Scott Boras: "Waah! Waaaah!  Waaaaah!"

Scott Boras rips Mets, Cubs, Astros

"Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!"

"The Mets are like NASA," Boras said. "They have big rockets, a lot of platforms and very few astronauts. Astronauts are hard to find. They've got one guy with the 'Wright' stuff, that's for sure. And they've got a lot of Arm-strongs, too. But they're certainly a club that I'm sure that's in pursuit of a higher level of talent."

"Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!"

The Cubs were 15th in payroll this year at about $101 million. Boras said the Rickets family, which bought the team four years ago, has put too much emphasis on the redevelopment of Wrigley Field and not enough on major league payroll.

"Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!"

"You're developing the infrastructure, but fans don't come to see seats, grass, cement. They come to see players," he said. "They've done a great job in the draft and development and they've got a really good core of young players coming, but it is just not what's expected when you have a (family) buy a major-market club."

"Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!"

"The Astros," he said, "they're like Disneyland. If the kids come, it's a great attraction."

"Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!"

Actually, he probably does make a good point here and there, but I just like writing "Waah! Waaaah! Waaaaaah!" whenever Boras' name comes up.

Oh, and this probably should have been a fanshot, but I didn't want Daver to miss it...
