final Lee vs. Gonzalez post for northernsails
2009 salaries – Lee $13.2mm, Gonzalez $3.1mm – sportscity
2008 salaries – Lee $13.2mm, $875k mySA
Lee with better defense, Gonzalez with MUCH better hitting and MUCH lower salary. If you’d rather have Lee, you’re either dumb or sentimental, because Gonzalez is objectively better.

Gonzales will take a step out of the dugout
and Lilly will just stare at him. Gonzales will flinch, and ask to be called out.

here i am thinkin there was a hurricane headed for Chicago and then i turn back to comcast on accident to hear Len say it’s a FOUR AND A HALF MINUTE RAIN DELAY?! are you kidding me?
and then of course the Cubs staff just continues to refuse to pitch around Gonzales and all of a sudden we got a game on our hands. wacky wednesday
