 I saw the "headline" on the espn page about the Yankees signing Kyle "I feel like costing str8 $1,300 today by having a meltdown" Farnsworth, and wondered if the epic Game 4 NLDS collapse would make it into the story.
 I was somewhat pleased to see that it did.  I hope it's mentioned in every news story every written about this fuck face.  I hope it's in his obituary.
 
 What everyone forgets about this is that before the grand slam to Berkman, he walked some douchebag pinch hitter (Chris Burke maybe) to load the bases.  Un-fucking-real.  Like betting on Sergio with a 6 stroke lead.
 
 "NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees agreed Friday to a $17 million, three-year contract with reliever Kyle Farnsworth, moving quickly to replace Tom Gordon as the primary setup man for Mariano Rivera.
 
 The hard-throwing righty, who will be 30 in April, split last season between the Detroit Tigers and Atlanta Braves, who acquired him at the July 31 trade deadline. He combined to go 1-1 with a 2.19 ERA in 72 games, striking out 87 in 70 innings and walking 27.
 
 Farnsworth allowed only five home runs during the regular season, but had a meltdown in Game 4 of the playoffs, when Atlanta wasted a 6-1 lead. He gave up an eighth-inning grand slam to Lance Berkman and a tying homer to Brad Ausmus with two outs in the ninth, and Houston went on to win in 18 innings and earn a spot in the NL championship series."
