Get Missing: Yankees We Were Glad To See Leave.

The DFAing of the much-maligned Jose Veras got me to thinking: Who were the Yankees people were most glad to see leave town? These aren’t the worst Yankees, they’re just the ones people were glad to see not donning the pinstripes anymore. I’ve compiled an unordered list of some of the ones I was glad to see leave, for a variety of reasons:

Ed Whitson: This fellow might be on everyone’s list. He-until another person on this list usurped his place-served as the poster-boy for maladjustment to the Bronx.

Best two out of three, Whitson... you punk. I can wait, I've got plenty of time.

Luis Polonia: Dude, do I even have to explain?

Ah, 15. I thought she was 36! Come on, guys. Tell me you wouldn't have popped her.

Chad Curtis: I don’t care what you do on Sunday morning. Do not mess with the Jeter.

Carl Pavano: Carl Pavano is the most useless baseball player in recent Yankee history. A waste of money, a waste of space, and the one good thing about the abortion that was the 2008 season was the end of his tenure in Yankee pinstripes.

Randy Johnson: We were promised a snarling, imposing, unstoppable left-handed force. We got the snarling bit the first day in town, but after that, despite his 34 wins, he was generally average. And he was a dick to Johnny Damon, which I just don’t approve of.

I don't care what these jerks say, Randy, your hair is kick-ass, man.

Kevin Brown: A wall-punching, non-performing, piece of juiced-up crap. If you’re going to roid rage, at least get some wins.

Gary Sheffield: An interesting case. Familiar script: People love Sheff when he’s in town, and he says all the right things. Then he slowly starts to irritate people until he’s run out of town on a rail. Wait a minute. I know this guy.

T.O., you clever S.O.B.

John Wetteland: Thanks for the Series saves. Really. Also, thanks for the 500,000 coronaries you gave people trying to undo Mo’s work. Can’t say I was sad to see you go.

Tony Womack: Sucked.

Don't look at me for answers, brother, we ain't related.

Todd Zeile: He didn’t want to be here; he wasn’t good here; no one cared that he left. Plus, let’s be real. That guy is a Met.

Armando Benitez: Some players should never, NEVER, wear pinstripes.

Jack McDowell: We don’t take this sort of disrespect well in the Bronx. WE do the flipping off, sir.

I find your logic and reasoning faulty, sir.

Steve Sax: Yakety-Sax would have been more useful. Also, one of his throws just got to Don Mattingly. Also, he may be responsible for every unsolved murder in New York City.

Mel Hall: As a Yankee, he actually mashed a bit. However, it was good to see him leave for two reasons:

• He hazed Bernie relentlessly, and it was good to get that d-bag out of the locker room; and,
• He is a social deviant. No one wants that.

Doesn't see what the big problem is.
