    Yea... when I first heard the $22 million, a Boston friend of mine said, "hmm... that's his number... must have something to do with that."

    (Had to go to my ignore list override function for that one)





    And yes, it was worth the 3.5 minutes it took me to copy and paste all those quotes.

    That's awesome! :)

    By the way...did you hear his agent joking about the $22 million number?? I bet they were laughing at all the reaction it was getting from the national media.

    Was it really now? Was it?

    Roger ain't coming back. Screw Drayton and his penny-pinching ways. We won't be anywhere near a contender for decades.

    You do realize they had a press conference at two announcing Roger had resigned for next season at $18 million, right? :eek:

    Highest paid pitcher in the game.

    It's all smoke and mirrors. Drayton and Clemens got together and put this "pretend" contract together. Stupid Drayton will make Roger have some sort of ailment to where he won't play.

    I've never been so irritated in my life! Why can't this team ever do anything right?!?

    When have you ever known Fatty to joke around? He's always serious.

    I just saw all of the posts that Behad had gathered, and figured it'd be fun to jump on the hater bandwagon. I'm always running a little behind...
