Yankees relief pitcher Chan Ho Park had a pretty valid excuse for why he didn't do so well during the first two games of last week’s season-opening series with the Red Sox. He says he was suffering because he "had a lot of diarrhea." The full transcript of the exchange is worth reprinting in its entirety, as it is extremely hilarious. PARK: I had a lot of diarrhea. That - That is what you want to know?REPORTER: Your manager said you were sick.PARK: Yeah, I had a lot of diarrhea. I had...Read Full Story

Opening Day of baseball began with a moment of silence for the death of… …Chan Ho Park’s Beard. Oh, Chan Ho Park’s Beard. We hardly knew you. Your life was cut short–no pun intended, this is a eulogy for fuck’s sake–and you did not make it long enough–ahem–to see your first year. But you accomplished great things in the precious little time you were with us. Is it a coincidence that around the time of your birth, The Face That Wore You had one of his best seasons in recent history? We think...Read Full Story

Sorry I didn’t get this stuff to you sooner. Here are the updates on Nick Johnson and Chan Ho Park…just trying to catch up: From the Star-Ledger: ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nick Johnson said he felt better on Sunday morning though it remains unclear whether the soreness in his lower back will allow him to play against the Orioles on Tuesday. “It’s a lot better,” said Johnson, who has been on anti-inflammatory medication. and here’s some more on Mr. Park: NEW YORK – Two days after allowing a run...Read Full Story

New York _ With a short-handed bullpen Friday, the Yankees turned to God - a/k/a Yahweh, Allah, Sky Pilot, etc - and the Being didn't disappoint, twirling three shutout innings to preserve New York's victory over the forever-to-be-tainted-by-George-Bush Texas Rangers."When I heard of the injury to (Yankee reliever) Chan Ho (Park), I had two options," God told Suzyn Waldman, after He was named Road Runner Deity of the Game. "One, I could lay hands and do a 10-second miracle, which was My first...Read Full Story

Happy birthday Chan Ho Park! We hope you had a fantastic 37th birthday yesterday. It took me a long time to write this post, because I accidentally fell down a wormhole of googling hot pictures of you in your beard (of which there are many). You know I have a thing for beards! Anyway, instead I’ve used a current snap of you in your new Yankees gear just to get this post out the door. Eventually I realized that, beard or no beard, you’ll never really look quite so hot as you chould… if you’re...Read Full Story

When an ex-major leaguer goes to Japan to play baseball, they usually dominate the competition and extend their careers. Some do go over there and fail, but it doesn't happen too much. And they hardly get sent to the minors. Unless your Jose Tolentino. Somehow former all-star pitcher Chan Ho Park has been demoted to Japan's minor leagues. Park has won only one of seven starts for the Buffaloes with an earned run average of 4.29,so I can see why. Pitching coach Osamu Fukuma said that Park...Read Full Story

Whatever happened to all those arms in spring training?We traded Brian Bruney, scrapped Chad Gaudin, sent Melancon back to the mines, pleasured ourselves with Pat Venditte and fillibustered for three weeks about what to do about Ace or Sergio, because we were up to our armpits in arms.Then, last night -- BOOM, POOF, STURTZE.Our bullpen had a worse Easter than the Pope. Yeah, it's early. Yeah, everybody can bounce back. But whatever happened to the bridge over the River Pedroia? One fear: We...Read Full Story
