Supposedly, they're going to be over by a little bit as it stands right now. What would be really stupid would be to pay a 50% tax for just going a smidge over (the tax bracket won't change now).

In other words, I think they're going to keep spending.

nasty, what's up man? long time no see. you're welcome for jacoby ellsbury.

Hey Brock

Yeah it's been awhile.

Ellsbury couldn't stay on the field with any consistency when he was playing for his free agency ( not that it hurt him any), 7 guaranteed years doesn't fill me with a lot of optimism.

that's exactly what I was wondering when the yanks signed him. do they expect him to play at least 150 games per year? doubtful.

Have you noticed yet the total lack of circular arguments that used to be a staple here?


You're welcome.

that show exposes all health inspectors who obviously do not work at all.

it also makes me go to chain bars like applebee's and Fridays. at least I know the place is clean and food is rotated accordingly. if you go to patty's diner on the corner of main st, you're taking a gamble!


Talked my boss into doing our anual offsite meeting at my local Buffalo Wild Wings, so someone else will have to carry the load here Friday afternoon.

That is my "Cheers", and I am their Norm......

I am just now reading that the Astros were actul serious bidders on Tanaka, coming in at some point over $ 100 mil.

Lucky for them that it did not fly. Can you imagine the clubhouse, with both Tanaka and the team having to discuss and justify one player making many times more $$ than THE REST OF THE TEAM, COMBINED.

it's not just that, it's still the fact that he would be making that money in no more than 32 games, assuming he's not injured.

does anybody even want a shortstop position anymore? most likely not.

I have a whatever attitude towards the players contracts. after so many years of hearing how the Yankees are ruining baseball (starting with Howard Cosell in Reggie's three HR game).

It's the 75 t.v's tuned to sports that do it for me. That, and the global trivia games they do all day long. I don't bother going to any other place for food when I go out, but that is in part to getting beyond special treatment.

Time and tides will change. As soon as someone i.d's a SS prospect they feel is head and shoulders above all others, then teams will also fall over themselves to pay that guy.

my problem is I quit drinking years ago, so I don't go many places to just hang out. my wife loves wings, so we go places like this and Hooters to eat.


Wife once woke me up by saying the DirecTV was out and we needed to go to Hooters to watch the Yankees game.

7 years , $155 million.

plus a $20 million cut to his former team.

This Red Sox fan hope his location proves at least as erratic of his father's.

I HATED DaiSUCKy when he was with my team and always expected Ls in the games he pitched.
