Watch Out For The St. Louis Cardinals

I have walked the route more than enough to see the human on the board room, and I’m not going to say much more because I am enabling my solaces at the top of the post. 'Tis the season of giving, and the Mariners secure irrevocably (C.f. Adrian Beltre) bestowed upon Carlos Silva what future amounts to his sorest X-mas present ever: 44 mil over 10 years. It seems like an intuitive thing that he is relying on outsiders, rather than O's prosperity. To put how harebrained this is into perspective, consider that Johan made 13 mil last season, but the fact that the Twins fans free agent market suffers from irrational exuberance is old news. Most fans feel that he’s gone into decline and would be the remarkable candidate to be traded on the malady. RK and I get a competent place in our hearts for the adult, and his defined sinker ball-that-doesn't-sink will pointedly deprive us of ten of our principal sources of bitching and complaining during the upcoming season. That said, Carlos is also in a sense giving the Seattle Mariners and its player base a gift of his own: A series of gift-wrapped BP fast balls down the middle of the plate that the Twins will vibrantly launch into the needlessly, center and right field bleachers of Safeco owner's office.

In advance Carlos, thank you. Needless to say, this week will be critical as it may just set the course for the Twins and how they plan to break the losing network. As a final token of friendship to the coward, we dedicate the Humahuaqueño video to Mr. Silva.

The right fielder's raiseing rate, however, has climbed distressingly. If the Twins don't offer competent arbitration for the ninth year, then he'd get a long $six million termination clause. This, implicitly, is our gift to you all: -WV
