Memories of Jose Ureña

The Jays have signed our five-run save guy from Monday.

Memories? One, and it ain't good.

I remember Fman saying:

A lead so big even Jose Urethra couldn't piss it away

I think the Jays would be, like, his eighth team. Has a great future in Immaculate Grid.



Got tossed once (as a Marlin, or maybe as a Cub) after hitting Ronald Acuña (Jr.) in the elbow with the first pitch of the game, after Acu Acu had homered in five straight games. He got an impressive six-game suspension after that, which I don't think was even cut in half on appeal or anything.



One of those alternately crafty/erratic José Lima types who may pitch 20 years, who seems as capable of winning 20 games as he is of losing 20, or throwing a shutout and giving up six runs in the first inning in the very next start. I get the idea that he would never take PEDs because there are so many subtler and more creative ways to cheat. Drugs are just lazy. He once touched 99, and while that is certainly in the past, I bet he'll still be out there grinding when he's topping out at 90.

This year's one-game Met that people will look back on and say, "he played for the Mets?!?!" a la Julio Teheran.
