All I have to say is... WAR, WHOOOOOO. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? Absolutely NOTHING! kthx <3

Ok.

Thoughts on Youk in Chicago?

My best wishes go out to Youk, he had a good 8 year run here in Boston.

I agree with what Flex said about Middlebrooks being the catalyst for the Sox turning the season around btw.

Also, Tony La Russa is the most overrated manager in history. He sucks. He tried so hard to blow that WS for the Cardinals. Only, he got outdone by the great Ron Washington. He got in a cry baby fight with Rasmus and muscled him outta St. Louis. Prima donna.

Also, is it too late to join the Trout-Middlebrooks debate? Don't want to beat a dead horse but I'll throw out plenty of stats and won't use WAR, which I agree is overused.

Also, WAR is pronounced like it rhymes with car or bar

sorry double post.

No need for the stats. Trout >

It takes less than a minute of comparing them to realize this. Oh Trout leading the AL in steals. I see. Small sample size though.

Here's a better comparison. Lawrie vs Middlebrooks.

No matter how Rasmus was traded, we became a better team afterwards. Jon Jay has played excellent since the Rasmus trade and Colby hasnt really caught fire till now. I liked Colby till I found out about the whole La Russa fight. I was kind of confused when he got traded. Was one of my favorite players at the time. Seen him rise through the minors. I live in the Springfield area so I see some Cardinal AA games. Have seen Craig, Rasmus and Adams play there. Pretty cool.

What was this LaRussa/Rasmus fight about?

The trading has begun. It will be sooner than later that Dempster, Garza, and possibly LaHair, Barney, and (Heaven please) Soriano will be traded too. Rizzo possibly coming up Tuesday.

Honestly, love what Theo has done so far. Cub fans are fucking impatient though, but how can you blame them?
