Poor, poor Alex Rodriguez, stuck in Texas for $25 mil a year. Who woulda thunk that signing that contract was such a dumb idea? It's not like the Rangers have always kind of sucked and that Dallas is not a baseball city. And who would have figured that if you pay one player that much money it's going to be that much harder putting people around him to play.

Hope you're happy spending the rest of your seven years of that contract stuck in one of baseball's Nowhere Land. You deserve what you get, A-Rod. Suck on it, baby.

And way to go Red Sox. You guys were seven outs away from getting to the Series, seven outs you should have gotten if it weren't for the fact that Grady Little was maybe the only person on the face of the planet who didn't realize Pedro should be taken out. So what do you do? You get Schilling and Foulke- good moves, but then you screw it all up by some pie-in-the-sky, doesn't-make-that-much-sense-signings that'll gut the heart and soul of the team if it went through, piss off a whole lot of people if it didn't go through. It's like some guy whose got a perfectly good relationship with a nice, reasonably attractive gal only to dump her for a few weeks so he could pursue some super-hot woman who would only break his heart no matter what.

If you guys don't win the next couple of years, you got nobody to blame but yourselves. Sometimes curses are real, sometimes they're caused by stupidity.

On the other hand, at least your trying. Right now it's looking like a long summer in Pac Bell Park (or whatever the hell it's gonna get called next year).
