Derek Lowe got his money and his fourth year. I guess it’s hard to give a 35 year old a fourth year, thing stend not to work out (cough, Pedro) with that fourth year, but on the other hand it’s the price of doing business these days. The old one stupid owner theory.
So I’d like to be mad and throw things but I get it.
So we’re back to Oliver Perez. Guess who represents him. Guess who knows the Mets really need starters. How much do you think a 27 year old left-hander is going to cost now? Ollie, you can buy lunch.
What are the Mets going to do, say no? Tim Redding is a fifth starter….they need a four, and by four I don’t mean Four Inning Pedro.
This Randy Wolf fellow intrigues me. He used to be pretty good back when with the Phillies before the Tommy John surgery. He might be worth a gamble.

Morgan Stanley Stadium in 2010? Is there a single person out there who thinks the present Name Which Shall Not Be Said (until they stop using taxpayer money to name ballparks) will last 20 years? The Washington Post printed the following:
“I think within 12 months, Citigroup no longer exists,” said William Smith at Smith Asset Management, who owns Citigroup shares. He has been calling for a breakup of Citigroup for years, and believes the government will force that fate in piece-meal fashion over the coming year.
The Boston Herald has a piece about Roger Clemens not making the Hall of Fame. Absurd. Like I said about Rose unless you’re going to re-write the results book, Clemens is a Hall of Famer.
I may have to start my own Pantheon Of The Famous and invite Rose, Bonds, McGwire & Sosa to be in the inaugural class.
Finally, The Times says you can still get premium seats at Yankee III. 20 games will only set you back seven grand.
