Here we go, the top 10 reasons I won't miss Russell Martin. I know the list idea is tired, but so am I.
#10- He's Canadian.
#9- I didn't miss AJ Burnett when he eloped to Pittsburgh.
#8- His consistency led to Jesus Montero being traded. Yes, I'm still bitter.
#7- He only hit home runs whenever I was watching a game.
#6- He's Canadian.
#5-In two years in the Bronx he erased everything that made him great for five years with LA.
#4- Because somebody with his same first name became the most hated man on TV a few years ago.
#3- Now all we've got is Cervelli, a professional backup, and Austin Romine, who's young.
#2- Did I mention he's Canadian?
And the number one reason why I won't miss Russell Martin is...
For someone who was replacing one of the greatest Yankee catchers in recent history, he could have done a much better job.
PLAY ME OFF, PAUL!
UPDATE: I apologize to all Canadians. Everywhere. You guys are awesome. I just know an easy target when I see one. Still...please don't take any of that to offense.
I would have thought you didn't care about the guy cuz he's Canadian.
ReplyDeleteI think your Canadian readership may slip after reading this post. I'm glad Martin is gone because that's one less annoying John Sterling highlight I have to hear on the radio in the morning.
