People Laughed When I Hired Sidney Ponson, but When he Started to Pitch...

Sidney Ponson pitched six shutout innings in his 2008 debut for the Yankees. It wasn't pretty as he walked four men and allowed five hits. Twice he pitched out of bases loaded jams. In the second he filled the bases with no one out and the Mets didn't score, and in the third the bases were full with one out and he induced a double play.

Jeter picked up his second double of the day, once again leaving the 400 double slot empty. The Yankees went on to a 9-0 victory. That left the two teams even on the day, one win for each team, each scoring 15 runs.

Actually, we laughed harder when he started to pitch.

Also, you forgot to mention that Kei Igawa was the closer in that game. Igawa for the Yankees, Billy Wagner for the Mets. Kind of boggles the mind.

It's only a matter of time before he makes a drunken spectacle of himself, calls another teammate the "n" word, or attacks someone. He's worthless.

After awhile the dubious moves aren't so funny, but I'm sure someone will suggest it was shrewd strategy.
