Jets to win the East and Pats to fail to make the playoffs.

Mets to get Lowe

Gators to win the BSC Champ

To hit a Pick 6

Broncos to win the Super Bowl.

[meaiken]

Santa, if I can be somewhat selfish and ask for K Rod AND JJ Putz for my Mets...thank you Santa!!!

I think Darek Lowe would be a good fit in a Mets uniform, and a good price.

Closer for the Cardinals not named Izzy.

Dodgers & Manny Ramirez together forever ... or for someone to drop a bomb on the new yankee stadium

Don't want a terrisest attack but it would be nice if it just collopsed for some reason

My wish is that there would be more players like Mike Lowell who realize that happiness, success and being liked by your teammates is a lot more important than having their agent try to extort every last cent on the open market simply to inflate their ego and put a few extra unneeded dollars in their pockets to go play somewhere else when they already have more than they can ever spend in their lifetimes.
In this poor economy and in the interest of the fans, if there were some way to cap salaries and stop this out-of-control madness, I would enthusiastically applaud it.

I don't know how to break this to you but Lowell took the best deal he could get. Philly was sniffing around with him but nobody else really offered Lowell anything. If someone else trumped Boston, trust me, he wouldn't be here. If you want to talk about guys and state what you did, Wakefield would fit that profile to a tee. He doesn't even look at other teams and he takes DIRT CHEAP contracts ... year after year after year.

In all due respect, I distinctly remember reading last year that Lowell could have received more money with the Yankees and perhaps another team but turned it down to stay in Boston.
He even admitted in so many words that his happiness in Boston was more important than taking more money.
You are quite right regarding Wakefield.

savage, The Yankees had no need/place for Lowell. They were simply trying to drive the price up for Boston and those talks were never serious and NY never even offered him a contract. As far as the other team goes, the only one i heard about was Philly and they ended up balking in the end because of his age and injury issues.
