Ozzie and KW have said they want the 2010 team to be younger, athletic, faster and versitile. Even in the DH role I don't see Dye or Thome, for that matter, coming back no matter how cheap.

Joe Buck just said that Nick Swisher is getting his "first taste of playoff baseball this year with the Yankees". Does Joe only count the games he broadcasts as official games? I'm pretty sure Nick was in the playoffs in 2006 with Oakland and last year with us...but what do I know.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) On a side note, my girl Norah O'Donnell made a great point, people like Bill Clinton, Elie Wiesel, Nelson Mandela haven't won this award... and I believe they are more deserving. QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 10:27 AM) Mandela hasn't won? That's a f***ing travesty. Case-in-point. Nelson Mandela won in 1993 and Elie Wiesel won in 1986. If only reporters would actually do research than mouth off their opinions...

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Oct 4, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Good point- it's always a sad day indeed. Only good news coming out of this season is it appears we have 5 solid starters going into next year. With Thome and Dye most likely gone we're going to need to put some more power into this lineup I believe, although it will be nice to get the slow guys outta there from clogging up the bases. 2010 LF Pods SS Beckham RF Quentin 1B Konerko DH ??? C AJ CF Rios 2B Ramirez 3B Viciedo Pods won't be back if he gets a ridiculous offer for 2-3 yrs. But my guess is he WILL get a 2 yr offer, which may lead us to looking at other options. I KNOW Beckham is going to play 3B next year, but to me its a joke as we could have so much offensive production from SS & 2B from him and A Ram, we'd have 180 RBIs and 35 HR's from the middle infield. That's pretty damn good. But no one thinks about that. Booooooo You can take it to the bank that Ramirez is SS and Getz is 2B. Pods will be in LF if they cannot sign Figgins. DH will come from within. Money/Trades will be spent on the bullpen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:00 AM) I use Redbox for most everything. Samantha Ronson says the same thing...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 12:31 AM) I hope we leave Gordon at third for the next 12 years. Lexi should go play winter ball just to work on his defense. I like he and Beckham at third and ss. Can't we do better than what we got at 2B? Where will Figgins play? Figgins would probably play LF with Rios in CF and Quentin in RF

Should I be scared that I understood everyhting Kap wrote???

Lots of Disney movie news coming out of their D23 expo (wish I could have went) http://www.cinematical.com/2009/09/11/pira...stranger-tides/ Anyway... A new Muppet Move called "The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever" is in production, written by Jason Segal. Robert Zemeckis is remaking the Beatles "Yellow Submarine" using his motion capture style ala Beowulf and Polar Expess. The Beatles and Apple Corps are involved in the production. Pixar's first live action film "John Carter of Mars" will open Summer 2012. But the biggest news occurred when Johnny Depp come out on stage dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow and annouced that Pirates 4 will start filiming next year and open May 2011! He then announced the title: Intertesting note: There is a fantasy pirate novel called On Stranger Tides that was influenced by the Pirates ride...wonder if they are using that book as the basis for the new story? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Stranger_Tides

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) I gotta say, I'm not really a huge fan of the Olympics coming here. But at the same time, it would be pretty cool, so I guess I'm 50/50 on it. If the Olympics does come here, I'm gonna try and find some way to make money outta this... I am going to rent out my house for the month and go on a cruise!! Maybe I'll stick around for the opening ceremonies, though. Then I'm on a BOAT MOTHERf***ERS!!!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2009 -> 06:38 AM) I'm still not 100% convinced that Ryan Sweeney sucks. I like Subway sandwiches

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 10, 2009 -> 10:40 AM) Went and saw Ponyo yesterday. Absolutely terrific, beautiful film. I need to search out all of Hayao Miyazaki's stuff, I think Princess Mononoke is the only other film of his I've seen. See Spirited Away...one of the best animated films of all time.

I will be picking up Rockband later today.

Holy Cow! Look at the size of that....oh that's the umbilical cord. Congrats anyway!

Happy B-Day BD!!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Good for Jose. I love Jose. Brandon Allen has 3 hrs already? Bad bad trade KW. He is also hitting .217, a .294obp, 8rbis and has 19k in 46 at bats. In about the same number of at-bats to start this year Josh Fields was hitting .286 with 1hr., 9 rbi, 14k and a .375obp. So I guess you'd think the Gordan Beckham call-up was a bad idea then? But go ahead cherry pick your stats to prove a point...

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 07:01 AM) It is eventually going to come out that KW didn't really want Rios on the waiver claim, but was just trying to block him getting traded. No question in my mind, and that J.R. is probably pretty upset about it and won't let KW make any more waiver claims like this. You really haven't been following this team and know their relationship, then, to think that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 08:34 AM) Is there an award to be the first person to condemn a player as worthless that I don't know about? The guy hasn't even seen a spring with us, and he is already getting thrown off of a cliff? Geesh. Its not like the rest of the team is hitting worth a s*** anyway. There is also an award for being the "first to call a season over"

Some of the posters on this site would trade half the team away and fire half the coaching staff on April 2 every year if they could.
