[UNHWildCats]

In a move thats expected to to solidify their rotation much like they did when they signed Carl Pavano, the Yankees today signed Sidney Ponson.

The move is widely expected to land GM Brian Cashman the executive of the year award.

Didn't really work too great the first go around...though he was a solid reliever at times.

Inning eater.

[Peems]

Inning eater.

He doesn't need to eat much more!

[Reed Rothchild]

Good lord. I guess it was only a matter of time after the Rangers cut him.

Ponson? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

Au contraire, let's expand that waistline.

The Yankees have won 10 of the last 11 AL East titles and haved used inning eaters every time.

Come September, you'll be happy a guy like Ponson ate a good number of July and August innings, and that those innings aren't on the arms of guys they're going to need down the stretch. Happens every year.

Ponson? xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

What's so funny. If you can keep a secret, I'll tell which is baseball's hottest team. xshhhx



19-8 over the last month, with two certain All-Stars back in the lineupxshhhx

If the Yanks continue what they are doing now, the only time we'll see El Sid in Pinstripes will be in an emergency/injury situation for a spot start...

Ponson is starting in the 2nd game of a double header tonight against the Mets and PEDRO. GOOD LORD. Let the disaster begin!!!

Hopefully they just picked him up to start this series since they will be short staffed with a double header.

Ponson tonight:

6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 0 HR

Not saying, just saying xnodx

Unbelievable! This is like playing with fire!!!

[UNHWildCats]

Now this is the Ponson we know and love.

[dbackjon]

Overweight and giving up runs?

[slycat]

Hope the Rangers take him down tonight.

[UNHWildCats]

The Yankees offense awakens and saves Ponson from a loss 18-7

[Reed Rothchild]

Sid showed his true colors tonight. He's a joke.

[UNHWildCats]

ya, but its not even a funny joke. :p
