Or, you could look at Greg Maddux as a classic case of both. :D

Hey! (Yet another mark...)

At least the Cubs have pennants, as old as they are.

So, there. :p

Hey, we just got one this year. Just 'cause we got swept by the Evil Empire Jr doesn't mean we lose our pennant. I read the rules, I know how it works.

World Series pennant?

Obviously not... :p

While you guys are screwing around with your petty fan bullsh1t a true American hero is on his way to jail...

No, you just said pennant. We got a NL pennant.
:D

Boras deserves everything in the end that he could possibly get. And more.

Uh oh! Mr. PotatoHead is heading to the slammer.

This one could be interesting. So could the Mitchell Report be also if he tries a whitewash.

Uh, oh...another body-part reference...

(Btw, I agree.)

Shut up, beaver.

Thank you, Eddie Haskell.

Yep, they've got a deal in place.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have agreed to the outline of a $275 million, 10-year contract, a deal that potentially would allow him to earn millions more if he sets the career home-run record.
The amount of the guaranteed money was revealed by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been finalized. A-Rod met Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., with the Steinbrenner brothers but the parameters of the deal were set in place last weekend.
"Yeah, I could say that," Yankees senior vice president Hank Steinbrenner said. "The meeting was a final get-together. He wanted to make sure myself and my brother knew that he was sincere and serious."
The Yankees still must draft the agreement with Rodriguez's agent, Scott Boras.

Nails on a chalk board.

Who is that? Barry, who?

I wonder if he's going to charge the press who attend his conferences like he charges little kids for autographs?

What's the over/under on Bonds's jail time?
