Happy BDay Buddy. This weekend, we'll go out somewhere. Hope ya have a kickass Bday

Well, someone would of gave him 20 million per over 6 yrs or so (I think the Braves offered something like this) and then Texas offered 25 per over 10.

I'm very comfortable with Flash as long as he's healthy. I think the only thing you have to worry about with him is that. When this guy is healthy, he's awesome. Overall though, nice article Matt

Chisoxfn, Where abouts in CA are you? I'm down in Orange County, Irvine to be exact. I go to school in Fullerton though. If ya don't know where Irvine is, I'm a little less then 15 minutes South of Anaheim Stadium.

He had the shot to make good money if he made the roster, but pretty much all of the contract was incentives. I think they will lose like 50 k or so. I wish him the best as he was nothing but good and classy while here, but I really have believed he is done. Its sad he had to have such a severe arm injury and he just hasn't ever been able to come back from it, and I don't really think he ever will. Its already been like 2 years, maybe 3 since his operation.

Commentary: Ten Things to Talk About By Matt Michel March 17, 2003

I read where Olivo's problems were due to him taking a while to learn english. Now he's improved a whole lot and he may not be perfect but its not longer much of a concern.

In a late night meeting tonight he's made a decision and it looks like Tony Blair is with him on this. Basically this is the last chance to avert war. I'm sure someone can find a link on this, but I'm doing a project right now. British, Spain and US are going to be working with everyone else on trying to reach an agreement, mainly with Germany and France I'm assuming. Just was going to bring it up.

I think you just sold me Spiff. Can you do a 4 man rotation? I was going to go with World Series 2k3, but now I'm thinking ASB sounds sweet. Its what i've had for such a long time.

thanks same with pitching? Yep

It was $50 at EB but I had a gift card for 10 so i wound paying about 42 with tax. This game seems pretty hard to me, even on rook. The pitch really comes in fast too, you have to develop an eye for recognize the pitch, and where it's going. That's what makes it tough. I have won a lot of 3-2, 2-1, 5-3 type games. I'm about 20 games into a franchise and it's still great. There's so many details from hot/cold zones, to hitting charts and pitch counts, warming up the bullpen, putting in righties against left handed pitchers, etc it makes it very realistic. Hows the franchise mode? Can you hire coaches, draft minor leaguers, multiplayer/uneven trades, etc.?

The Sox didn't play today, the ESPN think was a mistake.

You got all his points. If you play him at 3rd you get the points no matter where he's playing.

Amazon had it for 40 bucks a couple days ago.

No, this came up this year in terms of what was going on last year at the beginning of the season, so it would of been them and the Expos getting contracted and not them and the Twins.

what????? I never heard those rumors - that stuff was really said? are their situations that perilous? The Angels have a new stadium, but Disney doesn't want to own so they figured that would be a good situation. The A's are in terrible situation. They have a crappy stadium, no fan base and have been winning the past couple years and it hasn't done anything. The Angels have a real good fan baes now and even before theres was pretty good and they have a nice facility. The only thing was the ownership didn't want to own and it still doesn't, but they are paying the money to keep the team intact. Oaklands ownership would then go down to Anaheim where there is a fan base, a nice stadium, and they would of been willing to spend money. It came out about a week ago. THey were talking about it all over the place on sportstalk this week.

Cool, I'll tune in as soon as I finish my accounting stuff I'm doing.

I think Oakland is one of those teams that will get contracted at the end of the labor agreement if they can't get a new stadium. The Twins are in the same boat, imo. Also, reports came out that last year the Angels were very closed to being contracted and then the A's would of moved to Anaheim.

Well, I wouldn't expect them to get any baseball. It is the same storm that was where I was yesterday and we got 4 inches of rain (According to my dad who put out some thing before the raining start). It was pouring all day yesterday and I'm assuming it will do the same in Arizona.

Damn, WS2k3 better be better.

What game is this for? I know when I played ASB last year I'd win like every game. My staff at an era of about 1.50 and my offense had everyone hitting .400 or more. I didn't even try to do it either.

If they had traded Gibbons to Colorado for Cust....their GM should be shot. He would have been shot already. Their GM is alive....because Gibbons is still in Baltimore. It was Richard for Cust. Trading a stud in Gibbons for a guy who didn't hit in Colorado of all places would have been a huge mistake. gibbons is my fantasy lerague 1st baseman..tell me it was him that got sent to colorado Lol, but Helton would be playing over him. Be glad it was Richards. I've always liked Jack Cust.

I F'n never win anything..I think the last thing I won was a free 20 Oz pepsi or something like that. Thats all I ever win.

That was a sweet grab.

Lol, I thought you knew that. I mentioned it was on TV I think. Not positive. I missed the first full inning though. My stupid paper didn't list it so I didn't hurry back from work, but then I turned it to WGN to check and there it was.
