Apparently Santa and Sabes worked the holidays and come up with this blockbuster of blockblusters. The Giants signed Keiichi Yabu. The right-handed Yabu spent ten seasons with Japan’s Hanshin Tigers, posting an 84-102 record, 3.55 ERA, and 1.25 WHIP in 1589.2 innings of work. Yabu allowed 1554 hits and 436 walks, while striking-out 1003. A solid showing in 2004 (3.02 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) earned him a trip to the United States, where he was inked by the Oakland A’s to a one-year deal. Wow. I'm stunned. On the other hand I want to let you all know I embrace this signing. I welcome Yabu to the Giants. This was a brilliant signing. No thats not sarcasm but genuine glee. See, I figure B.S. is gonna be looking for feedback and with a little positive reaction, will negate Sabes' feeling of acting in an irrational manner. No, I won't force Sabes to make a move, call a press conference, demand a recount on whether or not he is "an idiot." No, I say we don't need to go down that road again. Lets count our blessings and move forward, after all, as far as I know, our old friend Armando Blownitez is still out there looking for a place to hang is hat, and you know Sabes will pull that trigger! So I say who knows, maybe this guy will turn out to be our answer. Maybe he'll get to see some action. He might not turn our to be the closer we need, but if he can come in and..........what the hell am I talking about!? Yes this guy sucks. Who am I kidding? Action? This guy can't get any action even if he got locked in a phermone plant with Jamie Lynn and Britney and he was covered with Milk Duds. Speaking of Jamie Lynn, what do you think Tom Brady is thinking right about now? Back to the topic. Yabu. I guess it could nav been worse right? Right? Ah, what the hell.
