how bout this one... Yankees Get: OF Enc Marlins Get: OF Gary Sheffield 3B A-Rod P Mussina SS Jeter and Joe Torre to manage at AAA. ? 849760[/snapback] Ok that was a dumb reply. I threw out an actual trade idea out there, no need to be all smartallecky. 849807[/snapback] It's an actual trade idea if you work for EA Sports. 849917[/snapback] it's easy to do in MVP Baseball, they always take highly rated specs..

put it in homestead.

The LA Trade with LoDuca,Mota, and Enc for Choi and Penny is one of the better trades... 849929[/snapback] If you think about it... LoDuca is hitting .288 Enc is hitting .287 Mota is 1-2 - 4.68 Choi is hitting .237 Penny is 5-5 - 3.43 I'd say we got the better end of the deal.

and I thought the return of Leiter was gonna be a GOOD thing... be better off signing Marino to pitch...

Well... none i believe, however they are still pretty high.. not that I'm going there, but I find it a little odd that I was accepted to the University of Tennessee - Knoxville but I couldn't get into Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers. my guess is that school admissions have gone the way of living expenses in Florida, wayyy up. 841020[/snapback] FGCU is not a small school anymore and they give preference to local grads. 847653[/snapback] I grad. Highschool in Tampa, shortly after lived 2 years in Ft. Myers.

am i the only one that misses Dempster ?

it was a joke, keep in mind, i said to put it in Key West earlier...

Put the Stadium in the glades in Collier Co. near the borders of Hendry and Broward, open up the fanbase further west to Ft. Myers/Naples.

Wouldn't you rather to go to Tennesse than Golf Coast though? It's a much better school. :whistle Well, while UT might be a bit better school, I'd still have preferred to go to a school in Florida, where I'm from, I was accepted to St. Thomas University and the University of Tampa, but the tuition at those schools are so high. but yeah, Florida has so many people trying to go to school here, it's hard.. the funny thing is that im in the freshman class at TSU in Nashville and have already met 20 other Floridians that are at TSU due to not being able to get into a FL College.

If the Devil Rays have more all stars than the Indians, that's just a problem. And the Tigers too for that matter. But on that list Crawford does look pretty attractive... 839184[/snapback] The Rays have several All-Star worthy players, don't blame ownership's short comings and the teams losing which is a direct result of the ownership but anyways, dont blame all of that on the individual players. Crawford, Cantu, and Baez are all good enough to go, Kazmir has pretty good numbers too for a Rookie Pitcher in Tampa..

McNair a year removed from MVP, has dropped to 13th ? i think not.

Sorry, but no... Cris Carter, Jake Reed, Randy Moss is probably a better combo, Vikings circa 1998.

I got the same letter with a few words changed around a year ago about admissions standards in Florida Colleges, due to standards in the Florida State University Chain, I'm attending school in Tennessee. 840503[/snapback] What kind of changes were made to the admissions standards? 840542[/snapback] Well... none i believe, however they are still pretty high.. not that I'm going there, but I find it a little odd that I was accepted to the University of Tennessee - Knoxville but I couldn't get into Gulf Coast University in Ft.

Anyone who was a Marlins fan in their innaugural season has to (well, they really don't? have to) vote for the greatest reliever in Marlins history, Bryan Harvey. Keep this in mind, of 64 wins that season Harvey saved 54 of them. An almost unbelievable effort ! 813533[/snapback] I've always considered a Hall of Fame to involve more than one season. That's why I think Gary Sheffield is the only player worthy of entrance (to a lesser extent, Brad Penny). Sure, people like Bonilla, Alou, and Harvey and awesome single seasons and should be praised for that, but I don't think that's quite worthy of the Hall of Fame. 813691[/snapback] It's hard to NOT single in on a single season with a team with a 10 year history...

i put livan, and who picked vladimir nunez? :mischief2? :mischief2? :mischief2 813425[/snapback] Vlad Nunez did have some strong years....who picked Devon White???? 813455[/snapback] who picked Eric Owens and Andre Dawson ?

I voted for Livan !

I grew up there. It's not The OC but its definitely not a slum. It's a nice albeit low-income neighborhood with plenty of personality. 811478[/snapback] Exactly, but people comment without ever being there. It is safer at night than Opa Locka is and alot more convenient to the taxpayers of Dade County who will put the money up for it. 2,000 parking spaces in the new parking garage, Park and Ride from other locations such as Tamiami Park (plenty of parking there in Westchester), Golden Glades (plenty of parking very close to Dolphins Stadium), or Downtown (plenty of parking garages) is a big possibility. Parking and Bus fare are packaged together and you get round-trip from your car to the park. When you have 81 home games, you will see an efficient system developed and it will not be chaos. Of course that doesn't even count in the private parking in the areas around the stadium. BTW, the 2005 Weekend Park and Ride is up: http://www.marlinbaseball.com/forums/index...showtopic=44580 811497[/snapback] i wish i spoke better spanish....

Lou knows talent... his teams in the late 80's early 90's in Cincinnati were good and his teams in Seattle were great. I don't believe that Upton and Gaithright are ready for the show, Lou had to demote one of his better pitchers ( Seth McClung ) to Durham because he hasn't come around from his injury. Lou makes strange moves from time to time but prior to signing on in Tampa, he's been a winner since the 80's.

Lou isn't an idiot, and he doesn't " suck " Lou is in a bad situation where the ownership ( naimoli ) refuses to spend money on the team. He's got the leagues lowest payroll, somewhere around $28M I believe, and he is forced to go with washed up Vets or raw, raw rookies. each year the Rays lose their best players and trade their hitters for pitching prospects that never pan out. You can only improve a team so much without money and an ownership group that cares about winning more than the bottom line. If Naimoli left Tampa, they would be a winning club within 3 years. 812211[/snapback] your joking right...the rays a winning club please...... 812213[/snapback] if they had an owner that was willing to spend money, yes.

i think the dogers would give ganye uup for a good bat, maybe a combo to get him? 812209[/snapback] send Encarnacion back to L.A. ! :mischief2

GET ME LIDGE!!!! I'd like to see a long-term dependable closer...For years, when you play the Padres you know Trevor Hoffman is coming if you don't score enough by the 9th inning. Braves for years, you had the threat of Smoltz and again you had to score runs or face him. I'd like to have an identifiable closer for years that other teams know THEY will face if they don't score enough runs. Wanna see other teams' fans go: "Damn, we gotta score in the 8th or we're getting ?????????? - game over!" 811406[/snapback] I think the Dodgers are willing to give up Gagne...
