Any predictions?



My beloved Cardinals of course!



Congrats! I must admit, the better team won. But, enjoy this year.
Next year, we will be in your place. :-)


Oh and kick the Sox's ass whilst yore at it. :)

hey now. lets go sox. i want to see that monkey off their backs.


They went on my **** list after the Manny Ramirez deal...baseball
needs a salary cap like the NFL has.

through the course of history all teams have made crap decisions
regarding players. sox are no different.

Yep, they tried to dump his bloated salary..no takers.

there is a sort of cap in mlb
where the owners pay a luxury tax over a certain dollar amount in
yearly salaries. george could give a crap about the tax as he has his
ship yards and if that goes belly up then all he has to do is cry to
the federal govt and they'll bail him out.


Soft cap doesn't work if it doesn't stop Stienspender from running
his payroll over $200 million. How much will he give Carlos Beltran
now?

Consensus here is that Drayton Mclane BETTER keep Beltran here, even if
he has to sell his kids and wife! :-) Really though, if the Astros let
him leave, Mclane deserves to be run out of town like we did to the
Oilers and their fat, pompous owner and that toupee that ate his head.

I thought the same thing when Manny Ramirez was here, the Tribe offered
him $120 million and Boston out bid them...rediculous!

Good luck, Beltran is the real deal.

Be honest now.....the oilers are gone because they truly stunk! No winning =
no fan base.

Not really, the fans did like the team, but the owner was too pig headed to
realize that.

Brings back memories of Bidwell and the Cards. I became a die hard Chiefs
fan. Unfortunately they are dwelling the cellar this year :(

Hey Randy, did you sign the petition yet? Sounds like Beltran is looking
to cash in big time. $200 million is the figure that's rumored.

Here's the petition:
