[Tournament] 2008 MLB season discussion

I genuinely like A-Rod before this week, I really did. Now, he just seems like a dick. A scummy, horrible dick.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There is no team that is better off without Santana. That's ridiculous.

I mean, they'll do just fine without him, but if you honestly think they'll be better you're kidding yourself.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, you're really going to have to watch out for the Mets this year with Santana, not to mention that Pedro's been looking pretty sharp so far this spring.

With lesser players, this would probably be true, but with a starting pitcher as dominant as Santana coming to an offense like Boston's, I don't think there could be a downside.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I didn't say the Sox needed him, but you have to admit that as good as they are, they'd be even better with Santana in the lineup.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I woke up at 6 to watch the game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's not like the first month and a half of the season really tells you anything, anyway. I mean, the Orioles were almost perfect going in to May last year, and look how they ended up.

How ya doing, buddy?
