All things considered, the farther away he is from Yankee Stadium, the better. Dickey should be picked up by the pinstripes

Their numbers (I know, I know, one’s a starter and one’s a reliever) are comparable except Pavano gives up more homers per inning and hence has an ERA almost a point higher, but maybe Minnesota felt the need of starting help more than relief help, though I don’t see it myself, but, but….. THIS IS JUST BAD KARMA and the Twins have cursed themselves out of any kind good fortune for the rest of the year. How can you send down a knucleballer for Carl Pavano? If they don’t bring back RA when rosters expand, they are dead to me. (Not that I care about the Twins all that much anyway,,,,,)

As usual, Yankees fans think they have automatic first rights to everything.  Dickey was optioned, not waived or DFA’d.  The Yankess can’t just “pick him up.”

Jason, thanks for coming to my defense. Besides, we only buy our enemies to set them straight, and a knuckleballer doesn’t faze us (i.e. Wakefield most of the past few years).
BTW thanks for the graphics this morning, I only listen on the radio but John was having a more-difficult-than-usual time calling the play by play.

That’s R.J. Swindle, not R.A. Dickey, who was DFAed. Swindle was claimed on waivers by the Rays, who then DFAed Jon Meloan. . .
