Yankees sign Ponson

Here's the link:

I'm not particularly surprised.  With Wang, Hughes, Kennedy on the DL and Rasner sucking, I guess they don't have much choice but to give him a try.  Ponson typically requires a few weeks/months before imploding, during which time the Yankees can trade for a better starter or hope one of their injured starters makes it back before the implosion.  We'll see.....

I'LL TAKE THE 5 MINUTE MAJOR

for posting second. When I see breaking news on ESPNews, I guess I should check other than the fanposts for prior posting.

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

15 diaries today

and several of them just repeating things at least already discussed in other threads if not main page posts.

...and curse Sir Sidney Ponson, he was such a stupid git.

So don't read them?

No, it can’t be that simple.

No, its not that simple.

My curmudgeonliness is optimistic in the sense that if enough people complain, maybe fewer useless diaries take up space on the right. Working for a better LSB, I am.

Well, they used to be called Diaries.

I assume most people still use them as though they are diaries, putting less emphasis on what other people have written… thoughts?

Back when they were called diaries

(and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to calling the fanposts) we still had people posting “Penalty Box!” in cases like this. I’m just complaining, not really terribly put out.

I wouldn't mind an extention, if you will, of a front page story with an individual wanting

to take that subject in depth with his thoughts. But this isn’t one of those cases. This is the exact same news, hence the PENALTY BOX!

The Penalty Box is stupid.

This is a Rangers forum, not a Stars forum.

A very predictable...

move by the Yanks, especially after losing Wang.

Heh

You know… I just realized something: the Yankees just replaced their Wang with a dick.
