As I stated earlier, I lost interest in modern baseball during the steroid era but I was wondering if anyone invented a statistic yet that showed how great you were compared to your salary? I’m all for anybody making as much money as they legally can but if some guy walked into my office and said “I want 12 million per year and I’m 90% sure I can give you two or three solid innings per week” , i’d do my best Hue Jackson impersonation and tell him “get the **** out of my office”

You’re right!!! I should have offered fifty or sixty million!! I can’t wait until he walks across water to reach the podium at the hall of fame. When he telepathically relays his acceptance speech straight into the brains of us mere mortals, it will make the special wing they’re building just for Him all worth it.

Someone else will have to deliver the first 8 minutes of the speech.

We should have a hall of fame for posts. This should be in it.

Doesn't matter. The ninth minute of the speech is the only one that matters.

I’ve been told they’re putting Rivera on a word limit just like a pitch count. After14 words, he’s done for the day. Don’t worry, he’ll be back three days later to finish up.
