If we get Santana, I hope that Kenny has Tampa on the other line. My dream scenario would be to get Crawford without having to get rid of BMac.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) Exactly... I thought we learned our lesson last year with the bullpen. We gave up Marte, Vizcaino and of course lost Hermanson to injury. Not that Marte and Vizcaino were great, but you can never have enough depth in that bullpen and look how much we scrambled last year to get the bullpen back in shape. Cotts, like Marte, is coming off a tough year, but I think we're giving up too fast here. Those hard-throwing lefties are too hard to come by. Gotta be more patient with them, IMO. Not liking this. I wouldn't put Cotts and hard-throwing in the same sentence.

Keep in mind that I have been out of school for going on 7 years now, but when I was at IU the health center wasn't that bad. If the symtoms don't go away I would have yourself checked out. Maybe its the clap?

I just read that Lidle's father was watching coverage of the crash on TV, obviously not knowing that it was his son's plane. What a terrible way to find out. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. RIP.

signed 4-year deal worth 15.25M on 4/1/05 that superceded deal for 2005 season- + he receives a 500K signing bonus and salaries of 500K in 2005, 2.5M in 2006, 4M in 2007, and 5.25M in 2008- + the deal includes a Team Option for 2009 worth 8.25M or a 2.5M buyout- + if the 2009 option is exercised, then a Team Option for 2010 worth 10M or a 1.25M buyout is added- + 2010 option value could rise to 11.5M based on various escalators, including one for AL MVP votes --this is from mlb4u.com

I wish I had an Aver's BBQ pepperoni pizza in Bloomington, IN...

You may be interested in a 40 year fixed. This is now offered through most lenders. These types of programs are good for people in your situation. They keep the payments down while keeping a fixed rate. The only down side to this type of loan is that it amortizes over 30 years, so if you plan on staying in this townhome for that long you will have a balloon payment at the end. Most likely this is just a starter home for you and you won't have to worry about the balloon.

Can somebody fix the date for this thread, unless I am in Groundhogs Day, then I guess today's game can also be played on 8/14.

A couple of years ago I was sitting down the first base line 2 rows from the field. Robbie Alomar caught a short pop fly to shallow rightfield and as he was about to turn and run towards the Sox dugout I yelled his name. He threw me the ball.

Here is the lineup... Pods LF Iguchi 2B AJ C Dye RF Crede 3B Gload 1B Cintron DH Anderson CF Uribe SS

Anyone remember The Body Shop in Lansing? Now that was a high class establishment. You could even bring your own beer.

Needs more cowbell.

I may be mistaken, but weren't every one of MIN runs scored with 2 outs?

See ya in a week Fathom!!!

7-3 CLE now, Inge hits a 3run hr.

I agree that the players are paid to perform, but I also think that it is the job of a manager to utilize the information available to him to do what gives his team the best chance to win. It is Ozzie's job to know that the 3rd time around Javy doesn't fool anyone. His leash in that situation should have been extremely short. He had Cotts warming in the pen, and after the 2 run Hr he should have brought him in. Hindsight is 20/20, but you can't tell me that every Sox fan didn't have flashbacks when the Twins lead off the 6th with a single.

I believe that Levine just said that it was Tyler and someone named Cortez for MacDougal?

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) Score 670 just confirmed that this deal is close... id want the sox to sign him long term if they get him. idea is that pods would be in the deal, along with anderson... another idea is that they are getting soriano just to deal him elsewhere (see the near maggs for garciaparra deal a few years ago.) Pods and Anderson in the deal? Who the hell is going to play CF?

Jenks in a non-save situation...uuh-oh

Gameday says injury delay? Is someone hurt?

31 for Count and 28 for the Gambler.

9-6 KC. Here comes DET.

At least now maybe BOS and NY will underestimate us next time.

Big suprise there Jim.

Sorry, now it is 4-1 KC. Can they hold a lead for once in the series?
