    MLB The Fat Toad Returns!!

    Former New York Yankees pitcher Hideki Irabu has come out of retirement and made a contract with Long Beach Armada of the independent Golden Baseball League, his management revealed on April 27. Released by the Hanshin Tigers in the 2004 offseason, the 39-year-old Irabu started training at the start of the year with an eye on making his comeback and is set to return to the mound in May for his first competitive game in five years.

    Oh wait, George Steinbrenner's dead.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Irabu held a 1.68 ERA in mid-June of 1998. 11 years later he'll be making his triumphant return. I wonder if he thinks he can pull any of his old Montreal connections to get in over there?

    Jeeze, is this guy serious? If he can maintain a 6 ERA, I'll be impressed.
