Need tomato juice. Advil. Aspirin. Hot sauce. Right now, the only thing that stands between the current Wild Card contender Yankees and the return of Evil-Zombie-Reanimated-Corpse Chris Carter is the five-inch thick Korean tenderloin hamstring of Ji-Man Choi, the newest Yankee and - dear god - the fantasy rottweiler who guards at the cosmic gate between heaven and hell. If that two-pound string of ham stretches or snaps, while Ji-Man tries to leg out a roller, we're doomed to repeat Chris Carter until the fabric of reality snaps, as well, unleashing an army of Zoilio Almontes and Andy Philipses, each of them more terrifying than ever, unstoppable, as they gather all of Scott Proctor's mitts and spikes and set fire to them at home plate, with the ghost of Stump Merrill rising from the dead to-
That's enough. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Where was I? Ji-Man Choi? Who the fuck is Ji-Man Choi. I dunno. My head hurts. This is supposed to be a blog, with news and information. Important site for spontaneous critiques. Okay, let's see what the Internet says...
Hmm. He's 26. No nickname. (Don't need one, when you're Ji-Man!) Weighs 230. Dong San High School, South Korea. Last year with the Angels, he hit .170 over 54 games. Was the king of Salt Lake City before coming up to the Majors. In seven minor league seasons, he's a career .306 hitter. In 444 games, 48 minor league homers. Bats left. When Scranton came to Syracuse early this spring, he belted one into the light towers at Your Name Here Stadium, and that's no small feat. Last one to do that in my memory was Willie Mays Aiken.
But write this down: Ji-Man will be gone next week - his hammy snapped like a rubber band holding a 12-page - and Carter will be back, scarier than ever. Excuse me. I need a drink.
Just don't get hooked into any fake news about a fake pennant race. We already won the jackpot. I, personally, am tired of all the winning and eagerly await the next pineapple. 2018 calls! The rest of this year is just gravy. Lumpy gravy, maybe, but gravy.
ReplyDeleteHIs nick-name ( from me ) is Bok Choy. Easier to remember.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget: I predicted a long time ago, that we would have to give up assets in a semi-major trade for a legit first baseman.
It will happen.
It must.
Chris Carter is gone? To quote a document nailed to a church door 500 years ago, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty we are free at last."
ReplyDeleteSOMEHOW, I SEE CHRIS CARTER COMING BACK AGAIN....

Take a close look and you will see that Carter has returned, only this time he is Asian.
