That to me makes a whole lot more sense. Same is true for the Dodgers, who could deal any combination of Loney, Andy LaRoche, or maybe even Clayton Kershaw/Chad Billingsley. No doubt the Rangers would want a potential ace in the making for Teixeira. <BR/><BR/>Another deal to watch out for would be the Yankees, who could probably put together a package not including Phil Hughes that would get the deal done. <BR/><BR/>I see the Red Sox as in discussions, but won't pull the trigger.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-80912777250719471182007-07-25T13:37:00.000-04:002007-07-25T13:37:00.000-04:00This is the first year in a while where Ihave thou...This is the first year in a while where Ihave thought the gators might be unstoppable or they might stink up the joint.

I'm definitely not sold that it's a done deal for Zambrano to the Cubs.

"Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers." "I bent my Wookie." "My cat's breath smells like Cat Food." "Me fail English, that's unpossible." "Oh boy, sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!"

NFL took care of the camp, but they are probably waiting to suspend to see if they can push the suspension - they are also probably waiting to see the plea that vick is going to give at his hearing - a plea deal with the gov't would give the falcons room to cancel the contract. They are slow playing the situation to ensure that they don't do anything rash and take a financial hit...they are not going to let him play unless/until he comes back with an innocent verdict.ndyanksfan05https://www.blogger.com/profile/17049529004061030914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-23628651483259890012007-07-25T12:24:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:24:00.000-04:00Switch between EEI and Mike & Mike on ESPN 890Dale...Switch between EEI and Mike & Mike on ESPN 890<BR/><BR/>Dale & Holley<BR/><BR/>Switch between EEI and Felger on ESPN 890<BR/><BR/>As CM Frost said, avoidance of commericials is the goal...Smalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03450142318248094481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-68984611227908357642007-07-25T12:20:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:20:00.000-04:00To the person who was insisting on disagreeing wit...To the person who was insisting on disagreeing with Dan about the Falcons ability to suspend Vick, please stand up, and apologize.<BR/><BR/>You know who you are.

Zambrano will stay in Cubbie Blue. <BR/><BR/>The only reason he hasn't been signed already is because of the pending ownership deal. But the main contenders are Mark Cuban and Jerry Colangelo and neither of them will let Zambrano get away. Cuban will be willing to spend the money just because he'll have it and Colangelo is from Chicago and loves the Cubs so he'll do it for the talent. <BR/><BR/>Zambrano will NOT be a Red Sock next year, guarenteed.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02827851943831518318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-66904230602338039942007-07-25T12:07:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:07:00.000-04:00Caple on the Simpsons: Homer at the BatCaple on the Simpsons: <A HREF="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/070725" REL="nofollow"> Homer at the Bat</A>SAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258964238232237321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-59900192107302355802007-07-25T11:54:00.000-04:002007-07-25T11:54:00.000-04:00UF only scored 30 points TWICE last year?!?!
