This Saturday marks the highly comical return of Carl Pavano to the decimated Yankee rotation. With the Yanks sitting six games out of the Wild Card spot and just over a month to play, will he provide enough of a boost for the Bronx Bombers to reach the playoffs for the thirteenth consecutive year? Or will he only provide enough to boost his own personal checking account this off-season?
The timing for Pavano’s latest comeback attempt is convenient enough to weasel yet another lucrative contract offer out of another team looking for starting pitching depth - something that all 30 teams are interested in. If he comes on strong in the final five weeks of the season and shows flashes of returning to his 2004 form, will another team pay a hefty salary in hopes that he can anchor the number two or three spot in their rotation?

It’s the top of the ninth. The bases are juiced with two outs and you’re down by one. The crowd’s making it no surprise who’s up to bat next. Everyone from the grounds crew to Grandma Ellen are on there feet chanting at the decibel level nothing short of a Boeing 747 at takeoff. As number 25 steps out of the on deck circle and moves closer and closer to home plate, the 40,800 fans at AT&T Park start chanting,”BARRRRRYYY, BARRRRRRY, BARRRRRRY”.
Barry Bonds steps to the plate and immediately thousands of cameras go off at the same time. The flashes are so blinding that the pitcher looses consciousness for a split second and thinks to himself “this it is. I’m dead, and I’m following the light to God.” Then suddenly, like a kick to the head, he realizes where he is and what he has to do. As the pitcher steps back onto the mound, awaiting the sign from the catcher, there’s only one thing going through his head. Normally he’d be thinking about “Which lucky dancer at the Eager Beaver he’ll bring back to his five star, luxurious hotel suit later that night” but tonight it’s “Barry Bonds is sitting on 755 homeruns and there’s no way in hell I’m going to remembered as the next Al Downingâ€? (for those of you living on Mars, Al Downing is the pitcher who gave up Hank Aarons 715 homerun to surpass Babe Ruth). Read More »
