Seriously, Randy, if you're out there. Just hang 'em up already, dude. Call it a career, because there's no doubt in anyone's mind that you're done.

If he can convince them to keep playing/paying him ..... he'll be there.

Sad but true. He'll keep dragging out his aging carcass as long as the paychecks keep coming in.

Here's the latest on the Big Unit. According to the AP, "Randy Johnson returned home to Arizona on Wednesday, a day after a herniated disk landed the Diamondbacks pitcher on the 15-day disabled list for the third time this season... Arizona manager Bob Melvin said the 43-year-old left-hander has a personal trainer that he's rehabbed with in the past who could combine efforts with team medical personnel." They sent him home so that he didn't have to undergo the wear and tear of travel, and Melvin went on to say that surgery is not likely at this point.

I'd hope by now that the front office will offer him a gold watch and a certificate of thanks.
