Headed Down The S-Hole


I swore to everyone in Seattle that The New, Rebuilding Yankees weren't stupid enough to sign Richie Sexson. Now I'm the one who looks stupid.

To give you some idea: there's a bar here called Norm's that offered a drink special called Cheap Sexs On Mondays, pricing bottles of Bud and Bud Light according to Richie's BA. When he was hitting, say, .214, a beer was $2.14.

Week in and week out for 14 months, it was some of the cheapest beer in town.

Take his beer price vs. lefties this year and it would be a bit more expensive.

No risk signing. I have no problem with it whatsoever.

Also: he's a big baby. They finally released him not for sucking but for sulking.

Apparently the bar flies in Seattle must be happy that he got picked up and the cheap sex can continue!

Now if some major grocery chain can somehow be convinced to set the price of a gallon of milk to Melky's average...

What Radiohead lyrics predicted the signing of Sexson? I wonder
