Stanton haters, rejoice

A blurb from Pinstripes Nation:

"Boone confirmed no clear timetable exists for Stanton’s return. The 34-year-old isn’t ready for even a brief rehab assignment. This development effectively eliminates any possibility of a May comeback and raises questions about June availability. 

"These delays have fueled trade speculation, with sources mentioning Seattle as a potential destination. His ongoing health concerns complicate any potential deal."

I know I'm in a very small, tiny, miniscule minority, but I would miss the big lug. After last year's postseason performance, especially, I think the hobbled giant deserves some respect. 

Sue me.

Respect him? Okay, but I'm not exactly jumping for joy if he comes back. His return creates a lot of problems. I've said it for years now. Yanks are better off without Stanton. So if Seattle wants him, for God's sake, send him over there, complete with airfare, a box of candy, a rare Hot Wheels collectible, anything they want!

Well, if not respect, hundreds of millions of dollars. Not a bad consolation prize, eh?

I know it's not Tuesday, but...

"Ding dong the witch is dead
Which old witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding dong the wicked witch is dead!

"He's gone where the cantruns go
Back to the bench,
Or Florida
Where things are slow

"Yes, let the joyous word be spread,
The wicked old witch at last is dead!

"Or if not dead,
Retired at an early age with all the money in the world so it's really not so bad for anybody at all—"

Sorry, let my jubilation carry me away there.
