Manny Delcarmen must absolutely hate Boston

How else do you figure him signing with us? Manny is going to a team with already too many pitchers -- good grief, we even already have a Manny. Not only that, but he's signing with his old team's mortal enemy.

Not only that, but the guy grew up in Boston. He graduated from West Roxbury High School. He dreamed of pitching for the Gammon Nine, according to the Fenway propaganda machine.

Nevertheless, they peddled his lumpy ass for a plate of beans. He bounced from doorstep to doorstep for a season, and now he shows up in our swimming pool filter basket, looking for a shot at redemption.

Listen: I say, whooooahhh! I am officially and formally "delighted" to have Mr. Manny D on the Yankee spring training team. Nothing satisfies more than "turning" a Redsock, especially if we get him to make an angry video. I don't know how we did it. Maybe Cashman kidnapped his mom, or hooked him on oxy. Frankly, I don't care. He might just have a Bartolo month in him. Could he be our Aceves? (We might have two of them, if Okajima has a final squirt in him.)

But right now, our bullpen looks like the charge of the Light Brigade. I can't even list all the players lined up to try out for maybe two slots: After Mo, Robertson and Soriano, you've got - hmmm - Wade, Joba (around June), Logan, Kontos, the remaining B's, all the guys from Scranton, the two guys we drafted, the leftover starter (Hughes, AJ?),  Okajima and now Manny.
