Tuesday night about 30 members of the Sox traveling party had dinner at Morton's in Cleveland, and Everett picked up the tab. You gotta figure at the very least that's a hundred bucks a person. I know he gets paid a lot, but try to get that kind of money out of Pippen's pocket. Kudos, Carl.

In case there was any lingering doubt because of those bastards in Boston, Carl Everett is one cool dude. He was by far the coolest guy at the fest.

Carl is a really cool guy...and the leader in that clubhouse!

60 dollar steaks 15 dollar sides being thats Morton's is al la carte, plus drinks. Thats a nice 3-4 grand tab. Just a small piece of his salary, probably just took it out of his hooker budget.

Even so, I doubt many of us would pick up the McD tab for 30 people.

Very cool gesture by Jurassic, who's quickly climbing my list of favorite Sox players.

GET A LOAN: Everett can't be accused of being selfish. The designated hitter picked up the tab at the team dinner on Tuesday's day off, and it wasn't just an ordinary tab. One estimate had as many as 30 members of the Sox traveling party dining in a private room at pricey Morton's Steakhouse.

I Crazy Carl.

Way to go Carl, I'm starting to feel stupid about disliking him in Boston now.

That's bulls*** to dismiss it as a trivial act. I'm not saying they aren't wealthy but people always forget to add in several factors. One is that their salary is pre tax. Carl doesn't make 4 million a year, he makes less by a significant percentage. Two, is the expense of life on the road. Clothes and food etc, surely gets very expensive. That's not to mention having to buy suits and food for younger players who make nothing. Lastly, every time they step into a bar or restaurant they are being judged on the tip. I forgot to mention that their career lifespan ends thrity years before yours and mine. I'm not saying that Carl can't afford to pick up the tab, but to minimize it is ingorant and wrong.

Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I guess that 3 million after tax doesnt seem like that much.

Besides, according to Baseballreference.com Carl has made almost 38 million dollars for his career before this year. I think he'll be OK retiring 30 years before I do.

Isn't food provided for the players at the stadium before and after games?

This was an off day.

Plus, don't forget the about 100 dollars per diem for meal money.

Whenever there's a dispute between an athlete and Boston, feel free to blame Boston.

This also applies for Philadelphia.

Outside of the whole bizarre dinosaur thing (which he has the right to believe what he wants), Carl seems like a decent and normal guy.

The bling he was wearing at the bar Saturday night at SF would have allowed me to retire 30 years early...

This was an off day.

I'm just saying, there's an expense taken care of for a large portion of the year.
