Sad news about Piper... Re: the Wrestling mentions above, didn't Cyndi Lauper and Capt. Lou have as much to do with the explosion of the spectacle as ANY of the wrestlers themselves? Lauper's video featuring Albano, and Piper too I think, helped introduce a whole new generation to the madcap escapades of the Wrasslin' Leagues...

Dodgers sign Jason Schmidt! I'm shocked...and I take back almost all of the stuff I said about McCourt...almost all! Clocks still ticking loudly on Bostons' deal to sign Matzusaka.... Folks: teach your boys how to throw a baseball...the money for pitchers is ridiculous! Looks like Barry's going begging to the meeting,cuz noone is meeting the asking price of 18mil....dudes' got a big head if he thinks he's worth that. What up with Manny? Bostons' deadline for a trade passes...but I dont think he makes it to Spring in a Bosox uni!

You talking about Zito or Bonds cause I think what you said could apply to either of them. Boras is looking silly with his claims that he is getting all sorts of offers for $100 million when no one is even offering close to that. It's worked for him before though so we'll see if anyone falls for it. As far as Bonds there is no way anyone is going to pay more than $14 million for an injury plagued DH. Manny will stay with the Sox as long as he is going to require any team that trades for him to pick up the two year option on his contract. At 2 years $35 million he has some value but at 4 years $75 million he doesn't, especially if the Sox think they are going to get someone of value for him. Manny for Peavy rumors were one of the funniest things I've read this offseason.

Sniper: you hit the nail on the head!.....staying healthy in LA. Schmidt will have a more potent offense than he did in Frisco,so that bodes well for him. 14 mil is about all Bonds should expect. Mannys' bat is the real deal....let's say he goes somewhere he is really happy to be....Maybe he hits like the old Manny. I like the guy, but the drama in Boston..should be left in Boston!

Also the Dodgers are now thinking Pierre leadoff and Furcal 2nd. I don't think 2003 Marlin revival will work here.
