Hahaha..fucker..had me on that....

I wonder how many millions they over paid on this...crazy money.

A truely awful cliche driven critique from that person.

] After all, as Doug pointed out, since he met his bride in 1998, the Yankees had not failed to win the championship. See maybe the marriage is doing well because the yankees have not won the WS since 2000.

Great story....

People were calling Steve Somers on the FAN last night suggesting racisim as the reason why Willie didn't win.

Thomas to the Jays,two years - $18 million.

Never had a bad experience at an apposing teams game in baseball..my worst experience ever was going to Ibrox to watch Glasgow Celtic play Glasgow Rangers back in the early ninties.....I don't think I can express enough how Glasgow is on the day they play each other....boat loads of people travel over from Ireland,Catholic to support Celtic and Protestant for Rangers...the feeling is unreal....the Rangers fans sing a song that goes like this...... ] "Fuck the pope" "Up to my knees in Fenian blood" leaving the ground is scary..on the other hand ging to Celtic Park for the same fixture is a belssing.

Born in New York,NY...checked baseballreference.com,your right Johnny,made some serious twine with the Tigers,at least for the player he is.

Easley don't kill it either..and is worse against righties..

Yeah after the francesa show...I tried watching but the guy is just annoying..

Speizo back with the Cards

Dodgers not slated to move until 09,I can't remember for how many years the Mets extended things with St.Lucie but I imagine Vero Beach will find a team.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6173132 So no more spring training games against the Dodgers.

Casey back with Detroit in a one year deal......

Santana wins the AL Cy Young ....got all 28 first-place votes for a perfect total of 140 points.

Boston.com is speculating Drew will get 4 years $56 million..crazy or what...Theo Epstein spoke with the Mets yesterday,about what the article does not know...Omar on Lugo..same article... ] Meanwhile, the Sox definitely appear to be the clear front-runners for shortstop Julio Lugo. "Julio Lugo is one of the best shortstops in the game," said Mets GM Omar Minaya. "I really believe Julio is an excellent defensive shortstop, let alone the fact that he can really hit. Don't sell him short defensively. I know teams are looking at him as a second baseman or whatever, but he's a major league shortstop."

Chalk one up for me and Doc..Casey back with the tigers.

Thomas's bat to replace Wells bat and Milledge to take his spot in the OF with Heilman in the Jays rotation.

Yeah, he probably told Miami writers that Girardi desearved it.

Lou Piniella and Jim Fergosi thought Willie woz robbed... ] "You gotta be kiddin'!" said Piniella. "I thought Willie did an outstanding job this year. The Mets played hard all year and his starting rotation was in flux. Taking nothing away from Joe, who also did a real nice job down there in Miami, but if I had a vote, I'd have Willie first and Joe second." ] "How do you have a guy be manager of the year with a losing record?" said the equally flabbergasted Fregosi.

I had to look twice, thought at first $4.5M was $45 million.....isn't there another Japanese pitcher going up for bid soon...plays for Valentines team I think.

] Milledge on way out? Omar could be ready to deal the outfielder, but his stock is down BY KEN DAVIDOFF Newsday Staff Correspondent November 16, 2006 NAPLES, Fla. -- The Mets picked up another young outfielder yesterday, acquiring 25-year-old Ben Johnson, along with righthanded reliever Jon Adkins, from the Padres, in return for relievers Heath Bell and Royce Ring. Mets general manager Omar Minaya and his Padres counterpart Kevin Towers announced the deal together here at the GMs' meetings, discussing the trade as a potential win-win for both clubs. But as the Mets stockpile some options, this offseason increasingly looks like a potential loss for Lastings Milledge. The jewel of the Mets' farm system a year ago, Milledge now appears more like a present trade chip than a future Mets All-Star. "There's a lot of interest in some of my young guys," Minaya said yesterday at the Naples Grande. "My young starters, definitely some of my young outfielders. But it's one of those things where it's got to be the right names." If Milledge does return to the Mets in 2007, it might speak as much to other teams' lack of interest in him as it does to the Mets' desire to keep him. The Mets have spoken with the White Sox about their abundance of starting pitchers, but Chicago would want a pitcher - like Mike Pelfrey - and not Milledge, in return, a person familiar with the situation said. Mets officials internally discussed the idea of offering Milledge and reliever Aaron Heilman to the Blue Jays for Vernon Wells, with the idea of moving the centerfielder Wells to rightfield and shifting Shawn Green to left. But Toronto would need more than that package if it were to move the All-Star Wells, who is a year away from free agency. Milledge would be a natural piece of a package to land Florida's Dontrelle Willis, if the Marlins became amenable to such talks. Milledge, 21, hit .241 with four homers and 22 RBIs in 56 games for the Mets in 2006 as he shuttled between the Mets and Triple-A Norfolk. Far more troubling than his numbers, however, were behavioral issues like showboating and tardiness, and that seems to have put his future in question. Yesterday, Minaya spoke highly of Milledge, saying the outfielder's status was "fine. Perfect. He's solid. We could go with him as the every-day guy. If we don't do anything [to get a veteran leftfielder], I think he'll be ready to play." On other fronts, the Mets continue to wait on Tom Glavine, who is taking his time deciding whether to sign with the Mets for 2007 or return to Atlanta, where he lives year-round, and the Braves. The Mets are still confident that they will retain Glavine, and friends of Glavine believe that the lefthander will come back to Flushing. Compared to the Braves, the Mets have a seemingly better chance of winning next year's World Series, they have the ability to pay Glavine a higher salary for 2007 and they have the willingness to give Glavine a no-trade clause. The Mets also have been in touch with Glavine's agent Gregg Clifton about free-agent lefty Mark Mulder, who underwent shoulder surgery in September and is more of a long-term project. Clifton said that he would meet with Mulder today to go over all of the pitcher's options. Mulder had a shaky relationship with Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson when both were with Oakland, but Clifton said that Mulder respects Peterson and would be open to working with him again. Negotiations have begun with manager Willie Randolph for an extension, and SI.com reported that the talks are off to a slow start. The Mets have a two-year extension in mind for between $1 million and $1.25 million a year, the Web site reported, and Randolph wants a three-year deal for more money.

I wouldn't want it, the game is fine the way it is IMO...
