Yanks sign Teixeira for 8-years/$180 million.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Make that $420 million combined for 3 players. And a $1.3 billion brand new death star on top of that. They are truly the evil empire!

Teixeira would have been a good fit for the sox. At least mike lowell is staying because had they signed teixeira, youk would move to third base while he plays first, giving lowell the heave-ho. I aint worried though, sox have pedroia and the three japenese pitchers to shoot lasers at the yanks.

Yes, they signed yet another japanese pitcher recently.

Agreed. Now we wait for (at least) one of the new free-agent signings to go belly up during the regular season, and the Yanks again trying in vain to win a wild-card berth

When Teixeira blows out his knee and Sabathia needs Tommy John surgery, I'm going to have myself quite a chuckle.

The Big Unit signs with SF. 8 mil for one season is actually a bargain, but .... does he have any gas left in the tank, though? 11-10 last season with a 3.91 ERA - hardly Cy Young worthy.

This from a guy rooting for a team with Jamie Moyer on its roster.

JC Romero suspended 50 games for testing positive for a banned substance.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3812334

I originally thought "My God, how could he be so stupid?" On closer inspection, he's being railroaded for the errors of the Player's Association. Seriously, if this story is true, and they did clear this OTC supplement for use, only to later find out that - Uh, sorry, it can cause you to test positive; Woops-a-daisy! - then there is no negligence on the part of Romero, only on the part of the Association. They need to pay the fine and be suspended for 50 games, not him.

On the other hand, he shouldn't be taking anything stronger than aspirin. He's making a 7-figure salary - there's too much at risk.

The Cubs signed Milton Bradley to a 3 yer $30 million contract. This pending a physical exam. No word on an advisable psychiatric exam.

Ha, good ol' JC Romero.

Billionaire Twins owner and noted cheap ass Carl Pohlad died yesterday at the age of 94. The guy was a cheap skate that once tried to contract the team but he still is the only pro sports owner to bring two championships to any current Minnesota team.

Couldn't care less...

then again, any transactions not involving the Orioles are off of my radar at this point. It's painful seeing how much this organization doesn't care about winning anymore. We need ya back, Cal.

I feel bad for the Orioles having to be in the same division as the Yankees and Sox.

Yeah, but we were up there with them for so long. If the Ravens hadn't come to town Baltimore would be a shitty sports town now. The O's just need to spend some money and hold on to their young talent. And stop rotating out these do-nothing managers. Get a guy with a commitment to winning and get him some fucking players.

Managers actually have little to do with the winning other than dealing with personalities. Its the front office that brings in the right players and the players that execute.

It's up to the managers to throw huge shittin' hissy fits. I seem to remember some guy named Pinella who might have thrown a temper tantrum or two.

Naturally, Rickey Henderson is on his way to the hall of fame. Don't really have any memories of Jim Rice, but it's nice to see a guy (with MVP and All-Star credentials) make it on his last year of eligibility.

Hopefully once Clemens and Bonds get dealt with for their lies, the final chapter of the "Steroid Era" will close.

Obviously i'm biased, but I really hope that Bert Blyleven gets in before his time runs out (3 years). Dude is 5th all-time in strikeouts and once cussed like a drunken sailor during a Twins telecast in 2006.

On a different note, I am absolutely jacked for the start of the MLB season. The roommate are going to order Extra Innings again. Nothing beats a muggy summer night, kicked back in the recliner, lights off, beer and redman in hand, with a ball game on the big screen.

Jim Rice should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago. Blyleven should be in there as well- he's clearly got the numbers. McGwire should also be there, no question. The BBWAA is a bunch of pricks. Baseball has been a cheater's game from its inception, and anyone with numbers like McGwire, Bonds, et al, should be in the HOF, no questions asked.

The BBWAA should be publicly flogged every time they fuck up. Which is to say, "annually."

The new Columbus Minor League Stadium (Right across from the Blue Jackets arena) should be up and running soon. I am eager to go to the first dime a dog night there and get my fat on

That's fucking ridiculous. Jim Rome said it best on his show yesterday or Monday, to paraphrase: "If you don't want your ballot or know what to do with it, give it to someone who does."
