JJ Putz Lives Up To His Name

I can’t do nuttin’ for you man.  Go lean on shells answer man.  I can’t do nuttin’ for ya man.  You jumped out of the jelly into a jam.  -Public Enemy 

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go!  Like dear old Bubbe always said:  “What a putz!”  You may know in Yiddish, the word putz literally means penis.  You may also know it can mean jerk or dope too.  The old joke goes, a foolishly dressed tourist in Israel takes a ride on a camel.  He says to his wife that it must be a male camel.  Wife asks how he knows.  Man answers,  “Everyone was saying ‘Look at the putz on that camel!’”.  Right about now, Mets fans must be thinking that mound must be male.  Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.    

Last night, a day after he had to be pulled with control problems, JJ Putz allowed four hits and a walk to the five batters he faced during the Pirates‘ five-run rally in the eighth inning of Monday’s 8-5 win over the Mets.  It was only the second time in 336 career appearances that Putz faced at least three batters and failed to retire any of them.  Maybe so, but if Putz keeps this and his fastball up, we just may soon be seeing more of Bobby Parnell.  I don’t think that’s such a bad thing.

Public Spectacle: 

Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
