Mets played nice. I was surprised at some of Lester's pitching.
I don't know a ton about Dodgers politics, but was anyone surprised about the Greinke news about his contract today?
Well, i do know that people have been saying Greinke was going to opt out of his contract for awhile now, so I don't think it has anything to do with their early playoff exit.
Now I'm still not clear on the whole opting out thing... i know a-rod did it a few years back. I'm assuming it's part of the original contract they sign whether they want to renegotiate for a bigger contract a few years in, or if they're tanking just play the rest of it out? regardless, dude is about to get fucking paid.
As much as I'd donate a kidney to see him get signed by the Giants, I'm always weary of giving pitchers high paying long term contracts, especially those in their 30's. He seems like he'd be solid, but you never know when you're gonna get Johan Santana'd.
