couldn't say it as well as you did. Thanks.

Point being: If we spend the money on Frank, GIDPaul, Lee, and Maggs, 1/3 of the payroll will be spent on them. Plus, can you imagine what Maggs would want after next year? Whew. WAY too much. Sorry, but that's crap. I want to spend 1/3 of the payroll on pitching, if not 2/3 of it. Pitching and defense wins championships. You've heard it before. And the Marlins proved it once again. WE NEED COLON.

I love Maggs too. But if we can trade him and get some REALLY GOOD PEOPLE in return, then I say we have to. Maggs is a GREAT player, but not a superstar. A superstar can run, steal bases, field well, hit with power, drive in runs, make a difference, and do all the intangibles. Maggs is close, but no cigar. He's average defensively, can't run much, hits into a TON of DP's, and wouldn't know an intangible if he sat next to it in a bar. A superstar is a "difference maker." When is the last time Maggs was a "difference maker." He'll be one this offseason if we pay him - he will completely screw our payroll up its ass. He's not worth 14 million a year - sorry. We could translate his salary into some really good players. But then again, Kenny is making the trades. UH OH.

Who's worse - in terms of being a power-hungry jag and wanting to interfere with everything on the field - Jerry Jones or George Steinbrenner? Boy, that might be a toss-up.

1 pair boat shoes 1 pair black "everything" shoes 1 pair Reebok high-tops from 1993 (only worn when playing hoops)

A receiving manager of a riverboat casino. However, we got bought out by a rival and I only have one month left before I'm being replaced (along with about 100 other people).

I know he's aggressive, but so is a kid who likes to fly into walls headfirst. I just hope he realizes that there are a LOT of holes to fill. It's not like we're weak in just one or two areas - man, there's a lot of cracks to patch.

After how he failed the Sox, I could care less if Wells ever throws a pitch again. He's a bloated sloth. :fyou

I didn't see Aaron Miles on anyone's list for 2B (unless I missed it). He's a decent hitter who's scrappy - but a below-average fielder. But he's CHEAP. That immediately gives him brownie points in JR's eyes. As for Alomar, unless he takes a huge paycut, he won't be back. Most of my suggestions are just speculation, as are most people's. I cannot wait until the winter meetings to see if Kenny Williams is going to be making moves, or just sitting there with his hands folded watching everyone else make moves.

Dogs - Pink Floyd (It's a good song, and also 17 minutes long.)

Bald eagle for me. I dated an "untamed forest" for 6 months - I got sick of picking hairs out of my teeth.

52 degrees, cloudy, damp, and windy in Chicagoland. Warm weather isn't even visible in the rear view mirror anymore. :banghead

Time, The Sporting News, and Travel. Time and Travel sit on the coffee table. The Sporting News stays in a magazine rack next to the can in the downstairs bathroom.

Cubkilla, If I give you $20, could you go to the Mirage and put my money down on the Cubs to win the World Series? Last time I checked, the odds were really good. Oh wait - I need to look at my calendar more often. Dammit.

I have a Halloween party to attend on the "Hallowed Night." I have a green turtleneck, a blue sweatshirt with "Renegades" on it, a pair of dorky glasses, a Cubs hat (that makes me vomit when I wear it), and yes, I have an old Walkman from the 1980's with the big earphones - it's from when I was a teenager. Can you guess who I'm going as?? And for the record, I'm going to a party with about 500 people - at LEAST 400 of them are Cubs fans. I can't wait to sprinkle salt in their bleeding wounds.
