He said that Washburn had a lot of moxie (No mention of his holdings of any other discontinued soft drinks)

Actually Moxie can still be found in Maine, and also in Boston if you know where to look. And there’s Galco’s, a small store in northeast Los Angeles which specailizes in stocking obscure soft drinks from all over the country and world, and they’ve got Moxie (and moxie).

The guy at the espn desk asked Buck Showalter about the rumor and Showalter said that he thought Washburn would be a good fit. He said that Washburn had a lot of moxie (No mention of his holdings of any other discontinued soft drinks) and would fit right in with the yankees.

Yeah, that kind of deal sounds like Bavasi is still in charge.

Totally idiotic. Kei Igawa has cost the Yankees about the same as Washburn has the Mariners (if you count the posting fee). At least Washburn hasn’t been a total bust from the get-go; Igawa has been from his first month in a Yankee uniform.

I will be a LOT less than thrilled if this Buster Olney rumor has legs.

[OK, once. Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps).

Buster Olney ALSO said:

JR (NY): Who would the Yanks have to give up to get a guy like Washburn?

Buster Olney: (1:22 PM ET ) JR: Kei Igawa, and another secondary prospect. They’re taking on a lot of money (about $13-14 million), so they won’t have to give up much.

See? A perfect example of fleecing. And $13-14 million isn’t a lot of money to the Yankees. In another section of the blog I found the above, they’re talking about Jorge Posada’s contract not being much of an impediment to finding another frontline catcher if his shoulder prevents him from ever catching again.

*crossing fingers*

please be true, please be true….

And talk about your poise, presence, and leadership; when your team is in a tough, pressure-packed situation is there anyone you would rather have on your side than Jack Bauer?

These are the kinds of hidden advantages that I’ve been bringing up! Do you think that it is a coincident that Seattle hasn’t suffered a major terrorist attack since the Mariners signed “Washburn”?

Imagine what would happen if some other team took him away!
