arod will either sign with texas or go back to the mariners.

i was actually kinda wishin his greed would take him out, and have no one pick him up this year.

and, i was hoping the yankees would do something to get manny ramirez.

25 mil. i cant frickin believe that. AROD is an incredible talent, but... is he worth THAT much? how many people have actually heard of manny ramirez? $20/year's worth? i mean, i know the guy is great, but...

this is the part of sports that sickens me. and, sadly, i see no way out of it. AROD should have been shot for his demands (the cash is one thing. its fine, even. but, he had a list that included things like season tickets for his friends and family, his own personal jet to fly between games, his own convenience stand to sell his products within the stadium, deluxe accomodations in hotels during away games... he'll make 25 mil PER YEAR!!! get yer own tickets!!)

The MLB is a bloated beast that will cannabalize itself within the next ten years. This is part of the reason I refuse to go to Wrigley Field anymore. $65,000,000 payroll and they still lose 90 games...what a fuckin' joke...

I always love the supposed arguement "Well there career is so short and they have to retire so young."

If that is the case there are a few options

1) Choose a different career.
2) This is the REAL reason you should be in college consider a second career option to suppliment.
3) Invest the money you make wisely, dont spend it all on fast cars and loose women! (on second thought go ahead but dont come crying to me, I would nt be cryng to you if I had your money).
4) If you are actually a good player someone will want you to sponsor your product.
5) Become an actor, if Dennis Rodman can do it so can Jennifer Lopez.
