So if Torre is out in New York...

I cannot be the only one who would savor the exquisite irony of the situation were A-Rod to come to SF and pursue the home run record...

I'll make a vow right here and now. If the Giants sign A-Rod, I will dig out my old Willie Mays #24 jersey and become a Giants fan again.
I'll buy #25 and send it to you then...

Um, where did the Giants get this "big money" from? Wasn't that the reason they had to ditch Bonds (besides the obvious 5,000 other reasons) because they had too much of their salary devoted to his slot?
With the money they overpaid Zito and would have to overpay A-Rod, I don't see them having enough money to fix the other holes they have to plug to get better.
Not that I care since they far exceed the Yankees as the team I despise with every fiber of my being. Replacing Bonds with Pay-Rod will keep hate alive. But I'm curious how they would be able to fit that salary in. I'm sure they want him, I just don't see how the economics fit.

A-Rod will cost more than Bonds, likely much more than they paid Zito.

Save me some time and yourself some money. Just send me a pile of ashes...
Forget A-Rod, he's not worth whatever it takes to get him. I appreciate what Barry brought to the team but I am glad that the Giants have the potential to be a "team" again without all the distractions of the most controversial player in the game. A-Rod is the perfect replacement if you want a me-first guy with his own set of rules to takeover Bonds recliner in the locker room though.
If he doesn't return to NY I believe the Angels are the frontrunners to get him. Plus his David Copperfield act in the playoffs will be right at home next to Vlad.

Yeah, I think I might save some time. Also, I'm thinking to buy you special glasses to wear to the AT&T, with left glass replaced with a patch. Just in case....

Oh, I wouldn't actually go to any games. That's way too much of a drive from here.
My brain must not be functioning tonight. What does the last part mean?

On the left field of AT&T there are lot of #25 and Bonds pictures. So I was trying to protect your eyes...
