They are having a go at Charles again.

look.. He’s got feelings as well, he’s been called big ears and everything and he still talks to his plants and has a smile for everyone. If only you knew how upset his mam gets when people call him jug ears, and she’s not beheaded anyone. It’s not his fault he looks like the FA Cup.

most of the comedians and comedies that I really like

I doubt you will have heard of, excepting Blackadder which I love. It’s a myth that we are all big python fans, their tv stuff is poor I think. Hancock is ok, Steptoe and Son which is checked in the article is excellent, a disgusting (in a good way) comedy.

remember last year?

People wanted us to sign Andruw Jones, Torii Hunter or other over-the-hill, overpriced FA’s. Just what we need— to get old, slow and more expensive? I don’t think so.

KW has shown some smarts— who thought Quentin and Ramirez would do what they did last year? The Danks for McCarthy deal has looked pretty good, so has Floyd for Garcia.

Far be it for me to tell other fans what to get bent out of shape about— it’s your life, go for it. It’s your right as a fan.

But look around the majors, the teams at the top are doing a lot of it with young, hungry, pre-FA talent.

The Sox are trying to retool on the fly, and are doing a pretty good job. A year ago, nobody on this board thought the Sox would take the division last year. They just ran out of gas.

I’m content, though I think adding an experienced pitcher might happen if the young guys get thumped in spring training. You don’t want young guys getting pounded and messing up their confidence.

I’m more fascinated about how it seems that just about all MLB teams are holding off on signing mid-level FA’s this season. This will either drive the prices down or cause a rush once spring training begins. Everybody seems to be thinking their young guys are at least comparable to the mid-level FA’s out there.

I too am buying KW's position this off-season.....

the Sox are keeping the current/future core and starting to slowly rebuild the minor league system with some actual talent……I just hope that the continued downward payroll number (even more so after 2009 with Dotel, Contreras, Dye, Thome off books) is brought back up with long-term deals for Danks and Quentin, and KW spends some cash to fill in holes when needed……assuming there is no trade of Dye the smartest avenue for KW to spend some $$$$ now appears to be for a veteran 4th/5th starter…..though I am shaky on 2B/CF/3B……..just not sure if there is anyone out there for those positions that I’d want…..unless the ODOG truly becomes available on a 1-year deal.

There was a link to a chart on this board a few months ago

which showed that most of the playoff teams were some of the oldest teams in MLB. The Rays may have been young, but playoff teams paid for older talent.

Anyone still have that link?

With this new economy

May need to adjust the free agency system. For guys like OCab who are not getting a job b/c of their Type A Status, possibly a system where for example the White Sox pay the equivilant price of a draft pick (I think I read someone estimated a first rd. pick is worth 3 million?) to whatever team takes him if we want their draft pick. Would require quite a bit more complexity than that, but it gets my idea across at least.

by Grinder in Training on Jan 14, 2009 9:05 AM CST reply actions 0 recs

I heard Ocab wears jeans whenever he meets with GMs

And his shirt untucked, of course. Then he gets turned down (but offered a job on the grounds crew).

Is it wise to give a 2 year contract to an organist who’ll be 61 when the season starts? One who’s lost at least an octave of range to the left or right? I suppose the veteran presence would be desirable if you think the Sox have a chance at the playoffs again, but that second year seems like too big a risk in this economy.

DEAR ABBY: I am a female who is “over 21.” I have always been a tomboy. I love to wrestle with my 200-pound boyfriend. Our struggles are vigorous, but never violent, and always end with a kiss or more.

My friends are horrified. They say I could be injured and that any man who would physically “fight” a woman is a potential wife-beater or worse.

So many people have warned me to “watch out” that now I’m beginning to wonder. To me, it’s a good way to have fun and burn off calories. What’s your take on this, Abby? — LOVES TO TUSSLE IN GEORGIA

DEAR LOVES TO TUSSLE: If you are the one initiating these “fights,” then I doubt that your boyfriend is a potential wife-beater or worse. (If it were the other way around, I might be concerned.) What you have described sounds more like foreplay than abuse. As long as you both enjoy it and no one becomes injured, what the two of you do is nobody’s business, so keep it private.

Man Accused of Selling Daughter For Cash, Beer, and Meat

Police have arrested a California man for allegedly trying to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat. The police became aware of this shining example of fatherhood after he went to them to complain that the buyer had failed to make payment as promised. He was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking.

It's even in the Code of Hammurabi

dowry (also known as trousseau or tocher) is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings to her new husband.1 Compare bride price, which is paid to the bride’s parents, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage. The same culture may simultaneously practice both dowry and bride price. The dowry is an ancient custom, and its existence may well predate records of it.

Angels in denial

Los Angeles Angels general manager Tony Reagins on Tuesday said his team is not interested in trading for Chicago White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye.
Reagins told the Los Angeles Times for Wednesday’s editions there is “no truth” to a rumor floated by the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday, in which the Angels would acquire Dye. Reagins said he has not spoken with the White Sox since the winter meetings in December, and added the conversation “wasn’t regarding any player.” He also said he is not currently looking for an outfielder.

I was thinking more along the line of Contact/OBP guy vs. Power/Slugger

Bob’s hit 15, 16, and 20 HRs last 3 years (w/ 2.5 of them coming in Lefty Friendly Yankee Stadium).
Jermaine’s hit 44, 28 and 34 (admittedly, in Hitting friendly US Cellular)

I think they would.

I’m just saying that a team w/ good contact/OBP guys in the 1,2 hole might prefer Jermaine to bob due to his power.

Since we have Konerko, Thome in place, Bob would look awfully nice in our 3 slot.

interested earlier?

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday that “the Angels are the latest team to express interest in acquiring Jermaine Dye now that the Mark Teixeira ship has set sail to New York.” Reagins declined to elaborate on the subject, but another major league source not authorized to discuss trade talks publicly said the Angels did express interest in Dye last month—before they filled an outfield vacancy by re-signing Juan Rivera on Dec. 19. Teixeira agreed to terms with the Yankees on Dec. 23.
