Q & A with MacPhail

[Sonny76]

Belkast, Bigbird...have you guys heard about the same front office move I heard today???

[Hank Scorpio]

Keeps gettin' better tonight, lol...

Hey Sonny, I closed down Kclinger's last night. Today was difficult.

It's very interesting that McPhail says the O's are going to be a pitching organization and most of the talk is about trading Bedard, Penn and Liz and acquiring Bay.

I think we have to check our reading comprehension.

Damn, this might be a busy week for the Hangout...lol

Let the next guessing game commence. Flanagan will be put in charge of program and souvenir sales during home games. On Sundays, he takes the place of the shaky lemonade guy.

I already did; read this. I thought you would find it easier not to be peppered with questions, but I guess I was wrong. Carry on.

Im messing with you T. Things will pick up. Trust me.

Thank god.... work is painfully slow.

Thank god.... work is painfully slow.

And even if work was busy, would it really matter?

Touche!!!!!!!!!

Man I love this place. Thanks to all the insiders and posters that keep me in the know. Great wealth of knowledge to be had from this site. One of the best websites I have been around.

Oh dear, the last time Sonny76 posted something about the 08 budget he asked for guesses..... the figure he heard was never posted. He plays with the OH's minds

You are right. I must be mixing threads. I fixed it. Same point though.

The figure I heard a couple weeks ago impressed me. But Andy doesn't want to show his hand. Based on what I heard...money isn't an issue. And after a decade of suffering...it shouldn't be. As in any business...to be successful, you gotta spend it to make it. Don't rule anything out....except Arod

Thanks for all the info insiders. Really makes baseball fun even when there is really nothing happening.

Let the predictions begin, here is what I will go with:

Bedard not extended, but is still here OD

Roberts not extended, but is still here OD

Reimold, Penn and Liz for Bay

Tejada for Pie, Cedeno, and Marshall

Hernandez for Heilman

Millar for a strong bullpen arm

We sign a reliever that doesnt cost us a pick, and sign a one year deal for a catcher that also costs no picks.

Sound like something that could happen?
