Ah, baseball. The feeling of spring training gets any red-blooded American’s heart pumping like… uh… nothing, I suppose. I love baseball. I love everything about it. I especially love when Joba Chamberlain gives up a 2-run homer to the Twins. All is right in the world right now.
I guess I should catch up on what’s been going on in the world of Red Sox Nation. In one sentance,
Hank Steinbrenner was like, “Urrr Red Sox are the dumb and I am teh smrt! Yankees can be teh best and I kind of look like Vince Vaughn!” and then John Henry was like, “Okay, I’ll take the high road and make you look foolish,” and Hank was like,“Blah blah blah,” OH WAIT HE HAD NO RESPONSE.
Yeah. You all know what happened. ESPN blew it out of proportion as usual, and no one gave a damn after the first ten minutes of talking about it except for Buster Olney, Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, all of Around the Horn, and the rest of the idiots in Bristol (sans Peter Gammons and Bob Ryan, but definitely including Jackie McMullen).
Anyway, don’t get worried about Papelbon and this contract thing. Theo will work it out before Paps becomes a free agent. I expect Paps to be demanding Mariano Rivera money, which is around $15 million/year. I’ll put it this way: if J.D. Drew can make $14 million a year, Paps should be making $50 million.
Well, I’m out of topics and time. Until next time!
