QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 27, 2005 -> 06:39 AM) From the Miami Herald..... Damnit, I want Luis Castillo for the 2-hole, but we have Iguchi at 2B. Damn.

I think what hurts the most for Heads is the fact that they lost to Kansas with their starting QB out. OUCH. If it makes you feel any better, UIC lost to St. Xavier(NIAA team) in basketball, at our home opener.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) I would love Milton Bradley for center field and the 2-hole but there's no way Kenny adds a bad clubhouse guy like him. Although we did sign Pierzynski and he was supposedly a clubhouse cancer. But in Bradley's case, it's most likely true. But he's rumored to be available for next to nothing. The Dodgers may even decide to non-tender Bradley if no team offers them anything for him. This lineup would be sick though: Podsednik LF Bradley CF Thome DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Iguchi 2B Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS I couldn't really hold it against Kenny for not being interested in Bradley though. He's got a lot of skill but he's still a headcase. I think what would kill any chance of Bradley coming here is accusing of a player being racist(Jeff Kent). I don't think KW wants to come anywhere close to that drama. No doubt the guy is talented though. If it was just a case of him not getting along with some of his teammates, I could see Kenny taking a flyer, but that's not the case. I know what we should do. Trade for Jose Guillen.

QUOTE(timotime @ Nov 26, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) to quote the marx bothers, "you know what happens when you assume..you make an ass out of u and me." i think there isnt much chance of that happening at all. I'll eat crow if im wrong, but i see us sticking with anderson. let the flubs have pierre. He didn't say on the Southside. He said in Chicago. That could mean either place.

Do we have that Griffeytalk.com banner still?

What's the deadline for when the Sox and PK have to cut off discussions until May?

Wow. Furcal for that much? They're on crack.

I'll do this for the Marlin fans. Plus those at marlinsbaseball.com sent me an e-mail wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving.

What some people also need to take into account is that maybe Kenny won't make another big move until the deadline. He loves having flexibility to make a move at the trade deadline so he could go for the jugular. I love the way that KW operates. Always have and always will.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) Someone better find a way to get Aaron in Chicago on day 2 of the regular season next year. I'll get the van ready. We'll do it like the Italian Job.

QUOTE(bulokis @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) That's what I thought about when I saw the press conference. Probably hard saying goodbye to the other stooges and the rest of the team. Poor Rowand, he really loves it here. Ah screw it. Let's trade for him back. Let's give up the farm.

Neither. I'll just stick my hands in my pockets if they're too cold.

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Was this them: http://www.pcgamingtech.net/images/lee.jpg I know it is rude to bother celebs, but I would have said something along the lines of "Look there is Scott Podsednik" and pointed over his shoulder to see his reaction. Put me in the Jim Thome fanclub.

This is the one ESPN uses, and usually they all use the same pic:

Jauron isn't a bad coach. He just won't turn an unbalanced team into a great one. As far as the Lions go, I think Bill Billichek would be hard pressed to turn them into any type of contender. That's how bad Millen is.

I wouldn't mind picking up Patterson as a backup OF. He'd come cheap. It's been something I've thought about for a year. I think the Cubs did just mess him up with wanting him to go up and down in the order so much and never letting him get comfortable in one spot. Crede's old/new swing is short which is why he's a good hitter when he uses it. Before Sept, he used some modified swing that he picked up after his first year of getting to the majors. BTW, I don't know why people keep saying Pierre is a bad player. He's a pretty good player and is above average. Let's get some things straight: 1)He's not bad defensively. I don't know where this myth comes from. Is he as good as Anderson or Rowand? No, but in no way does he suck at defense. He's middle of the pack when it comes to the whole league. 2)He's a pretty good offensive player who had a bad year. I'd look at his trends, his age and what he can do. That shows me he would be a very good top of the order for years to go and that 2005 was an exception rather than the rule.

Wow he looks so weird in that garbe.

Blame the Cubs for overpaying. They're the ones who set the market. Goddamn though. That's way overpaying for Ryan. He makes as much as Rivera, does he not? BTW, a suggestion: Change the thread title to "B.J. Ryan Has a New Home, Car, Plane, Boat, Cousin..." or "That's One Expensive B.J."

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Wow, I havent been to that place in ages. Yeah, it's a yearly tradition for me and a couple of friends from high school. Oh well, I never liked that place anyway for trying to make me serve other peoples' drinks and not get paid for it. Then again, it would be the ideal place for me to work at. I could be mean to people and have them do my job and get paid for it.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) Well, the trade is official! Trib: Thome trade a done deal Although, on an interesting note, nowhere in the article does it mention Gio as being part of the deal. It just says a player to be named later. Is it still expected to be Gio? Am I missing something here? I heard it's because Gio isn't on the 40 man roster that they have to put him in as PTBNL. Take it for whatever it's worth.

Crap, I didn't know it was going to be displayed this week. Ugh, I really wanted to get a pic with it. Oh well. Thanks for sharing Rangercal, beautiful pics.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) I have the #$%#$^ flu... so I've been pretty much doing nothing but sleeping. This sucks. Did you at least get to eat Thanksgiving dinner? I didn't. I have strep throat. I can't swallow anything unless it's tea. I have to garggle salt water. It sucks big time. So much food, but I can't eat any of it. I also can't go to Ed Debevich's tonight.
