Sidney Ponson loses friends and influences people negatively
2008-06-06 17:15
by Bob Timmermann

The Rangers have designated for assignment pitcher Sidney Ponson, who had a 4-1 record and a 3.88 ERA.

General manager Jon Daniels said the problem that led to the decision was Ponson's lack of respect toward teammates and staff.

"Based on recent events, I don't think Sidney wants to be here or deserves to be here," Daniels said.

Idle scuttlebutt here claims that Ponson was upset over having to pitch a game on three days rest.

It's tough to be considered the antisocial one when you play on a team that had Vicente Padilla AND Frank Francisco on it as well.

Too bad Sidney wasn't as even-tempered as Milton Bradley.

Truly, the Rangers are America's fun team.

They are just dumping him before he implodes on the field.

3 Sure you don't mean "explodes"? Why "implodes"?

Sidney might be crazy, but he's throwing crazy good. Next stop Philly?
