I figured my first post about baseball wouldn't be at least until January, but here are some thoughts on the latest doings:
- No matter where he goes and what he does for the rest of his career, Pedro will still be the greatest pitcher of all time. Watching him in his prime ('99-'01) was like nothing I've ever experienced before. I think I might have been actually in love with him at one point.
- He'd be insane not to take the offer the Mets are giving him. It's a retarded offer. Isn't it interesting how fans always take the side of the owners? People always say "What would I pay Pedro?" but no one ever says, "If I were Pedro, what would I ask for?" Why does the common man always take the side of the billionaire owners over the millionaire players? If I put myself in Pedro's shoes, my thoughts would go something like "These white fucks are making billions off my sweat and my shoulder. I'm going to take as big a piece of the pie as I can." But that's just me.
- The Mets are the worst-run organization, precisely because of giving out contracts like this. If they keep overspending on aging superstars, they're (in the words of my da) right eejits. I hope Pedro enjoys pitching out his career on a crap-ass team. And tell Mo Vaughn I said hello.
- After I wasted all that emotional energy on the Nomar trade last year, I don't get upset about shit like this anymore. I have total faith that Theo is going to do the right thing. I still think Larry Lucchino is a douche, though.
- Part of me is glad that Pedro will finish his career somewhere else. I'd hate to watch him deteriorate in front of us, have to listen to the racist Boston fans and media tear him apart. If he's going to leave, I'd rather he leave us with the image of the World Series trophy on his head and a midget by his side.
- Remember: Alex Rodriguez was our shortstop this time last year. Nothing is final until it's final.
Any thoughts, monkeys?

As long as Wells isn't our #2 starter next year, I'm down with Theo & the 3. We just have to land Tek now though.
Oh, and another thing - is it me or do you just not care as much? The World Series ring sort of took the edge off for me. I'm interested, but feel no anxiety about the team. Whatever happens happens. I don't think I've been in a bad mood since they won (except November 2, of course).
Wait, Pedro's black?
And what you describe in the comment above should be called 'The Yankee Effect'. Those six World Series titles in my lifetime? The only reason I didn't murder that fucking Italian exchange student sitting in my living room when that priss ARod went slappy...
This is Vin, by the way.
