1. Well...I've got $17 and change in my pocket....

...maybe I'll give him a call and see if he wants to play for the Cubs.

2. he's gonna be a Met

Omar and Pedro will make sure.

3. I Don't Know About That

Big Stein wants his calzone!

4. Well there goes the rocket.

Can't say as I blame him. I heard management refused to take out that stupid hill in center field.

5. just for some speculative fun ...

Clemens met with Joe Torre this past week ...

[tcfrogs]

6. They both played in the pro-am at the Mercedes golf tourney

Saw the highlights on the golf channel today, and an interview with Torre. If Clemens plays at all, it'll be in H-town.

7. okay, he's a decent ballplayer . . .

but don't you think a $100 million contract is just a bit much? . . . I mean, he did hit .267 last year with 100 RBIs . . . pretty good, but not exactly knocking the cover off the ball . . . I doubt that the Yankees will go after him, so he'll probably end up joining Petey on the Mets . . . whom the also overpaid for . . .

8. Stats can be deceptive.

The kid's got it all. His speed alone is worth a run or two a game (both offensive and defensive).
