everyone goes crazy when a guy like Arod or Texiera asks for huge money but the contracts that really kill teams are the ones like castillo or Juan Pierre or the guys Sniper listed. At least the other guys produce. Obviously the jones deal in LA hasnt worked out so well but the key was it was only a 2 year deal and they only have to deal with him one more year.

OK. I just saw this thread today. It has been an insane weekend! YES the Brewers made it finally. I actually lived in Philly the last time the crew was in the playoffs and I was at the 1983 World Series Phillies vs. Baltimore and had to watch my grandfather gloat as the Orioles won the World Series. I moved to WI in 1989 and have been a fan of the crew ever since. I watched Nolan Ryan win his 300th career game at the old county stadium and have had great memories and a lot of dissapointments being a brewer fan. Today is a great day in WI and hopefully somebody besides CC will show up to pitch in the playoffs.

The other part of my weekend was insane. My wife (shelly) won this contest thru the AQHA (american quarter horse association) and they sent two World Champion trainers to our farm to train her horse for 2 days and take her to an AQHA show. They filmed all of this for a TV show (on RFD TV, mostly on Satelitte). She also won one of her classes so it started Sunday out right and then I got home to watch the Crew win the game and waited in anticipation for the collapse of the METS! It was Awesome. Can't think of a better weekend! I don't even care that the packers lost.

GO CREW!
