I think we shared this one before and it led to much of the best salty language appearing in baseball threads for weeks afterwards.
Seriously, though, have the Mets ever gotten less on an investment of this size than Bay has delivered thus far? Kevin Appier was a $40 million toilet, he comes to mind, but still, that's less than 2/3 what Bay will make. Same with Ollie at 3/36...

Wow, I read "6:10 AM" and my first thought was "stay home, call in sick, watch baseball and eat omelettes." My 2nd thought involved that exact plan plus also alcohol.

It'd be easier if they just bought dildos. Using coupons.
