    Stop worrying about Drew, Fred. He'll be in pinstripes before you know it.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yes, and if someone else signs Drew and the Bogey-WMB tandem gets off to a bad start, we'll see how the voting goes then. Fans are fickle.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, that would be bizarre. Latest on the Yankees is that Hal said the wallet is closed after signing Tanaka.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Cher and Farr...I like it.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, too bad about that injury Boone suffered and what happened when they replaced him.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Dempster helped with that, no doubt. But I have to think Farrell and Nieves deserve a lot of the credit too, as well as the rededicated Lackey. It was a confluence (right YOTN?)
  7. Bellhorn04
    I don't think so. Ellsbury's contract was 155 million, Dempster gave them back 13 million. Still 142 million to go.
  8. Bellhorn04
    zac, sometimes your references are too obscure even for me.

    Oh jeez not the year 2000 thing again. There is no universal agreement on which is the correct answer to this, because nobody really knows if there was a 'Year 0' or not.
  10. Bellhorn04
    That could also be very embarrassing to him. I'm not really jumping to conclusions - I'm suggesting that we're in no position to judge exactly what is motivating him in this decision.
  11. Bellhorn04
    f*** Dodger castoffs.
  12. Bellhorn04
    With the stuff going on his personal life, I suspect Dempster is experiencing depression or something similar. Pretty hard to function properly in that condition.
  13. Bellhorn04
    You don't remember it quite as well as you think. Let Baseball-Reference be your friend! Johnson made it halfway through the 1976 season before being canned for Zimmer. McNamara made it all the way through the 1987 season and halfway through the 1988 season before being canned for Morgan.

    I don't begrudge Schilling his $8 million either. He more than earned the money we paid him in his time here. And he put his health on the line to help us win it in 2004.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yes, he's a dumbass, mediocre pitcher who happened to make $90 million in his career. The $90 million came from us baseball fans one way or the other...the joke's on us, really.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, confluence is a very good word.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Dammit, I am really coming up with some decent stuff here too.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's really not that much different from retiring. Some guys retire even though they know they could hang on another year or two and get paid plenty for it.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I predict they'll spend most of the 13 million.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Anyway f*** Dempster and his motives. It's 13 million freed up, it's a salary dump the easy way. Let the good times roll.
  21. Bellhorn04
    It's not foolish if he feels mentally unable to play baseball. You don't know what his mental state is, or his personal balance sheet either. And I truly believe I can change your mind on this if I re-phrase my position about 5 more times.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Unless he has been very stupid with his money, he should have a personal net worth of at least 40 million. If the wife gets half that's 20 million. If you can get 2% after-tax return on 18 million of it that's 360K a year without touching the principal.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Not necessarily, when it gives you six months of your life to do other things, and you don't need the money anyway. Depends on your viewpoint I guess.
  24. Bellhorn04
    This is great news for the team IMO. As for Dempster, I can understand him doing it this way if he's just not up to pitching this year. It's a lot of money to toss away, but it may be the right thing for him to do personally. This way he doesn't get into any disputes with the team. And I'm pretty sure he's well set financially as it is, having made almost $90 million in his career!
  25. Bellhorn04
    rjortiz is correct that if we did have Pedro, and had clinched the division, our playoff rotation would have been set up much better, because we would also have had Schilling, who came back healthy at the end of the season.
