Today, the Mariner's finally released Richie Sexon, the most overpaid, under-achiever in all of major league baseball. MLB.com has the scoop, as does the PI and U.S.S. Mariner.
I don't expect Richie, who has been paid $15,500,000 to hit .218 so far this season, to get picked up by any other team, at least not to play everyday. I honestly don't think there's any team out there that wants an aging slugger that plays mediocre defense and has only 30 RBI's at the All-Star Break. Then again, there's always some team willing to try out a guy like Sexson, and perhaps out of Seattle he can turn things around.
Good riddance, Richie! Mariners games will be just a little more fun now that I know I won't have to watch you ground into a double-play after they walk the bases loaded for you.

Next up on the chopping block: our "DH".
Just a sad comment. This Ritchie S. comment by you Josh seems another in your series of negative comments. In fact I noticed you negative comment on Dave Neihaus the announcer. Geeze. Out of over 750 comments yours seems to be the only negative comment. Wonder why that is. Perhaps you should just sign off that type of stuff. Sad.
