And lets reach the post season before we proclaim our teams "contenders."
I'm waiting for your response sir.

We did sign Andy Pettitte. And if Randy goes, you know who is replacing him.


As for that Boston team, you can't say their pitching is that great either. Schilling is as ancient as Johnson, Beckett is inconsistant, Dice-K is a huge question mark, not having thrown a pitch in the bigs, Matt Clement is about as useless as Carl Pavano, Tim Wakefield is either great or awful, Jon Lester is recovering from cancer, and Papelbon needs to learn another pitch other than a fastball.

NOT TO MENTION A COMPLETELY BARREN AND WORTHLESS BULLPEN!

Oh, snap.

I'm not sure if Giants are contenders or not, but I know that I now have two hottie pitchers to obsess over, Zito and Lowry. Which means spending a lot more money going to games.

Zito chose the Giants because we are contenders and he loves San Franciscans and New York is filled with meanies.
Minaya said in today's NY Daily News that he wasn't offering more than 5 years. His reasoning was it's too big of a risk for any team. He also said he offering was in the $10-$15 million per year range.

ROFL, the Giants have been the least hottie team in baseball as long as I've been a fan. We now have a total of two hotties.

The hottie team is the A's. I'm sure they will replace Zito with another hottie, that is what they do.

You have no rebuttle. You know the Sox still suck.

The only thing they have going for them is the offense. And that got em 3rd place last year.

It is a huge risk for the Giants, but they had to do something. There was so much anger among fans about the pathetic signings and much grumbling about resigning Bonds. SF was at risk of losing a lot of bona fide fans and maybe not filling seats. Had they decided just to go young and have some rebuilding, then we would have been okay with that, but they instead signed a bunch of so-so mid-30's players and resigned Bonds.
