Yesterday was fucking bullshit. There is no excuse for the Braves losing that. God I feel empty right now . Fuck the Astros, the Cards will rip them a new one. Cardinals/White Sox baby.

not making a thread about it.
Nomar as back in Boston, in his condo with his uncle, and heard a woman fall in the water and scream, they looked out and her friend fell in. Uncle went running down to help and when he got out there, nomar was already in the water holding onto both girls. They were drunk. Once out of the water, (one hit her head on the dock and was kinda out of it) nomar asked if she was ok she said "are you Nomar" and he said something like "I think you really hit your head". good story, gonna be interesting what he does in the offseason, another 1yr deal to prove he can stay healthy? (missed all that time and still out hit Reteria) |

Just heard on the radio, Oakland has asked permission to talk to Orel Hershiser about becoming the new manager.

Ugh, I'm so sick of all these topics on the Mets message board, my friends, and even the local radio talking about how the Mets have no chance at getting Manny in the off-season without giving up Lastings Milledge....I've even heard "Omar Minaya is a genius if he can get Manny without losing Milledge"
If Milledge is involved in this trade then Omar is just as big a dope as the past G.M.'s the Mets have had...Now the reasons...again: 1) The Boston Red Sox and Manny want to part ways. 2) At the begining of last season the Soxs put Manny out there for NOTHING to dump his salary. Nobody took him. 3) There is only ONE..ONE...ONE team that will and can take on his salary the M-E-T-S Mets Mets Mets.. who the hell else will do this, Boston won't work with the Yankees, the only other team. 4) Boston is going to be totally restructered during the off season and the P.R. hit of dumping Manny will not be as bad after losing so quickly in the NLDS. If the Sox won the World Series again then the P.R. of getting rid of Manny in the off season would be more difficult. 5) Omar was brought in to make deals like this without giving up the Mets' future. The Red Sox can ask all they want about Milledge but Omar can just say "screw you" for the above reasons...especially #3...so now what do they do... they take whatever Omar offers as long as it doesn't make the Boston front office lose face. ---- Am I the only person that realizes this? |

I'm only ok with the Sox dealing Manny if they use his money on other talent, I've heard BJ Ryan is a FA? I thought maybe Konerko?
Dunno though, but every year goes by, Manny will cost more in a trade, because the Sox won't be dumping salary if there's just say 1-2yrs left, like they would with 5-6. |

The Twins are apparently interested in Konerko, but I think most likely chances are he stays in CHW.
Some other Twins notes to catch you guys up...ESPN Insider has a rumor that the Twins are going to trade Justin Morneau for Corey Koskie. There can't be a more rediculous rumor in the history of rumors. I can see the Twins wanting to get Corey back, but there is no way they trade a 24 year old offensive phenom. Before he hit his sophomore slump this year he was the best first baseman in the AL. Albiet it only lasted a month. The other thing, the pressure is on for Pohlad to spend some money this year. The payroll might be able to get up to 50 million! Anyway, the guys the Trib wants are Mueller and Konerko. I don't know for either. Soriano would be amazing, Stewart-Mauer-Soriano-Morneau-Hunter, maybe find a way to bring Koskie back as well. JJ is gone, pretty much, probably to the Royals or Padres, thats OK though, either Ford or Kubel will be able to step in. One name that I haven't heard much of is Jim Thome. Isn't he a FA? He was interested in the Twins before signing with Philly, we just couldn't pay him. He is pretty much what the Twins are looking for, a good DH, but I dunno. I still stand strong that we should have found a way to somehow make a deal for Griffey at the deadline. We needed a center fielder and we needed a power hitter, give up something Terry Ryan! Anyway, thats all. |

So, BCWWF... what's NYY or BOS going to end up dealing for Hunter?
Side note: They're reporting that Philly is putting a full press on for Brian Cashman. If that happens, Theo's contract is up, think George goes after Theo if for no other reason to mess with Lucchino? |

Hunter is by far the man, the face of the Twins, and I really hope that they don't trade him. Of course, with Damon and Bernie's situation, the two suitable teams are automatically Boston and New York, I see New York as a more legit candidate for some reason.
Anyway, the only thing that New York could offer us is Robinson Cano, but even if they did offer us that, Cano is not worth Hunter straight up, not even close. What Hunter does in centerfield and in the clubhouse is worth more then that. From what I've read, New York's package would include like that Bubba guy. Are you kididng me? Trade the face of the Twins for the fourth outfielder on the Yankees? We already have a top three starting rotation in the AL, and probably top three bullpen as well. Now we need bats and we need them now. Adding that guy, even if he will eventually be good, doesn't do anything for us. We've got outfield prospects of our own that are probably better. I don't know, the Twins won't trade Hunter and if they do they get hosed. |

Well of course the New York media would make it seem like that. (If you are talking about Hunter that is)

With the regular season over, Yahoo sports rates the following players as the top 10 this year.
Do you agree or disagree? Why? #1) A-Rod #2) Pujohls #3) Derek Lee #4) Ortiz #5) Teixeira #6) Rivera #7) Manny #8) Carpenter #9) Santana #10) Wagner |

Their rankings are based purely on stats, no other factors.

51 homers should help you crack the top 15, no?
An ERA under 2 with 34 starts isn't too shabby either. |

Jason Bay and Soriano were the ranked ahead of Andruw Jones. (#11-#14)
J.Nathan - #12, Dontrelle - #13, Pedro - #15 and Pettitte #20 all ranked higher than the Rocket. |

Well in all fariness to Soriano, he's played pretty good over his entire career. It's not like he never played well anywhere besides Texas.
The thing with Yahoo stats is they are cold. Stats only, cold. |
