Billy, Just tell us the truthFollow

For those who don't follow sports, Billy Wagner is one of baseball's top closers who was a Philly and is now a Met.

While I would love to have Wagner back in Philly, I completely understand why he signed with the Mets. They offered him far more guaranteed money. Simple as that. Who can blame him? Who wouldn't sign with the company offering the most money, especially when the difference is millions of dollars. There are very few people out there who would take a major pay cut to do essentially the same job somewhere just out of some sense of loyalty or something like that.

OK. So just say that. "The Mets offered me a hell of a lot of more money, so I took it". That's all you need to do. Why do ball players feel they have to lie about this?

"It wasn't the money... I felt this was the best chance for me to win a championship... I love the atmosphere of this place... My family feels most comfy here... It's all about team not myself" ********* It's the money. Just friggin admit it! When Joe public leaves his old job for a new one, he usually brags to his friends about how much more he is making. Why can't ball players do the same thing?

Repeat after me. "It's all about the money." There, that's better. That wasn't so bad now was it. Now let's play ball.

Shouldn't you be reading Debalic a bedtime story now?

No, I don't follow baseball.

Don't care much for baseball.

But how come the NCAA's leading rusher is getting ignored for Heisman? Jerome Harrison should be at the ceremony. Reggie "The Push" Bush is way too overhyped.

Alla mad.....ALLA SMASH!

Sorry Alla but when I read that I pictured you as some guy walking into an existing conversation and spitting that out. Of course, around these parts I guess it's like Bill Gates walking into his own living room and doing it, so carry on master. Smiley: lol

I thought this was going to be about Clinton. Then I realized it was 8 years after when I was thinking it was.

Alla, I think they're supposed to say that, even when it is not true, otherwise they come off sounding like Terrell Owens. I'm just glad the Phillies were willing to part with Thome, as he is now on the White Sox roster.

Because Baseball is supposed to be a moral sport. The whole "moral sport" rhetoric is why people are complaining about the use of steroids in baseball more than any other sport.

and while were on that note, how much muscle does it fu[b][/b]cking take to run a few hundred yards and hit a ball with a stick? I mean, Babe Ruth is the most out-of-shape athlete I can think of, and he kicked a lot of ***! Kids these days I tell you!
