What's going on with this guy, he's a pretty big free agent out there, and I thought and still think that the sox are going to be in the running for this guy, but I haven't heard anything about him since the offseason started about him, do you think teams have just been waiting to see the giants decline arbitration on him or what? I'm just curious to what's going on with him.

Yeah that is huge, but the real question is how much of that money is deferred, because we all know, that it's not all up front.

Beastly it's not KW's fault that Fatolo is an Angel, he couldn't put up any more money, and yes we haven't done anything yet, but wait until the end of this week, if nothing happens I'll be real pissed off too, but don't blame colons departure on kenny, blame it on the chairman.

Brandofan, it also should be mentioned that it was crede's first full year in the majors, yes there is 2 halves, but he showed improvement in the 2nd half which is very important, hopefully meaning he's ready to have a solid whole season this year. I don't know how you can say he didn't make any highlight plays at 3rd, cause he made plenty.

Don't worry about it, I can see how you could mistake what I had written.

Beastley I wasn't trying to make fun of you at all or anything, I just said you stumbled over Soriano, these things happen, i just brought it up, cause flash said he was nervous, so I was just saying that he didnt stumble over anything.

Good job Flash you didn't mess up at all, the guy who mentioned soxtalk before stumbled over ALFONSO Soriano, Bruce said that the sox will probably make a push to go after Ponson, but it's kind of scary signing a guy to a 3 or 4 year deal, who has only had 1 and a half good years.

Wow sorry i left out alot of info, espn radio 1000 right now.

If anyone is interested they're going to have a special 2 hour talking baseball tonight with Bruce Levine and John Rooney hot stove special, should be interesting, just thought you guys would like to know.

The wave sucks, it just blocks the view of the people who actually want to watch the game, people who do the wave, just don't care about whats going on, on the field.

BINGO guys I know Colon is obviously going to eat up more innings, but for those people who keep saying don't look at Ponson cause he just had his career year, he's going to be 27 at the beginning of next season he's still a very young pitcher, and look at his numbers they keep getting better and better each year, maybe he's learned how to pitch a little bit, cause he's always had the stuff.

I'll give you 14 million reasons why.

He's definitely welcome to the cell at anytime, and that's the best idea I've heard all day about the bobble head, that would be classic.

YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOEVER THAT KID IS, HE DESERVES A HUG!!!!!!!! :fthecubs :fthecubs

Sorry to burst the bubble on Pierre, but I'm pretty sure that he isn't a fa, but I've also heard that the Marlins might try to get rid of him for an outfield power bat, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

If you lived in Chicago or in the area you'd understand why everyone is going crazy about the cubs winning, you can't understand the feeling unless you live here, with there fans, and everything else. :fthecubs

I'm surprised to see Guzman so far down, did his injury have something to do with that?

I agree with you chisoxfn, to me the two most important fa's this team needs to sign are bart and flash, no matter what happens, with a new manager the sox will be competitive, I know im in the minority but i want to see frank gone, i also would like to see pauly get traded, and I wouldn't mind maggs getting traded if we got something good in return, what i want to see in the offseason is bartolo resigned, flash resigned, a new good manager, and some speed added to the offense. Whatever happens in the offseason, it's going to be hard to put a more inconsistent and worse offense out there, then what they did statistically this year.

I completely agree, I'm tired of having a clump of homerun hitters throughout the whole lineup, hopefully kw will get rid of some of these homerun hitters and get the speed that can win this franchise some baseball games, Luis Castillo would be absolutely amazing, but don't count on it.

I would bet that the majority of baseball fans think the sox would win the division except for sox fans because of a couple of things, one because of this teams history, two because of our manager, and three because of the mental strength of this club, I hate to say it, but the sox are definitely done.

I'm as nervous as I've ever been, tonights game is huge, and if we lose this series, we'd have to look to 2004, and I don't want to end this year with out atleast a division title with all this damn talent.

I'm just curious what the view is from up there, I've never been up there before so I'm wondering if you can actually see things from up there or if its a bad view. So anyone who's been up there before, is it a good view?? THANKS!!!!

Unfortunately I agree with you, I would really love to see bart back with us next year, but it just won't happen.

Will you please explain to me how the wells traded f***ed us over in the long run, because I'm sure if we had sirotka we'd be much better off right now, and yes the ritchie and koch trades turned out being bad, but kw has done his job he's put a team out there that should win this division and would have a chance to go deep into the playoffs, KW has done his job, JM has not.

I would much rather just see this team stay together, rather then go after Miggy, I would just absolutly love to see what this team could do for a whole year together.
