All that scrambling around to win back his love last year now seems a bit silly. If the Fat Man can't pull one out of the air this afternoon, it's the Boston Massacre II, only worse.
It used to be that David Wells was money in the bank against (or for!) the Yankees. He has always had a fascination for the Pinstripes. But I think age and the years of lack of conditioning has caught up with him. Emotion can only carry you so far. The underlying ability has to be there.
It's a shame. I love Boomer. I remember back when he was playing with the Orioles. The Os couldn't buy a win against the Yanks, except for when Wells was on the mound. With Wells, they couldn't lose to the Yanks. And Wells couldn't beat anybody, except the Yanks. At the end of that year, after being beaten by Wells 5 or 6 times, Steinbrenner got smart and hired him!
