Mr. Showtime

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 10:55 PM) Things are going to get so ugly at the park if Buehrle is traded. Being there all day today, the fans have so much hatred for this organization right now. I've gotta watch my words here... I'm gonna love having Mark on the team when we have an 75-85 million dollar payroll and we're right back in 4th place next year. Please ask these 'fans' what they expect the team to look like next year. These people upset me for some reason. I'm sure that I'm just to excepting, but I can look at the reality and see that this team will really bad for the next few years, do these 'fans' just assume next year is gonna be swell? That Mark and Jon will be resigned that Ichiro and Rowand are going to come in and we'll be stylin' in 08?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) He's not starting on my team. He's playing the Ozuna role instead, while given Hudson ample time off to keep him away from the DL. What role is Ozuna playing? You know he'll be on the team, unless we're just talking what you would do.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) Hudson has another year of arbitration remaining before he hits free agency after '08. It shouldn't be all that hard to work out an extension with him since he is a seconbaseman, doesn't hit leadoff and doesn't hit for incredible power. Something like 4 years, $5M per would be pretty fair for both sides and would take care of his final year of ARB while keeping him around through his 34th birthday. He's the best defensive secondbaseman in the game, has pretty good speed (doesn't steal a lot of bases), has a pretty good eye, doesn't strike out a lot and will hit between 10-15 homeruns. He's the kind of guy you stick at 2B and forget about. What about Richar?

No idea. I expect about 80 million in payroll, so whatever that gets. Most likely bad.

Can we please just make a trade? I don't even care for who or who leaves, just do something to take our minds off this...whatever it is we're watching.

to the people who follow wrasslin' let me just say WELLNESS~!

LOL, I love this show. One of the first things I hear Gager say is "MacDougal is healthy", then I read he got put on the DL today for Day. OK, finally heard the whole show. The minor league talk was great. Nothing to outlandish was said on the show, so good job keeping him in line Mario.

Another show?!~!~! I'll listen when I get home from work.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 4, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) It looks like these guys would rather be anywhere else but here. It's fine, after hearing just glowing reports about Pedro Alvarez at the Team USA game today, I have no problem with the Sox losing. Hopefully we accommodate some of those guys. I don't mind the losses either, I just have no idea what the hell they'd do in the draft. Even if there was a logical pick. QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jul 4, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) Anxiously awaiting getting some of this dead weight off our team. I want Dewon "Had a Bad" Day back! Can't get any worse.

Is it just me, or does this game feel like the longest of the season?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 4, 2007 -> 06:11 PM) Dear God, Andy Gonzalez sucks. GUYZ, AMIRITE?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 4, 2007 -> 01:10 AM) Are you volunteering your services there Ian? If I need to be the bad guy and fire Gage I will. If the question is would I host the show, no comment on that. Direct all questions to mah agent.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 11:12 PM) No clue...all I know is that they have very little in terms of prospects. I suspected that. Odd then.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 11:08 PM) Just another day of public relations spin. Buehrle and his agent have made themselves look great in this, and now they're putting all the pressure on the Sox to either cave in and give the NTC, or they'll look absolutely horrible in the Chicago media and to the fans. What do you make of Philly scouts at the game? Who do you think they are looking at?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 10:55 PM) Randy Wolf got his ass handed to him today by the Braves. So your daily Buehrle/Contreras possible suitor update: Randy Wolf (LAD): 3 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 1 K Jason Vargas (NYM): 3.1 IP, 11 H, 9 ER, 2 BB, 2 K Wellemeyer (STL): 3 IP, 7H, 4 ER(6R), 1 BB, 0 K Feierabend (SEA): 1.1 IP, 8 H, 10 ER, 2 BB, 0 It's a great night on the trade front. Seems that way, lets see how KW comes out.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 10:49 PM) I want to listen to this, but I'm at home for the week. So I'm not on long enough to hear it in a sitting. I'll be trying to check this one out on Saturday, even if something happens in the next couple days to make the show dated. I'll hang up and wait for my answer then.

430 views and only a few posts... Gager you might be in danger of getting the ax if the ratings don't improve

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 09:25 PM) $24 at Best Buy Npt bad at all for 21 Ladder Matches Really, I didnt really seemed to be bothered by the blurring on the Wrestlemania Anthology Depends on the match, but some are really bad.

I haven't seen much of the game, but Javy is awesome.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 3, 2007 -> 09:20 PM) What a bout a DVD with all the War Games matches? Granted, there were only like 8, but you can add Elimination Chamber matches and Hell in a Cell. There we're a hell of a lot more than that, not all of them we're PPV types though. The Ladder Match DVD is pretty good, the blurring on the WWF logo is still bad. Grisham hosts the set and he comes off as horrible.

4 damn hits for Gonzalez? Since Cheat isn't here yet...RICHAR~!

OK. I've listened to the show. 1) Kobe isn't going to win 7 rings with the Bulls. 2) Mark can go, Mark can stay, don't matter to me. I was actually getting more upset while Jason was ranting more than anything. 3) I loved the bit about Jason making names not botching them or whatever it was, that made me laugh, 4) Mario needs to be the bad cop and tell the Gager to not curse on the air. 5) I'd like to hear more minor league stuff, I don't follow it as much as others do. Maybe that's more for when Heads or Dan are on. Wait, I'll be damned if I listen to Heads for an hour and 15 minutes. That's more than anyone needs. Overall, it was another fun show to hear. Can't wait till the FIRE SALE~!~!~! comes and we get some ranting and raving. Grease, and DBAHO, please chime in on this when you hear it as well.

Unless they shorten the season, a big hell no to this idea.

Holy s***. We're gonna have another labor situation.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) KW you are a effing moron. When a pitcher is willing to sign with you for below market value, just give him the damn no trade clause. My god, your arrogrance is way too over the top. And it ain't like we are going to be building a championship team anytime soon. So why does it matter if Mark is on the team? Because he's a fan favorite?
