Not sorry to see those Red Sox castoff frauds the Padres go down either. Josh Bard hits
fourth on that team?!?! They probably broke their own record from last year for worst team to ever make the playoffs. (Remember last year when they had to win the last game of the year to finish over .500 and still won the division?) The only reason I don\'t like them is because the one Padres fan I know is the biggest d-bag ever born, but hey, that\'s reason enough. Mets win, Yankees lose, Padres lose. Gorgeous first round. M-E-T-S METS METS METS!
Suggestions for the 2006 offseason:
Joe Torre- It\'s time to go. I welcome the Pinella rumors. Torre\'s a laisse-faire manager. That\'s perfect for some veteran teams, but it might be time for an ass kicker again. Retire #6, and put up his monument, but we need to shake things up.
A-Rod- Shop him. There are plenty of good young Yankees, that if you can get 2-3 quality young ball players in return (like maybe a catcher? Jorge isn\'t getting any younger) you can stay competitive and semi-rebuild at the same time.
Randy Johnson- Please, PLEASE retire. I have a bad feeling he\'ll continue to disgrace himself for another year, but I can only hope.
Gary Sheffield- Thanks for everything, but Melky needs to play.
And on positive note:
Robinson Cano, Chien Ming Wang, Melky Cabrera and Scott Proctor all really came through this year. Jeter was great as usual, and Damon was the best free agent signing they\'ve made since Mussina.
I agree with all of your points. You even have a good chance at getting 3 out of 4. The one that has no chance of happening is A-Rod. You\'re so stuck with him it\'s not even funny. Like any franchise is gonna give up their future for that shmuck. The
Yankees are the ones who will have to send 2-3 good young players to a team just so they\'ll
take A-Fraud. Here\'s how a conversation with Yankees GM Brian Cashman and San Diego GM Kevin Towers might sound:
Cashman: We\'ll give you A-Rod for Cla Meredith and Josh Bard.
Towers: Fuck you.
Cashman: OK, A-Rod for nothing, all you gotta do is take him and pay him.
Towers: Brian, that guy will make my team worse just like he did for
all three teams he\'s been on. Not only is his contract the most expensive ever, it is far, far, far, far, far and away the worst value of any contract in baseball history.
Cashman: OK, we\'ll toss in Wang. Wang and A-Rod for a box of baseballs.
Towers: Well, we
could use a #8 hitter, especially seeing how our lineup is
stacked 1-7. OK, deal!
