I Hate You...

Regarding your little math equation there: Replace Philip Hughes with the Oft-Injured, newly revived, pride of Southington, Carl Pavano, and suddenly Im a little happier about the trade. Spring training will have an interesting twist to it to see which scenario plays out.

WHEN (notice I didn't use "IF", but instead chose "WHEN") the Yankees acquire Santana, I will in fact be done with the game of baseball. Ive threatened it many times before, but as things have played out with the "Arod Affair", Sheffield, Giambi, and their myriad of other failed acquistions (note: failed=no championships), Im still here with my head attached to my body. Although, you know, with this recent non-sensical, splurge by the Red Sox this offseason, I can't even scold the Yankees and baseball for their spending/possible spending. Life is a many fickle thing indeed.
