The West just got a lot more interesting with the Kings losing Chris Webber. This is anybody's NBA finals now.

It is looking more and more like sending down Holt was the best thing we could have done for him. Any chance he goes back to B'ham soon?

He'll find work quickly. I doubt he will be unemployed too long. Out of curiousity how bad was the Sox break up with Torborg? Were the bridges burned or was it amicable?

Is it DL time for Billy???

Thanks CW, I was going to look for some all star stuff next game I got up to, now I can browse on line!

The thing that has always caught my eye about the Sox system is the best years always seem to happen at AA Birmingham. Is that the Wally Backman influence, or just the kind of guys we draft, I don't know.

According to today's trib the rehab wasn't working and they are going to have to do surgery. I wonder how much of Hernandez's arms problems were known when the Sox did the 3 way deal involving he and Colon (et al)?

A minor league board is a good idea, and the reason of stuff getting buried quickly on the big board is exactly why. That way if people want to know about Royce Ring, it will be much easier to find on the minor league board, versus either trying to find it on here, or just reasking questions.

THere is no way Belle makes it into the HOF without the Vets committee putting him in. Don't forget it is the baseball media that elects players. The same media that AB was at constant war with during his whole career.

I really believe that most of the pitching stuff does not go through JM, just his style seems to be to trust his staff to do what they are supposed to do.

You can say that again! I hope they call him back up before we play the Tigers again so we get to say his name a bunch of times!!!

It is what I have been saying all year. Give the bench guys regular AB's and they will hit. The bench his year is too good to have guys sit and rot like Leifer and Rowand did last year. Daub, Rios, and Graffy are invaluable if they get 12-15 AB's a week.

I agree Apu, let Al do his thing. At least Al has the decency to approach any and all artists that he parodies. You think Em has enough class to approach the people that he tears into? All this tells me is his whole Bad Ass house of cards that he is built is a joke. He is afraid of being a has been if he is afraid of a Weird Al parody!

I cannot believe that with Kerry Wood's glass elbow, Dusty Baker has Kerry Wood go out and throw 141 pitches last night. Wasn't he paying attention to AJ Burnett who is undergoing Tommy John surgery because of his abuse?

SO out of curiousity what do you think of the Sox drafting philosophy the last few years to go after pitchers almost exclusively in the first few rounds?

Did you notice how many former Major Leaguers are in that Toledo lineup? BRING BACK BOCACHICA!!!!

mmm Crow.

The biggest one lately I can remember was the Indians game against Seattle where they came back from like 12 or 13 runs over the last 3 innings of the game at the Jake. Anyone remember the details any better?

With Thomas, I thought it was dual buy out options where if Thomas or the team wanted out of the contract after any season all they had to do was pay a couple of million dollars and that was it???

Happy B-Day!

KW probably bought the getaway car from Billy Beane which turned out to be a Girls Schwinn bike!

Don't mind PA he is just pissy they took away his internet at work!

Why not, who do you think took Kenny to school all of those times???

I hope your right, because right now he is hitting like the worlds biggest leadoff hitter.

Drinking to forget your baseball teams woes??? Where have I heard this one before...
