Ring Him Up!

SPORTING GOODS

Just heard that horrible Met lefty Dae Sung Koo has been put on the DL with a contusion to his left shoulder. Rookie Royce Ring has been freed from AAA. This must be music to Chill's ears.

UPDATE by Chill:Thank the dear sweet baseball gods. Apparently Koo claims he was injured sliding into home against the Yankees in his last good outing, so he was playing hurt for the last two weeks. Either this is an example of one of the cultural gaps that exists in MLB today, or coming up with lame excuses for poor performance is a global phenomenon. I'm going with the latter.
