Welcome to the big-time, mick.

Since you've got connections, is there any way you can direct some of that cash flow towards your officiating buddies?

And, finally, isn't there some forum rule about commenting on the 2007 baseball thread in 2008?

And Canseco is supposedly gonna out Magglio Ordonez for steroids in his book now.

Canseco is a douchebag. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he's a lying douchebag. Nobody that he's named has sued him yet.

Johan Santana ends up in NY!!

Oh wait. It's with the Mets. I feel better now. And it's actually not quite a done deal: "Santana has a full no-trade clause and can veto the deal unless he gets a contract extension, and it's expected that the Mets and Santana will begin negotiating as soon as possible."

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3220894

The Mets will give up 4 of their top 10 minor league prospects. Should be interesting in the next 3 or 4 years to see how much the Twins actually get out of the deal.

The article says that the Mets' offer is probably only the fourth best offer that Minnesota received, but they couldn't (or wouldn't) pull the trigger on any of those.

BTW, less than 4 weeks till pitchers and catchers report!!!

Looks like Brandon Inge will be dusting off his catcher's gear.



Santana to the N.L. --> All A.L. pitchers just got better.
