I'm all in favor of shoring up the rotation, but 3 years/$33 million seems a bit much for Lilly. He's a solid #3/4 starter, but this just seems like Frank and Ned's way of overreacting to the negative press about the McCourt divorce and saying "See? We have money to spend. Nothing to worry about." If, as most people believe, the payroll stays the same or even goes down from last year, this is a lot of money they just spent. Looks like Ned will have to go dumpster diving for a LF for the 2011 season. Might I suggest:

Dude's gonna look like this by the time the contract is up!

Edit: And he's gonna learn to throw right handed.

...In reality he expanded on it since all I did was throw out a suggestion about myfootballclub.co.uk and Tom did actual research to write an interesting column.

I've had my issues with Hoffarth's opinions in the past but he came through here. +1 internet to you, sir.

I couldn't find a bigger screencap so this will have to do and should convey how I feel about the upcoming series.

The season's over and seeing as how I watched about 4 baseball games this year, I had plenty of time to Photoshop and tweak some template I found to fit my needs. I don't make things from scratch because that's how chumps do it. When it's time to eat a meal, I rob and steal. There's still plenty of things that need work so don't yell at me if something isn't working.

This blog turned a year old in June and as the bastard child of the artist formerly known as L-Ram and myself, we didn't acknowledge it. The redesign ushers in a new era in blogging mediocrity the likes of which has yet to be seen.

Stop by and leave a thug hug in the comments along with any thoughts, suggestions, or complaints, regarding the new look.

I was tempted to make the move to Wordpress like M.Brown but I'm too attached to Blogger to betray it like that. Blogger por vida ese.
