pitch Jon Adkins what is the point of proving that Danny Wright has absolutely nothing to offer this season. put Paniagua in

tie game on sac fly 4-4 one out reds have guys on first and second

4-3 commies reds still have bases loaded no outs yeah

some good news: Reds bases loaded, no outs in the sixth. commies 4, Reds 2

Royals busting their asses. Sox snoozing toward third place, which will be Jerry Manuel's legacy. I can understand why Danny Wright turned down winter ball. He's too sharp. Doesn't need it.

Corg: Notice you didn't include Maggs in your possible team for next year. That suggests you're thinking a trade is in order. That so? What would the sox be looking for? Hopefully a young SS and another pitcher. Or maybe a catcher. what say you?

that's another reason Rowand needs to play. With the Sox payroll, they're going to need several guys making $500,000 or so. Crede will be one. Olivo will be another. Rowand will be another. Everett is a solid player, but he's not a $9 million player and he's not a center fielder. Just don't see the Sox ponying up to pay him. Rather see them spend the money on pitching. so give the job to Rowand and find out what he can do.

in what qualifies as good news these days, A Row sez he is going to play some winter ball to get some at bats (cause he didn't get many this season). Implied that the at bats should set him up for a solid spring training. I hope A Row gets at least 400 at bats next year. He's paid his dues. And he'll bust his ass.

i'll go off the wall with -- Ozzie Guillen. Marlins' third base coach -- and they have been winning. high-octane, high energy. popular with fans. popular with management. good communicator. great with media. should be good with players. And he's hungry to win. It's a longshot, but I bet Number 13 is in the mix.

press conference is allegedly set for Tuesday afternoon -- to snatch a headline or two from the Cubs, I reckon, or to make sure the news is buried behind the Cubs' news

be interesting to see if Jerry plays Harris, Rowand and some of the other young guys plus, you got Maggs going for a batting title.

if the Cubs make the playoffs, we can all just wait for another Leon Durham (1984) or Will Clark (1989) moment. It will come.

When the Cubs begin their playoff push next week, look at the guy on THEIR bench and remember what a manager can do for a team. Granted, they have outstanding starting pitching. But their lineup won't dazzle you. Their bullpen is average. Somehow Borowski has come up with a career year. Dusty has resurrected Karros and Grudzilanek. He insisted they go out and get Damian Miller, which was a key move. And they have survived with a ton of injuries in a year when the Sox were unbelievably healthy. And, unlike the Sox, they played their asses off in September, knocking the Cardinals out by winning four out of five in a critical series. I agree: Jerry wasn't AWFUL. But the Sox shouldn't settle for average. Roll the dice and move on.

These guys have underachieved for three straight seasons, sitting there while the Central Division dominance was tranferred from Cleveland to Minnesota. The expected and planned for White Sox Reign never occurred. If these players don't like somebody who is going to get in their s*** when they lose 8 times to the Tigers, four times to Texas and EVERY SERIES on the West Coast, Too bad. It's not time for a CHANGE. It's time for CHANGES -- out the door with anybody who thinks it was OK to roll over and die the last 2 1/2 weeks of the season.

actually he should have been fired on April 12 when the Sox became the first team to lose to the Tigers, a horrid sign of what was to come. and if that didn't see the deal, the three game sweep in Comerica in early July, when the Sox scored three runs in three games, should have. Too little, too late -- AGAIN

That's $6 million we could use elsewhere. Franks a Sox legend, but I think it's time to move on. could be, but it's frank's call -- first if he wants to stay, he stays if he declines the option, sox can bringhim back for $8 mill (unlikely) or cut him loose for $2 million, I believe. should be interesting.

he's got a contract It's Frank's call if he wants to come back, he can -- for $6 million

FREE A ROW put him in the lineup in 2004 SOMEWHERE Please

wonder if the Sox know the Yankees clinch the division if they win tonight My guess: Most of them do not

paulie 25 DPS and on an 0-for-16 streak no further comment necessary

can't see JR ponying up for Bobby V. Torborg lamont bevo JM track record sayd THINK CHEAP

if parque was still around Soriano could go for four or five homers

that's not the way to get Steinbrenner to offer you a contract, Bartolo

looks to me as if Maggs has changed his stance a bit more open than I remember it

Tony G 8 for 8 on steals on a surgically repaired knee make him the base-running coach
