I thought it was $24 over the next two years, including the buyout. I think Cot's recently updated - it's $23.5 over the next two, plus the buyout. So the savings are actually a scant $4.5 million.

Pa-fucking-thetic.

In your rush to be wonderful...again...you were WRONG!

And smug.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Uh... it turned out it was WORSE than I (and several other NEWS publications) thought. Care to try again?

(how's that for smug?)
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

HA! I don't believe it...you still got it wrong.

Unreal.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You are aware that several of the publications - including Cubs.com - are still saying that the salary relief is $6 million, right? That it took me a double-take to figure out that it's actually closer to $5 million is just fine with me.

Which, again, is worse than $6 mill.

Ace...you're wrong...SO wrong, and you're so committed to being right, that you just absolutely refuse to see it.
