You know, Nick Swisher to the Yankees kind of makes sense to us. He has enough swagger and personality to pull it off. Plus, we think he looks better with short hair. On the other hand, C.C. Sabathia to the Yankees makes us want to throw up. Does this make sense? Maybe not so much. But that is how we feel.
There's about 140 million good reasons. But you know C.C. says he wants to hit, and stay on the West Coast. We'll see how he responds to those 140 million good reasons. I find it funny that the Yankees have to outspend the Rays sixfold to keep up with them. That Brian Cashman, what a "genius"!

The main reason it makes sense is that Nick Swisher hasn't really panned out into a good player, but CC is a star.

I haven't been able to load OAD for MONTHS!!! This is so exciting! Did everyone have a nice post-season? Winter trade talks? Thanksgiving? Election?

There was an election?

since the Yankees apparently have signed Mark Teixera, I wonder what will happen to Swish?

Post Holiday musings:
At 6'10'' it makes sense that the Big Unit is finally and officially a "Giant". But $8 million? Hee Hee, stupid Giants!
Swish? He is now the highest paid mascot in all of sports. Sorry Stomper!
Bobby Abreu in an A's uniform? I wouldn't mind seeing that. It says they are still
pursuing Giambi and Garret Anderson too. Giambi might be a good fit. I'm sure he misses In N Out Burgers while playing in the Bronx. He was rocking the stache last year too. Anderson seems to be finished in my opinion. But I've been proven wrong before, and will be proven wrong again.

Honestly, I really want Giambi to come home. I think it'd do him good. He can show his tats again and grow more facial hair. Not to mention the In-N-Out. As an out of state student I must say that those are missed!

I got kicked out of the Coliseum once for yelling out, "show me your tats."

Giambi + stache = more production at 1st base!!
Posted by: Jason | January 03, 2009 at 01:17 AM
If Giambi does come back to Oaktown, is there a provision that Jeremy comes with him in some capacity? Shudder!
