I was only messing around anyway…who cares about a stupid open thread tonight? Those are gay.

I mean its the ides of March and its about time we start talking about our payroll…
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
"About $42 Million"
I ought be be getting mighty drunk for free sooner or later.

Check this out...
From Bill Center. (I know, I know.)
The Padres are projecting a final payroll of about $42 million for the 2010 season, although the payroll for the 25 players on the Opening Day roster could be closer to $38.5 million.
Damn those contract incentives!
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I know.
Was the bet opening day payroll? Or final payroll?
I’m cool either way…one way or another we’re having drinks.
When was this bet?
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Not sure exactly.
But it was right after Moorad was spouting off about the payroll starting with a 4….
I’m already buying the first round after the GM bet we made…BUT
I’m willing to double-down if you are. Opening Day payroll will NOT start with a 4.

"opening day payroll"
Depends on your definition of opening day payroll. Either way drinks is right. Pick a stadium, any stadium.

9th pick in the draft
Cost the Tigers $4.7 million as well. I count that as part of the payroll for 2010 as well. I don’t know if Center is using that in the payroll projection.

60th pick
Is ~$600,000.

this has been confusing all along
I too have a bet on the line, with Sam, I believe. I recall the bet was regarding the major league payroll, which is the 25-man roster. What’s that figure exactly? Of course the payroll for the whole franchise will exceed $40 mil. Can I get a third-party arbiter to step-in on the issue?
This numbers crunchin business ain’t for me.

I can rule on this one
as a degenerate gambler and alcoholic this one is in my wheelhouse.
The bet will be decided by Opening day Payroll, that is the 25 man roster + IR +DL. Incentive bonuses do not count.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
well Sam...
since this arbitrary 3rd party ruling seems to be in my favor, I say we just call the bet off, since this is so damn confusing anyway. And I’d I’ve gotta say, if I was in Vegas, I would definitely bet on the Aztecs to the beat the Vols on Thursday
