a broken bat
single

fourteen-thousand booing patrons to forget that ninety-two million dollars are still owed on a contract

I rather lose $50 than get $5 back of $100.
First of all, "I would rather...." Mr. Writer Man.
There's nothing I like more than someone who points out grammatical errors in an online chat. Well done, sir.

How much did the Angels pay for that 6.9 WAR, out of interest? You're placing your marker in a very strange place to make a point and I'm not sure why.

Yup. Fans came out of the stands too.

I didn't want that contract at the time, but I said, "it's not as bad as it looks because of the deferrals."

No, Lance, it's absolutely worse than it looks.
Kevin Brown - 7/100 in 1999. First 100 million dollar contract. I always thought this was as bad as they come but he actually had several good years after the contract.
Kevin Brown gave 27.4 wins over the life of that contract including three seasons over six wins.

That contract was pretty much a steal.
