So THAT’S what a bullpen looks like…

…3 1/2 hitless innings, backing up Mr. Ace.

It’s been so long, I had forgotten what it’s like to have a lead in the fifth and keep it for the duration…

Hey, CC…

…nice performance yesterday.  You really earned that $161 million, didn’t you?

I find it incredibly amusing that a man who isn’t even half the pitcher (unless you’re counting the girth on his fat ass) Johan is has passed him for largest overall contract for a pitcher.

Have a nice six years, CC.

1)  What the hell is the point if the new place looks exactly like the old one?

2)  How the hell did this thing cost over a BILLION dollars?
