    The only way Tex stays in Atlanta is if he fires Boras just because that's where he wants to be.

    As a Braves fan, if he goes to the Yankees or Orioles, he goes. The Majors are littered with former Braves. The way he's playing right now, I'd take a couple of good young pitchers for him today. He has ended more innings this year than anyone on the team and has to be close to double figures on the number of double plays he's hit into.

    As a jersey-wearing Braves fan, if Tex signs with the Mets, I hope he catches a terminal case of crotch rot from adjusting his cup every five seconds and pulls a Mike Hampton on them.

    Never seen a guy adjust his nads every pitch quite like him.

    He'll be the highest paid Oriole ever. Angelos wouldn't let it happen any other way. Especially now that Mattingly isn't a Yankee anymore.

    Maybe they're in the way.

    Tex? My guess is he's headed to the bank of Angelos.
    C.C.? Sadly, I think he'll be a Yankee. I'd love for him to stay with the Tribe, but the Indians are looking starter-rich at the moment (unless they trade away some for a sorely needed bat). And the hometown discount is a myth. Who's the last guy to take fewer ducats to stay somewhere? I sure can't remember a top-tier free agent in recent memory doing it.

    Sadly, the ritual is not part of Teixeira's batting style on The Show.

    I think you've got quite the unhealthy obsession with this Nutty Buddy, Mr. Buckweaver.

    Not sure if anyone saw Kazmir "working on his junk" during the first couple innings against the Rangers the other night, but it was really bizarre. I mean, if I rub myself with as much vigor as he did, I normally cum.

    some balls are held for charity
    and some for fancy dress
    but when they're held for pleasure
    they're the balls that I like best
    my balls are always bouncing
    to the left and to the right
    it's my belief that my big balls
    should be held every night

    If Teixeira goes to the Mets, I'll perform the next song:

    My friend, that's not a song.
    It's a cry for help.
