I even agree with some of your points. But I can't get past all your inaccuracies. You’d have more credibility if you just stuck to the facts and didn’t make so many things up.

So, are you just admitting here that you're responding to posts that you don't actually read? My post (and other in greater detail since then) specifically outlined how much these "pennies" add up to, and it isn't 10 mil- it's much more. Your own math doesn't even make sense here since you're the one who offered the 25 mil figure as the amount lost from old contracts- and now you want to subtract them again? How is that me "forgetting" something?There are plenty of good arguments for disliking the current front office- there's no need to just make up numbers that have no basis in reality. Huh?

That is the Wilpon way. Like I said, just go out and get Livan Hernandez, raise ticket prices through the roof for the umteenth year in a row…and continue to scr*w the fans. That is the Wilpon way.

If you do, you'll discover these increases over last year: 5.5 Delgado (1.5 +4.0 buyout for 09) 2.0 El Duque 4.0 Wright 1.5 Reyes 1.0 Ollie (estimated arb increase) 1.0 Heilman (estimated arb increase) 1.5 Castro 6.5 Beltran ----------------------------------------- $23M increases over last year Then you're paying 5.4 for Schneider (4.9 + .5 bonus for being traded) which wipes out the savings for Lo Duca. And Glavine was just at 10.5 this year, while Green was 6M. So you've subtracted 16.5 and added 23M ... So they are currently roughly 6.5M over last year! You're just so clueless! This is not cheap.

Everything is the same. The repeated posts. Ignoring facts. Continuing to post lies. Just over and over again.

All of the pennies you are adding in for the raises of Wright, Reyes, etc., just don't outweigh that. Even if you factor in 10 million in raises, the payroll is still 100 million tops. Just not good enough Freddie Coupons. And you are missing my original point- my original point is that they should not bat an eye at adding in the money for Willis, Pudge. Even if they make that trade, the payroll would still be right around 120 million- which is more than reasonable. Coldentoshea,
