i'm so mad at santana right now

i've been a twins fan for as long as i can remember, they've got a great reputation for building from the ground up and creating some very fine ball players...problem is, their payroll is near the bottom in comparison to everyone else so when these players get good, off they go...same goes for torri hunter too...grumble, grumble...




grumble

Funny, we thought we would have to give two arms, a leg, and David Wright for Santana.

I hate to deal prospects, but I'm psyched about this deal...


It was lack of pitching that cost us in the end last season...this is a great step. I can't believe it!




Poetrychic......Gonna leave this brokedown palace...........

how in the hell does this place have so many mets fans anyway?

i can still hope this deals fall through...early last week the rumour was he was staying in minnesota...we had sportscenter on in our kitchen at work and i just happened to be back there getting a beverage when they did that story...me this kid who works for me were high fiving (he's a twins fan too) and then bam!! all of a sudden there's a new deal a couple days later....


please fall through, please fall through, please fall through

well they traded him for practically peanuts and this is no guarantee that he will be signing longterm with the mets(GREAT deal 4 Mets anyway, IMO!) ....so maybe he will be back in the american league next year pitching for the team he loves....GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Source: Santana's total deal exceeds $150M




The Mets locked up Santana for the next seven years, signing him to a six-year, $137.5 million extension on top of the final year of his current deal, which is valued at $13.25 million. The total value of the package is $150.75 million, making his new average salary more than $21.5 million — a record for a pitcher on a long-term contract.
