this is according to the NY POst, which would wins multiple Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction if the category existed. The story sez Maggs is somebody the Mets would pursue if they were in contention and the Sox were looking to shed payroll.

 

And from what I know about the Mets' farm system, New York ain't the place to send Maggs.

Actually they DO give a Pultizer for fiction...

wow.. that aritcle really bashes the sox

 

and they also call the mariners a non contender.... that is a dumb article

Wow, so they think the White Sox suck. The Mets are worse than the Sox IMHO. Also, they sure like the Cubans: interested in El Duque and Maels.

Typical New York arrogance.

Where does it bash the Sox, by saying they are a NOn contender? Right now they are a non contender. Everyone in the division has gotten better except the Sox.

First of all, the NY Post is considered more of a tabloid than a respected newspaper so consider the source.

 

That said, I see nothing wrong with this article. It is nothing different than 75% of the threads started on this board. Why can the majority of people on this board bash the Sox, their lack of offseason moves and say we are going to suck, yet an article can't write a line like this?

 

Ordonez is due $14 million in the final year of his contract, and with the White Sox not expected to be a strong team in 2004, he could very well be on the block this season.

I can't stand when the people on this board bash the Sox either.

What, Juan Uribe, Robert Person, Cliff Politte, and Jose Santiago is not improving ourselves?

I still say New Yorkers are arrogant.

All Americans are arrogant so whats your point?

Yes we are. So what? I'm going up to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in June - I will truly enjoy spending an AMERICAN $20 for a meal that's $37 in CANADIAN CURRENCY. There's some more American arrogance for you - you gotta love that. I know I do!

 

But seriously, if the Mets want Maggs, then I would make damn sure they pay through their rich obnoxious noses. I would try to take them for all they are worth. You want Maggs? Then ante up and let's see what you're willing to give up, my friend.

Enjoy your visit to the great white north, try and enjoy a real beer or two while your there.

I still say New Yorkers are arrogant. 

I agree. I never met anyone from New York that wasnt a tool.

I don't drink anymore - my drinking almost cost me my marriage and my career.

 

However, I love LaBatt's Blue more than any other beer.

 

And I'm not insulting Canada at all - I love that place. I would live in Banff tomorrow if given the opportunity. I was stunned last summer - I went to a McDonald's of all places (in Vancouver) and there was a huge line. I pulled out an American $20 and the cashier took me first over the other 15 people in line. I'm sure I made some friends that day!!

 

Prince Rupert might rain 320 days out of the year, but I love it. Victoria ROCKS. Banff RULES. Calgary was COOL. I love your country, and have the $500 tea set to prove it. The inside passage of BC? It's HEAVEN ON EARTH. I want my ashes spread there when I die.

No worries man, I only kib about the States because Canadian culture dictates that I have to spend at least ten minutes a day bashing the States. We have a wee bit of an inferiority complex up here you know.

 

As for Blue it truly is the nectar of the gods.

I love Canada and look forward to going back sometime. I've been to the island provinces ( Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland) I was to Winnepeg a while back as well. I'd like to go check out Western Canada sometime when I get some more time off.

You were in Winnipeg, I am very sorry to hear that. It's a nice place to live but an awful place to visit.

That was back in the mid 80's when I was a boy. I dont remember it all that well though. Has it changed since then?

Nope, not much ever really changes around here.

The funny thing about the story is the phrase, "if the Mets are in contention"...they couldn't even compete in the AL Central!!!

Kazmir, Heilman, Seo or Reyes minimum for Maggs if they really want him. And as if Loaiza is goin to be dealt at the deadline as well.

All Americans are arrogant so whats your point?  

I love Canada. It's a beautiful country and has a wonderful national anthem.

 

In fact, the only negative thing I can think of about Canada is that it's full of Canadiens.
