It's a minor league deal, but given the state of the rotation these days, Sir Sidney may very well be in New York soon.
Which is probably a good thing. I had a case in Scranton a few years back. Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's not a ton to do in Scranton, so it's certainly not the kind of town you want to send a guy with anger-management and drinking problems.
This seems like where an Andy from "The Office" reference should go.
ReplyDeleteI guess his 10+ ERA from his short stint on the Yanks last year, coupled with his sparkling personality, made him a team favorite.
ReplyDeleteblech
Not that you're allowed to answer the question or anything, so it's just kind of rhetorical, but... what the heck were you doing in Scranton?
ReplyDeleteOh, and as for my expert analysis on this acquisition:
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
Client just got sued there. In recent years I've had clients sued in Peoria, Great Falls, Youngstown, and Mobile as well. They NEVER get sued in, say, San Francisco or Miami, or Seattle.
ReplyDeleteDumb clients.
Wow, Ponson and a Hard Rock Cafe moving into the South Bronx.
ReplyDeleteDo you think he gets the employee discount?
Dumb lawyer for working for the dumb clients ;).
ReplyDeleteDesperation at its finest
ReplyDeleteYeah, damn that whole feeding your family thing.
ReplyDeleteOh...my...&^%#$#@!!!!
ReplyDeleteDidn't they 'take a chance' on the Ponson monster once before? Wasn't that an absolute disaster (or close to it)?
What is the DEAL with the Yankees' prediliction for aged, overweight, ineffective, overpriced pitchers? I don't get it.
I mean...if we want an old fat guy on the mound, Boomer Wells is looking for a job (kind of). At least he has some, um, personality (and a perfect game, in Pinstripes).
