David Wells...good lord!
Why why why did Theo sign him.

He really sucks.

(Oakland up 7-0 in the second and Wells is about to hit the shower.)

1. Talk about stinkin' up the joint --- yikes!
9 hits and 7 runs in 1.1 innings -- holy crap :(

This headline looks a little limp right now:

"Notes: All systems go for Wells"

2. Why?
Edited on Wed May-18-05 03:26 PM by rinsd
Because he's been healthy the last few years.

Because he's an innings eater who doesn't walk people.

Because he immediately became the 2nd best guy on your staff upon signing.

Because he was relatively cheap at a little over $4M a year for only 2 years.

Because Theo thought it was impossible that he would get screwed by a Yankee mole again(see Ramiro Mendoza):evilgrin:

3. Thank God I'll be out of touch all summer...these past few days have
not boded well for the Sox--losing series to lowly Oakland and Seattle. I'll catch up in September and avoid the agony!

4. Glad that I dropped him from my Fantasy league
when he went on the DL.

5. my dad and I CRIED over wasted money when we signed him
he was one of the most hated MLB players in my house.
"I wanna blow up Fenway." (paraphrasing...) that's what got me to hate him REALLY... more than other Yankees.
