Another day another ....
Will someone wake our Sox' illustrious
&^$%^$%^ general manager up from
his hibernating snooze ... trades are
actually being made. We couldn't use
Haren, right? Funny, two former Sox
minor leaguers were in the trade. On
the other hand, Williams doesn't know
how to negotiate a trade.
The sad part is that you are either a
contender or you are league fodder ...
if you're fodder (we now are) then you
might as well be the Marlins with a $10
million payroll ... why would you want
to be fodder and a proud owner of a
$100+ million payroll. He should be
fired ... although it is too late, as he has
run the franchise into the ground.
1) With Garland probably becoming a repeat of the Buehrle situation ... he
was going to be traded ... but it should
not have been for a SS. He should
have brought back much more ... even
if it was prospects.
2) Crede (again, due to contract situation) should be traded for prospects.
3) Konerko should be traded for prospects.
Angels, Dodgers, D-Backs, etc have
a surplus of top prospects ... if 7/8 prospects were acquired, they could have improved our roster and/or even been included with some of our prospects in other moves to improve the ballclub. But we have Kenny
Williams the clueless wonder. How does such an incompetant individual
retain his job? Oh, that's right, he's
still painting a picture ... in reality the
only picture he's painting is on toilet
paper. Enough said

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Leo

You're really on the ball today so there's no danger of anyone tricking you or fobbing you off with lame excuses. If you suspect that a loved one is hiding something from you, you'll want to question them in a lot of detail. That's all very well but try not to turn it into the third degree, nor to make them feel hounded or bullied by your desire to know what's going on.
