Woot!
These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

Beat me to it.
What was the point of even having him around anyway? We knew there was absolutely no role for him on this team.

I Believe
He was signed before Bedard was aquired. Perhaps even before Silva was signed, so they might have just wanted a back up plan to be sure.

An extremely horrible back up plan, but nevertheless.

Meanwhile, Soriano is throwing bullpen sessions at ST and preparing to become a premier closer for one of the best teams in the NL.......

Extremely horrible is right.
You would think they would have used RRS or Baek as the backup plan instead of Ho.

There are probably 10 LL regulars who could out pitch him after a few month's of working out. Probably not, but I hate Ho (the player, not the person).

Now Watch A Crappy NL Team Sign Him
and he goes 15-9. I could see the St. Louis Cardinals taking a flyer on him. Their SP is in shambles.

FOR THE SAKE OF MY THROAT
DEAR GOD NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

We've got your back Paul.
Hopefully Bill doesn't pack a knife to the USSM/LL get together this year.

Since they are willing to eat 1/6th
of his salary this year, I wonder if this gives us any hope they'd be willing to do the same with Cairo.

Cairo is Willie's replacement
... when Willie replaces Lopez in the starting lineup once Jose has an 0-10 streak with some GIDPs.

But isn't that what the M's want him to do?
It weak ground balls to the right side, when all his power comes from pulling the ball?

"It" should be "hit".
Oops.

Uh ohz...
So, if he turns out to be Roy Halliday after all, then I'll need someone in Canada to help me escape from Bavasi.

Do we get Soriano back?
Is it like the Rule 5 of stupid trades?

bless you
that's the best news I've had all week.

Better late than never
But better not to do something stupid like signing him in the first place.

by OldFan on Mar 12, 2008 1:11 PM PDT reply actions  

Although this means
we won't get anymore "Ho chokes as Wang delievers" jokes when we play the Yankees.

Gov. Spitzer Announces Resignation; Ho Kicked To Curb

by marc w on Mar 12, 2008 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ho fails to do his job and is released;
Governor Spitzer resigns, filled with sorrow, and possibly blue-balls.

Ho Out of Work; Gov Spitzer Resigns in Shame
-Ex-Gov. McGreevey says he wants to get 'Back in Action,' said to be impressed by Ho's ability to 'work quickly.'

by marc w on Mar 12, 2008 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ho pitched Sunday
against the D-Backs. He gave up 3 runs. His opponent gave up 4. So technically, in his last Mariners start, he outdueled Brandon Webb. That's the only good memory I have. So godspeed, Horacio. May you find a new place in the NL to suck.

Or Texas.
Or Oakland, when Harden gets hurt in his second start.

by andrewgolfsalot on Mar 12, 2008 1:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, she's a pimp!
