We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Hahahah! I like that one too. I'm not sure how Jesus got involved with the Yanks, but clearly he is a front runner. This must be a t-shirt from the 80's.

Hey Jack! I bought you a beer at Solid Sound! Traitor.
And it was much appreciated too! ;D
I was born in Manhattan... I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who considers me a traitor.
Besides, I never had a Yankee invite me over to his house and give me a present worth several thousand dollars (long story) - I know where my bread is buttered.

^ I dunno how I feel about that. Sure it's Paul McCartney, but it's also in Yankee Stadium. Does this mean I have to sell my soul or something to enter into that place?

I love it. Great move for the Brewers (he'll be nasty as a set-up guy) which helps them in the crowded NL Central. Not to mention, it weakens my competition in my NL-only league (one guy just lost his top closer) and I managed to snag his probably replacement closer, making my team better. I love the trade deadline.
I disagree. Watching K-rod for the past 18 months, here is my stance:
K-Rod is an egomaniac. He's a great pitcher with possibly the best change in the game, but he's inconsistent and unstable (both mentally and physically). He also constantly has to put men on base to pitch well and just switched to superagent Scott Boras.
He's also a scumbag. Mets fans were dancing in Manhattan this morning, to give you an idea of the citizen that the Brew Crew just picked up.
And Boras is already starting controversy over who should close.

Got to agree with flanzo. K-rod is not worth the baggage in the long term. The Brewers probably think they can put up with him long enough to make the playoffs.

Well, to be fair, there is no "long term" with Krod & the Brew Crew. Krod fancies himself Mariano v2.0 and feels he should be compensated accordingly.

Can't stand him as a person. That said I love the move, for basically what Juggs said. The only way he'd get his $17.5 mil option picked up for next year is if he finishes 21 more games this season. If the Mets mysteriously moved him to a set-up role, the players union would file a grievance and probably win. Now that he's with a team that already has a good closer, it won't be fishy having him in the set-up role. He hired Boras within the last week, so he obviously knows he won't be getting that $17.5 mil and will want one last big payday. Hopefully that motivates him enough to do well.
Roenicke has been using Kameron Loe in high leverage situations against lefties with is just moronic, so at least K-Rod should be taking that "8th inning guy" role. Which is a stupid term/concept, but whatever.
Still waiting for a SS (and 3B, and lefty bullpen arm, and bench) upgrade, though. I've never hated a player (strictly baseball, not as a person) as much as I do Yuni Betancourt. Just fu*king awful all around. Coming in you know he'd be bad, and yet he's managed to "exceed" those expectations.
Well, Roenicke already said they'll split saves. This leads me to believe he'll ride the hot hand. As an Axford fantasy owner, I want that to be Axford. But $$$$ seems to be the ultimate motivator for Krod. I think he'll get dangerously close to those 21 closed games.
But the Brewers essentially got a free rental out of him. If the option vests, the Brewers buy him out at $3.5 mil, which is more than $1.5 mil less than the cash the Mets sent with Krod. It's a smart move risk-wise for the Brewers. I just don't think it's going to work on the field. Krod's ego won't let him be a team player and slide into a permanent 8th inning role.
EDIT: Turns out the Brewers got the Mets to cover the buyout next year, but not the option. Mets are giving Brewers over $6 mil if they chose to go the buyout route. That makes it a little bit better, they're basically getting a free rental unless the Mets catch lightning in a bottle with one of their "two players to be named later" which is unlikely.

16 inning shutout one night, give up 10 runs to the Orioles the next. It's the Boston way...
That and Baltimore pitching giving up 15 runs in a game. One would think that Angelos would spend some damn money on a bullpen, rather than journeyman sluggers.
