The Fire in the Belly Has Been Extiguished
Greg Vaughn says he was “relieved” to find out he had been released by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, perenially the worst team in baseball. Here’s the quote:
I don’t have to go out there every single time now and feel like I have to drive in three runs or get a hit every single time.
As someone on the Rob Neyer Message Board put it, how about just not sucking?
Vaughn’s salary this year is over 9 million dollars, and it’s guaranteed, whether he plays or not. In other news, my stepmother has been teaching special-education students and other elementary children for over two decades, and she won’t be able to comfortably retire for years.
