Bring forth the soul-Bactine
It's tough to think of a more ham-fisted, overwrought scene in the history of cinema than the part near the end of Revenge of the Sith where the newly minted Darth Vader throws his fists in the air and screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" while objects are tossed about the room by the force of his grief. Nonethless, that's about where I was this morning when I found out that Mark Bellhorn will be going to the Spankees. On the one hand, I understand that his pride must've taken a massive hit when he was designated for assignment by the team he helped to win last year's World Series. But the Yankees?! If he'd just held out a little longer, he'd have been called up when the Sox expand their roster. Instead, he's going to share a locker room with Slappy McBluelips, and while away his days as a utility player.
That stings.
It also leaves open the question of just why the Yanks even wanted the guy who leads the league in strikeouts. First Embree and now this. I guess if the Spankees want to take our guys, at least they're only getting the ones who suck.
Still, possibly the only thing that'll soothe this burn is more starting pitching.
