A-Rod shook up my world today, and I'm sure yours (not that there are and of "you", I have no readers), too. The New York Daily News reports that A-Rod has agreed to a 10-year, 275 MM contract. They aren't the only ones, of course, that say this, they are just the ones I chose to use because of the article. Can you say overpaid? Not that he doesn't deserve it now, but there will be a day in age where he won't be hitting a baseball like it's the sears tower and he can't miss. I think this will be a great deal for the Yanks for the next 3 or 4 years, and then surely, his production will slow down to glacier speed. Well, actually, I believe he'll never have a season for the rest of his career where he doesn't hit at least 25 homers, but still, 27.5 mm for 25 homers isn't good enough.
Barry Bonds, too, shook up the town of San Fransisco, my town, your town, Bud Selig's town, Greg Anderson's town, and many other towns today, as he was inicted with 4 counts of perjury and 1 count of obstruction of peace. I've always been a Bonds fan, so I truly believe this will tarnish his reputation. Maybe he didn't know he was gaining 30 pounds a year because of 'flaxseed oil'. Actually, though, everyday I find it harder to back him up. That is just my observation.
Anyway, on to the Cubs news. Zambrano finished 5th in NL Cy Young award this year. He never had a chance. Nobody did- not when Peavy was striking people out, winning games and shutting teams run producers down. He won the NL Triple Crown for pitchers, and incredible feat. I congratulate him, although it would've been nice to see Big-Z win it.
