HOW BAD DO YOU FEEL FOR DAVID AARDSMA RIGHT NOW?

Quick report coming out of Major League Baseball.  Former Mariner, former Yankee and now former Miami Marlin, David Aardsma, has been released by the Marlins, the team that took a chance on him just a few short weeks ago.

According to the Times Picayune HERE, "Aardsma, a righty who made 10 appearances with the (New Orleans) Zephyrs this season, was released by the Miami Marlins after signing a minor league contract on April 15. The contract stipulated that he could request his release if he was not called up by May 15, an option that was exercised on Wednesday.

'It kind of puts the team into a position to have to make a move,' Aardsma said of the contract stipulation. 'You've got to use that advantage of "well I might go somewhere else,' ... It's just like any negotiation. You want the ball in your court and that's what that kind of does.'"

Hey, you have to admire the attitude of Aardsma.  He clearly was excited when the Marlins took a chance on him and he was obviously pushing to make it all the way back, but he ran out of time. I just hope the guy latches onto a pro team soon, he deserves it.

We're pulling for you Animal!

Side note... message to NOLA Zephrys pitching coach Charlie Corbell.  No more video messages about the Zephrys players. It looks like you are in a hostage video. Just click on the Times Picayune HERE to see what I'm talking about.
