    Hey Dave I never knew you lived in Bayonne, I used to live off Broadway on 7th. I grew up down the shore, lived in Phoenix, and now Las Vegas but that was my favorite place to live. I jut really liked the people and loved the great Italian food and the Saint Patty's Day Parade.....

    but to each his own.

    "believed to be 41" :lol:

    i guess they don't have alot of confidence in their younger starters or pelfrey for next year if they've got to give el duque 2 years at over 5m per.

    What are with those mustard yellow banners? The only mustard yellow I want to see is on my shirt and pants after a game.

    I think with SNY hitting the ground running, $5M for the extra year is now chump change to them to have an insurance policy in case people don't perform as well as expected.

    I guess its not that bad when you consider its only marginally more then what they've been paying the likes of Zambrano/Trachsel the last couple years. I'd just rather not have a majority of the pitching staff on the wrong side of 40.

    I'm hearing from other sites like the NY Post and stuff that it is $6M total for the 2 years.

    I love the design of the inside. the outside looks good too. the only thing about the stadium i dont like is the names of the levels....

    Concourse Level - not great, i like Field Level better
    Club Level - only one thats ok
    Promenade Level - WTF is a Promenade??? just call it the upper deck.

    Hopefully, they don't get sentimental and bring back Glavine.

    If Glavine wants to come back, he's coming back - Omar and Willie have been completely insistent about this since the day the season ended. Personally, I have no problem with it.

    I think you will by midseason when Glavine sucks. Sig bet?

    Smart GMs get rid of guys before they decline. You gotta figure Glavine is at the end of the line. I have no faith in Glavine for 2007.
