Honestly i think that Citi Field in it's prior incarnation actually scared Jason Bay and got into his head.
We had guys who didn't go south though like Beltran, Delgado, Piazza, Olerud, Ventura etc etc.

Ummm......they are better than us on offense.
And I fkn hate them.
What the deal if ARod is out till July, would his salary count towards the cap while he's on the DL?
Yes, they get insurance relief but no cap relief.Quote:
