how the fuck did the mets get all this money?
it like, came out of nowhere....pedro, beltran, now manny? damn...

but ortiz aint overrated one bit
hes a great player, period.
sure, if he was in minesota...his RBI numbers would probably be a bit lower, but be real...they wouldnt be halfed
minesota is a good team as well, not the same offense as boston, but a solid offense..
now if he were on say the Royals, his numbers may be dramatically different...(still over 100 RBI's) but going to the Royals is carreer suicide for any player

ortiz isnt overrated
sure hes got the rest of boston to hit in adding to his RBI's...but you know just as well as i do not anybody can come through in the clutch like him...

NO....that's how big the impact of SOx and YAnks have.Aside from always winning...that's the reason people want in their teams.Ortix's # would have been a lil above half.Maybe 85-90 rbis and 25 hrs..He wouldn't have 40 hrs and 150 rbis in Minesota.

AND why mets got all that money
...It's ny...biggest fanbase.Everyone go to they games even when they losong.ANd one reason they can take manny without worrying..is cause Piazza's 17 mil/yr. countract will be expired at end of season

^^true as far as the mets shit goes
but i dont think ortiz's stats would be 90RBIS and 20hrs in Minesota...but we could go on for ages about those and never really get a real answer so w/e...
anyways, im off to bed...if i feel like arguing a bit more over ortiz in the morning ill holla, lmao
peace
