Sorry townsfolk, been out of town, in the Windy City on biz. Good to report that they got the parking lot tollbooth working over at EWR!
Lots 'o' baseball this week. My beloved NY Mets picked up K-Rod and JJ Putz to put a hammer on the 8th and 9th innings. Sorry to see Joe Smith go though.
The other big BB news is the NY Yankees signed CC Sabathia. Now here is the funny part. Originally they offered 6 years, 140 million. The only other team anyone know about is the Milwaukee Brewers at 5 and 100. So what do the Yankees do? They up the offer against themselves to seven years and 161 million, with an opt-out after three years! WHAT WHAT WHAT? Was the big man so not in love with the idea of putting on the pinstripes that they had to entice him in ways unknown in the negotiation process. If he has a couple of great seasons at the beginning, he's opting out - and if he doesn't, the Yanks are stuck with a 7 year deal on a 300 lb man. Nice going NYY!
