it really does suck that our instability re: our mgr and gm spots could hurt us when it comes to signing/trading…THANKS AGAIN WILPONS—–

I’m gonna take them serious. I’m not sure what kind of guy Matt is, meaning how much input he has with Boras. But playing alongside Pujols, with one of the best managers, and in front of the friendliest fans in the game does have its perks. Millions of $$ more though to play alongside Beltran, Wright, Reyes, and Johan in front of the most emotional fanbase does have its perks as well….but we also have a manager/GM that may or may not be here one year from now, let alone 6 months from now.

The Red Sox are good, but they’re not that good. They wont be signing Lackey and Bay AND trading for Adrian, who will require Tex money soon enough. Two of the three, realistic, not all three.

The Lone Ranger had Tonto. Sigmund had the Sea Monster. Laverne had Shirley. Martin had Lewis. Abbott had Costello. Laurel had Hardy. Nichols had May. Simon had Garfunkel. Hall had Oates. Howard has Robin. Ham has cheese. Bacon has eggs. B has H. H also has H. Abraham had Strauss. Rodgers had Hammerstein. Batman has Robin.

The list goes on and on. See, right there! On has on!

I could see them getting one of Marquis or Pinero but not both, and they would be missing a LF, unless they are going with Murphy at 1st and Pagan in LF

Take the Cardinals seriously. If they can’t protect Pujols in the lineup, he may test the waters after 2011. I think of Pujols in the same way I think of LeBron James. Superstars need a side kick. Ruth had Gehrig, Mantle had Maris, Jordan had Pippen, Manny had Big Papi, etc. Pujols is looking at Holliday the same way. If the Cards come up empty, then Albert may look for a better situation.

Why would they be optimistic about Holiday? They have about as much chance of signing Holiday as I do of Playing in the big leagues! It aint happening! NO CHANCE!

LOL, that FOX sports poll doesnt even list the Mets as a possible location for Holliday, even though we are obviously the front runners after midnight.
