Hence, the Curse of the Randbino, the most dreaded whammy in baseball, (after being linked romantically to Madonna.)
If yee cometh to the Bronx in the role of bullpen lefty, yee shall die.
Pedro Feliciano apparently did not heed the warning. He will never throw a pitch for the Yankees. His arm has turned into wax, while the Mets click their tongues like bush people, happy that someone else in baseball knows what it's like to be cursed.
Add Pedro to the list of victims of
The Curse of the Randbino.

Uh, shouldn't that be the Curse of the Stantino? It was Mike Stanton who got dumped at the end of 2002 (for another ineffective lefty, Chris Hammond). Choate was still with the Yankees in 2003.
I made the executive decision that Randy Choate is funnier than Mike Stanton.
Was I wrong?
Yes. Yes you were wrong. The eminence, power and prestige of William Mikeus Stantonus will forever prevail over anything lowly Randolf Choate's got or ever given.
'Course that's just my opinion (it's not like I'm biased or anything) :P
You know, you're right. I'm wrong. Especially because of the way Cashman treated Stanton. Remember? He gave him 24 hours. That COULD have prompted Stanton - a great Yankee - to put a curse on us.
I'm starting to get scared.
It’s funny; after one game ’06, when he was with the Nats, Stanton put in an outstanding performance that some wacky message board poster (not me!) declared was “Christ-like” (I guess in the miraculous-ness of his ability to get out of what was an impossibly tough situation). The other boarders ran with it as a joke, so far as to dub him “The Savior”. There were 40-odd pages in this one thread, all with different permutations of the bible theme (it was equal parts hysterically funny and totally blasphemous).
Perhaps, in the case of the Yankees lefty relievers, what the Lord Stanton once gaveth, he hath now takeneth away.
Word around the clubhouse is, Randy Choate has developed an unhittable pitch,.
