C.J. Wilson is a pud. Ron Washington is a stud.

Texas Rangers’ relief pitcher C.J. Wilson is headed to the Disabled List and possibly the DFA list. Supposedly for “bone spurs in his left elbow.”
Bullshit. It’s because Wilson’s not effective as a pitcher (recently removed from the closer’s role) and even worse – he’s disrespectful towards his manager and his team.
Last night, Wilson entered the game in the top of the eighth inning with the Rangers holding a six-run lead over the visiting New York Yankees.
Wilson threw 22 pitches … and was not impressive. He walked Bobby Abreu, hit Alex Rodriguez, struck out Xavier Nady, walked Robinson Cano, and then, with a 0-1 count, served up Richie Sexson’s 15th Career Grand Slam.
And then it got ugly.
