Clueless Carl, The Biggest Tool in the Yankee Pen?

2007_03_pavanoshoes.jpg

Carl Pavano has to be the most clueless person on the planet. After spending almost two years on the DL and earning $20 million for it, there is a report that his agent is suing him for non-payment of his commission. It seems that Carl felt he deserved $40 million and not the $39.95 million he got, so he didn’t pay his agent.

This brings up an interesting question, could the Yankees sue Pavano? They were expecting 200 innings a year from him and since he has only pitched 100 in two years, how about a lawsuit for 75% of his salary in that period?

And, is he serious about suing over $50,000? We can’t wait until this one goes to trial and he has to explain that. Then again, maybe he needs the money for a down payment on a new car or to help his girlfriend get a new website?

I think Alyssa Milano should sue him, since she thought she was dating a ballplayer.

I wish I was clueless enough to earn $20m.

Teams can't sue their players for being injured. The Player's Union would never allow it.

That lame sh*t Pavano should build a monument to any agent crafty enough to get him a $40 million contract. The nerve of him to withhold payment.

no shit sherlock. you may want to look up the definition of a word called sarcasm.

Thank God the Yankees have this asshole on their team.

Chien Ming Wang should be demoted to the bullpen to make room for the new ace Pavano in the rotation.

I can't sling shit at Pavano any more than I can at his agent. Both are equally greedy, useless and worthless. I'm sure there's some quasi-logical rationale behind the misunderstanding, I'm just hoping that Pavano finds a way to land, like Mike Hampton, on the DL yet again.

What a waste.

The guy sits on his brains .
