I haven't been around that long but its amazing how much quieter it is around here than it was when the Sox were in the race. Granted there is less to talk about but still.

And how often has he been given a chance to do that.

There probably is someone willing to take him. We may just have to take a salary in return. If the Cubs could find someone to take Todd Hundley we should be able to find someone who will take Konerko.

Part of the reason guys dive on a fly ball is that it is easier to get your glove to the level of the ball that way rather than reaching down for it. When you dive of course your going to slow down because you no longer have a force propelling you.

I only took the ACT and I scored a 33.

Don't worry about it we took care of it. I originally linked my pic instead of uploading it to the test board and apparently a lot of people were getting pop ups when they entered threads I had posted in.

Yeah, when I was in high school last year I had gel in my hair everyday. Now I just put a hat on everyday.

The part where he said they are a great team.

Jeff, welcome to the board. Its really cool having the insight that you, Bullard, and Cotts give.

I don't care what he was thinking the fact is he failed along with the rest of the team.

What does Maggs having the best BA on the team have to do with his coming up empty against the twins?

No one is giving Loaiza a break. I said that he didn't come through. I've been arguing with you because you can't seem to get it through your head that Thomas didn't get it done either and everyone on this team except for a very select few deserves to be heavily criticized for last weeks performance.

So what your saying is that Thomas gets a bye for having a better career. Sorry pal it doesn't work that way.

I don't really want Larkin. Hes washed up and I'm not sure he would take to coming off the bench.

I think he was being sarcastic referring to the Cotts/Buehrle fiasco last time we played New York.

So did I.

Not surprising at all. I would have done the same thing in his situation. Most likely he will win this case as the NBA lost a similar lawsuit years ago. It will be interesting to see where he gets taken if he wins the lawsuit. He is obviously a tremendous talent but seems to have some personal issures (see Lawrence Phillips). I don't think this is going to lead to a NBA type situation where you have guys constantly jumping after high school or a year of college. NFL teams would never draft a guy out of high school because there is far to great of a difference in size and athleticism. Also, money in the NFL is not guaranteed so guys would be more hesitant to jump to the NFL early unless they are going to go fairly high where they would receive larger signing bonuses, which is the only guaranteed money NFL players get.

I know, I was just trying to explain many people's reasoning for wanting Magglio off this team. He is obviously a great player but I don't think he is a $14 million dollar player. If JR is willing to go out and spend money than definately brings Maggs back. If JR is going to cut payroll than I think you have to trade Magglio.

I've never been a big hockey fan but I may have to check this guy out. Sounds like the real deal.

I haven't really seen that many people criticize Maggs. He hasn't had the impact this year that he usually has and a lot of people have brought that up. I have said on a few occasions that the Sox might need to get rid of Magglio but that is because of the economics of the game. I haven't seen anyone say Maggs sucks or I want Maggs off the team next year.

I feel differently. I enjoyed the short stretch where this team looked like a contender. It made the season somewhat enjoyable. When you know your team sucks its not any fun. Can you imagine being a Detroit fan this year?

They play a very selfish brand of baseball in which each player is just trying to hit home runs. It makes it very difficult to get hits when your swinging for the fences. Thats why we have seen a ridiculous amount of pop outs in the last few weeks IMHO.

I don't think its really necessary. This board seems to cover everything pretty well.

Who the hell are you talking to?
