Can you call the Mets stupid when the Red Sox were right there with them...almost? Apparently that feel good feeling of winning a World Series doesn't last too long. It's long been understood that in the Hispanic culture, their self worth is measured by the money they earn. It's a sign of respect. The Rangers lost Pudge and Juando over not showing them enough "respect". Pedro came to you guys for the money, why wouldn't you figure he'd leave for the same reason? You think he moved there for the skiing opportunities?
