Plus his off season diet seems to be typical of a redneck christmas....I'm not saying he's become the blob or anything...but he'll have some actual "training" to do come spring training...
-
It's not like the Yankees haven't been in that situation before...ironically after just ditching Carl Pavano's contract...
-
It looks more like 5.5 million guaranteed with a chance of getting up to 6.5 million in incentives. The first time I read it I thought that he could get up to 6.5 million WITH incentives...big difference
-
To be honest I think anyone can make a case why a specific team won't win the NCAA tournament. I'm just pessimistic about the Huskies...

Where is the link for the site? Ditto for being handy for those across the pond...

I just don't see Casey criticizing anyone. He's like one of those parents of a little league game that says "It's all right guys, nobody was keeping score, we all had fun...now let's go to Friendly's" I don't think Casey has anything mean to say about anyone...
-
Plus I don't see Bard being the "catcher of the future" that Varitek is supposed to mentor for the next 2 years. Something about that doesn't add up, and I think that Red Sox Nation knows that feeling...
-
Yeah, in a few years I'd be surprised if Chamberlain could pleasure himself without getting a concussion...or at least a splinter or a paper cut or something...
-
Idk, I hope the Yankees do put him as a starter until he Kerry Wood's himself. That'll be one less thing to worry about at the end of the season.

I just hope that Florida doesn't even make the tournament at all...

I'd pick Duke as well. As much as I hate Duke, I've watched UCONN long enough to know that they choke in big situations. Granted, they won in 1999 and 2004, and had arguably the best team in 2006 but lost to Cinderella George Mason (I think in OT). Although UCONN had been hampered by stars leaving in the past, this is one of their better teams, although sometimes they mentally don't play like it. I'll cut them some slack for losing to San Diego in the first round because it was on a buzzer beater, and their star (AJ Price) tore his ACL 4 minutes into the game.

It's not like Abreu's defense is much to speak of as well...

Just for the record, saying "translation" and trying to translate your opponents words into a half-assed dialogue that supports your argument isn't cool. I mean it's one thing to be an online bully and think you're cool by harassing people on an online message board...but saying "translation" and deliberately misreading the other person's responses for effect just isn't cool...it's not kosher dude...

I also figured Joba would benefit from being in the bullpen because it would prevent him from stretching out his innings total too much. Joba by definition is injury prone, and he's dominant enough and he has the stuff to be considered a "franchise player". What I mean is, if the Yankees can hold onto Joba for as long as they can...they will. You'd have slightly different rules for your rent-a-players and your franchise players, and I think that the Yankees need to protect Joba as much as possible. Seeing as he had arm trouble last year, and his inning total wasn't that high, I think it'd be wise to have him spend some time as a starter and as a reliever to increase his inning total a little bit, rather than throwing him into the water with a huge inning increase. Huge inning increases on a year to year basis are typical red flags for injury, and the Yankees would probably want to avoid an injury to Joba of all players.

Right back at ya...

The Subtext of Jeff Kent's Retirement Announcement

EWWWWWWWW!!!! -
I'm definitely going to get a copy...it might be some of the only reading that I actually do...
-
They should back load the contract to protect him from the divorce. I'm not saying pay him a lot in general, but whatever he signs for, have it backloaded so he can get it by the divorce.
-
I got to see halftime. Even then it was like 1 in the morning for me. I was just ticked at the low FT% considering Notre Dame was fouling like it was going out of style. I'm so happy for the win though. For the record UCONN did win their titles exactly 5 and 10 years ago...
-
And it doesn't put a dent in our collective wallet. I like your idea. I'd be prepared to offer slightly higher, but I'm talking about a 250-500k difference. I'd prefer to sign Varitek (at that price) and do the trade and possibly get rid of Bard period. But I wouldn't be surprised if Theo and company see something in Bard that I don't...
-
No, you'll find that I'll use many lines from Family Guy. And I never said that it was my original idea or anything. Do you really want me to have a works cited?? Also I'd have to be wrong, or fail at something in order to fail. I agree with you that the failblog is much better than lolcats, but I certainly didn't fail.
-
Yeah, I was happy that Bryant of all teams lost. I play them in rugby and they are a good team. It sucks that I'll be nearing bedtime when the Uconn/Notre Dame game starts...

What were the previous candidates? The year is pretty young. Heck, what were winning entries from year's past?
