Ho-hum, the Mets lost again. Aaron Cook went the route, and some guy named Seth Smith, which I don't think is his real name, hit a three-run homer off John Maine as the Rocks won 4-1. Yeah, call me when I care. If the Mets aren't going to give a rat's ass, why should I?
We're back in Shea to play the first-place Marlins, who have a payroll of about $22 million dollars. There are homes out here in Oahu that cost more. That $22 million figure counts the $6.3 million that Jacque Jones was making when he was a Tiger, which the Tigers are actually paying. The Marlins signed him to a minor league contract, which means they are paying the minimum. This means that the actually payroll that Jeff Loria is paying is about $16 million. The Mets payroll? It's $137 million. Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and Johan Santana are each making the same or more than the Marlins are spending for their whole team. Luis Castillo is making $6 million! That's a bunch for guy who can barely hit it out of the infield and has a .675 OPS. Let's bat him second!
Fuck it, I'm playing golf again today. I'll check back to survey the carnage when it's over.
