May 22, 200520 yr Rocket off of the baggy up at the Metrodome. Although I'm enjoying what Podsednik has done for us this year, I miss Carlos!! Way to go Caballo!
May 22, 200520 yr You know, C. Lee beat the Cubs twice this year. Now, he's going to help put the Twins farther behind in the AL Central. Hells yeah! Props go out to Carlos.
May 22, 200520 yr El Caballo brought us 2 key pieces to this puzzle, and has been doing some Cub and now Twin killing, so I have no hard feelings at all. Congrats to Carlos on a big accomplishment.
May 22, 200520 yr Carlos can hit but I don't think we did too bad in that trade... Scott Podsednik .294 AVG .394 OBP 11 RBI 26 SB 25 R 22 BB 16 SO Edited May 22, 200520 yr by Jabroni
May 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ May 22, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) If the Sox fell off the face of the earth, id be a Brewers fan. If I attend Marquette (which is a good possibility), I'm definitely going to become a Brewers fan. With all of those kids coming up, Fielder, Weeks, etc, it's gonna be hard not to like that team...

May 22, 200520 yr Carlos with a bases loaded none out double in the 7th for a 6-0 Brewers lead on the Twinkies.
May 22, 200520 yr Carlos with a bases loaded none out double in the 7th for a 6-0 Brewers lead on the Twinkies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, Lee is now 3 for 4 with a HR, 2 doubles, and 4 RBI's.
May 22, 200520 yr Not a bad catch by Carlos right there. Possibly robbing a home run from Jaque Jones, he's having one hell of a game.
May 22, 200520 yr It was really hard to see him go, but like its been said Pods has been great and so has AJ and iguchi and everything. Although ill always forever be a Carlos Lee fan.
May 22, 200520 yr I still like Carlos. As of now, he's my favorite non-Sox player. I just wish he didn't have to be traded for the Sox to get Pods. Oh well.

May 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) Not to mention all the money we saved. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We could've saved more by switching to Geico.

May 22, 200520 yr We never should have traded C Lee. It's w/out a doubt we needed Pods but we didn't have to trade Lee to get him. We could have worked a 3 way trade using Koney to get to Pods. Milw was looking for a proven hitter to play in the OF. Several teams had that. Those teams were looking for a proven hitter to play 1B. But when I heard that it was Milw & checked to see that they are in fact the cross-league rival of the Twins I said if it had to be any team thank God it was the Brewers. They've got 4 more with the Twins & I expect Lee to come up big in most of them. Watching Lee make a difference against the Cubs is always a good thing. The best thing about the Lee trade is that there are no hard feelings. Ozzie's mouth nearly jeaopardized that but Lee answered those claims hard with the big slide into 2B that radically altered the Cubs season. Lee has not received a contract extension yet. That keeps the WSox in the running for getting him back in 2007.

THe reason was that he was an idiot in the clubhouse and a clueless idiot on the basepaths. He'll never sniff US Cellular again unless he is an opponent. Hell we threw at him in Spring Training.

May 22, 200520 yr I've read nothing that strongly suggests to me that C Lee was an idiot in the clubhouse. I think the Marte stuff was grossly exagerated. If that was true, just imagine the infighting that must have gone on with Maggs & Ozzie. I think most of that stuff is exagerated. Just like it was with AJ in SF. As for his talent to run the base pads I would say he has above average ability but his mental lapses make him below average. But I can live with that when you consider his money stats: HRs, RBI's, RISP, & RON.
