I want whatever will make A-Rod opt out of his contract but not be too expensive for the cubs.

In that case I'm rooting for him to go 0-for-the playoffs and get booed out of the stadium.

They have the starting pitching to do just that. I hate the Yankees so the Indians have my vote. Go tribe!

As a Grady Sizemore fantasy owner, I was a little disappointed in his 2007 season. I thought he would take the final step to superstardom this year, but he didn't. I say, Sizemore has an amazing series and becomes a household name with the Indians taking the Yankees to 5 games.....but losing despite Grady's heroics.

 

As for ARod. I dont' know what's best. If he has a huge series and the Yanks win it all, he may opt out just because his value would be thru the roof. If they lose and he doesn't do anything, then he probably gets run out of town. As long as there's not a happy medium, I think ARod becomes a free agent (biggest oxymoron ever).

[jaxxradio]

The Yankees haven't seen Sabathia since 2005, so I am cautiously optimistic that CC gets it done tonight at the Jake.

 

Having said that, if the Tribe doesn't win tonight, I don't think they will win this series (as a life long Indians fan, I hate saying that). I love Carmona, but down one with a veteran post-season guy in Pettite would be a potential recipe for disaster.

 

GO TRIBE!!!

Are you saying you would like to trade Sizemore to me?

Yep, as soon as you trade for Arod or Pujols.

I wonder when Torre will pull Wang.

[E.J.]

I couldn't care less about this series. I wish this game was at 10 and our game was at 5:30. Go Indians.

It's Chip, Brenley, and Tony Gwynn. Stoney is doing the Red Sox series.

[Careless]

I was really confused for a couple of seconds when I heard brenly.
