Bragging Rights

I called it H E R E -at this- L I N K ...
Zito to the Giants (although I said 6@96 instead of 7@126, but why quibble over $30 million, eh?)

I think I'm losing touch with baseball reallity
I wanted to sign someone as much as anybody else. However, these long term multi-gazillion-dollar contracts are blowing my mind. Have I become old fashioned over the course of 1 year?

I just don't get it. The Yankees spend a fortune to be a fairly good team. But they can afford it.

Maybe there pining for Juan Marichal.

And isn't it a surprise and quite ironic
that the Yankees have been relatively quiet this offseason?

While the Cubs beg their Tribune Co. owners to engage in yellow journalism (to increase circulation and thus the club's payroll), the Red Sox burn $102 mil signing Dice-K, the Royals give Meche $55 mil and Zito gets more over seven years than the payroll of many teams, the biggest splashes the Yankees have made are signing Andy Pettitte to a relatively sane $16 mil/1 yr deal (the sanity comes from the short length) and Kei Igawa to a $20 mil/4 year deal (compare that to Zito's $126 mil).

Someone check Steinbrenner's temperature.

You were right, Rev.
...and I was so wrong.
Do you think the Giants spent their money well?

nope
They are paying him a half million dollars per start. That is more than A-Rod makes per start. HE is not to pitching what A-Rod is to hitting.

81 mil a season?
Comparing batter and pitcher salaries is a little difficult on an appearance by appearance basis
GMJ step number one in a plan for continued dominance, or step number one in a plan for severe weight loss through explosive vomiting?

162 divide by 25 (million)
34 divided by 18 (million)

The 81 was for ARod

I am aware of that
You said Barry gets .5 mil per start and that he is not the ARod of Pitching so I pointed out 81 mil per would be a lot to pay the guy.

Exactly
I am not a math nazi.  Rough estimates work for me.
