Silliness

"There's not too many first basemen who could save two, three runs a game," Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon, his former teammate in Boston, said last month. "Defensively, I haven't seen a better defensive player than Doug, so if we pick him up, it would be great."

They said the same thing about Rico Brogna.

Doug is a bum.

Proctor's going into the rotation.

Luis V. is not good.

I'm not a fan of either deal. Reminds me of Ghostbusters - replace city with the Yankees:

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

I really wanted to comment about your Rico Brogna reference. Then, I looked up his stats and he has 5 more errors (33 to 28) than Doug Mienkewitcz - in fewer games mind you.

I'm still glad I got a Ghostbusters quote in though.

Bobby Murcer is back home in Oklahoma and doing well after surgery last week to remove a brain tumor.

The former New York Yankees star was released from a Houston hospital on Sunday evening and spent New Year's Eve in the city with his family, the team said Friday in a statement. Doctors cleared him to return to Oklahoma, which he did on Tuesday.

The 60-year-old Murcer has been relaxing and enjoying everyday activities, and hasn't had any setbacks since the surgery, the Yankees said. He is scheduled to return to Houston next week to consult with doctors at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, one of the top cancer facilities in the nation.

Murcer, now a Yankees broadcaster, had brain surgery at the hospital last Thursday. The tumor was discovered following an MRI on Christmas Eve after he had been having headaches and feeling a loss of energy.
