That sounds right to me so far GM.

[Trojan Pony]

I think we can take the question mark off Looper, remove Colome, single out Borowski for the Cubs, and put up Lyon for the BoSox with a ? (and remove Embree obviously). Anyone disagree?

thats for clearing that up (i mean copy and pasting the above post)


just kidding, how long do we think Biddle will stay the closer? Man that guy sucks.

[Trojan Pony]

that's better.


*personal thought: Wow, the Red Sox situation is B-A-D...*

[bman]

yeah...dont you just hate it when your team wins 6 straight and is scoring 7 runs a game???

[ramble2]

Any of you East Coast folks have any heads up on the Mets closer situation?
