time to pull the trigger on a Colon for Jacobs deal

Ralph Wiggum would be a better GM than Dayton Moore

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

When you've been cut by the Royals and Mets

It’s probably time to consider a career change.

Yeah, this is probably just about it for Jake

He might manage to hook onto one more team this season, where he will play badly and get cut after two weeks again. Doubtful that he’ll be in the league next year. May he go in peace and live happily ever after, far away from the Royals’ roster.

It's pronounced Poo-ZHOLS in Catalan.

If he is motivated

he can probably find a job in AAA, preferably in the PCL where he could put up some big numbers and wait for a MLB club to notice.

Of course, he might not be motivated to do so.

Can we trade Betancourt for him?

Please don't mention

Jacobs again, it makes me think of Nunez and then I get a very hollow feeling in my gut.

Jacobs can now sit outside his lavish home, chew wood and laugh and at the fact he's made over a million dollars

sucking @ baseball.

I'm Sure He'll

Be forever to GMDM. He probably has his picture on the mantel over his fireplace.

but honestly

If I was him, I would invest the 2-3 million I have left (hopefully more) and just live moderately well. Buy Govt Bonds/Money Market Funds/CD’s, etc and just live off your interest

I would seriously just wake up every day and laugh my ass off on how bad I was @ baseball and the MILLIONS I made!
