| Message | First of I have to say that I tried hard to come up with something positive to say about the trade between Harold and Pat, but I can't. Pat got the long hard one on this deal, not only did he spend too much, but then he trades away one of the better contracts for 09 and apperently he instigated the trade. I venture to guess he could of got Lincecum for half of the price he paid if he had not blown his wad right away. Tunnel vision. I am suprememly jealous of Harold on pulling off the Sherif Abdur Rahim of this decade on this pools GM "Phil Riley". On a lighter not, could we just get a pillow and put a leather vest and a cowboy hat on it and call it derksen. Same difference to me. We can all just take turns saying "one good year" and also aggressively bidding non stop on only the players we are interested on. |

| Message | Any thoughts on rule changes for next year? We should get on this soon. I'm saying more bench moves for sure, we need to decide how many, and maybe introducing another keeper perhaps. |

| Message | Like it Pat, who cares about the money anyway, we all spend it on crap at the end of the auction. You and I have been on the Lincecum train from the beginning and I'm glad to see he ended up with a manager who coveted him from day one. I see don has changed his tune about lincecum, I do recall him thinking Gallardo would be way better. Looks like Pat will be trying to recreate his big arms rosters of the past and will fill them out with expensive relievers who will surely get hurt and cheap bats that will piss him off all year long. |

| Message | Did I probably overpay, yes....do I care...NO. I spent all last year loathing my team and so I don't care how much it costs to like my team again, that is what I will pay. Ultimately Longoria probably wasn't going to get signed and although I still like Phillips he was occupying a valuable roster spot. |
