Paulie is getting a leason in what it takes to be in the majors. Frank as Frank is one of the best in baseball, along with very few that can lead as hitters, not just home run hitters. 3-4 with 2 RBI and a homer 1-2 with 2 walks and a run scored Not 1-4 Homer, 2 RBI, 3 K's, 6 left on.

And that's a bad thing?

Frank Thomas is the only guy we have that carry this team and one of the few in baseball. The last six games prove this. Paul Konerko's days are over at first as Thomas and Daubach are playing well. Daubach should be our DH, or Aaron Miles.

Sure it cost us. Who lead off the ninth and who would've. Now what happens if this takes place three innings earlier. This is why we are not succeeding.

That may account for the second half of last season but he had a good spring.

It was both of them. I think the Japenese clubhouse guy got a shot as well.

He is a piece of s***. It is late and I am tired but he is an asshole!!!!!!!!!

We need a rep and Loiaza is the only other option, maybe Jimenez. Let's hope for Frank, he may get voted????? Wishful thinking, I know.

I do not recall four better pitched games by Sox starters as the last four. Hell I don't recall two consecutive like the last four. It is a shame we have to hope for 2-2.

So did Sammy. I guess he has to judge the distance differently with an uncorked bat. This has to lead off Sportscenter.

Forgot the $30,000 left on the hotel counter. This is my favorite and a direct indication of his steroid problem, IMO.

The biggest steroid one, the $30K left on the hotel desk in Costa Rica this was where I believe MLB covers things up, why was this not an issue.

This team needs a CF that can actually play defense. When a hard hit ground ball up the middle rolls to the wall for a double, wea re in bad shape. If we didn't have four guys hitting like they have never played the game before I would agree he is useless but we have nothiing to lose. Joe Borchard is not a centerfielder neitehr is harris. If we are going to take this mindset, put Konerko at third. We need to do soemthing to change the make-up of this team. If I hear about f'ing chemistry again I am going to puke we sucka nd need something. Trade Colon and Konerko for Nick Johnson and Weaver, f***, do soemthing. Who si running this circus anyway, I have faith but it is waning.

Do you think there is a chance he may resign?

I am not an expert in anything but I kind of want to go over the marks against sosa that have not affected his image. Thomas is destroyed for far less. In recent memory, (this morning,) there are quotes of him refusing to go to rehab and that this is not an issue as it is too late now. His team was almost swept and lost their first place standing yet he thinks he is too good for the minors. Knock off the bulls*** THAT team needs me to win. Contract negotiations that almost get him traded and then his talk he may leave after this season. Never showing up to spring training on time. Thomas does this and he is the f***ing antichrist. Steroids, steroids, steroids. This m-f'er is the poster boy. Cork, cork, cork Rum bottle, rum bottle, rum bottle. These are off the top of my head.

What is the story on Powell and Harrington, just curious? and bored at work

My Detroit Red Wings jersey for Bob Corkum will come in handy. Now if he and shamee were the same number....wait........

If a team claimed him off waivers wouldn't they have to take his full salary. I think this would scare off many teams. I believe Crede is out of options as well.

Who is running our draft someone just told me KW is traveling with the team? I can see someone getting a BA mock draft and using this to conduct our draft. Kind of what I do for fantasy hockey.

How is Joe Valentine doing? The more I see John Halama pitch the more I think Billy may like to have Cotts.

Pitch counts will always be high if you are striking poeple out. Look at the Dusty twosome. I think walks are a bigger thing. If guys are not putting the ball in play they see more pitches and therefore there is a liklihood that the counts are deeper. His problem will be if guys are swinging and missing at bad pitches that they won't swing at here, (not this forum but at the big league level,) unless they are Joe Borchard.

Aren't Melvin Mora and Magglio best friends.............not sure if I have anything other than this.

I was there for the Ritchie affair. I think he had a perfect game going into the 5th then the defense completely feel apart. I drowned my sorrows in teh warehouse distrcit quite nicely. I think he lost hope after this and the Atlanta game.

I think it was Ray Allen that worked an agreement himself and hired an attorney to review and sign off on it. What the hell does Boras do for $500,000? Ask Bobby Hill, yet another year further from free agency. A-Rod was getting big money anyway Borass. I think I can go in and say Gary Sheffield is worth $12M a year what do you think?

Juan Cruz numbers are similar to Rick White. I believe this was a cub spin job to garner publicity. I really don't get the Red Sox rush to get rid of Hillebrand?
