that is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!! cool. its on. what time is the game?

Wait a little while, Farnsworth will be one of the best closers in the league. I said a few years ago, if we ever let him go, he would make us pay more than any other player has. I DONT DOUBT THAT IN ATLANTA

HERE i THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT FARNSY MAZZONE....WHAT CAN YOU SAY THAT HASNT ALREADY BEEN SAID?

I SEE YOU ARE FROM THE DAVENPORT AREA (ILLINOIS SIDE OF THE MIGHTY M)...CARE TO WAGER? :D

do you have relatives w/ alzheimers? thats s#$% is noo fun..... It was the closest example I could think of on how I truly feel. It's first hand, yes. I wouldn't use the analogy otherwise. sorry to hear that. and I think you may be right in your analogy.

do you have relatives w/ alzheimers? thats s#$% is noo fun.....

I can cheer that. GODSPEED TO LEE

well then Seattle would have to get Winn back first, now wouldnt they?? seriously though, why eddie fricken G? If I'm trading away that much youth and potential, its for Ryan, Lidge, or Gange in a bigger package...

I still vote for Grudz the girlfriend. I think that's my favorite as well. The bass one is the most bewildering, but the girlfriend one is the best, since he's used variations on it a few times. I actually understood the bass one.... :shock:

question of the century, well, at least 96 years

question of the century

I think you are giving up WAY too much for Eddie G when I honestly feel Demp could out pitch him in the closer role.. Eddie is like 35 yrs old...Seattle would have to give me Eddie+Winn just to get one of Cpatt or Cendeno

now from the Minor Leagues forum, Guzman is pitching again. how does HE change the 2006 rotation? Prior Z Wood Williams GUZMAN???? Maddux to the pen??? or do we package Williams for a bat w/maddux in the rotation??

Agreed. Nomar coming to 80% of his form would be a terrific boost, but I think Corey is the more important player. He provides power, defense and speed. Nomar would be a boost more to Lee and Aramis' task of driving in runs, wheras if Corey got going, it would be like having 2 leadoff guys in the lineup. if Corey got going i would be a happy happy pappy

o goody goody goody goody goody goody goody

cool. thanks kind sir. a buddy called and says "Dude, we're in the Series!!" I thought they were talking about the Cubs winning today. he was talking about CP. its still kinda cool considering CP is about 4000 people

I'm not so sure. If Patterson gets on a roll, and Pie hits 260/320, we could afford a Murton in LF. Now if for some crazy reason Sing gets a call up and hits the street running, or Huff is delivered to our doorsteps, we could have a very productive and young OF You want Pie, Patterson, and Murton as your OF next year :shock: ? That's got 4th place written all over it. Sorry, but that would be just terrible. A career dead-ender in RF (cory), a young and not ready CF in Pie, and a AAA player in LF in Murton who will come back to earth (even though he really hasn't flown very high in the first place). That's even worse than what we left camp with this year. Please tell me you were just kidding. I'm not. I dont see Patterson as a "career dead-ender", and for Pie, it might be a jump, but I would accept it. Murton is the iffy part, but as I stated, Huff (or perhaps even Floyd via trade) would make a very nice addition. that would make Pie/Patterson 2/3 of our OF, which you seem terrified of. Yes, I am terrified of that. And frankly, you ought to be as well if you wish to see a successful 2006 season... not at all. I guess my outlook is with the free agent class, Giles is the only real legimate choice we have baring a trade. I wouldnt have a problem with a bat like Giles/Huff/Floyd and Pie/Patterson rounding out the OF. I really wouldnt. I think they could produce at bat and in the Field, well, minus Giles in the field

anyone have any ideas where I can get some info on the LLWS games? I guess the town I live in is playing in the playoffs-Circle Pines, MN

what he said

I dont think the man knows how to pitch, much less when and what to pitch, anymore now then if he ever did.

I guess my worry is they might just come damn close, only to fail, which means we will see them next year.....

I expressed this fear in the game thread.
