Julio Franco just keeps getting better!
Yesterday or the day before, Andy Van Slyke, well-known for running his mouth*, accused Julio Franco of using steroids, saying, basically: Look at him--he's like a hundred years old and still playing. He's got to be on the juice.
To which Franco replied, "I am on the juice. The juice of Jesus of Nazareth." What the hell he means, I have no idea, but I'll go with it. Franco is now the first baseman on my team of entertaining goofballs. Let's see: Doug Glanville in center, Julio Franco at first, Joaquin Andujar on the mound, Jim Bouton in the pen.
I guess my team still has some roster spots to fill. Suggestions?
*It's amazing how much of the "Barry Bonds is an asshole teammate" line comes from Van Slyke and Jeff Kent, who, by all appearances, are assholes.
