They done it again! The Evil Empire goes out and signs another piece of high-priced beef - namely Mark Texeira - aka Big Tex. Great defensive 1B, great OBP, excellent hitter... and no major achievements (aka Post-Season heroics) to brag about. So ponder this Yankee Fans - the Atlanta Braves have enough moolah for a player of Tex's stature (whether the admit it or not) - yet traded him mid-season to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim which is in Orange County on the West Coast of the United States of America (well if your going to have a verbose name, you might as well go big). I'd be wary of that, but that's me. Eight years and $180Mil is a lot of time and money, but the Yankees can ask the City of NY to pony up, maybe.
And Boras (the Slimy) gets to save a little face after the b-slap the Bosox tossed last week.
Anyway, it all reminds me of a gem The Onion out up on line about six years ago. Enjoy the read.
