That's exactly why we need to get rid of one of Thomas or Konerko (I'm hoping it's Paulie) and replace the whole make up of this team and build around guys who can get on base and use their speed. One guy I would luv on this team to even replace Carl Everett would be Carl Crawford from TB. He's gonna be a monster in the next decade for steals and OBP.

Yeah any ideas on where Carl will be in 2004?

Jerry probably got a bit ahead of himself after making da playoffs in 2000 and I think his managerial skills have gone backwards since gettin out-schooled by Lou Piniella. Also, I think that sometimes that players just get sick of listening to the same guy for so many games, so I think once the new manager comes in next year we could suprise a lot of ppl next year no matter what the make up of our team is.

Yeah u just hope KW doesn't pull another Todd Ritchie for Jon Garland trade, and watch Garland become a stud on another team, while we get stuck with another useless veteran. Hopefully he's learnt his lesson by seeing all the great young pitchers this year e.g Willis and Brandon Webb and seeing that's the way teams r goin now instead of paying high priced veterans big contracts. e.g Chan Ho Park.

But every1 knows da Bears r goin to get slaughtered by an angry bunch of Cheese - Heads after last week. But who would want to watch the Cubs either?

Man's that great. Carl Everett is starting to ooze leadership around this ballclub. We need more guys like him than those who just care about their own stats.

i hope they installed an ice cutter on that boat.. gonna be hard to pull up to burnham harbor in late january early feburary without one...... and off into the sunset they sail...........never to return again........ If Manuel and Jauron are on board...quick, get "The little boat!" Man the torpedoes! Hopefully Reinsdorf and even Jerry Angelo (even though I'm a Cowboys supporter) can walk off da plank with em.

Let's hope Kipper and Josh bring their best stuff against da Cubs. I gotta feeling da Cubs might choke in this series, but for that to happen, Wells and Fogg will hav to be on top of their games.

Good to see this. Maybe he's finally ready for the Sox rotation. Yeah hopefully he can wrap up the 5th Starter's Job in Spring Training. We can't bank on gettin another Loaiza to fall into our laps.

It can't come soon enough.

There's a better chance the lint on some1's bellybutton will have a greater chance of managing da Sox than Jerry "Del Boque Vista" Manuel.

I have my finaly year 12 exams in about a month and one of those exams will be Egnlish. The books that I have to do for English r either THings Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, The Divine Wind by Garry Disher or Othello by Shakespeare. We can also write about the film Gattaca with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. U hav to choose 2 of em. I did To Kill a Mockingbird in year 10 and The Great Gatsby in year 11.

Schilling's probably goin back to Philly if they can't resign Kevin Millwood. Only got bout 2 years left in him though, but he won't be with da D-Backs next year. Like the idea of Konerko goin over there though. I would luv to get Cintron to play SS for us if we traded Paulie to em.

I think the Jose Panigua situation is a perfect example of Manuel's stupidity. We've been reeling ever since that moment.

How ironic, every1 thinks this could have been our year, and now we get to watch our cross town rivals in da playoffs. Just devastating.

That's exactly why JM should be canned. We'll never know if we could win da division if JM didn't change Cotts and Buerhle around and lose all of da momentum that we were building. We need a guy who can install a hard, tough winning culture into da clubhouse. Too bad JM just wasn't that guy.

Yeah I suppose Eckstein could go either way. Last year could have just been a 1 off for him and he could be nothing but a ordinary SS, but I think a change of scenery would do wonders for him. He wouldn't be under as much pressure to perform as he was this year with a Championship Team and I think he could post some good numbers and most importantly a high batting ave. for us. I just think he's just some1 we should take a chance on if we need a SS, which we'll prob will. Personally, I'd rather go after Edgar Renteria. I'd luv Renteria on this team, but somehow I don't think we're gonna be able to afford him unless JR changes his ways. Eckstein would come on da cheap, low risk high reward type of situation.

I don't think Marte needs to become a starter. He's our best guy out of da bullpen and when ur r on a good thing u don't change it. If he starts, our Bullpen becomes our Biggest Weakness. Paulie needs to be shipped for anything that's financially viable. There'll be a market for him in the off - season for teams such as the Dodgers and even possibly the Cubs. I'd giv Daubach a chance to start, and see if he can put up his Boston numbers. Gotta feeling that if Colon doesn't come back, we'll invite some old guys to spring training and Don Cooper will try to make a Loaiza out of em.

Well I certainly hope he'll make da trip to Athens. It'd be a great experience and a real eye opener for him. Personally I hope he does so I can see him play on the TV if Australia plays em.

Jacques ain't too happy with George Dubya at da moment.

After missing da 1st week, 18-12 is a pretty good record. Still got a lot of catching up to do though.

Jon Garland is public enemy No. 1 for Jerry Manuel. I feel sorry for da kid, although most managers seem to hate 1 of their players. e.g Larry Bowa and Tyler Houston
