Yanks sign Ponson.

[gallden]

Didn't see this anywhere. According to The Star Ledger the yankees have signed Ponson. http://www.nj.com/yankees/index.ssf/2008/06/yankees_sign_sidney_ponson.html

They must still be impressed by his stint with them back in 2006 when he had a 10.47 ERA.

[Moose Milligan]

Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Smells like desparation to me!

[nsw]

Yes Yes Yes! :clap3:

[PrivateO]

Oh I hope the O's play against him.

You know...if he's still around by then.

[Pushmonkey]

I hope the O's do a tribute to Him...send him some corona's to the visiting clubhouse. For the video tribute they can have him just turning around to the out field sky trying to find the ball leaving the yard.

It is hopless for him now.....He has crossed to the dark side!:vader:

This has made my day.:clap3:

[blueberryale77]

This is so awesome! My Yankee fan friends are going to be soooooooooooooo happy! I can't wait for him to get called up so I can rub it in their faces and beat them at Sidney Ponson drinking games!

[cindyluvsbrady]

They could get that judge to throw out the first pitch.

LOL!!!!!!!!:laughlol:

[Murhyslaw]

I'm actually a little worried. Besides the fact that he is a huge idiot he was pitching pretty well. I can only hope that the sir sydney we all know and love will show up for the yanks,,,,,

This is the first step in making my nightmare come true.

1. Yanks sign Ponson.

2. Yanks deal for Bedard.

3. Ponson/Bedard/Mussina win World Series together...

[DrLev]

SI.com's got it now, too. LINK

All I can say is:

:beerchug1::beerchug1::beerchug1:

The Yankees looks like a good place for Ponson. He could cuss out the whole team and no one would even notice. It would just be another normal day in the Bronx.

LOL I was waiting for these reactions.

This is how my Cub fan brethren reflexively view any comparable signing by the $%* Cardinals. Whatever dreck they sign off of the scrapheap seems suddenly to pitch like Pedro or hit like Bonds.

Whenever a desperation signing like this it happens, there's not so much snickering as a sense of imminent dread.
