Anything you can do I can do better....

So, it would appear that my frustrations have come a bit early. The Mets announced on Tuesday that they had signed Francisco Rodriguez, better known to the baseball world as K-Rod, for three years. Fantastic! Let Mets nation rejoice and the absurd expectations begin. Do not get me wrong, I love the fact that we have a closer and a good one at that. My problem is that the evil empire that is the Yankee organization announced it had reached an agreement to bring C.C. Sabathia to "the house that greed built." I have a theory that the Yankees just wait until the Mets break out big news to then one up them. It's like sibling rivalry...well if your sibling was a dick! Now I have to listen to all the band wagon jumpers proclaim world series victory before the ink even dries on the contract. To all those "fans" (and I use the term loosely), let me remind you of two things: 1) baseball is not played on paper. No one knows this better than last season's Detroit Tigers and 2) as Met fans clearly learned last season, one pitcher does not make a winning team
