ANAHEIM, Calif. - Boston’s Animal House has found its Bluto.



The Red Sox reached agreement with volatile lefty David Wells on Saturday to bolster the rotation and join the frat house full of “idiots” who rebelled against baseball tradition and won the team’s first World Series title since 1918.

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said the team won’t comment on any deals until the players pass their physicals. But a baseball source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that the 41-year-old Wells will get $8 million guaranteed over two years with incentives that could bring it up to $18 million.

Wells gets a $3 million signing bonus and a salary of $2.5 million a year. In addition, he would earn $200,000 per start from 11-20 and $300,000 per start from 21-30.

.......

Wells missed three starts in late May and early June after tripping over a bar stool at home, knocking a bottle of wine onto the floor and landing on it and a glass he was holding. He severed a tendon in his right wrist, requiring surgery, and cut his left palm.



hehehe...41, and still fat. But rich.

Seems like a perfect fit for the Sox.

I haven't been paying attention since he left the Yankees. How did he fare in the NL the last season(s)?

I'll say this for him... he knows how to work those incentive clauses.

you gotta get a whelk in there...

[basom]

a virtual plethora of spiritual iconography. and yet, still room for a bukkake spewing mollusk. amazing.

[mildbill.]

isn't the egyptian fertility babe that's signalling that the kick of rainbowhead between the shoulderblades of the guy making out with himself was good spewing bukkake from her knees? or am i misinterpreting that?

[basom]

i think that interpretation can be proved as valid.

to my way of thinking the knees often are a source of pain, and inspire bukkake like wrath. however in all my years as an iconography expert i have never seen bukkake portrayed as ice blue in hue. generaly, in southeast asia and inner mongolia it apears more organic in coleration.

an interesting take on the imagery, young bill.

[mildbill.]

i have never seen bukkake portrayed as ice blue in hue.

well, you have to figure most bukkake to be 'hot' bukkake.

in the world of outer space: cooler stars are reddish in color, moderately temperatured stars, such as our sun, are yellow, and the hottest stars are blue.

i figure, bukkake spewed forth from a fertility goddess would be pretty damn hot. so hot, it could be blue like a really hot star, even.

[basom]

to my way of thinking i like your thinking

Hey, look what I found

Just heard Pedro may have accepted an offer from the Mets earlier today.
At least he got his respect right
Why would anyone want to leave a championship team to play for a sub-par organization?

Sugarloaf was good this past weekend. 6+ Friday night which made for a great weekend.

for pedro. money=respect. sox will only pay market value, mets will pay more. hence wells at 3 mill and not pedro at 12 or 11 or whatever the mets are going to pay him.

[shamrockpow]

4 years, $56 million for Pedro according to the radio. Good luck Petey, it's been a good run in Boston and we wish you the best playing in the shithole known as Shea Stadium...

[basom]

4 years, $56 million ...

or 14 million a year.

he'll do well down there.

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

Smart call by Boston... Pedro ain't all that.

[Benny Profane]

Because he's getting old and the American league hitters know it, expecially his daddies. He'll have one or two great years in the National league pitching to a whole new crop of fools. And he'll make a lot of money.

This is very true. If Pedro takes this offseason seriously he could challenge for the NL Cy Young next year - just look how well Roger did.

[Benny Profane]

And don't forget how he shut down the Cards. But, hey, all your guys did that.
