Every (top notch) FA is bought up and sent to the AL

and kept out of the NL West.

I think I’m down to worrying about Manny. That’s not too bad at all.

Nah

Peavy would get rocked in Coors. He’s more dinger-prone than his numbers suggest, thanks to PetCo.

Personally

I’d like Manny.

problem is

if we brought in Manny, we HAVE to put Carlos Gonzalez in CF for the defensive benefit. Him or Cory Sullivan. The additional downside is that Spilborghs becomes a 4th OF AGAIN

Dear Santa,

I want a freaking World Series title for my team in purple.

Is it 2009 yet? Seriously?........Now? no......How about now?

I'd buy....

the ownership 50,000 more of those Santa blowup dolls so they have something to fill the seats come August.

Be careful

what you ask for. The age of the hyperpower NY Yankees is over, not replaced by a bi- or multi-polar world but by an apolar world. Scary, that may be.

Yeah,

though I was alluding more to stuff Niall Feguson has written, with whom I have problems (had to read him recently).

Any of you guys

Ever check out Pujols’ wikipedia entry? I guess there are always factual concerns with wikipedia but this quote is interesting

“Few big league teams were very interested in Pujols. A Colorado Rockies scout reported favorably about the young hitter, but the club took no action. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays arranged a tryout for Pujols, but it went poorly (after the team did not draft him, the scout who had found Pujols resigned).”

I’d take Pujols for Christmas – this also plays nicely into my request that the Rockies invest any slack resources into a time machine…

by Resolution on Dec 24, 2008 10:36 AM MST reply actions  

Oh

and here’s the link to Pujols’ wiki page, should have included it. Be forewarned – there is nothing else Rockies-relevant on the page though.

by Resolution on Dec 24, 2008 10:37 AM MST up reply actions  

This is a better wiki entry

from the Sports Argument Stadium wiki

I've heard that as well

…from ESPN or FSN or somewhere.

I believe the Cards actually fired the scout that got them Pujols last year.

My Xmas wish

would be for the Monforts to sell to Kroneke. I think I will be disappointed again though.

by PinchHitLancePainter on Dec 24, 2008 10:39 AM MST reply actions  

I'd settle for

Mark Cuban. He’s trying to buy a baseball team.

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 24, 2008 7:15 PM MST up reply actions  

Christmas wish

That the Rockies had available for spending 1/10 of the money the Yankees spent during the last 2 weeks.

by 61 on Dec 24, 2008 10:46 AM MST reply actions  

Seriously

Eff the Yankees. Every time you think they can’t annoy you more, they do.

Blast and botheration.

Dear Santa

Please turn Clint Hurdle into a good manager.

Of all the wishes to Santa on this thread

and it’s THIS one that makes me go…..Not even Santa can do that!

At the risk

of being a bit sappy, I got my Christmas present a few days early…on Dec. 21, my beautiful daugher and future super-Rockies fan Julia was born. Happy holidays to all!

Also, how can you be worried about sounding sappy when you just had a daughter?

by onholliday on Dec 24, 2008 1:07 PM MST up reply actions  

very true

approx 96% of the things I’ve said in the past 3 days have been hopelessly sappy and I’m loving it…

My Wish

is for the Rockies to be turned into the baseball version of the Packers: community-owned.

by onholliday on Dec 24, 2008 1:11 PM MST reply actions  

My real wish, Rockies related.

Kevin Youkilis.

He’s not going into contract extension talks until the 2009 season starts. I just want him on the Rockies.

by roxintober on Dec 24, 2008 1:45 PM MST reply actions  

My fellow Aztec...

Stephen Strasburg with Jon Garland as a placeholder’d do nicely for me.

by Since1993 on Dec 24, 2008 2:09 PM MST reply actions  

All I Want for Christmas

Is 88-90 wins in 2009, All-Star nods for CDI and Tulo, and many, many less RLISP this coming season. Not too much to ask is it?

Oh, and a national championship for Psyco T.
