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.

Lol, ya beat me too it Baggs. I just posted the same thing. Way to go Danny. We need him healthy, it would make me feel a whole lot better.

He threw today and Manuel said that he is doing a lot better. Thats definately some good news. They are talking that he needs to get in a 5 inning outing or I think thats what they said. Also talked about Loiaza and there is a real good shot that Esteban will be the 5th, but JM kept saying good things about Wright.

I always thought Mark would come through last year. I would of been as happy as can be if he hit .250 cause he drew a lot of walks, could bunt, and called a good game.

I love it, the Sox game is on!!!!. Great bunt by Miles basehit. Two on board, with nobody out. Missed the 1st inning, so the Sox are going to have to redo it and score 5 more this inning.

2 months in the minors will not change him from the next rob deer if thats his destiny to the next mickey mantle...with his talent if he is not ready now he never will be Disagree. He hasn't played baseball full time since he was drafted. That takes some adjustments. The guy will be alright. I almost think he'll be in Charlotte all season and then next year will be his time. He didn't look ready when I saw him. I just hope he could find a way to get ready now, cause we could really use that left handed bat (most of the time thats the side he'll swing from)

He was guaranteed being the opening day starter. They don't think the Bears will draft a qb with the 4th pick in the draft, but if they want to they can.

But, versatilty doesn't mean everything, look at Josh Paul. I don't think Paul is as bad as some here, but if you can't do a couple things well, then with the amount of good players fighting for jobs, your going to have a tough time getting on the 25 man. The only reason Harris is there is because he's the only guy that can backup in center. If Rios could do it on ocassions, then the Sox would just stick with that and then carry Miles.

The problem with Vegas is look how good the bowl games do there. They get like 10,000 people. The population there is definately growing and the houses out there outside of the city are pretty damn nice, but still, I don't know if they have the group that would support a major league baseball stadium.

Recap: Loiaza Earns Rotation Slot By Mario Scalise March 14, 2003

Some people are against him no matter what he does. That is unfortunate, and those people will probably never give him credit no matter what he does. Well, I call it like I see it and I think he's done a pretty good job this offseason. He went out and landed an ace pitcher for pretty much nothing. Before that he brought us in a guy that is happy being a closer, and was one of the top closers in the majors last year and is very young. Him and Foulke are both good, but Koch will be here a longer time, which shows it was not just him thinking shorterm which is what so many have thought one of his problem was in some of his previous trades. After that he could of said hey, I call it an offseason, but he signed Flash Gordon to fill a slot in the bullpen and when Flash is healthy he's one of the best in the game. Then he signed Rick White who was dominate with the playoff bound Cardinals last season, once he joined the team. He didn't just sit there and say, we have prospects, so I'm just going to hand them the job. He's going to make those guys earn the job and I think thats the best way to do it. A bullpen is a place where you want a real good mixture of guys. We got two lefties, one throws pretty hard the other softer, both god odd motions. Then we have one righty in White that doesn't throw too hard. Glover who has 3 pitches, well pretty much 3 in a fastball change and curve. Then you get Flash and his fastball curve combo. And of course Billy Koch. With the rotation, now that he had 4 guys he could of said hey thats enough, but once again he thought, lets go out and sign some more guys in this case, Heredia and Loiaza to minor league deal and now people are talking about Loiaza being the 4th guy in the rotation ahead of the "sore" Danny Wright. He also brought in Brian Daubach and Armando Rios really strengthening the bench, especially compared to what it was last year, where we had absolutely nothing on the bench. To me he's showing signs that he's really learning. In previous years we probably wouldn't have Flash or White or Loiaza and potentially Daubach, but this year he's learned that a team needs a ton of depth and you can never have too much and he's done just that. He realizes you can't rush prospects and this is going to be good for the Sox prospects. They will get their time to learn in the minors, so when they finally come up, they'll be ready. Of course what happens in the season who knows, but I seriously could see KW winning a gm of the year award of things go RIGHT and I'm talking World Series.

If you save it 247, email it to me and I'll put it up on the server and that will work.
