SID-NEY PON-SON!
Yes!!! It appears that baseball waste, Sidney Ponson, will be making his Yankee comeback this Friday!!!! For those who have short memories, Ponson started 3 games for the Yanks in 2006 (appeared in 5), going 0-1 with a 10.47ERA.
Besides his awesome pitching prowess and relentless appetite, Ponson brings with him a litany of legal problems and overall douche-baggery....
On Christmas Day '04 he was arrested after pummeling a judge on an Aruban beach. He's been arrested for DUI twice. And...just a few weeks ago the Texas Rangers cut him abruptly, despite performing pretty well (4-1, 3.88 ERA, 106ERA+); surprising cause it's no secret that the Rangers need pitching, but Ron Washington found that Ponson's personality was so abrasive that the dude had to go.
Overall, Sidney Ponson seems pretty much like a dick.
All kidding aside though, Sidney really just needs to eat innings rather than Oreos. Obviously, that's what Cash signed him to do. Hopefully, he can do it and not piss off anyone (or beat up fans, drive into light poles) in the process.

My first year out of college- I was fortunate enough to get to hang out and administer ballots for Player of the Year voting in in the Baltimore clubhouse at Fenway before a Sox-O's game (the second to last Ripken played at there). Ponson was isolated from the team on an exercise bike complaining while a specific coach was in charge of standing next to him and making sure he didn't get off the bike. One player made a comment to me (Scott Erickson I believe) about how Ponson is talented but such a fat piece of shit that they have to constantly monitor him on an exercise bike during the season.
I shit you not- that is a true story.
That's my Ponson!
