Terrible news broke late last night.
Andrew McCutchen was traded by the Giants to the Evil Empire, the New York Yankees.
It is bad enough that I won't be able to see Cutch with his name on his back anymore, but he won't even have his trademark 22 either.
The reason is because that number belongs to Jacoby Ellsbury who hasn't played a single game this season. It must be nice to offer a guy $153 million to be a bench player for 7 years.
Great job Yankees. You have killed my Cutch fandom.
At least I can watch a Yankees game and root for someone besides just Neil Walker now. Let's go former Bucs!!!
UG-LY.
ReplyDeleteHey remember my comment a couple days ago.....
ReplyDeleteI predicted the future!
I can't love this all any more! I cannot wait to see McCutchen Yankee cards on your blob. Can't. Wait.
ReplyDeleteScrew Ellsbury. The Yankees should let McCutchen wear #22. What's the big deal? It's not like Ellsbury is rising from the dead this year. My prediction is he'll wear #26 or 29.
Ach, he's definitely gone to the dark side....
ReplyDeleteSaw the news before I went to bed last night and thought of you. What a bummer. I guess it's like when I had to see Gooden and Strawberry on the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when Roger Clemens went to the Yanks. You know it's part of the game, but it hurts nonetheless. My sympathies that you masterpiece collection must now be tainted.
ReplyDeleteNightmares do come true.
