Burtonbell

I wandered into my local LIDS store to check out this hat. I love the way it feels! Its so light! But I hate the way it looks. Some of the hat designs out now a days look putrid. Like stated above, nothing beats my old 5950 hats.

Its good to see DLee without a cast!

Mattingly! Cut those side burns! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/Burtonbells/untitled.jpg

Gotta love the kid with the grit and determination!

So basically what I have read so far is that outside of Tampa's scouting department all the other "experts" (such as BA and Rotoworld) think this trade stinks? IMO, Ryu never had a chance in the rotation. This Lopez kid looks decent. Where will these kids be playing? A-ball?

LMAO! :lol: Get the deal done now JIM!

What the heck happened to Benson? Any word on his injury? Severity?

:pukel: :pukel: :pukel: :pukel: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: Gee...this sounds familiar. Good thing i've always penciled this staff together w/o counting on him...man this is frustrating. I hope Carroll is wrong again. And I'm wondering...how can the be "going well" but Prior not be "throwing with confidence?" I think maybe a chill pill is in order. He's been injured the past couple years, of course his confidence isnt going to be sky-high at first. Its still January, he has another 2 months and nobody has said anything about him not being completely healthy. This isnt anything to panic about. True, but it's understandable to be on edge when it comes to new about Prior. I second the curiosity over what Carroll said...if he's pitching without confidence, how is anything really going well? Is he looking good when he pitches, but maybe he's unwilling or unable to pitch as much as he should/needs to? He could just be throwing fastballs, and not wanting to through the offspeed stuff just in case. He may be hesitant to "dial it up" for fear of injury. Prior could just be overreacting about his past injuries and he really wants to be 100% when the season starts. We dont know until spring training starts. Until then, I am taking any news with a grain of salt.

What did you do? Damn you vince_the_cubs_fan!

The ESPN article that was posted a few pages back has been updated to include some of the incentives: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2738583 17.5 for 2 years! :shock: Good thing the provisions to make that happen are a very long shot!

Just an update for those interested. Looks like Uribe may sit out the season: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070105/ap_on_sp_ba_ne/bba_white_sox_uribe

Red Flag Time!

Well, I kind of expected that.

Yeah, why? Isnt Jessica Alba 25??? :shock:

Now the Sun Times is saying the police won't comment on if its Tank's house or not... http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/173548,tank-121406.article

Can Devin play DT?

#-o ](*,) :getyou: :twak: If this is true, what an idiot!

Where are you getting this info?

WOW! This is where I hate speculation. Chances are it was something that was misinformed and nothing will come of it.

Agreed 100%. No more "I'll get to that diet later..." "I'll eat better tomorrow..." I pray he's going to be smart, relax, and take some time off.

LMAO! How many threads this winter will Modzilla be in? I still think the Sox got ripped off, unless they pull off another trade.
