Baerga's retirement official
2006-08-11 15:18
by Bob Timmermann

Carlos Baerga announced today that his retirement is official. But he hasn't played this year. And I've heard him call games on ESPN Deportes.

And who would have wanted him anyway?

I am going to hold a press conference to announce that I have officially graduated from college. Never mind that that it happened in 1987. I just thought everyone should know.

In other news, the generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

On what side of the podium was Baerga standing? Maybe he retired earlier from the other side and just wanted to add retiring to the list of things he does ambidextrously.

It's been a good week for irrelevant press conferences.

Perhaps Scott Erickson could hold a similar press conference to announce he's officially washed up.

Maybe Derek Bell can hold a press conference to announce that he is close to successfully completing year 5 of Operation Shutdown.

I will not allow Scott Erickson to retire. We must never forget.
