My point of view is the returns are only going to dimish as we rush towards the trading deadline. IMO the only chance we will have at getting something decent for Maggs is in Spring Training, when some team has a superstar get hurt, and wants to replace their output. Other than that, a pitching package will be a whole lot better than the s*** will get for him July, or the nothing that we will get for him after this season.l

Either way. Even if we sent Nomar on to LA for that same type of package. If we are going to dump Maggs, I want us to get a ton of pitching or a big name guy to replace him.

I had no problem with the Jose/Maggs-Nomar/Williamson deal, and I don't mind the Perez, Jackson/Miller, Mota, CF deal. Even if that last deal doesn't include Mota or the CF, I still like it.

The interesting slant on it, was that it was the "origninal" of the gospels because it was much less embellished than the Big 4, and it contained only the words of Jesus, and not the extras that the other gospel writers added, so the theory was that the others were written later because the improved upon the original.

Join him?

It is a translation by Marvin Meyer. I actually debated which type to get, a translation or a book about it, and went for the translation. I didn't want someone else's opinion to get in the way of what was in there. Then there is an "interpretation" Harold Bloom that I am reading now. It is a pretty clean intrepretation as he does a lot of referencing to other gospels where they parallell stories are. Very interesting stuff.

I haven't seen anything out of Show, that tells me he can get out righties at any kind of a consistant rate. I would rather see the guy work mop up out of the pen.

Thanks CW. I almost instinctively knew you would be the one to answer that question. I guess it is the NTN in the blood Anyways on a side note. This thread sure took a tangent from what I originally intended it to do, but I will say that I am pleasantly surprised. How often is their 8 pages of discussion in one day on something and no one has gotten flamed??? Great discussion all. And back to my original question, has anyone read the Gospel of St Thomas, or any of the "lost" gospels, such as Q or any others?

Who was the biblical scholar who went back and added up all of the days of occurences in the bible and came up with an exact creation date of about 5000 (IIRC) BC? That was one that always cracked me up. But hey, poking holes in arguements is what I do

Well good. This ought to be much more entertaining than last year

Is he on a contract drive? Just curious.

Did mention that I am sick of winter now? And that I have been sick of it since about, oh October? Damned snow. Well on the bright side now maybe those dump trucks can earn their $40 an hour

Yeah I wouldn't mind bringing in Erickson to be the 4th starter and letting the winner of Cotts/Rauch/Diaz/whoever else take the 5th spot, while sliding both Schow and Wright into the pen along with Koch, Shingo, Wunsch, Marte, Grilli.

Any word on what the Yankees will do with Boone's contract?

To me the question is how old are the fossils? Plate Techtonics takes literally millions of years to happen. If we are talking about fossils that are 10,000 or even 50,000 years old, then there were fish in the mountians. If we are talking about 50 million year old fossils then the arguement can be made that they were there and the mountians moved.

You can go back through old John Kass articles and get a laundry list of crap. Speaking of Meigs, I found it funny that no one mentioned that one of the big causes of the higher delays at OHare and Midway, it because all of those planes that would have been going to Meigs, are now fighting with commercial jets at the main airports. So now instead Daley wants to hand out $20 billion in new contracts to the same crones so he can fix the problem.

The Trib is saying that the Dodgers might be interested in Greg Maddux, which would precipitate the Perez, prospects for offense deal. It is just a theory, but it makes sense.

PLeasure doing business with you Dabby... Tony I countered your trade. I have no real interest in Modano. BGHB, I have a prop out there for you too!

Thanks for the answer. Good luck to ya in the Spring if we don't hear from you sooner. Same to Neal, Bull, and any of our other guys if they read this!!!

You really think someone is going to pay Magglio more money than Vlad Guerrero got?

So if the guy goes the teary eyed Bill Clinton route, he is in the Hall, and none of this ever happens. Good job Pete, you reaped what you sowed.

The thing that kills me is this guy keeps getting reelected with like 80% of the vote, when he has scandal after scandal, and steals money from the public right and left. Even during the late 90's early 0's when most places where stabilizing or even cutting taxes, Chicago was about the only place in the country where new taxes and tax increases where still happening. Plus all of the failed projects like Millenium Park, where cost overruns and delays have cost tax payer money, and things like the county building fire have killed people even though the company running the building had 7 people die in others of their buildings before getting this contract. People b**** about what George Bush does, but Chicago might be the most corrupt city in the world, and no one seems to care. There is like one columnist in one newspaper who stands up to this guy. Everyone else ignores it all.

Now see I would have thought you would have had to been a Sox fan to get one of these contracts seeing as all of these guys are friends and/or neighbors of King Daley. Hmm maybe they are just trying to confuse the prosecutors...

I was kinda wondering the samething myself, thanks for the link

I thought the 4 years at $48 mil was fair. And really I wouldn't have a problem with making it 5 years at the same money.
