Off Topic · OT: Yankees Sign Iraqi Hurler (page 1)

In their latest bid to beef up their pitching rotation for the 2009 season, the New York Yankees today signed Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi to a three-year deal worth $32 million.

The right-handed al-Zeidi, 28, impressed the Yankee scouts with his performance in Baghdad yesterday when he threw both of his shoes at President George W. Bush.

While neither of the shoes hit their target, both throws "had great velocity and good movement," said Yankee owner Hank Steinbrenner.

naw. I was just talking about how I said the Mets should sign him in the initial thread about the shoe throwing incident. Playin', nothing serious. Nothing to do with you, of course.

OK cool.

I thought it was damn funny.
