Jason Bay Is Heading To The Citi

The New York Mets have signed free agent outfielder Jason Bay to a four year $65 million dollars over four years.

The Mets are a mess. While it's true they needed a left fielder, what they needed more than that was pitching! How the Mets could just sit by while John Lackey was in the Free agency pool is inexcusable! Now who's the best Free agent pitcher on the market? Pedro Martinez? They already threw four years and $53 million dollars at him. While he was mediocre as a Met, he was Dynamite as a member of their archrival Phillies, helping them get back to the World Series!

The Mets need Pitching if they hope to catch up to the Phillies, or it will be another wasted year for Mets fans.

Red Sox Pull off another good Trade

Last Summer, the Red Sox finally finally got tired of Manny being Manny and shipped him off to the Dodgers while they traded for his replacement,Jason Bay.

This Summer, the Pirates dealt Nate McLouth to the Braves Nyjer Morgan to the Nationals, and have now dealt Adam LaRoche to the Red Sox.

For the Red Sox, the move is obvious insurance in case one of their players gets hurt. The Red Sox six starters in their rotation (five now that Daisuke Mastuzaka is on the DL) and now they get a first baseman to probably backup Kevin Youklis and it may move Eric Hisnke to full time outfield.

The Amazin' Rays are heading for a collision with the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox

The American League Championship Series features the team of destiny, the Tampa Bay Rays, against their division rival, the defending World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.

Friday Night, Game One starts. James Shields will be opposed by Daisuke Mastuzaka.

Home Field Advantage heads to The Rays. During the season, Tampa Bay won the season series against the Red Sox 10-8.

It seemed like Tampa Bay waited until late in the game to strike. I remember watching the September 10th game between these two teams on ESPN. Nobody Scored after the third inning. Eleven innings later, they were still playing baseball. Then, Carlos Pena stepped up and hit a Monster three run homerun to give the Rays a 4-1 lead. The RedSox would get a dacrafice fly in the bottom of the inning, but it wouldn't be enough, as the Red Sox won 4-2.

The Rays have this amazing ability to come back late in ballgames. They are never out of a ballgame until every out has been recorded.

Akinori Iwamura and Evan Longoria have been On Fire! Expect Boston to pitch to them carefully.

Jason Bay has been a solid replacement for Manny Ramirez, in the field and at the plate.

The Team Of Destiny versus the defending World Series Champions. This series will be awesome!
