And then we blow out our bullpen which is already one guy short right before playing the Cubs... geez.

Sox line up Harris Jimenez Thomas Ordonez Daubach Lee Valentin Crede Paul

I am never going to say to trade him for prospects. I'd trade him for some really good players. Say, a deal where you get Pat Burrel and Brett Myers from Philly. Not saying they would do it, just an example. As long as Maggs is really to re-up for something around 8-10 mill a year, then I do it. If he wants more, then in all honesty I wouldn't pay it. The Sox have to manage this club cheaply cause thats how the owner wants it done. If your going to have a small payroll, you can't pay a guy like 15% of the payroll and have about 3 or 4 players making 80%. That just isn't a sucessful way to operate. Sign him at to a 4 yr 32 mill deal with some incentives that push it to 40 if he's an all star in 3 of the 4 season. If he wins the MVP he automatically gets 40 mill. Guaranteed 8 mill, with incentives to take it to 10 mill per season. Are you kidding me? Ordonez would laugh at a 4 year 32 mil deal. He is due to make $14 mil next year, do you really think he is going to take a near 50% pay cut? If we are going to insult him with an offer we might as well do what the A's have done with Tejada and just flat out tell him that we can't afford to resign him.

Which incentinly neither of which is very repectful...

Looking at our upcoming schedule this is the time to make the move. The next 12 games are tough as we have home and home series against the Cubs and Twins. Then after that we have a cakewalk for the last 10 games going against Detroit, Tampa and Cleveland.

They are budgeting $3.5 million for Loiaza in 2004, not a penny more.

D'Angelo Jimenez with 5 points. Also with 4 points as runners up were Maggs and Daubach. The only picker was Thebighurtbegood.

There is more trade talk on ESPN.com but this was the only thing that had our names in it

Most hits Least hits Over/under total runs for the series. Anyone ejected Most K's (hitter or pitcher) Who gets more hits between players

They could take a class in how to speak Bridgeport, that way they understand some of their fans too

Dr Dre did...

Scammin Sammy shouldn't even be there. Him and Jason Giambi deserved to be booed if they are there, amongst some others...

As tempting as it is to take Crede who is 4-4 lifetime against Lowe, I am going to go with Frank Thomas and see if he can get it going again.

Wright since he came back from his injury has the opposite problem, he has too much movement and can't control his pitches enough to throw them for strikes. Everything has a ton of tailing and/ or sinking action. He needs to get more speed on his pitches that way he has less movement.

There was one quote on this kid and the big polish kid that really struck me. Neither one of them is playing a lot of minutes where they are now. If they are that good, why aren't they playing? I really agree with the Bulls theory on D. We need a guy who can go out and shut some people down. Our offense it coming around although if we could get a top 10 scorer and reduce our log jam at the same time at some positions I would be all for it.

OK well it sounds good to me. So now we need questions and contestants...

We are trying hard to trade the 7 pick as I understand it. The players we are most likely to deal sound like JWill, Fizer, ERob, and maybe even Rose if we can get a big time scorer. They want to get at least a big time defender at the SF position if they can't find their big time scorer. I think Crawford is going to stay here.

cw, There's no better way than that to put it. No class. Plain and simple. Just like schools in summertime... no class man I miss Fat Albert

Once again there is an early start for the getaway day against Red Sox. Game time is 1:05pm. Make sure to get your pick to clicks in!!!!

Plenty of them. Security has gotten much better at Comiskey for these games, but I can't vouch for the north side urinal.

I have been trying to follow the NBA draft in at least as far as it applies to the Bulls. The NHL draft is too hard to follow, and there isn't much info on it.

Can I get back to you on this next June so should we resign him and at what cost? We have a one year team option for 04 at $3.5mil. As for the whole fluke things, all of the trolls were first saying how awful he was, then he pitched awesome in April, they were saying wait til May. May he pitches awesome they say wait til June. June he is still pitching well now they are saying wait til after the all star break. I think Loz may have turned the corner. It was well documented the problems he had in Toronto. He became a two pitch pitcher too easily, and he didn't work hard enough between starts. Once he was given his wake up call, unlike some who have been tagged as lazy, he has gone out of his way to improve and make a good impression.

and while you are in jail imagine all the cork you may be getting there.
