The Chris Gonyea Project

As you can tell, I am doing some major changes to my web site. I am working on moving my entire blog from the old http://www.chrisgonyea.com/blog/ address to http://chrisgonyea.com/. Sounds like a small change, but it really isn’t. While doing this, I am also upgrading my entire site to WordPress 1.3 alpha 6 (December 20th build).

Please be patient while things change around.

Yes I am in the Firefox New York Times ad. Great job guys!

I never laughed so much with a commerical in my life New Sox Mastercard commerical.

I just heard about a hour ago that Pedro to the Mets was essentially a done move. The Mets were willing (or let’s say just plain crazy) to go to 4 years and well over 50 million to sign him.

I can’t say I am surprised by the move. That is a hell of a lot of money to give up. Not to mention, he gets 4 more seasons instead of 3 (Pedro has repeatedly said that he plans for this to be his final contract). I hope he is a class act at the press conference and hope he knows what he is getting into with the Mets.

To me, regardless of what just happened, Pedro is always a member of the Boston Red Sox. For 5-6 seasons he was as close to perfect that a pitcher could get. Spectacular. I don’t know how many late nights I spent watching a game because Pedro Martinez was pitching.

Sadly, I never had a chance to watch Pedro pitch in person. But I did seem him at the victory parade. A priceless moment I will never forget. Just like a priceless career Pedro has had.

Good luck Pedro. You are going to need it.

Update (5:08 PM EST): According to Boston Dirt Dogs, it is a done deal.
