Wasn’t he knighted? Isn’t he….ahem….Sir Sidney? Or was that just a bad dream….?

In fairness – lots of people mocked the Yankees for bringing Colon in for Spring Training – that worked out pretty well.

I think they have a cream for that. He probably caught it in a Baltimore club, so I apologize on behalf of us all.

Wittenmeyer also says that the Rockies met with Milton Bradley’s agent.

Baseball executive 1: “We need to make sure this jersey fits Prince Fielder before we sign him. But who can try it on to make sure it’s the right size?”

Baseball executive 2: “Let’s call up Sidney Ponson. He’s about the same size, and no one will catch on to our true intentions.”

Pretty sure if anyone signs Sidney Pontoon, it’s to fill out their AAA rotation. Please?

Well at least it wasn’t a blog post about this guy’s agent meeting with a team:

This all seemed preposterously funny to me, then I recalled the 2011 K.C. starting quintet.

That is where I was going. Are they like Supreme Court Justices?

As a Royals fan I appreciate you adding a picture of him sweating in a KC uniform. Brings back warm and fuzzy memories.

Heh, picked up on that, too. Between that and Gator’s affectionate nickname for my team, I was terrified for a moment that Cashman was looking at Round 2. Fortunately it’s just the As.

I picture Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) vocalizing this article as I believe he used those exact words “not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!” in discussing the Borg.

Yes, you can like Star Trek and sports, they are not mutually exclusive.

I think Wittenmyer had this same tweet yesterday about the Cubs. Perhaps he’s trying to be cute because “ponson’s agent” also represents one or more of the bigger names of this years FA crop.

Scarcasm? Is that sarcasm based on the mental and emotional scars left by another?

You never dissapoint me Craig. I am now able to tell ascertain if you wrote an article based soley on the wording, context and/or scarcasm of the subject. I mean that in a complimentary way of course.
Well done.

Craig, I will not let you besmirch the good name of Sidney Ponson like this!

He does it enough by himself to cover the rest of us.

Signed, a Orioles fan who actually liked the guy at one point.
