0-7 now. He just got beat by the mighty Pirates. That contract is a train wreck. I actually feel bad for the Giants.

You have to be into the strategy and appreciate the mind aspects of it. Obviously, you lack the brain power to appreciate something like that. Go back to watching American Gladiators.

ROFL dude he had a good playoffs.... but c'mon he sucked for the entire first 2/3 of last year.. I'm glad he had a nice playoffs and is off to an OK start this year, but he's one of the ones that are grossly over-paid... He caught a lot of heat in Boston last year for teh suckage..

The Chicago media was riding both the Cubs and Sox for not signing Zito with the sick money deal the Giants pissed away...seems the media makes no mention now about it.

When Hampton was a free agent, the Cubs were torn apart for not siging the badly needed lefty. Hampton should be in prison for felony theft for what he has stolen from the MLB teams since he signed that contract.

Scary to think how much Puljos will comand if hacks like Giambi, Sexton, and some of the other over paid vets are getting.

Hampton should do some chores and work around the MLB offices, cause he sure as hell isn't earning his money pitching. Then again, he'd probably break a rib reaching down to pick up a piece of paper from the floor.

At least Giambi has had a good career. Sexton is a joke. He was a dud the 1 year in AZ

The key word is "had".

Since the Yankee's signed him, for the money, he is a BUST.

maybe getting off the HGH or steroids caused it, but since he left Balco..I mean the A's, he's an average hitter, shitty fielder at best.

For sure, Im not trying to justify his ludacris contract, but at least the Yanks had somewhat of a justifiable reason to make that stupid mistake. Sexton has been a injury prone wash out his whole career, with a few bright spots.
