The Yankees should sign Bonds and DH him.

Bonds costs $400k, the ML minimum.

Every home run he hits delays the final $12M of Rodriguez’ bonus payments (tying and passing the ML record), makes him have to hit that many more to collect.

Such a win-win deal.

I can’t believe ARod hasn’t already announced what you’re suggesting, Craig - maybe when he gets closer to those milestones he’ll make an announcement.  It’s about the only thing he can do to get people cheering for these achievements.

Jimmy, are you serious?  How is “‘asplode” ethnically insulting?  Exactly what foreign accent is that supposed to be?  My intent in using that was to mimic kid talk. As in the common habit of dropping g’s and making new prefixes that many children—my own included—often use.  Think “spusghetti” or “nothin’” or things along those lines.  Designed, in this case, to color the post with a spirit of shallow, juvenile silliness in which it was intended.

Of course now that I actually had to sit and write it out it loses all meaning and even the miniscule bit of humor it ever posessed.

But hey, if you want to be outraged at everything that could even be remotely considered offensive, be my guest.  Just know that you’re imagining any intent on my part.

I thought asplode was supposed to be a reference to an old Strong Bad e-mail. How weird if you came up with that on your own.

Yeah, when I saw “asplode,” I was wondering if Craig read the SBEmail too.

Also, I didn’t know “foreign” was an accent.
