Yo Vinny

Post by Johnny Lunchbucket » Fri Jun 02, 2023 8:24 am

Mets deal with the Cubs for RH RP Vinny Nittoli. He has had a sip of coffee with Seattle and the Phillies.

Dicomo says he can be optioned, I guess that fills the Yacabonis role.

"Vinny, you've been acquired by the Mets."
"What?"
"The Mets -- in New York."
"Where?"
"I just told you where."
"I'm so confused!"
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

This works although I would have gone with "My Reliever Vinny".

He is "well-traveled": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Nittoli

I just thought of something amusing (to me at least).

Back in the olden days, on the forum where many of us first met, there
was a chuckleheaded character who called himself Vinny Testosterone.

Decades later and statutes expired, I confess I played that role.

They gave me a pretty long leash there, lol...

I heard from HVAC Guy recently, he's still incarcerated here for at
least ten more years. Poor bastard.

but I was young and naive and unaware of milfy action and such...

We left him off the list because he gets no respect.
