We just want to pump you up!

You know, I hate it when my sense of foreboding is right: the Rangers are now taking special care to pump up their latest washed-up spare, Sidney Ponson:

I'm frankly speechless. This might be one of the worst attempts at justifying a horrible signing I have ever seen. Sidney Ponson has arguably been one of the worst pitchers in baseball over the past 4 years - but we're supposed to feel better because Frank Catalanotto and Michael Young say every at-bat against him was "tough" and "a grind". Oooookay.
