Don't get ahead of yourself man. I'll be happy for 45 wins and a playoff spot.

Congrats to Bernie and MJ for getting this done! Thanks for opening the wallet Bob!

Couldn't have said it better myself! Many thanks to go around. I'm proud of MJ for putting the pressure on Bob, and for Bob to have the faith in MJ to listen to him and spend the money (an incredible value!!). If it weren't for Bernie, GW wouldn't have been here in the first place, and probably wouldn't be the Crash that we know today! This is just phenomenal!!!! Rob Pelinka is my favorite Michigan alumn!! Plus, I get to keep my auto cards on display!! JUBILATION!!!!!

Regarding another thread, looks like I'm in the market for a Crash jersey!

I almost feel bad for Crash... that seems kinda low thinking back on it.
what an offseason!... get the scorer we need, resigned the players we need... all why not crippling ourselves cap wise.

Way to go Orlando, sign half the player for twice as much.

Agree, Must. I always thought GW was worth 12-13M per, basing that on the horrendous Lewis 15M per deal. I think it illustrates a couple of points:

1. GW really DOES like it here!
2. GW is as much of a class act as we perceive him to be. He doesn't want to cripple us cap-wise, so he takes less than he's worth. Being an Astros fan, the analogy I see is like the contract Bagwell signed in '95. He signed a "hometown discount" to stay in Houston, but we rewarded him with a bigger contract in '00 I think it was. I hope we do this for GW after this contract. It would be the classy thing to do, plus he'd be able to retire a Bobcat!
3. MJ has something cooking for next year with that extra money that wasn't given to Crash. That's right, Bob, don't get too comfy counting the money you saved on Crash just yet :P In all seriousness, though, Bob really has come through for us this off-season.

Here's the AP of the signing with a good Pelinka quote, and an awesome end of the article!!! Looks like we know where our money saved from the "hometown discount" GW contract is going, and I couldn't be happier!!!!!!
