There's always interleague play. :hehe:

Yeah, the Giants are seriously loading up on free agents. The ownership opened up their pocket book, they want to win. :woot:

Hmm, with the signing of Derek Lowe and re-signing of Eric Gagne, the Dodgers payroll is pushing the $100M mark.

Some playoff success and/or a championship better be forthcoming or some heads are gonna be rolling like melons down a steep hill. :sweat:

I am a huge Dodger fan and I am questioning some of the moves made. They have completely torn apart a team and better produce on the field or else I will not be gonig to any games this year.

JD Drew and Lowe are only minor parts of what they team needs. Starting rotation isn't exactly solid and the set-up men are still in question. Behind the plate is really scaring me. I hope the new kid they got is worth it because it seems like they are banking on him.

I really think Derek Lowe isn't worth the $$$ the Dodgers paid. He did awesome in the 2004 post season, but has been in steady decline.

Yea, he had that one really great year and then a solid year to back it up but then last year he lost his starting job but came through in the playoffs. You know what they say though, some people get rich off of the playoffs and Derek Lowe certainly did.

Speaking of rich, Clemens just inked an 18mil contract for one year! I know he's good but it's hard for me to see him duplicate the season he had last year. Although I guess if you look at it in the sense that he only made 5 mil last season which was a bargain so over the 2 years he's making 11.5mil so I guess that could sort of justify the huge pay raise. Nonetheless, let's go Jason Schimdt for Cy Young! :hehe: :hehe:

I hope you're wrong and the cash invigorates him. :sweat:

Ugh. I hope he gets hammered this season. Never liked the guy.

Those guys are still not done. They're trying to add Delgado too!

That's why they got him: to be a Giant-killer. :hehe:

Hey what do you think about Arizona? They've been making a lot of moves this off season. They did lose the bug unit but that team is looking a bit better too.

Yeah, they've made some big moves: Russ Ortiz, Troy Glaus, Shawn green, etc.... I think they'll deifinitely be more competitive than last season and will give the front runners some headaches...

Yea, and also in SD the Padres are bringing back pretty much the same team. I don't recall them making any big changes but not losing players keeps them competitive too. It's going to be a tough division.

Probably the toughest in the league. :sweat:

So is everyone rushing out to get the Jose Canseco Book? What a waste of talent. He had so mush potential and now he is just a joke tring to cash in by dishing on others. :shakehead:

<sarcasm>You mean the book is out already???</sarcasm> Now it makes wonder. How hard was that baseball that him on the noggin for the home run?

Needless to say, no, I am not rushing to buy this book....unless I need a door stop in which case I'll just go to ACE hardware.
