Dear Santa: A Letter Sent By All 30 MLB Teams Fanbases

Remember when you were in grade school – and the teacher made you write a letter to Santa?  Well this is kind of like that, but I will write on behalf of the clubs in the MLB.

Houston Astros:  Can we have the opening day for the next 3 years in baseball – so that we can sell out at least one game?

Miami:  If Jeffrey Loria is nice for the next 4,000 years maybe can he not receive a lump of coal for XMAS this year? 

Can we also send the Real Estate Companies some nice computers to facilitate all the moves for the club?  Also send the player wives all a nice gift basket for the same thing?

Of course, if you just want to give the Marlins fans a new owner, than great!

Chicago Cubs:  Santa, this is a question already reserved for 2015, BUT can you make the prognostication of ‘Back to the Future 2 the movie’ real of the Cubs winning the World Series?

It will be the Cubbies beating Miami in 2015 World Series (yep probably 100 – 1 shot too)

The Mets Signing Colon To 2 YRs/$20 MIL – Is Just Par For The Course Of Insane!

PED use or not, Stem Cell technology, and who knows what else has aided Colon's body over the last 3 seasons of success.  Yes he was 18 - 6, with a 2.65 ERA - finishing 6th in AL Voting, however the A's went and paid someone else, and usually they are not wrong on guys.  The 40 Year Old from Dominican Republic, is also a gigantic man that decimated his hamstring during a PFP out in 2011 with NYY.  You have to think his lucky streak is numbered sooner or later.

PED use or not, Stem Cell technology, and who knows what else has aided Colon’s body over the last 3 seasons of success. Yes he was 18 – 6, with a 2.65 ERA – finishing 6th in AL Voting, however the A’s went and paid someone else to fill his spot (Scott Kazmir), and usually they are not wrong on guys. The 40 Year Old from Dominican Republic, is also a gigantic man who decimated his hamstring during a routine PFP  in 2011 with the Yankees. You have to think his lucky streak is numbered sooner or later.  Whether it is another failed drug test, or he blows out a ligament running anything down, or just has father time come down on him, signing this man to a 2 YR deal, for a team not probably contending in 2014, is downright absurd.

‘Stoking The Fire’ – Week 9

The Mets are like a gambling addict that has been clean for a few years, before suffering a serious relapse.

This club is just coming off a season where they doled out $18 MIL for Jason Bay (who they released – and still owe $3 MIL in 2014) and Johan Santana ($25.5 MIL and a $5 MIL Buyout for 2014).

These are guys that never played for you during the 2013 season.  Oh yeah…They still contribute annually to the Bobby Bonilla ‘liquor fund’ – thanks to a long restructured contract from many moons ago.

So now that they have altered their club to don a new era of “Strike out Champs”, they have gone overboard in throwing down a 2 YR/$20 MIL contract for a 300 LB PED user like Bartolo Colon.

“It Was A Little More Than Stem Cell Technology”
