The New York Mets, who have been trying to fill their big hole at catcher, Saturday said they have ended negotiations with free-agent catcher Yorvit Torrealba.Thank freakin' god. At the very least, this saves us from the inevitable backcover headlines from the Post and Daily News declaring "Yorvit is Terriabla" or "Yorvit Terrea-blows." It also spares me from thinking that Yorvit is some sort of Latino bastard child of Joe Torre and Jessica Alba.
Paul Lo Duca must be loving this right now. I picture him reading this story in his bathrobe and then yelling downstairs to the basement where his doting Italian mom lives. "Hey Ma! Hey Ma! Don't pack that Michelangelo statue up in newspaper just yet, Ma! Your baby is still gonna be a Met, Ma! Your baby is still gonna be a Met!"
