Not unlike how the Mets try to buy a championship for the last 5+ years, right? The METS have bought many players

Martinez
Wagner
Beltran
Rodriguez

I'm going to laugh even harder when you finish 3rd in the AL East in 2009. :D

You do realize that we are ahead of the Red Sox, and probably past the Rays as well, right?

We may have finished third last year, but atleast we didn't fold like a chair for two straight years in September

Sobriety, rationality, common sense, and logic.

I hope they get Manny too just for the heck of it.

Because they don't run their ballclub the same way the league shop-vac down in the Bronx does.

Because the Angels aren't a top flight organization, apparently. They'll pay for Tori Hunter and Gary Mathews Jr., but not the guy that made them the favorites to win the WS last year (Tex).

Yessssssssssssssssss!
