I just noticed on one of my favorite Yankees blogs, WasWatching.com, that the Bombers have acquired Sal Fasano in an effort, as the Post says, to "upgrade" their backup catching situation.
Nevermind the fact that the Phillies, in an effort to upgrade their own catching situation, recently designated the career .225 hitter for assignment. Hell, anything's better than Kelly Stinnett and his .304 slugging percentage this season.
But I'm excited about the deal, because it brings to New York someone who bears a stark resemblance to one of the most feared Yankees in cinematic history: Clew Haywood from Major League.
Yep, "The Biggest Indian Killer of Them All" is coming to town. Too bad the Tribe isn't on the remainder of the 2006 schedule. I'd really like to get them back for Taylor's cheap-ass bunt hit. And, yes, I was rooting for the Yankees in that one, as I did the Yankees against the Bears in The Bad News Bears and the Yankees against the Hackensack Bulls in Brewster's Millions.
How could you root against Tanner, Kelly Leak, Engleberg, and Timmy Lupus.
I mean Timmy Lupus is almost like poor little Tiny Tim.
