    You paid $103,000,000 for a Japaneses pitcher with an ERA around 6.00 and you're lecturing about fiscal responsibility in baseball?

    Moi? Lecturing? I'm shocked, shocked at these allegations.

    George is simply doing what he must to protect his investment. Besides, when you take into consideration what you're paying Carl Pavano to date hot babes and crash his car into other new yawkers, the Clemens deal actually looks pretty good...

    Roger said in his press conference he was looking forward to handing the ball to the best closer in baseball, who's he talking about?

    None of this makes sense to me but it is all done within the rules of the game and the public still fills the stadium so they must not mind paying for it so this is all idle chit-chat.

    You paid $46,000,000 for a Japanese pitcher you just sent to Single A.
