Sidney Ponson and Other Weighty Issues

While watching the Yankees beat the Mariners last night it occurred to me that the Yanks were on one of those little rolls where you expect them to win night in and night out. It's a cool feeling. And yet it's quickly dissipating well before tonight's game. There's one very big reason for that and his name is Sidney Ponson.

Can you tell I hate this signing. HE LOST HIS JOB TO JEFF WEAVER. That says it all. You lost your starting role on the team to Jeff "Doobie Bros" Weaver. Then you wouldn't go to the pen so they cut ya. Brian Cashman you're doing a bang up job, but I'd like bang ya up side the head on this one.

I want the Yankees to win tonight, don't get me wrong, but it is really hard to root for this jackass. The Yankees will need to score runs tonight; that is for sure.

Rumors are flying every day concerning the Yankees need for an arm and a bat. They're called rumors for a reason. Most of this stuff is being ground out on a daily basis by sportswriter who are basing most of their speculation on other people's speculation. Just about every outfielder or pitcher has been rumored to be coming to the Bronx.

Bud Selig must be sitting back in his chair, rubbing his hands, and cackling like a mad scientist. Rumor has it that Barry Bonds will be indicated any day now for committing perjury before a grand jury. There is talk that MLB will immediately suspend Mr. HGH. Bud, you couldn't have sped the process up before he passed Ruth?

Leftists: great pitching match up between young left-handers Scott Kazmir of the Devil Rays and Francisco Liriano of the Twins. Too bad ESPN is showing poker for a change.

Phillip Hughes continued his progress at Double-A Trenton last night with 5 shut out innings. The Yankees are closely monitoring his pitch count in an effort to avoid the arm problems that have plagued him in the past.
