He is at 98 pitches, and Billy Koch is warming in the pen... doesn't seem like that CG is going to happen for Jon unless we get some runs here.

5.00 is the Navarro line? Man I would have thought 6.00 at least if not 7 or 8! If you take his career ERA, and his ERA with us, then they average out to around 5.00.....I guess. Anyways....what's the difference between a 5.00 ERA and an 8.00 ERA? They're both s***ty! But you get under 5.00...and you're a Cy Young candiate! Gosh....I thought everyone knew that. Well there is s***ty, and then there is Jaime "damn they don't score enough runs for me" Navarro. Man would he love being on this team

So does Konerko. I don't care who plays first anymore as long as they can HIT!

You don't give a guy that big of a % of your teams salary if your a lower market team or a lower payroll team. Its just not smart cause it handcuffs you with all other deals. I think they can sign him for 10 mill a year and at that price its alright to have one high priced guy. And there is no way that Maggs takes a 30% paycut. Heck someone will give him at least what he was making, if not more. SS2k3... Maggs at $10 mill a year is too cheap, however, he wouldn't necessarily be taking a 30% pay cut. He would be in the final year of his deal, and a lot of times, in the final years of deals, players get paid the most. 5 years, $60 mill....$12 mill a year.....would be good. He earns more per year then he does on his current contract(a little less then $10 mill a year) and he makes a little less in his first year then he does in his last year. I would guess that someone like Boston or NY Yanks will step in and offer him 5 years at $15 mil. Look at the deal that Thome got. I think Maggs can get about the same annual amount for less years.

As of the last few weeks he hasn't even been doing that much. He was great at getting on in April, but lately he hasn't even been walking at all.

As of now, I am willing to let Frank play 1B everyday if he goes out and drives in runs with RISP. Why not?

5.00 is the Navarro line? Man I would have thought 6.00 at least if not 7 or 8!

Actually the intent of the government was never to be the nations biggest employer. Don't you realize all of those government employees with their huge benefits are being paid by you and I? I have no interest in having my tax dollars going to things that SHOULD be done by the private sector. the government has ZERO business being involved in so many of the things that it does. Do you realize how much less effecient at most private sector activities? I don't have the #'s on this but I would bet that it takes the government at least $1.25 to do what the private sector could do for a dollar. And the last part of your statement just bolsters my outrage at the system. It wasn't just a fight. This guy and his son made a blind attack on a defenseless person. It wasn't like two guys duking it out in a bar over a girl. These two guys nearly beat Gamboa senseless. They cost him part of his hearing permanently. He will never get back what these two lowlifes took from him. His punishment ends in 5 years, when does Gamboa's punishment for being in the wrong place at the wrong time end? HE DID NOTHING! And IF someone attacked me or anyone else in a way that Gamboa was attacked along with all of the other illegal things he was doing at the time (criminal tresspassing, high on 5 drugs, intoxication etc..) He should get more than 5 damned years. Once again our goverment is so worried about things like sex, censorship and other moral issues that have no bearing on another persons life, and wasting our resourses, that legimate needs of society from their government gets short changed

cool, the more the merrier!

Thanks Jas, I couldn't remember who was doing them so I figured I ask. And tell him to come up with a luckier wallpaper, May's was like a kick in the nuts!

Now you are talking Jerry's language!!!

I was thinking the same thing myself. Welcome over Bob!

Well tonight ought to be another occasion for this thread to be used. Tor going for the sweep, and Jon Garland on the mound.

I agree. Maggs should bat third if Thomas is not starting or hurt. Lee bats cleanup until Konerko starts SOMETHING. Rios or Daubach or anyone else batting 3rd would be a mistake, and it shows. I wouldn't hit Carlos behind Maggs. It gives Carlos more protection with him in front of Maggs. I would hit Val #2 Carlos #3 and Maggs #4, with Frank on the bench.

meh, samething

I am going to go out on a limb and say Frank Thomas

I'm not sure who did April and May's but is anyone going to do a June Soxnet/Soxtalk wallpaper???

Enjoy. Read only if you don't offend easily!!! http://www.theonion.com/onion3920/its_not_easy.html
