A Recap of the JD Drew Signing

The JD Drew Signing by Theo and his boys made no sense at all. And thus I had to do a little undercover investigating, which led to the true story, it's all Scalabrine's fault.

Characters:

JD = JD Drew, currently in contract with the Devil.
Devil = Scott Boras, only capable of whispering evil words into the ear of clients.
Ned = Ned Colletti, current GM of the Dodgers.
Scalls = Brian Scalabrine, in allegiance with the Devil, master Weed cultivator.
Ainge = Danny Ainge, current Celtics GM sucker for the Gange.
Eppy = Theo Epstein, currently under the Devil's spell.

Sometime in late October:

Devil: JD, you do not want 34 million, you want more, more, more. I can get you more JD, more.

JD: More, I like more, you sure you can get me more. Mmmm More is better than a good Chicken Salad.

Devil: [Mumbles] Uh Chicken Salad, ok. Yes More shall I call the Dodgers and inform them of our greed.

JD: More, More, More.

Devil: I'll take that as a yes. [Snickers]

November 9th

Devil: Ned he wants more, more, more.

Ned: [Mumbles] Boy I hope he means JD. Who wants more Beelzebub?

Devil: The Greedy One, JD, my little pawn. He is going to opt out of the final three years of his contract. I will get him more.

Ned: [Screams] Praise Jesus, I've been hoping this day would

Devil: [Interjects] Yo, I made this happen, praise me Satan king of Evil.

Ned: Sorry, Lucifer, but only Jesus could get me out of 34 million for 3 years.

Devil: I beg to differ.

Ned: Whatever, I'll give you partial credit, thanks [Sarcastic] King of Evil.

Sometime Mid November

Scalls: Hey Scotty, I heard you need my sticky icky.

Devil: Please don't refer to me as Scotty, it's not evil enough.

Scalls: Whatever Scotty, who you duping this week.

Devil: Grr... Eppy for my Greed Child JD. I need you to set up a Hooka session with Eppy.

Scalls: That is easy, just gotta get to Aingee first, he's a sucker for the stuff.

A Few Days Later

Scalls: Guess what I have for you Danny.

Danny: Um, your man sausage.

Scalls: Not this time.

Danny: Damnit, I need a little lovin right now, Doc's not getting it done, he's turning into a raker.

Scalls: [Shutters] Uh, uh, no Danny it's time to get stoned.

Danny: Yippy, yippy, wait what do you want? Last time I did this I gave you a 15 million dollar contract.

Scalls: Oh nothing Danny, just want to congratulate you on the success of the Celtic franchise since you took over.

Danny: [Stares Puzzled] Ok.

A Few Hours Later

Danny: Haha, I want cookies, and coffee cake, and oooooh Chicken Salad yes Chicken Salad.

Scalls: I need you to set up a meeting with myself the Devil and Eppy.

Danny: Oooh the Devil I loved him, he reminded me of, um, um, I want a cookie, and chicken salad.

Scalls: So you're gonna get that done right?

Danny: Anything for Chicken Salad.

Following Week

Eppy: Hey Satan, you enjoy our bid for Matsuzaka?

Devil: [Mumbles] Man was that stupid, I didn't even have a hand in that bid. This guy should be easily duped.... Oh yeah Eppy great decision, really smart.

Eppy: Yo Scalls, whats up.

Scalls: Let the mind bending begin.

Devil: [Whispers Continuously] 70 million for 5 years

An Hour Later

Eppy: Um, ya I'm gonna need more Gange, some take home, and Chicken Salad before I sign JD to that contract.

Devil: [Whispers Continuously] JD is a great player, 70 million is cheap.

A Few Hours Later

Eppy: Ok, I'll make that deal, but not until I get a years supply of Chicken Salad, and a box o' weed.

Scalls: Ainge took a lot less effort.

November 9th

Scalls: Eppy here's your package. [Hands him box o' weed]

Devil: Sign, here, and here, and here.

Eppy: That last ones for my soul.

Devil: Damnit, Ainge fell for that. Had to try.

JD: More, more, more, more, hey how come he got the chicken salad.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
