Please MLB, have Bob Costas do the play by play for the playoffs and world series. It’s amazing how much more entertaining baseball is when it doesnt have joe buck and the other idiot trying to do commentary. [/quote]
Costas does games for MLB network correct? As long as half of the playoffs and all of the World Series are all on Fox we will continue to hear Joe fucking Buck.[/quote]
It’s a shame, and really doing a disservice to baseball.

Yankees just traded for Vernon Wells
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH[/quote]
Well hes not worth the pricetag, but he certainly makes the team better with all the injuried they’ve had and still has the potential to hit .250 with 35 hrs, especially in that park. However, he is just as likely to hit .210 with 10 hrs. It’s definitely a gamble, and if the Yankees are goin to go anywhere this season they will have to get a little lucky.

An interesting point on the Vernon Wells trade - If they’re willing to spend that sort of cash on Vernon Wells, why did they let Russell Martin walk?
I still have no idea who their starting catcher is this year.

They arent paying that much at all, 14 million of the 40 owed, and they received a good amount of money from the WBC because of the Texeira injury. It is in reality a low cost no brainer move

This was not a gamble…not at all see above post.

It’s still a gamble to the extent that he’ll play regularly and could stink.
Yankees have a very small margin of error this season.
no its not a gamble, because they spent, relatively speaking not too much cash, and he is not taking the spot of someone that is the for all intents and purposes better, when Granderson comes back he will be a 4th outfielder…not a gamble at all.
Edit…He and Boesch will round out the outfield corp, as a unit its actually OK at full strength.

Alex Rodriguez will make more this season than all of the Houston Astros combined.
Rodriguez, who will miss at least the first half of the season, tops the Major Leagues with a $29 million salary.[/quote]
Pretty sure the lowest payroll team is around $50 million.[/quote]
fuck Arod[/quote]
Jesus, I didn’t follow what they did in the off season but it’s impressive that they could find $35 million to cut from their prior year payroll, which was a measly $60 million.
