    Reds Sign Joe Mays to minor league contract

    If you need a laugh on this Friday...

    Per Marc
    DETROIT -- I didn't believe they'd do it, but sure enough, the Reds have signed Joe Mays to a minor-league contract.

    Mr. Mays, you may recall, made six starts for the Royals this year, going 0-4 with a 10.27. He was designated for assignment May 8 and released May 16.

    Just heard this on 1360.

    Madness.

    He was assigned to Louisville at least.

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    Unbelievable. It is like we go out of our way to collect players no other team would want.

    Well, at least they didn't hold a press conference to announce it as a "big acquistion" like they did with the signing of a pinch hitter three years ago.

    At least he wasn't inserted directly into the big league rotation.

    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    Mays this year had a 10.27 ERA, a 2.20 WHIP and a .389 opponent's AVG. Maybe they picked him up to make Williams' numbers look better.

    Hey, we have cornered the market on former crappy KC lefties with "May" in their name.
