I’m picturing Pete playing some mean tennis racquet guitar in front of a mirror when “Outlaw Pete” gets released. Rock on, brotha.

the chronicle says:

2:39pm: MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon says it’s a two-year, $8MM deal for Affeldt. Nice signing! Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says the Giants are not done looking for relievers.

Since the Dog left, I no longer watch Francesa. His condescending and insulting attitude to callers whom he doesnâ€™t agree with coupled with his overall pomposity becomes grating. Also, I find it amusing how obsequious he is with the coaches, managers and players, rarely challenging them as a good journalist should do; in short, an obvious Celebrity Parasite. Other than that, heâ€™s ok!!!

Let’s hope that someone who isn’t hearing impaired mixes and masters it.

“Magic” had great songs and performances but sonically, it’s atrocious.

Pujols gets 200,000$ for the MVP. That guy is so good, it hurts. I wish he was in the AL just to see him play more. Then again….

R Howard struck out 200 times and hit .250.

When do they vote for MVP?

It’s sad I have to feel relieved that the voters made such a blindingly obvious choice in Pujols.

I see there were two first-place votes for Lidge. At first I figured those votes came from Philadelphia homers, but then I realized that all homer votes would have gone to Howard. In fact, if a Philly writer wanted a Phillie to win, it would have been stupid to dilute the Howard vote by voting for Lidge. What’s the story with those two votes?

Come to think of it, Lidge might have been a better MVP choice than Howard.

Gayle…its true Pujols sounded petty and dumb when he complained. But despite his complaints, Howard still won the MVP that year, even though the Phillies didn’t make the playoffs.

So whether Pujols complained or not its irrelevant to this argument.

It’s rumored that Boras wants Manny’s deal done and then he plans to use it to set Tex’s value. If Tex leaves it up to Boras, he won’t be signed for awhile.
