Yankees first baseman/DH Richie Sexson, who was a teammate of Washburn's in Seattle until earlier this month, thinks he would work out wonderfully in pinstripes. Said Sexson: "He'd be a great fit, especially in this city. I mean, he's a winner. He can take the ball anytime. He's a big-time competitor."
...
"In the three years I played with him, we never scored any runs for him," Sexson said. "He should have a lot more wins."
You're doing God's work, Richie. Don't be deterred by the skeptics. You know what your team needs, and what your team needs is a big fuzzy helping of Jarrod Washburn: The Winner That Doesn't Win.

Richie being Richie...
he’s funny.

A toast:

I think my favorite thing about this is the camera work.
When Richie collides with the pitcher, the camera rumbles with them making it seem like the entire stadium shook.
Wilder. - July 28, 2008
HAHAHA -- you're totally right!
That should be nominated for an emmy :-)
PositivePaul - July 28, 2008
OH THE HUMANITY!
Shawk - July 28, 2008
I love that...
Richie seems to think he has some credibility on the issue. He’s obviously the textbook example of talent.
Faux - July 28, 2008
Not everyone can be tall
don’t sell Richie short! (pun not intended)
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
I love that he thinks he knows what it takes to play in New York even though he hasn't been there two weeks
As opposed to places like Milwaukee and Florida, where you need someone more carefree and acquiescent.
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2008
That's probably what he thought about Seattle too
until we started booing him at home
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
Next to Philadelphia
I can’t imagine winding up in a worse city if you’re particularly sensitive to crowd disapproval.
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2008
NYC is worse.
It doesn’t really make sense, but the best fans in Philly are the baseball ones.
In contrast, I was at the first Sexson game @ Yankee stadium, and they started booing as his name was called for the first time.
Faux - July 28, 2008
Richie Sexson = Gives 110% to trying
Shawk - July 28, 2008
Haha
Yeah, whatever happened to scoring those runs, Richie? It wasn’t entirely your fault, but you a major contributor to the problem.
Wilder. - July 28, 2008
Technically it was only his fault last year and this year.
He was still alright back in 2006.

J/M - gut feel/inside info/whatever - Jarrod Washburn will be a member of the Seattle Mariners on Friday morning
Y/N
If (Y) – the return will be something greater than salary relief
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
I'll assume you mean If (N).
Will he be a member? No.
Will we get anything? No.
not based on inside info.
Matthew - July 28, 2008
Yeah, meant (N) and to add (Y/N) on the other side
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
No, not really
Jeff Sullivan - July 28, 2008
Richie has been through many wars, Yankee management should listen to him.
Bring Vidro over too.
RafaelCarmona22 - July 28, 2008
Keep Vidro, dammit
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
I thought this Washburn deal was done
If they’re haggling over players in return, then the deal is not done. I see no news from the media that a deal is made, and various accounts agree that the holdup is the M’s not agreeing with the Yankees’ offered return. A deal is done when both sides have agreed on terms. Sounds like someone’s source jumped the gun.
Gomez - July 28, 2008
A deal is done when Washburn is wearing the same uniform as Sexson!
Smith18 - July 28, 2008
I don't want Sexson back
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
YANKEES uniform, PINSTRIPES
Smith18 - July 28, 2008
Good point, though...that would suck!
Smith18 - July 28, 2008
I like how JAC mentions that we may be trying to sweeten the deal.
RRS, Sean Green and Saunders have even been discussed. Comment #40
I know ‘discussed’ is just that, but why the hell would we even get to that point that other names come up. Good God.
kentroyals5 - July 28, 2008
There's my point
If the deal is done, what’s to discuss? The deal clearly is not done.
Gomez - July 28, 2008
This is the most productive Richie Sexson
has been for the Mariners in 2 years.
Omerta - July 28, 2008
Anyone have a screenshot of Richie's cell phone?
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
That's absolutely adorable.
Now if he does it while drunk, that’s even better.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 28, 2008
Wow I love it when news companies go crazy over texting celebrities
Like it’s some big deal.
Seriously, youre only embarassing yourself. Everyone thinks youre a jackass. Texting means nothing, this isnt the 90s or something.
Karma Police - July 28, 2008
Oh yeah, thats not directed at anyone here
Just the Daily News. I know it kind of looks like im talking to seattlebruin, but Im innocent I tell you!
Karma Police - July 28, 2008
It's OK, I flagged you anyway, jerk!
j/k
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
Noooooooooooooooo...
(gets banned from entire internet, ceases to exist)
Karma Police - July 28, 2008
Yeah but there's still that funny image of
Sexson texting Wash “g2g practice ttyl”
And Wash responding “k douche”
dbroncos31 - July 28, 2008
kevin_ess - July 28, 2008
Flagged for lack of "bone her?" after Madonna was mentioned
OlSalty - July 28, 2008
Thought about that, then vomitted.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2008
It would have been funnier with Buhner, anyway.
Llewdor - July 28, 2008
Cue Paul posting his Buhner grab-ass photo in 5... 4... 3....
Gomez - July 28, 2008
Woo!
Dammit, not that one…
PositivePaul - July 28, 2008
Er...
Gomez - July 28, 2008
That Paul guy is a sham.
Rumor has it all of his photos were actually taken by Geoff Baker on his cell phone.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2008
As funny as the dugout has become.
RafaelCarmona22 - July 28, 2008
Thanks.
My parents tell me I’m worthless too. God bless my photoshop skills for making lives better. I hope your day was infinitely improved due to my incredible post.
kevin_ess - July 28, 2008
I'll rec you for the effort at least
seattlebruin - July 28, 2008
In this case, the gun means hunting.
Faux - July 28, 2008
Sexson is the most helpful thing you have done for the M's since Sept. 2006
