While wins and loses in pre season are very overrated, they do play hard, easing up is actually an easier way to get injured. At least that is what players have said through the years. If your half assing it and the next guy is balls out trying to earn a roster spot, you stand a chance to get injured. So you play em hard.

Rex But I can dream . . .

It's nice that it will almost be impossible to screw this draft up.

Every player the Sox signs is a gamble. Funny, don't sign Hunter, too old at the end of the contract. Rowand will turn to crap. You are probably one of those guys who want to sign Fukudome, because you've never seen him and anyone you have seen will/is crap.

Looking at what other CFers are getting, that isn't overpaying and there is a significant chance he would look pretty damn cheap in 2-3 years.

my ex-wife I'm surprised Mike hasn't had his shot sooner.

I found the place via soxtalk also, but with so little traffic I forget to stop by. Sounds like this may get interesting. I've closer to retirement age than High School. Was lucky enough to attend a lot of games in the mid 80s, unlucky enough to attend a lot of games between the early 70s and today. Live in the United States most of the time. Have ex's here and there. Take on a different name on each board and sometimes get confused.

Is that meant as an insult?

Next thing you know we'll have Cub fans on Soxtalk.

Hire people with bad character and you have to live with the consequences. I could understand the judge's decision if he decided to not allow the out of state travel. Having said that, almost any other defendant would be allowed to leave the state for his job. After all one of the goals of our criminal justice system is to rehabilitate the criminal. Also, factoring into the decision is politics and if he wants to be reelected, he'd better allow the travel. Sad, when politics factors into a judge's decision.

My wife moved my son's baptism so it wouldn't conflict with a Bulls Championship game.

Thank God, Manning is terrible covering a RB out of the backfield

Kind of how I feel about the Cowboys, Spurs, and Astros. A distant second to the Bears, Bulls, and Sox. Any mixed feelings will disappear once they kickoff.

dem's fighting words son . . . no go colts smiley on this site.

I was about to point out a certain linebacker on the other side of the ball and decided you are probably correct.
