Yea true. maybe all these colors are inspired by the old neon signs.
And the Dodgers are about to go for sale for maybe a billion dollars. Next owner has the money to pay for it.

No, they aren't. They're shit. But you know what? Props to them for going for it. They're clearly trying to evoke some weird 1980's Miami ultra-tacky pastiche and they're completely committed to it. It looks like crap but I respect them for not even caring.

Twins have officially re-signed Matt Capps. Lambtron on suicide watch.
One year deal with 2013 option. No money details yet.

Jayson Stark: If the Marlins sign Pujols, the Mets compensation for losing Reyes will be a FOURTH ROUND pick.

That's good news for the Mets. They can't afford to pay another 3rd round pick this year.

Twins GM Terry Ryan: "We're aware of the 9 blown saves. But we truly believe Matt will bounce back in 2012."

So was it Terry Ryan or was it Bill Smith who never actually left town? Are they the same person?
How about the massive dip in velocity and K/9, Terry?
It'll be easy to bounce back with the limited number of save opportunities he's likely to get I suppose.
I hope his entire contract is being paid for in cheese curds. Three boats of cheese curds from the State Fair Classics stand for every inning pitched. One bonus bag of mini donuts for every save converted.

Fans on Twitter are really understanding about the return of Capps:

I can't wait until the Brooklyn Cyclones trade rosters with the Mets this year.

They should just trade franchises entirely - Cyclones as the NL MLB team, Mets as the Single-A development squad.
MLB back in Brooklyn where it belongs, and on the beach!

Two more years of this.
Do you blame us?
It's only one guaranteed year. 2013 is an option. I'm sure it'll auto vest with a certain amount of saves.

Is that his former self in the background?
I'm still curious what the final contract details are, but I'm going to just go ahead and assume that shit'll vest or be picked up. He's a total Gardenhire guy. With no Nicky Punto, Gardnehire needs people to bowl with.
McCourt and Colletti seem determined to completely fuck the Dodgers on their way out of town.
3 million a year for Jerry Hairston Jr. 4.3 million a year for Mark Ellis. 5 million a year for Capuano. Likely another 5-6 million a year to get Harang.
How about we DON'T sign any of those guys, play some rookies, and at least make an offer to a premier FA?
I'd almost rather have Depodesta back in the front office.

Astros are telling teams they'd be willing to eat 50% of the remaining salaries on Carlos Lee and Brett Myers, but will not eat any salary on Wandy Rodriguez.
Lee and Myers are entering the final years of their contracts. Lee is owed $18.25 million in 2012. Myers is owed $11 million in 2012. Myers has a $10 million option for 2013, but the buyout is a whopping $3 million (nice one, Wade!).
Wandy is owed $23 million over the next two seasons, but his 2014 $13 million option becomes a player option if he's traded.

You can go to Hell.
So where will attendance be greater this year: Citi(41,800) or MCU(7,501)?

Better question: Will you win either the GAF trupclow or Jangocube Award in 2012?

No one will pay 9 mil for Lee.
7 mil for Myers might draw some offers.
Wandy 36 mil, yeah Yanks have a better chance to trade Burnett

It sucks being a Mets fan. I suspect attendance at that piece of shit Brooklyn Dodgers knock-off field will be circa mid-90s Shea Stadium levels.

I just got one of their new caps. The color isn't pink. It's orange with a small hint of red in it, much like the Dolphins orange.

Nationals are now the front runner for C.J. Wilson. They have offered 6 guaranteed years.
Marlins are having a second meeting with Pujols tonight.

Good luck with that one.
We're saving those for the panic contract Rollins will get from Amaro!

makes sense to me.
Bounce back from and to what, exactly? He was crap before he came to the Nats and he was crap after. And he wasn't even that good during.
I actually don't mind that. The age is a bit concerning though.
