Manny introduced with Damon as newest Rays
I find this to be an interesting move by TB. I think they got great value in both of these players through their contacts and on the field. The Rays lost a lot of players last year (Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, Jason Bartlett, Rafael Soriano, etc) so they had to reload somehow to keep competitive in the AL East so I commend them for the move. They always seem to have a solid contribution from their farm system too. Expect them to be in the AL East race in Sept.
I can’t get over how crazy MLB contracts are. Manny made 20 million last year and now only makes 2 million this year. Johnny Damon is making over 5 million in TB this year. While Joey Votto was the NL MVP and he made $525,000 last year. Something is wrong here.
This just highlights why the NFL is head and shoulders above the MLB.
Typical Yankee Response
ESPN – Pitcher Cliff Lee reached an agreement on a deal to rejoin the Philadelphia Phillies late Monday night, a Texas Rangers team source told ESPNDallas.com’s Richard Durrett. Lee’s deal with Philadelphia is for five years and $120 million with a vesting option for a sixth, a source said.
iSH reader response: Just kidding I would’ve eaten this gross bitch out like she had the last vagina on Earth if it meant her husband was coming to the Yankees. Oh well so much for that now. Instead the Yankees are having themselves a pretty shitty offseason, which is something I don’t think I’ve ever said before. But the good news is the Yankees don’t have 27 banners for winning the offseason. They have 27 banners for winning fucking championships. So did the Red Sox crush it last week? Yep. Did the Phillies crush it late last night? Yep. Did the Yankees do a thing besides re-sign 2 players who are a combined 77 years old? Nope. But that’s why they play the games folks. Slumps. Hot streaks. Injuries. Breakout years. Down years. Maybe Philly and Boston are the favorites in December, but people remember Mr. October and Mr. November, not Mr. December.

Carl Crawford To Red Sox: Boston In Agreement With All-Star Outfielder
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox struck again at the winter meetings, reaching agreement with star outfielder Carl Crawford on a $142 million, seven-year contract Wednesday night.
A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the agreement is subject to Crawford passing a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet final.
Crawford's deal was first reported by The Boston Globe on its website.
On Monday, the Red Sox formally announced their trade for slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez of San Diego.
Mangnum Joe
Former Cincinnati Reds player Pete Rose spoke with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia and told a wild story about a trip he took to Vietnam in 1967 with baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.
Rose explained that when they were in the middle of the jungle, DiMaggio said he needed to take a shower.
"And the only way you can take a shower, Mike, is they have these big bamboo bags, like, and somebody's got to get on a chair and pour the water and pull a rawhide thing and the water comes through and the guy takes a shower," Rose said. "So I saw everything that Marilyn Monroe saw."
Rose went on to say that the best way to describe the former Yankee is that "he was a penis with a man hanging from it."
San Francisco Giant Stoners
"We are truly in San Francisco. I'm standing here like (sniffs), that's not cigarettes... That's weed. That's weed!"
Is it possible to recruit this guy to broadcast in Boston (or hangout with him)?
