The excessiveness of New York

They say everything is bigger in Texas. Well, if that is true, than everything is a little more expensive in New York. So for those of you out there that, like us, are happy when you can save $2 on a pizza, here is a quote from an article on the acquisition of CC Sabathia by the New York Yankees:

"A preliminary agreement on a contract has been reached on a seven-year, $161 million deal. 'He's now excited about becoming a Yankee,' one source said."-ESPN.com

I think I would be happy to become whatever you want me to become for that kind of money, especially if I only work from April to October and even then only about 1-2 times a week. Any takers? Didn't think so.
