Winning Ugly

I'll take Harris.

Alex, Are you going to pick a player from your matchup last week that you won? This is the second time you haven't selected someone.

That's not where the Red Sox would start, since they would want Colon to compete against the Yanks for the AL Title THIS YEAR. Trading Nomar, even with that SS prospect they have, would be a downgrade for them and a waste of time and money.

I'll pass. A fantasy league with all of us would have been better, but that's what you and I get for not being here then.

I think you are out of your league here. What source(s) do you have that this clubhouse fracas occurs? "Some of our very favorites" would be Maggs, Olivo and Loaiza....and guess what? They all speak spanish as well. I think the whole thing your trying to stir is a load of crap. Did you see how frustrated Colon was after the HR to Manny? Yes, he threw back to back high and wild pitches, but they were thrown with authority. That's how he shows his emotion. The guy's a workhorse and will improve as the season goes on. I wouldn't trade him for Fossum or anyone the Red Sox might be offering except that SS prospect they have. I agree...take the draft picks.

DJ is an annoying prick, you gotta admit. "WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BALL HITS THE FOUL POLE, HITS THE FENCE, HITS THE FOUL POLE..." LMAO AND NOW THEY ARGUE AGAIN. They both need to go.

CMON MANUAL YOU f***ING PIECE OF s*** ARGUE THAT CALL!!! THAT BALL WAS OUT OF HERE!!!

Unfortunately not. I was a Tier II Account Research Supervisor for my mortgage company at the time, and had I been in my current position of Systems Analyst, I would have had the application the Quality Assurance manager has to listen to and score customer service calls. I could have saved the call on an AUD or WAV file then e-mailed it to whoever. The only thing we do have is the "Kenny Williams Sucks!" wav on ArneHarris' signature. That could have been the all time classic wav to pass around. BTW does anyone have Lee Elia's Cub fan rant as a aud or wav? That was Les Grobsteins greatest moment. I have that Tex. E-mail me at [email protected] and I can get it for you when I get home tonight.

Crede to start a streak.

Umm....ok?

Wait a minute, PA. You say you were at work that day? I thought you were our Nelson guy playing the Simpson samples...

Right now, nobody is availavle in Florida. They can't even make up their minds about Lowell. I'd say everyone will be in a week or so, at least Lowell, Encarnacion, Pierre and quite possibly I-Rod.

Holy s*** that's funny. My boss' brother from Berwyn used to be a hobo that frequently stayed there. They still let them in?

There's a few good, cheap hotels in Cicero off Kostner Ave.

I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat.

Can anyone confirm this?

Maggs

Nah but I did forget to mention that I got Alomar as a backup in case I want to trade CJ for some pitching, because the Tribe and Rox were not represented. It's funny seeing Helton and Walker in the FA pool.

Thanks for the help, everyone. After Durham was snagged by Oakland, Foulke was snagged by the Giants in round one, I had to take Colon even though the Indians were not represented. The Expos were, and after he took Pedro in round 1, I knew he'd take Colon if I hadn't. Then after the Cubbies didn't take Sammy in round 1, I snagged him in round 2 for trade bait. That screwed me there as the Pirates grabbed Loaiza, and Oakland grabbed Koch, leaving me without a closer as the Expos has taken Biddle early that round as well. Luckily I snagged Lofton then, so Sammy's being traded for Foulke and Mueller (SF grabbed Mueller and Alfonzo already and got screwed when the Pirates took Bonds in round 1. So here's what my team looks like: C- Charles Johnson, Olivo 1B- Konerko, Thomas (soon to be eligible there), Cordero 2B- Jimenez SS- Valentin 3B- Mueller, Crede OF- Maggs, Lee, Lofton Util- Thomas SP- Colon, Kip Wells, Buehrle, Garland, Wright RP- Foulke, Eldred, Marte, Bradford So as you can see, I didn't fare so well with the former Sox players currently on other team, but did land Lofton, Wells, CJ, Bradford, Cordero and Eldred who will soon be starting again now that Izzy is back. The Sammy deal for Foulke and Mueller is a no brainer. Losing Bonds really hurt that guy, but Sammy is no where NEAR Bonds anymore. All in all a decent draft, however much competition out there. I never knew Jeff Kent played for the Mets, but he snagged him.

Graffanino

Jimenez

Nice article, Phil: http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/rogers_phil...il/1566989.html

I'll take Carlos.
