February 2009

*squeal*

Phillies pitchers and catchers report today!  Yes, that's right, today--Valentine's Day.  Because baseball is love.  :)

What do you think 2009 holds for the reigning World Series Champions (it feels so good to say that)?  Which pitcher will get the fifth spot in a rotation that includes Cole Hamels (otherwise known as BILFy McBILF), Brett Myers, Jamie Moyer, and Joe Blanton?  Is it gonna be another year of the Phillies and Mets duking it out for first place in the NL East, or will Atlanta, Florida, or Washington suddenly get good and really get into the game?

THIS MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY JUST A LITTLE...

For all my fellow working stiffs out there--just in case you needed yet another reason to hate your job, now you can compare your salary with that of several baseball players, including BILFs Cliff Lee, A-Rod, and Mark Teixiera. 

I thought I made a pretty decent salary until I found out that I'd need to work 66.67 years in order to make his salary.  He makes my salary in just .46 games, 49.34 pitches thrown, 2.55 strikeouts, or .33 wins.  I think I might go cry now...
