I don't ever recall getting the sense that people here believed Jones was 'done'. They just thought he wasn't worth the money. One major difference between the two is that our GM didn't trade one of our best hitters for a below-average leadoff hitter and trumpet it as a smart move. Well, argue about chemistry all you want, but the year after that trade the White Sox won the World Series. If Jim Hendry could make a trade like that, even if for a worse player, would you really argue? It freed up money to get Contreras and OHernandez. Those 2 guys had career years as did Podsednik. What Sox fans are doing in their revisionist history is saying that Podsednik gave them a better chance to win than CLee without bringing up the money savings. Which is just plain stupid. Of course most Sox fans think Erstad is a good player when healthy. It reminds me of a long-running debate I've had with my Sox-loving father-in-law who to this day...and some 550 HR later...he still proclaims that the George Bell for Sammy trade was worthwhile because the Sox were in a playoff push. Of course, a number of 40+ HR seasons would have possibly helped the Sox win more division titles throughout the 90s. Sosa was probably immediately more valuable. And he was certainly a better player in '93. What an amazing trade. By Larry Himes...

I made a joke about LaRussa doing this. Any manager who would actually do this would be an idiot. -

Isn't DeRosa in RF? I don't understand why you wouldn't put Pie in CF and move Jacque to LF. Well you traditionally put your 2nd best range guy in RF, and that's definitely Jacque. Also, Balls of Fury just looks terrible, I think I've mentioned it on here a few times already due to my computer at work not having adblock and seeing the trailer before Superbad, but man it's just awful looking. CUBS WIN!! Can I say you were on in today's game thread. All the way from the ginger posts to the Two and a Half Men hate. I'll be gone from game threads for the next 4 days(maybe around for a half hour tomorrow), had to do all I could tonight.

Pie in LF??? I'm fairly certain DeRosa can handle LF Lou.
-
LaRussa woulda called the 3-1 pitchout to prevent the squeeze. Then we woulda looked dumb.
-
Great bunt and great call!
-
Good eye Good eye Way to watch that ball Way to watch that ball!
-
suicide squeeze plz
-
Isn't that an RBI there? You can't assume the DP, but I would think it's common practice to assume runners moving up a base.
-
We gave them a hit on a DP, they give us one.
-
Thanks Rich!!!
-
That picture's a fake, no way Roast would shave his goatee.
-
Wow, they're pitching to him.
-
Kendall's getting walked.
-
Come on Mike, loop it past them.
-
I HATE bunting a guy to 3rd base. Absolutely despise it. But Mike Fontenot is just brutal against lefties and Kendall makes good contact. So I actually approve. I'll have to turn in my haters card.
-
So Roast in 7 years then?
-
CLIFFY!! Great hustle there, thought he'd be meat.
-
So it's Floyd, Fontenot, Kendall. I think we'll need at least one BB to get a run.
-
Get those olives off my damn sandwich!
-
Remember when Marmol wasn't in our bullpen this year?
-
Don't want to be a Steve Stone here, but high fastball totally gets him here.
-
Put on the sac bunt Bruce!!
