Edgar Renteria says $1 million not enough...

Given the fact that the unemployment rate keeps flirting with 10%..... this kind of sickens me.
ORLANDO -- Edgar Renteria understands the best part of his major league career is over and baseball is a business, but he still hoped for better treatment from the San Francisco Giants after helping the team to the World Series in October.
San Francisco offered a one year, $1 million contract to the 2010 World Series MVP.

“
That offer from the Giants was a lack of respect. A total disrespect.
”
-- Edgar Renteria
"That offer from the Giants was a lack of respect. A total disrespect," Renteria told ESPNdeportes.com Thursday from Colombia.
"To play for a million dollars, I'd rather stay with my private business and share more time with my family," he said. "Thank God I'm well off financially and my money is well invested."
Renteria, 34, had suggested he might retire after 2010. He was on the disabled list three times and played 72 games for San Francisco.
But the shortstop played strong defense and hit .412 with two home runs and six RBIs against the Texas Rangers to lead the Giants to their first World Series title in 56 years and the first one since moving from New York to San Francisco in 1958. His three-run homer against lefty Cliff Lee in the seventh inning of Game 5 buried the Rangers.
San Francisco declined a $9.5 million option for 2011 in Renteria's contract. The Giants then signed shortstop Miguel Tejada to a one year, $6.5 million deal.
"I have received at least another offer since I was a free agent, but it wasn't what I'm looking for to continue playing," Renteria said. "If I got a good offer, I'm playing, and if not, it's better to stay at home."
Renteria didn't expand on the other offers and did not say if he would return to San Francisco if the club improved its offer.
Renteria is a five time All-Star, has a .287 career average, with two Gold Gloves and three Silver Slugger awards. He has played 15 seasons with Florida, St. Louis, Boston, Atlanta, Detroit and San Francisco.

This is stupid to talk about. Bama won the fricking game.
It's not stupid, the 4 year starting QB/heisman candidate didn't play!

a heavy majority of the nation thinks Bama would have won the game with or without McCoy's injury.
But more think Texas would've won with McCoy...
either way, an 18 year old freshman QB put up 21 pts...

Ratings will be huge. Most exciting player in football...
The only issue is that people may already be writing us off as clear winners, whereas last year it was a toss up. Thank God for Colt's shoulder or the SEC would have lost last year.

Read the post again. I love Auburn too much to ever change my team symbol or avatar on this board. You guys do it with ease which means you're not true fans and you don't love your school as much as I do.
Please cheer for Oregon... please, please do. Like I said, if you could read, I could care less if you pull for Auburn, that's not my point. I don't get how people randomly switch their teams on here like its nothing with zero pride for their school. Like many did when Auburn played UGA and switched it to Georgia and Bama played Texas and people switched it to UT. Guess its cool to do that and I'm not very hip. LOL, have a great day!
