Say it ain't so! It appears that the Yankees have brought back the one and only Sidney Ponson, according to the team's official website. Ponson is probably the one guy in baseball who I'd pay NOT to play for my team. I understand his numbers are somewhat of an improvement over previous years (4-1, 3.88 which isn't bad, but he's allowed 71 hits in 55 innings), but he has a reputation for being a headcase and he's been here before, and it didn't work. According to the website:

Ponson was reportedly put on notice after creating a serious disturbance at the hotel bar in St. Petersburg, Fla. during the team's recent road trip and told that further problems would not be tolerated.

He also reacted furiously after being taken out of a June 4 game against the Indians and with being pushed back from the start that was to follow that outing, prompting Rangers general manager Jon Daniels to say, "We don't feel Sidney deserves to be here or wants to be here."

So he's been booted out of Texas because of "off-the-field" issues, and was previously booted out of New York because of on-the-field issues (aka he was terrible). Makes me wonder...if he doesn't deserve or want to be in Texas then why does he deserve to be or want to be in New York?

Ah...it must be the the ice cream.
