    Dear Santana Clause,

    Take your sack over to Boston. They are so wanting to be just like the Yankees & only you can give them that gift. It will also make the low rent cheapass Twinkies feel like they are playing with big boys if they screw the NYY.

    Yrs.

    Just like they pulled out of the A-Rod sweepstakes...

    It's just a bargaining tactic (and a bad one at that).  Let the continued craziness of MFY owners continue!

Published 12/4/2007 by Jere at A Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory
Here's the latest ESPN article, which talks about the Yanks-Twins talks being in trouble. Read it and tell me what you think. The more I hear, the more it feels like nobody's gonna get this guy because we want to keep these young guys. It's the hip thing to do after all. And honestly, it's the smart thing. Oh, did you see Edes in Extra Bases do a Santana (Carlos) pun? So basic, so terrible. Nothing like mine about the pots. Granted, I had to look up the lyrics, but at least I didn't just say "Oye Como Va!" What kind of a pun is that? You're just naming a Santana song! ...
