:oops: Yeah, but this time I really believe in a big season from him! At least he's better than Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa.

That he is. I don't try and defend these contracts though. I love the way the Yankees spend even though they often overspend.

The Phillies offered 3 years with a 4th option. That is less than half of what Washington offered.

I don't hate Jayson, but it sure does put a sour taste in one's mouth when it is so obviously only about money and not one bit about the game and winning.

I guess I got over this "all they care about is money" thing a long time ago. Either way they go to "work" to play a ball game, and they're probably not playing for their favorite childhood team anyway, so they just go to the highest bidder. If a bunch of companies in my field had a bidding war for me (haha), I wouldn't have any loyalty to my company, whatsoever.

Plus now he can book vacations in October.

Thanks. I knew the Caps had somebody but I had to look up their roster to remember who. That's "kuh-noo-ble" for the non-hockey fans.
