Since our Fearless Leader is too busy gloating over his latest reproductive success (show off), I’ve decided to take time out of my “busy” day and riff on this latest news…
Over a couple of plates’ worth of the “Early Bird Special” at Old Country Buffet, GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. and venerable pitcher Jamie “Hey! What The Hell Are These Kids Doing On My Lawn? Oh, They’re My Teammates?” Moyer agreed to a 2-year deal that will keep Moyer in red pinstripes until he’s old enough to have Willard Scott wish him “Happy Birthday” on the air.
Since Moyer’s arrival in 2006, the Phillies are 46-28 when he (very slowly) takes the mound.
You know, I make a lot of “old man” jokes at his expense, but there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Jamie Moyer could easily kick my ass with a smile on his face and a song in his heart.
That song? “Camptown Races,” written when Moyer was just a wee lad. Ba-ZING!

say what you will about his age, but I’d still prefer him as the #3 over anyone else in the rotation.

First of all, Meech should request a paternity test, because I see some definite resemblence to Pat. If he tries to draw a walk in T-Ball league, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Second, I think Amaro finally broke down under the weight of the Ibanez move. Now he can successfully point out that the I-Man and Chan Ho Park are relatively young by comparison. Now we wait to see how Ibanez feels about “getting his ass hammered by guys in the dugout…” Could be the reason he wanted to come here. No dugout hammers ass harder than ours. Never mind…

Howdy,
Now that’s old, baby. Good find.

Something tells me our dugout hammers don’t hammer ass quite so hard now that the Bat is gone. *sniff*
