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.

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.
