Weekday Update

[offbalance]

Here, look at this while I get settled and write my update about last night.

Today in the News:

Yanks trade Jason Anderson & pair of minor league pitchers for Armando Benitez. - not sure how I feel about this one yet. He can be inconsistent, but then again the Yankees have a history of taking so-so players from the Mets and other teams and turning them around, so I'm going to attempt an open mind.

You posted it. So I'll comment on it, or at least thank you for posting it. Thank you, you made my day.

I'm having an awfully hard time keeping an open mind about this Benitez thing, especially when co-workers send me things like this:

Boomer on Boo-nitez:

In his book "Perfect I'm Not," Wells refers to his former Oriole teammate's "career-long series of big-game collapses" and describes him as "about as reliable as a schizophrenic on crack." He also describes grabbing Benitez around the neck when they were opponents in the Martinez game, saying he squeezed hard enough to make "reliever juice" as the Oriole screamed "Lemme go!"

Cashman on Boo-nitez:

"That was the most chicken--- stuff I've ever seen in my life," Cashman said of Benitez's drilling Martinez.

Bernie on Boo-nitez:

Williams, who hit a long homer one batter before Benitez hit Martinez, said, "You give up a homer, be a man. Be professional about it."

Of course, if they'd given him 49 for his uniform, I'd have sold my season tickets.

I'm hoping that we might be able to trade him for someone even better.

(but why why why why did we trade Jason Anderson???)
