After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”Tags: None

I'm looking at Igawa's "career" ML stats and wondering what "positive impact" he's ever had. Matsuzaka was at least decent in 2007 and 2008 before turning to the atrocious side.
While Matsuzaka wasn't nearly what he was billed to be, he was competent for a couple of years, which is two more than you can say for Igawa.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
Faith is believing what you know ain't so. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910)
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

It was a joke, boy.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostMaybe it was a joke, but I think it is an accurate statement if you consider the whole package, including posting fees, salaries, etc. I think both would rate a subzero score on any "positive impact" scale that allowed negative numbers."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Edit: I should also add that I mean he will be a negative value player by the time the contract runs its full course. They still owe him a ton of cash over the next couple of years.Last edited by Sour Masher; 04-12-2011, 08:38 PM.

The one thing the Yankees have done better than the Red Sox in regards to these terrible signings is that the Yanks cut bait when they realized Igawa was useless, banishing him to the nether-regions of the minors. Meanwhile, the Sox still roll out the rotting carcass of Matsuzaka to throw batting practice every 5th day."Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? Who knows? Who cares?"
