Mets fans raise money to buy out Oilver Perez’s contract

A sports fans worst nightmare is a major contract flop. The New York Mets signed pitcher Oliver Perez to a 3-year, $36 million contract, and Perez has not lived up to expectations. This past season, Perez was 0-5 with a 6.80 ERA (Earned Run Average). Perez even refused to be reassigned to the Triple-A, so the Mets could bring up another pitcher from the minors. Now, Mets fans are taking matters into their own hands and are raising money to buy out Perez’s contract. There is $12 million left on the deal. The fan in charge of fund-raising will be collecting money until February 13, when pitchers have to report for off-season workouts.

Video: Ryan Howard doing Late Show Top 10 List

Philadelphia Phillies Ryan Howard was on David Letterman last night doing the Top 10 List. The Phillies swept the Cincinnati Reds in the first round of the playoffs and open the second round tonight against the San Francisco Giants. No.2 is my favorite… but I do not like No.9

My sports pet peeve: Sports teams who adopt “Don’t Stop Believing” as “their” song

The San Francisco Giants are up two games to one against the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series. In an attempt to rally their team and fans, the Giants have adopted Journey’s song “Don’t Stop Believing” as their playoff anthem. The Giants are not the first sports team to claim the song as their own…. among other baseball teams in the past include the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox. Being from Detroit, I take extreme offense to team’s who think it is “their” song, considering the song was written in Detroit and even references the city in the song. Even putting my ultimate sports pet peeve aside, the song is out of control corny. The question remains… what are some of your sports pet peeves?
