Hello Joe.t,Joe.t said:Hey my delusional brothers(rumpy and korbie).
How does this starting pitching rotation look like- http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=nyy
The fourth picture must be a mistake because it looks like a young Roger Clemens to me, either that or I need glasses.
I looked up the definition of injured reserve in the dictionary and it gave me this discription- Clay Buchholz, 6"3, 190lbs.
Just a reminder. Still waiting for Clemens to take the Yankers to a World Series Championship in 2007 as your buddy Hench predicted. Still waiting for Colorado to beat the Red Sox in 6 games in the 2007 World Series as you predicted. Still waiting for CY Wang to pick up his Cy Young as you predicted. Still waiting for A-Rod to break through in the playoffs as you predicted. DAMN...this is so boring. Let's just say Joe.t was WRONG AGAIN...and again...and again...
Bronx cheers,
Korbel
PS
I looked up the word INEPTITUDE! It had A-Slob's playoff stats next to it.

I guess 41 year old Schilling and his 9 wins, 41 year old Wakefield with fantastic ERA of 4.76, Beckett not bloody likely to repeat the lucky season that he had last year and the bust from Japan are a better rotation, this crappy aging rotation will be the downfall of the Red Sox season rumples you fucking meathead.
And yes Chloe get your dancing shoes ready because you and I will be having a blast courtesy of that delusional fool rumples, you just supply your fabulous body and I will supply the pot and the shroons(i've got the good stuff directly from British Columbia and not the crap that you get from around here) while rumples will be supplying the cash.

Source: Santana's total deal exceeds $150M
The deal is done.
Johan Santana reached preliminary agreement with the Mets Friday night on a record contract, according to a major-league source, all but completing the trade that will send the two-time Cy Young Award winner from Minnesota to New York in exchange for four young players.
The Mets locked up Santana for the next seven years, signing him to a six-year, $137.5 million extension on top of the final year of his current deal, which is valued at $13.25 million. The total value of the package is $150.75 million, making his new average salary more than $21.5 million — a record for a pitcher on a long-term contract.
Santana, who turns 29 on March 13, needs only to pass a physical to make the trade official. But the most difficult elements of the transaction — the trade and contract negotiations — finally are complete. Santana is scheduled to take his physical Saturday morning, Twins GM Bill Smith said, according to The Associated Press.
The Mets needed Major League Baseball to grant a two-hour extension of the 72-hour negotiating window to persuade Santana to waive his no-trade clause, forsake free agency at the end of the season and approve the deal.
Santana was present for the final stages of the talks, according to two sources close to the negotiations. He was adamant that he deserved a vastly superior deal to Giants lefty Barry Zito, who signed a seven-year, $126 million contract as a free agent last off-season.
In return for Santana, who was eligible for free agency at the end of the season, the Twins will receive outfielder Carlos Gomez and pitchers Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Deolis Guerra.
Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano held the previous salary record for a pitcher under a multi-year deal — $18.3 million per season over five years. Zito is earning $18 million per season in his deal with the Giants.
Santana's new average trumps both of those numbers, leaving Indians left-hander C.C. Sabathia — who is eligible for free agency at the end of the season — as the next in line for a monster score.
Santana is 93-44 with a 3.22 ERA in eight major league seasons, winning the AL Cy Young Award in 2004 and 2006 with the Twins. He has been less successful in the playoffs, going 1-3 with a 3.97 ERA.
The left-hander slipped a bit last year, finishing with a 15-13 record that included marks of 0-5 against AL Central champion Cleveland and 1-3 vs. Detroit. He dropped seven of his final 11 decisions as his ERA rose from 2.60 to 3.33 ERA, his highest since 2001. He also allowed a career-high 33 homers - most in the AL.

Actually this is a good move by Theo as he is probably thinking that the fat boy's body will not be able to reach 500 AB's this year.
