The (real) return of Sir Sidney

Peter Abraham says Sidney Ponson will get called up by the Yankees to start against the Mets on Friday.

It will be interesting to see how this chapter in the Ponson adventure plays out...

Hopefully he continues

his sub 4 ERA.

Sharky said it, I believe it, that settles it

Why not?

He did a good job pitching for the Rangers. I have no idea why I’d wish him ill.

How would you characterize

4-1, 3.88 ERA?

I know LSB is much more excited about guys who can go .230/.325/.344 as terrible fielding DH types, but I like watching folks who can actually perform.

Oh, Cahill, you're so dark and edgy

You need one of those HBO specials so you can really tell it like it is!!!

Are you really

saying you thought he was going to keep that ERA all season with a WHIP of 1.47? C’mon. If everyone else here thought he was awesome you’d be posting nonstop that he wasn’t based on that and his other underwhelming periferals.

It’s not necessary to always have the opposite opinion of the majority. We’ll still respect your curmudgeonly image.

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

by t ball on Jun 23, 2008 1:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

Now then...

That’s a plotline I can follow.

How long Sidney keeps that ERA…I theeeeeenk I’ll take the over. What do you think, Cahill?

i have a problem with the line:

“I have no idea why I’d wish him ill.”

but hashing out that discussion is futile so. . . whatever.

How about

because he is a douchebag who destroyed his short tenure here because of his drinking and general douchebag ways

I dunno how it'll play out

but I’m betting that if it goes well in NYY it will somehow end up being due to Derek Jeter’s leaderness.

He'll become a new man

under the watchful gaze of Derek Jeter’s calm eyes.

and then

we’ll get a lot more posts around here about how the Rangers get rid of every good pitcher.

Is he pitching the day game or night game?

It’s a double header on Friday.

Hey Adam

please tell me that you think Ponson is funnier than Laird?

Unintentional comedy wise, Ponson is a walking gem when it comes to bits.

who couldn't see this coming??

I knew the Yankees would end up getting Ponson this year, but I thought we would trade him, not give him to them.

My wife’s a Yankees fan, but she doesn’t like Ponson.

I’m sure the media will mention that but I don’t really care except about that detail.

Sidney Ponson

Now replacing Roger Clemens as the #1 douche in the Yankees rotation.

by LSJ on Jun 23, 2008 5:06 PM CDT reply actions  

I hope...

he pitches a CG shutout and then meets some of the players at a bar after the game to celebrate.

Later that night he’s doing shots with some hotties when ARod comes over and tells him to “cool down a little”. Of course Ponson takes exception and punches ARod right in the face. Down goes ARod. A brawl breaks out and Ponson cleans house. He wakes up in a pile of his own vomit not remembering a thing.

The best part though is the Yanks don’t release him because he pitched a CG shutout. Who cares if he punched ARod, the guy can pitch. Listening to Cashman and the Steinbrenner’s handle that in the media would be the defenition of greatness.
