Everything was exaggerated and false. Teams, sponsors, and fans felt rich and unstoppable. Now, we have to live with the poor decisions we made in those heady days. Not me, of course, I've never had any money.<br /><br />I see Rios was out of the line-up for Chicago. Maybe some lingering nasty injury will be revealed and he'll be out of baseball in a year.

He does seem like a good dude. A kind-hearted soul, if you will. It's not like he's an arrogant prick like A-Rod or a loathsome human being like Youkilis or anything.<br /><br />Unfortunately, he will always be tied to The Contract.

I read a page or two and then looked up to see it was 7 - 4. Yeesh!<br /><br />At this point in the year, with the Jays out of it, I start coming up with other things to hope for.
