Farewell, Notgardo

- The Padres reached terms on minor-league deals with right-handed reliever Chris Britton, who had been non-tendered by the Yankees and has a career 3.83 ERA; and former Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo, who batted .266 with 12 homers for San Francisco in 2006.

The broke ass Padres are officially the new dumping grounds for has beens and never was-es. How much do you want to bet that Giants’ pitchers, after seeing him swing at pitches twenty feet out of the strike zone all these years, are going to feed him fastballs right down the middle??

He Did Come Up Thru The Pirates System As A SS Prospect

He has played some SS in the majors as well (though not very well).

This was actually one of those times when I was making a joke. Jose Castillo is, in my opinion, a criminally bad third baseman.

But he was apparently our best option last year, and that is worth making jokes about.

“This was actually one of those times when I was making a joke.”

This should be your sig.

Been a while

…Since there was not a “E. Alfonzo” somewhere in the Giants Organization. Edgar tainted those initials in my eyes.

Notgardo,

Like a crazy ex-girlfriend, I used to like you, but gradually having you around got more and more unbearable. I hope that you are happy in San Diego, but that our paths do not cross.

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .
