Rutgers and Pedro

So now that the Rutgers season is over (you lost to Fresno State, 9-1 ain't happening and you'll still have lost to Fresno) let's see how this craziness with stadium expansion continues.

They spent an extra $300,000 to get the luxury boxes ready in time for yesterdays game (wow, a late construction project in NJ with cost overruns. Who knew?). They've paid this coach a ton of cash to stay, cash that probably could have paid for some of the 'minor' sports. Then again NJ is flush with cash so what's a few million for a football coach.

They still hope to add 13,000 more seats. I know Rutgers was trendy for two weeks two years ago, but this is crazy.

Let's see how many Rutgers fans there are when the team is 5 and 5 before they go assing seats. I bet you that folks find other things to do.

Meanwhile in Flushing, the Mets have allowed Four Inning Pedro to leave the team so he could work out with his personal trainer. What??? Did Pedro hear it was going to be nice beach weather on Long Island this week? Does he have his fantasy football draft? Pedro being Pedro as always means Pedro being about Pedro and not about the team.
