Was voted a half playoff share by Mets teammates in 2012.

You have to wonder if Turner woulda been claimed.

You have to wonder if being the designated pie-facer is what kept Turner around.

Plus everyone loves his witty Twitter updates

Rottino always made me crave pasta.

He was claimed by Cleveland today. The journeyman starts a new journey. To make room for him, the Indians released Chris Schwinden. Later

Yes, that's what precipitated the thread.

Some people say it's disappointing, or overrated. But really, you can't go wrong with layered prosciutto and fontina, interlaced with five-year stints in the upper minors and simmered at low heat in a garlic sauce. And when you factor in the neverending breadsticks and inobtrusive-to-the-point-of-forgettable clubhouse presence, the Rottino is by far one of the Olive Garden's best values.

(signup required) Here's the first one: Well we claimed him, I dont know what is worse. Is it his record 32 yrs old - .188 lifetime major league average. Is it that as a right handed outfielder he immediately moves to among the top of our outfield prospect list. Later

Any references regarding Citified being built on an Indian Burial Ground?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2012 03:25 PM Re: Memories of Vinny Rottino

I don't what's wrong with you douchetards, but home-run hitting lefty smackers who can play 5 positions are good things to have around, and I'm sure the Mets are cursing their luck they they fumbled one away.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 28 2012 05:25 PM Re: Memories of Vinny Rottino

Yeah, he hits lefthanders well.

Edgy MD Jun 28 2012 09:52 PM Re: Memories of Vinny Rottino

Lefty-smackers. He left that hyphen out, but yeah. This guy came and he gave without taking. And we sent him away.

G-Fafif Jun 29 2012 06:20 AM Re: Memories of Vinny Rottino

Hit his first home run in Johan's no-hitter tuneup against the Padres. (Seemed worth offering an actual memory of Vinny Rottino.)

Edgy MD Jun 29 2012 06:39 AM Re: Memories of Vinny Rottino

Hit his second one two days later --- a two-run game-tying jobby off Cole Hamels. For a week or two there, he was Ike Davis' platoon partner.
