Should they tear this bitch down?

Trade Dunn, trade Konerko??

Both have value and they desperately need young talent...

I don't think they consider moving Konerko. I think Dunn will be back as well.

I do think they should look to see if they can move Rios, but his contract and up/down years may not make such a move beneficial if they are paying some of his contract or can't land young talent in return.

If I'm JR, I pare down payroll to the minimum. Attendance can only get so much worse.

rpb is wrong. Phil McCracken is useful.

RPB is right. You suck.

When you get down to it Dunn and Konerko have killed this team down the stretch. They just haven't produced the way middle of the order guys have to. Ventura's response to that has been to further cripple the offense with ill-advised strategy.

Viciedo hits a homer every 22 at-bats. Wise hits one every 25 at-bats. But I guarantee he can't hit one when he's bunting. Even if he could bunt like Nellie Fox, it's a bad idea. The fact that he's terrible at it makes it worse. He was lucky not to pop out and then he put himself in an 0-2 count. He isn't the kind of hitter to overcome that consistently. Besides that, what would make you think you could score a guy from second with the weak guys that were coming up? You had the bases loaded twice with no outs and struggled to push one across.

If they don't bring AJ back, I think it's more likely that they go the veteran route with somebody to back up Flowers 2 days a week.

I think if A.J. Pierzynski ends his career right now, he has a bright future in broadcasting. I'm not sure what kind of contract is available for a guy who's not getting any younger at age 35. As for Jose Molina, he has a $1.5 million option with a $300,000 buyout with the Tampa Bay Rays. Kelly Shoppach started this past season with the Boston Red Sox, but got dealt to the New York Mets around the MLB Trade Deadline. He is a free agent after this season.

What does your dad's size have to do with anything?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

13:$12.5M, 14:$12.5M, 15:$13.5M club option ($1M buyout)

He's owed 2yr/$26M. When you look around baseball at what other outfielders are being paid and will be paid this off season Rios contract is pretty reasonable.

If only Earl Weaver could sit down with Robin, and tell him that there is nothing wrong with waiting for them big cocksuckers to hit the fucking ball out of the fucking park.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?
