Cents to a Dollar?

Yesterday's Recap
OK so what is it with this year's schedule that we have to face all the team we ran over to get to the World Series. First it was 6 games against the D-bags, then a series with the Padres, and then later this month we get 2 with Philly. I believe all these teams have circled these dates for retribution! Last night was another pathetic night at the plate...12 K's for the offensive. Bad enough that we had to play in the litter box that is Safeco Field but to help them with 12 whiffs is pathetic. Really I wasn't looking for a replay of last September...it's a long season but come on lets not bury ourselves this early!


Cents to a Dollar?
Last week Colin Cowherd, ESPN radio host, was rambling about how the government in their annual tax assessment lays it out on how our tax dollars are spent (the military gets like 45 cents!). Anyway he used this analogy for baseball teams (of course commenting on the fact that A-Fraud makes more than the entire Marlins team). So what about our Roxs? See below:
:

Yikes Helton makes about a fourth of the payroll...probably not a good thing. Other disparities, Viscaino (bad contract), Towers (#%&^) oops he didn't he make the team, and the bargain at six cents is Corpas, Baker, Barmes, Buchholz, Spilborghs, Nix, Jimenez, Iannetta, and Hirsch. Guess that shows the importance of a minor league...bringing up role players who can get the league minimum.
