JJ vs. JJ.
Personally I think JJ > JJ, but JJ is good too. I think JJ will pitch a good game, but JJ might not.

well there are two of them.

they each have five new maps. some of the maps are old ones from MW1, and the others are new. if you played the old games, they brought back bailout, vacant, crash, and one more of which i can’t remember the name.

like i said below, to me, it’s worth it because i got bored with the old maps. there are also some new maps that are pretty cool.

You know

Because D. Lowe signed with us instead of the Mets, they get Ollie Perez. I feel that’s the one redeeming part of the D. Lowe deal thusfar

Well Perez is under contract for one less year, and he’s making $24MM over the course of the deal.

At this point, I’d much rather have $9M left to Perez than $26M to Lowe.

Same here...

but that is only because we have starters that could make Perez the highest paid player in AAA. If you actually had to have one of the two in your rotation for the contract, I’ll pay more for Lowe.
