Hooray fact checking!

According to Hickey:

The Mariners have reportedly looked at the three available White Sox pitchers -- Jon Garland, Jose Contreras and Javier Vazquez -- the Reds' Kyle Lohse, the Giants' Matt Morris, Jason Johnson of the Rockies and Octavio Dotel of the Royals, among others.

Should someone tell Hickey that Jason Johnson has been pitching for the Seibu Lions and the last time Jason Johnson took the mound for the Colorado Rockies was never?

If 21st century media has taught me anything...
...it's that facts are unpatriotic.  If Hickey says that Jason Johnson pitches for the Rockies, and you don't believe him, the terrorists win.  You don't want the terrorists to win, do you?  DO YOU?

Seriously, though, that's pretty pathetic.  It's not even like Seibu and Denver are geographic neighbors.

I'm hoping he meant
Jason Jennings, but he's on the Astros, so it's still bad.

No...
He meant some guy named Babe Ruth. He heard that he won 20 games.

Yup
that's him.  They want to stick him in the pen.

Babe Ruth is a kid
He needs to back up the veterans and know his place.

That's why he gets mop-up duty
That way Morrow can be promoted to setup role.

No!
Morrow's going into the rotation like DOV says!

And then let Griffey play CF
so Ichiro can fufill his dream of becoming a knuckleball pitcher.

Maybe he meant Jason Hirsh
Although I don't know why they'd trade him.

I don't know why the Rockies would trade any SP
They're young, cheap and mostly decent starters.

Let's just agree
that John Hickey isn't that great at his job.

Teehee.
Jason Johnson, last I checked, is trying to find as many ways as possible to to forget he's in Japan.

by Deanna on Jul 26, 2007 10:50 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It backfired
Johnson still remembers, but Hickey forgot.
