Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto Trades Three Nickels For Two Nickels. Is He Opening Up Space In That Little Jeans Pocket For More Nickels?
little does he know that i've been giving him canadian nickels this whole time
Jerry DiPoto is hilariously inept.
As a Mariners fan, I'm always excited for their continuing experiments in determining how much of a team can be constructed out of light hitting infielders and anonymous sixth starters.
i wouldn't expect an east coast elitist to appreciate it, but jerry dipoto's roster churn is a really important part of our economy. every time jerry trades away a player, he's creating jobs at the print shop that makes the posters of the star players that hang on the side of the stadium.
"where's that last foot I haven't shot?"
When the Mariners got to face Jack McDowell instead of Mariano Rivera in Game 5 of the 1995 ALDS, it was the ultimate monkey's paw moment for the franchise.
Remember, he's really doing the fans a favor.
Of all the salary dumps you have to do as a GM, ditching the extortionate sign-this-if-you-want-to-get-called-up contracts you gave to busted/knucklehead prospects has to be the least gratifying. I'm lifting Jerry Dipoto up in prayer tonight....
The nickels slugs or real nickels?
