    The Padres have acquired some good players , should Black mold them to a cohesive unit they'll be kicking some but. . Meanwhile Cashman signs crappola and says good luck Joe see you at seasons end.

    ...wonder if he can still type with one hand after breaking his arm by patting himself on the back for no apparent reason?

    This one was a beauty lol.

    "3 @ $36M would be more than fair at this stage of his career."

    Here's another:

    ".3 years/$50 Mil , with an option for a 4th year based on performance/health after 3rd year. (no buyout)"
    Ood

    Yep, looks like I was closest.

    Cheer up....look how smart all of you are going to look when the Yankees win 82-84 games in 2015.

    ...yup, but neither rick nor myself were lamely bragging about our predictions...the sad thing is, the only person you succeeded in impressing is yourself.

    ...lol...yet more from your "alternate universe"...you were closer on the years while I was closer on the yearly salary, but you still lamely pound your chest over something that no one "won"...wow, just wow.
    ...I would not surprised if you give yourself a "golden turd award" every time you take a crap.

    I've noticed something funny, why is it whenever I am either proven to be right/correct, or prove you wrong /incorrect.....you always seem to come up with the same cop-out, lame, convalescing comment:

    "Let it go".


    How about man-ing up and giving the devil his do on occasion?

    Wow! you add a whole new meaning to the term, "Blowing your own horn". I don't know how long you've been on this major ego trip but you need to help me out here, EXACTLY what did you prove yourself to be right about? And EXACTLY when did this mind blowing event happen?
