Yeah, thumbs down Marky Mark. (via i9.photobucket.com)

"Mark Teixeira poet and a prophet
Mark Teixeira taught me how to off it
Mark Teixeira walkin' like he talk it
Goodness me can't you see I'm gonna cough it

Give him away, give him away, give him away now
Give him away, give him away, give him away now
Give him away, give him away, give him away now
Ooh... Ooh yeah
Give him away, give him away, give him away now
Give him away, give him away, give him away now
Give him away, give him away, give him away now ... to the Nats"

I'm sick of it. Just end it, please. Let him sign with the Nationals and let us continue with Kevin Youkilis and Mike Lowell in the middle of the lineup. Let's save the money, make some signings and think about 2009.

How sick and tired are you of this mess?

Very. I'm ready to go to Texas myself and sign the contract with my own blood

I live for this! There's only one December!

Boston is getting buried in snow. I wonder if this is affecting negotiations at all.

LOL!

I voted the same way. "DO I LIVE FOR THIS? …uh,no. However, I live in D.C. and I think the D.C. / Easter Virginia and Wesern Maryland casual baseball fan would definitely love to have a high profile and consistent bat here with the NATS. Even though I’m a true blue (and orange) METS fan, I’ve got a place in my heart for the NATS because I was here for the inaugural season. So, I guess you could call me somewhat of a plank owner. (Coast Guard term for being involved with the beginning.)

Also, all of this acquisition talk forces me to get into the nuts and bolts of baseball minutiae and as a result, makes me (hopefully) a better blogger and better fan of the game.

Can I sign with Lugo's blood?

No, you can't.

Trying to sign anything with Lugo’s blood is a recipe for disaster. After you broke his skin, the blood would burn through your knife, the pen, the contract, the floor, the crust, and the subterranean land of the ~~mole~~ Eckstein people.
